Riding the Bullet Train

10/27/09

Monday night's dances were intense, and there was no stopping the bullet train. Going from the jitterbug, and minutes later, to dancing the mambo was a non-stop cardio-workout.

The dances are becoming more technical, and everyone is pulling out all the stops to get the judges' attention.

After last week, dancing the Argentine tango and scoring a 29, I wanted to do the best I could. But, I also knew that I had to keep expectations at a minimum. I was pleased with last night's score -- 24.

Additionally, the mambo was a fun dance. Dancing in this competition is intimidating; especially, when you've got nine couples sharing the floor.

Despite being a little winded from our 'choo-choo', Kym and I came in fourth.

Tonight, it is up to the voters to push us through to next week. Thanks for your votes and support.

It's double elimination tonight.

    You're still so incredible Donny! I've been a fan since the first time I saw you on The Andy Williams Show and my admiration of you has never faltered. I've watched you grow through the years and your music has forever been at the top of my favorites. Watching you now on DWTS has taken me back to those teen years of excitement. You're a natural performer! Keep up the fantastic work and the excellent attitude. God Bless You for all that you've brought to your fans!

    What a rush! I wish they would have showed more than one view of the mambo tap out... everyone was blocking our view of you and Kym. Looked like you were in front of Debbie and Jeremy, so that must have been fun and helped you keep going! You should be the Energizer Bunny for Halloween!

    We loved your jitterbug Donny and the mambo was excellent! I only wish we could see more close ups of your mambo, as they showed everyone dancing at once, and very hard to see all that was going on! I don't know how the judges came to the conclusions they reached, very difficult unless they used preconceived notions! I voted and voted and voted, I think you should be safe tonight! You hang in there, we will keep voting! Much love, CB

    Hi from Canada Donny! It seemed to us last night the judges are overcompensating for your huge audience reaction (standing ovation!) by being overly critical of you. Maybe the know that your fans are loyal and very supportive and will ALL vote for you!! We did!

    I too think you were underscored. But! I think they don't want to show favoritism. I didn't see what Carrie ann saw. I saw perfection. I am pretty sure you will not be eliminated tonight. I am pretty sure, YOU will be in the finals. So! Please don't worry. WE! are worrying enough for you.

    Donny I loved your Jitterbug dance, such high energy, I think they underscored, but that's just my personal opinion! :) It must have been hard for the judges to pick out contestants from the Mambo, that also looked fun, but we couldn't see much of you and Kym due to camera angles and the fact that there were a lot of dances on the floor! I hope you're still enjoying, I'm still voting! :D

    Good luck for tonight and the rest of it if you go through as I expect you shall! :D

    hugs Marie E. B.
