Mario Lopez Pretends to Be Modest on 'Dancing With the Stars' Finale

Now that Joey Lawrence is but a distant memory, it was easy for me to focus on Mario Lopez's smooth moves during the "Dancing with the Stars" finale.
But while I've been mostly buying his "Gee whiz, we're just happy to have made it this far" modesty ?- always combined with those perfectly adorable indentations into his cheeks ?- I had a little trouble with that during this episode, which showed snippets of various interviews.
So we not only got to see Mario confessing after the first dance that he thought he might be the earliest one to go ?- i.e., before Jerry Springer, not to mention Tucker Carlson ?- but also, later in the episode, listen to him passionately claim that he never thought he'd make it to the finals.

Um, Mario, you've been the frontrunner this entire competition. Are we really supposed to believe that you're the only one who didn't know that?
Sure, the race is tight ?- the two teams are tied at 59 out of 60 ?- but man, if you're any more modest, I'm going to accuse you of mocking us.

That's funny - I've sort of been recruited into watching this series by my fiancee, and I noticed Mario gushing his phoney "aw shucks" all over the place, after scoring perfect scores.
I noticed that Mario wasn't too happy at the final results, with Emmett and CHeryl winning.
Every man who dances with Cheryl Burke seems to be a winner, and the couple usually wins with Latin dances, since Cheryl is a Latin Ballroom champion.
