As someone said before, I think her personality really rubbed off on tony this season, making him a much more likable person. Yes, Marissa can be VERY Patty Simcox from Grease, but all during this season (and when I have heard/seen her before) she has never said an unkind word about anyone, judges or other competitors. I'd rather have someone like her in the finals, who REALLY wants to be there, over someone like Jason who is doing and making little "dancing is not macho" type comments all the time (and looks like moving cardboard - albeit HOT moving cardboard.)
But, hell, Marissa has a Tony award, which way outshines the Mirror Ball.
