[quote=Anonymous]I was rooting hard for Ilona.   I haven't watched in years but Ilona got me watching.  I read some stuff from sites that carefully follow these shows - though to be honest I'm surprised there isn't more detail available on voting.

Apparently Bachelor Nation is a powerful voting block and while Ilona's natural charm came close it wasn't enough.  When a Bachelor contestant has any dancing ability they've won in the past tend seasons, it seems.  To be fair to the winner, he was a really good dancer.

Was Chandler the best dancer last night (and in the final 5?). Probably.  last year a thin talented youngster won, and my guess was the same wouldn't happen again.    The other thing is the voting public tends to not like it when someone with dancing experience comes in and seems to run away with it.  It strikes a sour note with a segment of the voting population.  That's why Chandler played down any past dance experience (and she only had childhood dancing, not a ton) and played up how humble she was.  All the cast (the ones who make it far) are very savvy about speaking to the public correctly in their few short interviews.  There's a strong storyline for successful contestants of coming in new and just learning it - throwing themselves into it and discovering a new passion for dance.  Athletes tend to do well in the competition because they are used to putting in the training.  So Ilona - in addition to having her powerful messaging of being a "big" strong girl, also had the most growth going for her.  Joey had done cheer in high school?  College?  And is also an athlete (tennis).  He just has a lot of raw talent.

I think the top 3 was correct.  My personal list was Ilona, Joey, and then Chandler.  [/quote]
