Seems to care a-lot about Mario and wanted him to win the trophy, in my book he did win the dancing part. We really don't know if Emmitt would of been a good sport at losing, like he said he doesn't like to lose.

Karina went from 0 to uber diva right out of the box even though others were more established on DWTs than she was.Guest Jeff wrote: Friday, December 8, 2006 1:56 PM I wouldn't worry about Cheryl. I think after her win with Drew, the DWTS producers looked at Emmitt, (5'9", bulky, muscular with 15 years of NFL poundings), and assumed they were giving her Evander Holyfield the 2nd. They assumed wrong. My guess is Cheryl should prepare herself to be choreographing routines around her next partners walker or wheelchair.
"Now dancing the cha cha cha, Stephen Hawking and his partner, Cheryl Burke!"Guest Jaime wrote: Tuesday, December 5, 2006 2:59 PM Mario has said the other female pros can't hold a candle to Karina so I wonder if he got that attitude from karina. Maybe she watched a couple of seasons and was positive she could sweep in and win because she's so much better than the other girls. To me that attitude showed. It's not about the partner, it's about the celeb. They never did congratulate Emmitt. I don't feel bad for her, she was a sore loser. It's poor sportsmanship.
As for Cheryl, it's not her fault fans keep voting her and her partner into the finals. She doesn't force anyone to dial the number for Drew or Emmitt. It's the fans. If it's bad to keep having her on then the fans should stop voting for her. If they don't, then the others simply have to step up to compete, that's all. Look at what she does to win, especially her philosophy of choreographing and dancing with a celebrity.
