    Mark is by far the best male dancer on DWTS. His mega energy raises ballroom to a whole new level. His intellect shines through. And he's MASCULINE on the dance floor. He makes you believe that he loves his partner which just makes a girl swoon. Super cute and hot hot hot! = )

    Mark Ballas a.k.a. Mr. Babelicious is hands-down the best dancer on Dancing With the Stars. Just like all true Gemini's- we're artistic by nature. Once we get something right nobody does it better than us. His choreography, and swift moves are just mind-blowing. The man has rhythm! Now back to how edible he is...his bubble butt and gorgeous face coupled with his moves have me mesmerized. At my age (25 almost 26)I never thought I'd feel this way about an on-screen personality. I feel like a teen again. Isn't that just wonderful? I love it! Now I'm hooked to this show for all of the seasons to come because I simply want more of him. Can you blame me? No, I didn't think so. Just like you can't blame me for wondering how spicy hot he'd be in bed considering all those flirty moves he loves to do on the dance floor!
