I would have rather seen Gilles or Melissa. I wasn't terribly impressed with Shawn but what can you do? Both Melissa and Gilles will have more options in life as a result. As far as that Mr. Jesse, I think it's time to for him fade away. I liked him on The Bachelorette but since then he's become a nuisance ... Wasn't he trying to get ABC to give him a wedding when he was still engaged to DeAnna? That didn't go over well. Then it was him petitioning to be The Bachelor. Was that a bust? Now it's DWTS? This just doesn't seem like standard protocol. I remember him doing a few moves on the episode where the guys were on Ellen but I'd hardly call that dancing. He looked like farm machinery compared to some of the more fluid guys I've seen try to catch a beat. I see him going home early on if he does get on. The show always needs a Steve O.

Really? She has been doing well these last few weeks but I found myself getting distracted sometimes during her performances. Maybe it's because I haven't really cared for some of the musical choices. I don't know. But I do know that she had restrictions on the amount of time that she could practice, unlike the adults, so winning was a major feat. Good for her. All three were really good. I was rooting for Gilles and Lil Kim from the beginning with Melissa third. Ah well, that was entertaining. But So You Think You Can Dance starts on Thursday and that's my REAL deal. Shawn? Really?
