First of all, Im sorry for the late posting.
My cat had to go to the hospital last night so I didnt get to finish up the blog.
Hes doing well but hes quite aged 19 years old and hes got a large growth in his lungs.
So, we welcome prayers for his health.
Hes a wonderful cat and has been a strong support system in my life.
Hes the onewith me in my PETA ad.
Thank you again for your responses last week.
We had a lot of sick folks this week.
Samantha was under the weather, although looked gorgeous as usual.
This week was an exciting week.
She provedherself with that incredible routine choreographed by Derek Hough.
Once again, the star of this week was Gilles.
You see, performers who dont have substancecannot do routines like that.
This is what made Gilles the starin my opinion.
It was not an easy accomplishment.
Another exciting moment for me was seeing Ty Murray and ChelsiesLindy hop.
This guy is such a wonder to me.
I would put Ty into this category.
In fact, the crowd is there more to witness theride and your ability.
This is a different dynamic than creating aperformance for the audiences enjoyment.
Usually, non-performers donot know how to use their arms very well.
In general, if you look atsociety, a lot of people have terrible posture.
Their upper bodies arelifeless and expressionless.
They never learned how to use that part oftheir body.
(Of course, Bruno is the opposite of what I am talkingabout.)
This is what makeshim so fantastic to watch and has helped enable him to grow by leapsand bounds.
This is also without a doubt because his partner Chelsie isa great teacher.
They have wonderful chemistry together.
Chemistry isnot always sexual.
Congratulations Ty and Chelsie!
Great work this week.How will he do when he gets something like the Samba?
Im not sure howhis hips will work but Im sure hes up for the challenge.
Next weekthere are two dances that he should do well with the Paso Doble andthe Viennese Waltz.
So, I expect that they will do well next week again.
BTW, did you see Jewel in the audience?
I lovethat simple look of an easygoing hairstyle with very glamorous jewelryand a classic black dress.
I hope she ends up doing ourshow next season.
It looks like her foot is slowly healing.
I didntsee her come in with crutches this week.
Im glad there wasntpermanent damage.
Okay on to what you all want to talk about the doubleelimination.
What did you think?
I found it quite sad.
I didnt likelosing two couples.
Especially because the two couples we lost wereobviously very nice people.
Let me tell you that some of the coolest peopleon screen are completely self-absorbed and rude off-screen.
Im sureyou all know this already.
The stage manager Rob also told me after she waseliminated that she was like that at rehearsals as well.
We are notallowed in the building during their rehearsals but I think she shouldbe commended for that.
It is a nice quality to see in a person.
I found her also to be an interestingperson to get to know.
I wish her well on her next adventure.
Now what about the WOZ?
It was his time.
I think had he lasted anylonger, it would have been uncomfortable to watch.
I know he pulls atyour heartstrings.
I would now like to share with you ladies out there something aboutthe dress I was wearing on Monday.
I get questions in my inbox aboutwhat I wear on the show.
Itwill be postedon my websitelater today
Last but not least I thought Tuesdays performances were fantastic!
I loved watching Artem dance.
He was in thenumber that Derek choreographed to Kevin Rudolfs performance.
That number was impactful!
You didnt see that Juliannestop almost fell off during the first pre-tape.
So they had to do itagain.
The performance by Boyz II Men was incredible.
They are sotalented and such crowd-pleasers.
I havent seen such an energeticperformance in a long time.
Hes got sucha sweet face and can move like you wouldnt believe unless you saw itin person.
Well, for now, well just stay focused on this season.
Until next week, thanks for being here and reading.
Sorry I didntanswer a lot of questions, but I will next week.
So,Im a little pooped this week.
Keep sending me your questions and I will answer more next week.
Have a great week.
And thank you for watching our show.
I LOVE THIS SEASON!
Best,Carrie Ann
