To the most wonderful fans,

It is a dream come true for Gilles and me - a perfect score of 30 for our Waltz and Salsa. Wow!

Gilles and I will perform three dances during the Finale. We have something big and memorable planned. The freestyle is where it will all happen. We have the most amazing song ever. It is going to be big! After hearing the first line of the song, you are going to know exactly what it is all about. We are dedicating our last dances to you all who have meant so much to us.

Next week will culminate our Season 8 DWTS voyage. We would not be here in the final round without your overwhelming love and remarkable support. It has been a great joy to be part of a fantastic season, to have passionate dance partner, fans and friends. It is a season filled with fun memories and accomplishments, both on and off the dance floor.

A million thanks to you all.

With love and gratitude in my heart,

Cheryl

You have my support 100%. It's been a joy to have you on the show for another season and this has been my favorite season so far. Gilles is just the best ever and there is no doubt in my mind he should win this thing. If America votes for the best dancer on Monday, you and Gilles will win! I can't wait to see your dances, we'll be voting until we literally can't anymore.

You and Gilles have definitely made this season memorable. It has been the most exciting season to me in the history of the show. Both of you have made me so excited to watch. No matter what happens, you and Gilles will always be remembered for your fun, sexy, classy and fantastic dancing. In my opinion, nobody else compares.

Good luck to you and Gilles. You two will always be number 1 in my book.

I'm sure both of you have great, new and exciting things in your future to look forward to. You both deserve it.

Good Luck

Cheryl.

WOW is right those were two amazing dances. All your dances have been so memerable this season in spite of the judges scores. The summer will not be the same this year with no tour to talk about of show to watch. Have a great time this week practicing and Good Luck on Mon and Tues. Am alrady anticipating the best Freestyle ever and know this will be one to remember for all time. You always make them so exiting to watch. Dance great and dont worry about the voting they will come from all your loyal fans. Millions and millions of votes are coming. Then take some time to yourelf and Maxwell and have a great time on vacation. You have so earned it. And then will anticipate next Sept when you come back to have another great season. Take care LUV YA. Steven M (The Lovelycherylwinner Person).

It's been a great Season Cheryl...No matter what the outcome of the Finale,we will be with you as always and have our support.

It's really ridiculous that it's almost impossible now to have a great Freestyle without some sort of great lifts..But please take it easy ok...Pls tell Gilles to take care of the shoulder and for you as well, be careful with your head,lol..I read somewhere,that someone was suggesting to you to wear a helmet in practice..I thought that would be a great gag for your package.

.

But nyway, as always, what a fabulous fabulous job you've done this season...Can't wait for monday,though i'm nervous but excited.Don't forget to remind Gilles on monday to relax and do as you always say,that all he need is to perform...God bless and love you very much..

P.S.Perhaps, Gilles can post those voting blocks in some of the famous French site on the net.He is going to need the support of his people.Remember Helio back in season 5, the Brazilians back home were behind him all the way and took some time to vote for him.

Cheryl, I will try to echo the sentiments of what has been written thusfar. I don't usually watch DWTS or any reality TV show for that matter and I intially tuned in to see Chuck and Julianne but from the very first dance you and Gilles won me over and I have been voting for the two of you ever since. Your talent and creativity transformed an actor into an incredible dancer! This has been such a thrill to be a part of "the dance" so to speak and my Mondays and Tuesdays have never been more exciting.

You can believe that we will do whatever it takes to insure that victory is yours and Gilles!!!

Cheryl

Cheryl,

You and Gilles are the best that happened in DWST. Your amazing choreographies, patience as well as awesome chemistry with Gilles is what brought you two in the finals. Of course your throng of supporters is working hard to prepare for Monday.

belski74 suggestion is great. Voting blocks in French site is a good idea. Also, I was able to convinced our 4 french speaking officemates to watch DWST last monday and they were mesmerized by Chilles. Guess what, they are voting for Chilles as well.

Hi Cheryl,
The closer we get to Monday, the more excited I get so I know you must be as excited. I want to say something like 'throw down' or 'tear it out the frame' but I will just say good luck and enjoy it!!!!! It is the end of the most exciting time that I have had watching a season and you two are the best couple that I have seen on the show. Go ahead and bring it on home!!! We will do the voting.......
Take care,
Peggy

Dear Cheryl and Gilles~
I just wanted to THANK YOU BOTH dearly for a Glorious "Thrill Ride" this current season. Cheryl Honey, you have been blessed this year with the Most "PROfessional/Amateur" ever, and you two are EXACTLY what the program is all about.Gilles is an extraordinary gentleman, and his passion and dedicated work ethic is wholly apparant; much like a fellow named Astaire years ago, who "worked hard to make it LOOK EASY". I see this in Gilles, certainly you all have labored hour after hour to create something Fresh and you have done this with GENIUS!
PLEASE do not discard a wonderful chemistry on the dance floor, a "Magic" that I dont believe American Culture has seen for a good many years. Allow us, in any way possible, to experience again sometime the JOY of seeing you all perform; please do, because "Beautiful things" do not happen very often.
Always voting for you Cheryl, and Gilles, who remains a Most Elegant "Prince Charming" in a delightful DWTS "Cinderella" story!
btw.. I am an Astaire archivist, and have in my possession an actual bowtie owned/worn by Mr Astaire with documentation verifying it. Do any of you all have a way I could send this to him? I think it would be a fitting destination.If, of course, you cant comment, I certainly understand; the IMPORTANT thing is..GOOD LUCK tomorrow , and you've got a WHOLE BUNCH of People in your Corner..ALWAYS!

Gratefully,
Tally Haugen
