I'm pretty sure I look forward to this night more than a normal human being should. The winner of Dancing with the Stars will be announced tonight, and I'm freaking pumped! Here are my thoughts on the three final contenders:
I have forever been and will forever be a fan of Baby. Jennifer Grey embodied all the character traits a teenager can relate to in Dirty Dancing. BUT, as I have to remind myself frequently, that was a character, it's not really her. And, I have not been able to warm up to Jennifer on the show as I could to her time at a family summer camp in upstate New York in the 60's. *sigh* Oh, how I wish real life could imitate the arts sometimes... Anyway, no question, the chick can dance, and if we're going on technique, the mirror ball should sit atop her mantle...
Mr. Massey, however, I can't help but freaking love! He's adorable, he's funny, and he looks like he's having so much fun! I mean, I can actually feel his joy, and the fact that I'm clapping from the couch after he's done, makes me know he deserves to win just as much as the girl with the perfect moves. Personally, I'd like to think that this is how America would fall in love with me during my spin on the DWTS hardwoods, through my weekly improvement and sheer love of the dance, but that's just a dream so far. Kyle, you have my vote all the way...fingers and toes crossed!
And, the girl behind all the talk. Who would have thought a young lady from Alaska trying her hand, well, foot at a dancing on a TV show could cause so much commotion? We all know it's her controversial mother, who I've been pretty vocal at not being a fan of. But, at the end of the day, it's Bristol Palin, not her mother, and she's just following an opportunity that any one of us would jump at if it was handed to us, famous mother or not. Give the girl a break, do not shoot your televisions, and get a grip. It's a dancing TV show, she's having fun (despite her sometimes pained expression) and there's no doubt she's worked hard to earn her spot in the finals. I don't even mind Sarah Palin cheering her on. Every mom wants to support her kid, and I can picture my mother doing the exact same thing. That being said, I sort of don't want her to win...is that mean?
Okay, those are my thoughts. I'm rooting for Kyle, but I think Jennifer will take it and give Bristol a break already. If she does win, I think her mom's Tea Party lovers will have had something to do with it, but then the Massey and Grey lovers didn't vote enough. Find something else to complain about. And DWTS, seriously, I'm anxiously awaiting your call. Season 12??
