Next up, we had Kelly Monaco and her partner Alec Mazo. Week after week, we’ve seen improvements in Kelly’s performance. I’ve not a personal fan of hers, but I do have to admit this week we saw Kelly’s best performances to date. She is getting stronger as the show progressed, and when it came to choose who went home I felt it was up in the air. All three couples deserved to be there next week based on tonight’s performance.
Lastly, we had Joe McIntyre and his partner Ashly Delgrosso. Joe has definitely been a fan favorite during the last five weeks. In past shows, he has helped Ashly with their dances, but this week he knew he had to take a step back and allow Ashly to teach if the two of them had any hope of staying on til next week. Tonight, the two did extremely, and definitely made a good showing.
After the couples were done with both their performances, it came time to decide which of the two couples stayed on til next week’s grand finale. The couples had all done well, but Joe and Ashly were lagging behind in third place, Kelly and Alec were second, and John and Charlotte were in first place according to judges’s scores.
The decision was revealed quickly, and this week saw the exit of Joe and Ashly from the competition. I had been personally rooting for Joe and his partner since the beginning, but in the end I knew Kelly had done a superb performance this week, so the chance of her staying on didn’t bother me as much as it would have if she had not stepped up her performance. I was sad to see Joe go though.
Next week is anyone’s game. If Kelly again steps up her performance on next week’s show, she will give John a run for his money. Who do you think will win at the end of this competition? Do you agree with who was sent home this week?
Don’t forgot to go and vote on the website here. You can do so through Tuesday!

My dancer wife and I watched again. As Regina has noted, John and Charlotte were SUPERB!!!! That is what ballroom dancing is all about - the grace, the style - they have it all. I certainly hope they are on track to win - they deserve it!
Kelly and Alec - this is where Regina and I part ways. What was with that "I Dream of Jeannie" costume for a foxtrot? It seemed to be a showcase for Kelly's sexy body - but to me, inappropriate for a foxtrot. The judges seemed to be overgenerous with the scores - Kelly, while improving, was still stiff in the upper body and not graceful and flowing at all. She did slightly better in the Paso Doble - again, she is more suited for the Latin dances while John and Charlotte are the classic ballroom dancers.
Joey/Ashly - not much to say now that they received the boot. While I figured they would depart - a part of me was secretly hoping that Kelly would go.
As to who will win? Well, as you can see - I'm rooting for John and Charlotte. As for matching celebrity against celebrity - he is a much better dancer than Kelly. But it has been a lot of fun and I enjoyed the dancing. Every time we watch the show, my wife says, "When are we going to take ballroom dancing lessons again?" However, she knows the answer - as a trained dancer and teacher - she can't help but try to lead!!!!!
