Just because Julianne is Mormon doesn’t mean she has to get married and have lots of kids brio9!

I can tell you that Apolo and Julianne are together and you will find out if you take a deeper look when they dance together on tour. Allison Baver is so out of the picture. Geez I mean shes cute but Julianne…
Apolianne is so real.

Apolo and Julianne are Super Amazing.
They are the best so far of all Dancing with the Star Season. I hope we hear more from them.

Hey Brio9, Mario and Karina ended up together, and I know that Maksim and another celeb hit it off, so it’s not necessarily all about “the dance” and acting. Keep in mind that most people, myself included, are hopeless romantics and would love for A&J to work it out even though most of us know that this is a long shot, so stop debunking already…

I watched Apolo and Julianne dance together, it was very exciting for a 68 year old man to watch. Good luck in their future endevers.

Hats off to these amazing young people, who worked so hard to give us a great show. Julliane was a fantastic partner, helping Apolo to finally show some passion rather than just a grin while dancing, at the end of the rhumba. She has changed his life, by adding sensuality to his repertoire of skills. Not to mention all the dancing footwork and other cool moves.

Don’t be too hard on the sex-starved audience for searching for romance! Fantasy is fun.

I enjoyed seeing how well Apolo cleaned up for performances. Who did the awesome hairstyles?

Julianne was supposed to marry her fiance in August, actually, but it’s been called off. I know her, as she went to my school last year (she was on dance company), and it’s been called off. I still don’t think she and Apolo are together, despite how cute it would be. They come from very different backgrounds, and there would be a lot of culture clash.

You people are so immature and know nothing about dancing.

Each dance has a specific character which must be expressed by every part of the dancer’s body, including the face. It’s like acting.

Apolo and Julianne did an excellent job of characterizing every dance together, especially the more passionate Latin ones. But none of you get that. It was all part of the performance, which was over as soon as the music stopped.

But all of you in these forums (including the one on ABC) think it was real and all that passion they expressed together on the dance floor actually meant something.

Those of us who are adults and actually do ballroom dancing know better. I can Rumba with men I can’t stand and make an entire room of people think I “have it bad” for them, only to walk off the floor and display my usual indifference towards them. What does that prove? That I’m an excellent dancer.

And that’s precisely what Apolo and Julianne were proving. Unfortunately, because none of you know anything about the important element of characterization in dance, you’re all fantasizing about some potential romance that doesn’t even exist between these two people. You’re reading far too much into it.

As they’ve said all along, they’re like brother and sister, they enjoy one another’s company, and they’ve shared a very memorable experience that they will carry with them the rest of their lives. They will likely be friends for life, but they will probably never be a couple.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but sooner or later, it’s time to grow up and get real.

And as for Julianne only being 18, she is clearly very mature for her age. She’s always been around adults and she was sent to Blackpool, England at the age of 10 to live with her dancing coaches for years. She’s also a Morman, and in her belief, women are frequently expected to marry young and raise a large family.

Her fiancé is five years older than her and has already given up his dancing career, and sadly, she will also be expected to by the time she’s 21, meaning that she probably won’t win any “over 21” championships.

I was hoping they were just saying that they weren’t a couple to throw people off the track so they could have some privacy. I am going to miss them dancing. They do make a great couple!

I too thought he was seeing Allison Baver. Perhaps they are keeping it a secret. I hope, for her sake, that they are keeping it a secret or that they are not together. It would hurt if the man you were seeing was parading around claiming to be single. His career as a celebrity has taken off because so many women think he is single. Perhaps this is the work of a good agent?
