Monday night was the final dances for the 3 remaining couples and last night was the results show, which lasted like 5 hours and brought back every loser who had been kicked off in the previous weeks. The highlights:
- Celine Dion. Singing live in the studio. Singing "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. While professional ballroom dancers twirled. Then she swept a deep curtsey and wiped away a tear. It was so awesome.
- Some guy from a soap opera danced a bull-fighting dance to the Superman theme while continually losing parts of his shirt. At the end, he just ripped off what remained of it and stood bare-chested with his rippling abs. This set off a cascade of the other male stars taking off their shirts, and there would have been pants removal had they not cut to commercial.
- Marie Osmond didn't win. She bothers me on a number of levels. During the competition, her father died on the morning of one of the show tapings. Then she danced on the celebrity dance show anyway - albeit in a sequined gown that was black. Then this other week she fainted, which shouldn't have been hilarious, but it totally was. Then, for her final dance, she dressed like a life-size doll and tried to peddle the china dolls she sells on QVC.
I don't actually know who won because I only watched about 20 minutes out of the 5 hours. What I did see was reality television genius. Well, not genius, but worth a reasonably good laugh and a head shake.

I'd rather have watched that than A Shot of Love. The roommate that I heart and I banished our deranged daughter to my bedroom so we didn't have to be subjected to that trash.
A Shot of Love is so boring. You should watch I Love New York. It's the craziest show.
I'm a huge fan of some crappy tv, but dancing with the stars? I'm not capable of sitting through the whole hour, so I just get the highlights from Best Week Ever. I love New York? I sit through every second of it and even watch the reruns!
