My Guilty Pleasure - Dancing With The Stars

Before the start of this seasons Dancing with the Stars I have to admit I had grown weary of the b-list celebs and over-the-top judges. I just couldn't stand to watch Chloris Leachman. Nevertheless then along came Gilles Poet, Lil Kim, Ty Philologue, Melissa Rycroft, The Woz, Julianne's sweetheart, Diet Wicks, Denise Richards, Shawn Johnson, and some others that certainly didn't excite me.

Who did I find to be the most interesting? I could not wait to watch Gilles Marini expertly dance during each episode. I discovered Gilles when I saw Sex and the City where he stood out among a cast of talented actors and actresses. Just like in Sex and the City, he proved to be the best entertainment on Dancing with the Stars. Gilles raises the temperature on the dance floor. 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. The Woz had the personality, but no talent. Chuck Wicks gave it his all, and lasted longer than most. I didn't really like Lil' Kim until I saw her dance so amazingly well. Derek Huff showed what expert choreography and showmanship can bring to the dance floor with his amazing routines. They obviously had real chemistry, and they demonstrated a high level of talent and skill as well. It was a shock that she was eliminated with four others remaining.

So who did make it to the last couple of shows? It looks like it's going to be Ty and Chelsie, Gilles and Cheryl, Melissa and Tony, and Shawn and Mark. With nearly no preparation Melissa replaced an injured Jewel just before shooting began this season. Melissa didn't struggle too much for someone with such little prep time - she has training in ballet. Her performances have been close to perfection, earning her perfect scores in the last show. Perfect scores do not protect you from being voted off, however. (Just ask Sabrina Bryan, who was eliminated early in another season after receiving a perfect score.) The celeb dancer who has shown real progress is World Champion rodeo cowboy Ty Murry. Having a rodeo star background gave him a wide, diverse fan base during voting, but did little in the way of preparing him for dancing. Shawn Johnson, gold medal winning gymnast, showed us that she can perform on the hard dance floor just as well as she can on a soft mat. And rounding this amazing cast of celebrities is Gilles Marini who didn't make a move I didn't absolutely love.

Just which couple has the chops and the votes to win the judge's hearts? Another celebrity contestant and their partner gets sent off on the next show. And on the final episode the three remaining couples will compete in winner take all competition. 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!

On a side note, one of the best ways to watch Dancing with the Stars is in high definition. After fifteen years with my regular 32-inch screen I decided to take the leap and make the HDTV upgrade with a new widescreen TV. Wow! HD really gives you that 'you're really there' feeling. I had no idea how good it was. Of course I also had to get HD cable service from my local cable provider, Comcast Cable, but the service is outstanding and the rates for adding high definition service are very low. By taking advantage of a bundle special for my area I was able to add Comcast High Speed Internet and Comcast Digital Voice. 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. Plus, the clear digital phone service sounds amazing and flat-rate pricing means I can call all my friends and family nationwide without paying 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. I suggest using the web to find the best Comcast Cable promotions and savings out there. You really can save a bunch if you know where to find them. Make sure you take a look at their Triple Play bundle that lets you get all three services for one incredibly low price.
