Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald have won the Classic Couples Tournament, congratulations to them! Never in my experience have I seen an individual (in this case, a duo) garner so many votes in every single round in a tournament, especially this last round…

They knocked out favorites Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers with  85 votes to their 31… has been a crazy tournament for sure! Now back to strictly Roz for a while, haha… 🙂
