my mental meanderings...

John O'Hurley was robbed

I thought John O'Hurley and Charlotte Jorgensen was the "couple to beat." They seemed like a sure thing since their Quickstep during week three, but just like how London was chosen as the host city for the 2012 Olympics over Paris, Kelly Monaco and Alec Mazo pulled the rug out from under us and became the champions of Dancing With The Stars.

It really sucked having to watch a different couple get knocked out every week. I'm sure if Trista or Evander were allowed to stay in the competition for the full 6 weeks then we would have been able to see them improve like Kelly improved. Perhaps they should have kept each couple in the competition for the full six weeks and then combine all the scores from each week to determine the overall winner. I think that would have been more fair. But you can definitely tell the stars were having a lot of fun and they really worked hard and improved the whole time they were on the show, not just Kelly. I noticed Joey's latin frame was so much better compared to week one. And you can definitely tell that John O'Hurley lost a lot of weight.

I think the real winner of the show is Ballroom Dancing itself. Hopefully this show has generated enough interest for people to get out and learn ballroom. As many of you know I am an avid ballroom dancer, although not so much now since I can't find any decent leads to dance with, but hopefully that will change. So I wonder which celebrities will be chosen for Season 2...hehe, I can't wait!
