I thought the comedian on the finale was very disgusting and insulting. Why ruin an awesome show with such trash?

idk who’s gonna go at this point. I think that Shawn has definetly earned a spot in the finals with that Argentine Tango, I mean it was one of the best dances I’ve seen this season. I also think that she’s peaking at the right time, getting higher scores than ever!!! Let’s remember Shawn and Gilles are the only stars who have never been in danger of elimination so far in the season. So to say that Shawn doesn’t have a fan base is totally wrong. She performed in the friggin Olympics, and not to mention upon winning a gold medal for all of America, I have to say that she’s definetly an icon right now. I love Gilles but, I see no growth. I vote for the contestant who lives up to the essence of the show. Not being a dancer, embracing ballroom dancing, and each week consistently improving. I see no improvement in Gilles, no improvement in Melissa. Shawn and Ty have shown and displayed improvement in both performance and technique throughout the season. Im ready for this FINALE though—hoping to see Gilles, Shawn, and Melissa. I wanna see a fight like no other, I want the 10’s to be flying off of the paddles.

I just can’t decide how I think tonight will play out. I’m fairly confident that Gilles is safe, but I think he’s the only one. And yes, he still deserves to win, making Cheryl the first three time pro winner.
Have fun at the concert tonight.

Wow, you saw the same thiing with Gilles in the Fox Trot that I did. I thought he was so serious. Maybe I missed something in the storyline. But, Gilles deserves to win. Stop the competition now. Lsst night he was magic. He and Cheryl dance pure perfection. There was a sureal and fantasy-like quality when I watched him. The other three are excellent dancers but I feel they bring too much of their athletic backgounds to the floor. Gilles dances from his heart and his soul.
Who is going home tonight? I am not even going to venture a guess. IF I had to hazzard a guess I might say Shawn. Ty has such a large fan base, and Melissa seems to also have her legion of followers. If Gilles goes home, I will buy a bottle of red French wine and cry as I drink it!
I will need to read your blog tomorrow to see what happens. I will be at a Il Divo concert tonight. Last night watcing Gilles dance and tonight Il Divo. Life is good!
