Even non-Dancing With The Stars fans would have loved this week's result show. It was outstanding with a stunning dance by four couples doing the jitterbug to a 20's style band. Then Jewel singing a soft song while two more couples danced. It was like the old variety shows they had on TV in the fifties. After two weeks and two dances per couples this is how I rank the celebes and their chances to win:
Gilles - The Sex and The City actor is a a very versitle dancer, has a great partner in Cheryl. He is also likeable. 2-1
Shawn Johnson - Gymnists seem to do well with dancing, the youngest contestent in the show's history has a real shot to win it. 4-1
Mellisa Rycoff - This late replacement is having fun. What a way to get over a broken relationship, go on to Dancing With The Stars and improve the chances of Tony to make to the finals. 5-1
Chuck Wiese - my underdog pick to win it. He is overshadowed by the top 3 but has talent and a connection with his real life partner, two time winner Julianne. 7-1
Now the second tier.
L'il Kim - Derek is a good teaher and L'il Kim is the best of the rest and she could improve enough to make it to the final four. 10-1
Lawreence Taylor - this is wear I part ways with the judges. They would have Denise Richard here, I don't. Football players improve on this show. 15-1
David Alan Grier - In my mind better than the Judges give him credit for and he has my favorite professional, Kym Johnson 20-1
Holly Madison - other than Mellisa she has had the least time to prepare so I am cutting her a break because I think she will improve. 30-1
Denise Richards - I don't like here as well as the judges. I think she is kind of stiff when she dances and as tall as she is she doesn't have really good arm extenstion 100-1
Ty Murray - he surprised me the most the second week, he went bad to good in just a week. He is likable and handsome. 120-1
Belinda - Not enough hip action, not enough fan following - no chance to win. She was eliminated to weeks ahead of her time.
The Woz - Apple Co-founder did improve and he enjoys dancing and is a likable sort but his odds to win are probably 10,000,000 to 1. His odds to go home next are 1-1
Jackass Stevie O - the one I liked the least. The one that should have gone home this week. No chance to win. I'm rootting for him to go home this week.
Before closing I just want to mention the sad death of Natasha Richardson, daughter of Vannesa Redgrave and wife of Liam Nesson. The young woman was in her forties. The hurt herself during sking lessons and had a brain injury. The acting world lost another amazing talent. My heart goes out to her family.
May the rest of your week be filled with variety and entertainment!

In general, I'd agree with your comments about the DWTS contestants, though I'd still put Melissa second in the "may win" category. I also like the Jackass guy least.
What a shock about Natasha Richardson! The lesson there is to never discount a head injury. Check for bleeding even if you feel okay immediately after.
Hi Pat
I think Melissa has a great shot at but I'm not sure she has the fan base that Shawn Johnson does. It really could be an interesting season.
I'm just sick about Natasha. Any head injuries get to the hospital now and stay there for a day for observation!

That's one thing I don't like about DWTS. That a prior fanbase can make the difference. But you know how I feel about all of that. The audience shouldn't vote, anyway. Grump, grump.
Hi Pat
I don't really disagree with you about the fan base making a difference because that is why some of the lousy dancers stay on longer than the better ones, however, I have been know to vote!
