Who will win the Mirror Ball trophy?

By Kathy Carpenter

Tonight was the finals on this seasons Dancing with the Stars. Who will win it all? Will it be Jennifer Grey and Derrick? Jennifer is the daughter of dancing legend Joel Grey and of course the dancing star from Dirty Dancing, the odds on favorite from the beginning.

. But she has had her trouble throughout the season. I personally think her turnaround came a couple weeks ago when she was in so much pain. I wanted to see her voted off because I thought it was too much for her physically. However, she was not voted out and her dancing took on a whole new demision.

The we have Britol Palen. I thought along with most people she should have gone out long ago. Then she turned it around. With the last two weeks really impressing me. So much so I actually wanted her to stay over Brandy. Tonight the judges were a little down on her. True she isn't the best technically that goes to Jennifer but i think she's America's sweetheart.

And then we have Kyle. He has been entertaining from the beginning. I have enjoyed some of his numbers the most. I say he is the Donny Osmond of the group. Of course Donny has a lot of fans, and I don't know if Kyle has that behind him. But his winning would not surprise me.

Usually I base who I personally want to win on the freestyle. And personally I think I liked Kyle's freestyle the best. But this has been the closest season yet and any of these celebrities could win.

Who did you vote for?

New Season Survivor

I’m back. Had to take some time to move and even though we only moved a mile that’s a major event for us. The actual move took a month and we may have all the boxes in the house emptied by Christmas. We are getting there. Did you catch the new Survivor? I mean that Russell and if you saw the show you know who I’m talking about. (They do have two Russell’s this year.) But this guy has got to be the biggest jerk yet, and they’ve had some doozies. But who picks on there own team from the start, dumping there canteens and burning their socks?

Unfortunately the team will need his strength. Thus America will be forced to endure him for weeks. Great for the show gives people something to talk about.

This week we also saw the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Favorite guy, Donny Osmond of course I’ve been a Donny fan since “Go Away Little Girl.” Favorite gal, Kelly Osburn kind of won my heart. Both of these held there own this week but it’s a long season. I love all that dancing.

Which is a good thing because So You Think you can Dance is coming back with another season, which is in auditions this week but next week we can watch dance four nights a week. Yipee!

Dancing with the Stars Finale

After watching the finale for this year’s Dancing with the Stars Finale I felt strongly this should be my next blog. For those of you who watched you know Brooke won. I personally wanted either Lance or Warren.

My person has not won for seasons. Last Year I did feel like Kristi was good. Much better than Brooke this year. But although they are technically the best, maybe. They are boring. The do nothing for me. I would much rather be entertained by someone like Lance or Warren with a few flaws.
When you are entertained not being a professional dancer you don’t even notice the mistakes because you don’t know what they are you don’t see them. You just say to yourself I really enjoyed that number.

No one I know wanted Brooke to win which brings up the question who voted for her? My mom claims they cheat. The judges manipulate the people with their comments. I say would you vote for or against someone because of what they say? I say give people credit the will vote for who they like best. She also says they don’t really count the votes. I’m pretty sure they do. But who voted for Brooke?

Let me know where you stand on this dis you vote for Brooke or want her to win?
