Whatever this season is, I was tired of the dancing, judges, and contestants. I just couldn’t stand to watch Chloris Leachman. Melissa Rycroft, The Woz, Julianne’s boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, Denise Richards, Shawn Johnson, and a few others came along too that really didn’t interest me either.

Who did I find to be the most interesting? I could not wait to watch Gilles Marini expertly dance during each episode. I really got interested in him after I saw the Sex and the City movie we he portrayed the character Dante. Proving he’s no one-act wonder, Gilles shows his other talents on Dancing with the Stars. He turns the heat up in the ballroom when he dances. Carrie Ann Inaba even mentioned how lucky his wife was.

The big disappointment on the show was Denise Richards – she showed an almost total lack of both talent and personality. Unfortunately The Woz had a great personality but just couldn’t find his groove. While Chuck Wicks put in 110% and stayed on the show week after week. I have to admit I never would have dreamed Lil’ Kim, who I knew very little about before the show, would turn out to be an incredible dancer and one of my favorite celebs. Derek Huff showed what expert choreography and showmanship can bring to the dance floor with his amazing routines. They proved to be a powerful duo when they showed that they had chemistry along with their talent. That’s why I was very surprised when Lil’ Kim was knocked out of competition with four other couples still alive.

As it stands right now the last couples in competition are Melissa and Tony, Ty and Chelsie, Gilles and Cheryl, Shawn and Mark. When Jewel fractured the tibia in both her legs five days before the season premiere, that is when Melissa stepped up and took her place. She showed immediately that she had ballet training. Ballet really paid off for Melissa. Twice she scored thirty out of thirty from the three judges. Even if you get a perfect score from the judges, you still risk being voted off the show. Just like Sabrina Bryan. She received a perfect score in another season and was eliminated early. The celeb dancer who has shown real progress is World Champion rodeo cowboy Ty Murry. Ty’s experience riding bulls and guiding horses doesn’t translate directly to the dance floor and provided a big cache of voting fans who normally wouldn’t watch Dancing with the Stars. Shawn Johnson’s Olympic performance was so endearing, and her dancing is the same. And rounding this amazing cast of celebrities is Gilles Marini who didn’t make a move I didn’t absolutely love.

Who will win? Eliminations are continuing on this week’s episode. But afterwards, when only three celebrities and their partners are left, each dance team has a chance to prove to the judge’s they’re the ones who deserve to win. You know what I’ll be watching that evening. I hope it lives up to the best moments that have already happened this season and we get to see the best final yet!

Hopefully you can watch Dancing in HD like I can – it really does make a difference. Recently my son convinced me to ditch my regular TV and make the jump to an HDTV. Oh Man! I never imagined how much clearer my picture would be with high definition. If you get an HD high definition TV you’ll need to contact your local cable provider to get the most out of it. I called Comcast Cable, my cable service supplier, and add HD channels to my already great channel lineup. And the HDTV picture form Comcast is amazing. While I was at it I added Comcast High Speed Internet and Comcast Digital Voice for a super low triple play bundle rate. My new broadband Internet service is lightning fast and has opened up a whole new world of multimedia that I didn’t know existed before Comcast High Speed Online. As a bonus, they offer digital phone service at flat rate pricing. The phone is very clear and I can call friends and family around the US and never have to pay long distance charges. You do not have to think twice before order Comcast’s great package deals. Saving money while enjoying the best cable tv, broadband internet, and digital phone service can offer is a no-brainer. For additional savings, Search the web, and you will find plenty of Comcast Cable’s latest promotions. Consider Comcast’s bundle called Triple Play. You can get each service in one discounted package for huge savings over purchasing each one individually.
