Imagine if he had stayed and Harry Jowsey kicked the bucket early, instead!
Oh, the laughs we would have had from the drollVeepstar.
This is Xochitl Gomezs contest to lose, right?

Lets see if anyone came close to stealing her spotlight tonight.
Shes the non-dancing celeb whoactually improvesover the course of the show.

I love the country western feel to it, said Bruno Tonioli.
There were a couple of hesitancies.
This is the semifinals.
Beautiful song, beautiful waltz.
Proper, correct, you really danced like a gentleman, said Tonioli.
You are not a runaway, baby, said Derek Hough.
You are running toward the finale with that dance.
But Lawson, whos damn neartechnicallyperfect, finally showed a little passion under the mirror ball.
The rumba is a deceptively difficult dance but you made it look effortless, said Hough.
The way you articulated your feet.
Your flexibility, the bounce, so smooth … you are a star!PerfectScore
Second dance.
Learning the paso doble was apparently hard for Mraz.
My meniscuses tore just watching him!
Its not always about perfection, said Inaba, after asking for a hug.
Im looking for magic.
Gomez not only danced the waltz, shedramatizedit.
Her artistry is a sight to behold.
But were not laughing at you, Carrie Ann!
You know I was thinking about how importance this season is, said Hough.
This is the first time we have the Len Goodman trophy.
Im telling you right now, Len would have loved that dance.
That was absolutely perfect.
Hes right.Perfect Score
Lawson and Chigvintsev.How awful having to perform the quickstep after Gomez extraordinary waltz.
You put too much sass and pizzazz, which Ive never seen before, said Tonioli.
Work it because youve got it!Perfect score
Hannigan andFarber.
Farber did his partner proud by creating a sweet waltz that had Hough declaring it her best dance yet.
Im just proud of you, added Inaba.
You have the ability for us to feel so much.
The way you dance with such vulnerability.Score:26 out of 30
Madix andPashkov.A vision in sea foam!
Madix continues to amaze.
That was smooth, it was silky, it was sensual.
That was a jam-packed foxtrot.Perfect Score
What a shocker of an ending.
We all expected Hannigan to go home, right?
She thought she was a goner, until Ribeiro said EVERYONE was safe.
So mean, Conrad Green!
Five couples in the finale!
Good for Hannigan; shes got dinner party conversation fodder to last her for decades.
