Book 64 of 52 -- Nicholas Sparks' The Last Song

This story seemed to take a bit longer to get into, but, when I did, I was hooked and I enjoyed the unfolding.

The beauty of reading a Nicolas Sparks book is that I can read it any time of day.

Dammit.

Survivor on Thanksgiving

The DVR program description is promising me a new episode tonight.

I bet it is just a clip show.....

Yeah... it was.

Book 63 of 52 -- Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol

Not entirely bad, but it was too long formulaic.

I saw this from someone on the web and it describes a typical Dan Brown/Robert Langdon book.

Character A: Have you heard of X?
Character B (usually Langdon): Yes, but I thought that was just a myth.
Character A shows or tells B something.
Character B reacts with shock.
Then, insert scenes of people walking from one place to another, being chased.
Then, insert the sentence "Suddenly everything made sense." At least for the next ten pages.
Repeat.


Funny.

Dancing With the Stars Season 9 FINAL RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone from the season is introduced and the final three enter... cute and fun... but then they go to the recap from teh night before and the video fails... showing us the back of Miss Piggy's head. What a great way to start the night...

They go to commercial and immediately start it over... We learn that tonight... they will all dance at least one more dance to hopefully save themselves!

Whitney Houston starts the night with some singing and she doesn't seem able to move at all. She sounds good though.

It's time to meet the "Loser's Club." Something Jeffrey Ross created... so this is some pretty funny/entertaining video of people who were to be voted off first. We come back to live television and Jeffrey Ross officially inducts Ashley Hamilton into the Loser's Club. This is a funny way to get to Ross' strength of roasting and leads into Ashley dancing with Edyta... and Ross for a funny ending.

Video Montage! -- The first three weeks of the season. Aaron cried... I think every week.

Kathy Ireland and Tony Dovolani dance a final dance...
Macy Gray and Jonathan Roberts dance a final dance...
Debi Mazar and Maksim Chmerkovskiyaweafadsfasdsky dance a final dance...
All three remind us why they were booted early.... *yawn*

Video Montage! -- The effects the flu had on everyone. As Seth and Amy would say... Really?

Tom Delay and Cheryl Burke dance a final dance...

Video Montage! Let's review the fourth and fifth weeks of the competition.
Chuck Liddell and Anna Truyinska dance a final dance...
Mark Dascascos and Lacey Schwimmer dance a final dance...

Video Montage! Adam Carolla gives out advice to each contestant... I think he is funny and it was funny.

Natalie Coughlin and Alec Mazo dance a final dance...

Video Montage! How the Team dances affected the way the competition played out.

Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas dance a final dance...

Video Montage! The judges give us a closer look at the three finalists. We then get some dramatic entries by the finalists ... oh boy... THey will be dancing another dance and ranked... and given points accordingly.

Before they start dancing... here are the scores so far:
Mya & Dmitry Chaplin -- 30 + 30 + 27 = 87
Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson -- 27 + 28 + 30 = 85
Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel -- 26 + 26 + 24 = 76

Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel are up first. We see a recap video of her time on Earth... and I think she is a woman now... *puke*. She dances the Viennese Waltz again and it was good. Everyone is crying.... Especially Louie... Wait a second... Aaron didn't dance!

Mya & Dmitry Chaplin dance second after a fun and sweetly boring video. They dance their Jive again, which was very good. It always is. THe judges fawn over her...

Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson are last... great and sweet video and great Argentine Tango. The judges agree.. Let's rank em already!

First for 30 Points -- Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson
Second for 28 Points --Mya & Dmitry Chaplin
Thrid for 26 Points -- Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel

Final Scores
Mya & Dmitry Chaplin -- 30 + 30 + 27 + 28 = 115
Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson -- 27 + 28 + 30 + 30 = 115
Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel -- 26 + 26 + 24 + 26 = 102

Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower dance a final dance... They dance to Puppy Love sung by Donny Osmond... LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEE!

Grudge Match! It is time for Jerry Rice vs Michael Irvin. They will each dance and the judges will pick a winner. I get a strange feeling that they will... tie. Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova vs Jerry Rice and Anny Treyunska. They dance the Paso Doble side by side and it is to the Monday Night Football theme song. They give it to Michael Irvin. I cringe... and they make up something else to give Jerry... so no one really wins or losers.

Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnov dance a final dance... and they do the Muppets dance again.

Steve Wozniak, Cloris Leachman, Jerry Springer are all interviewed by Miss Piggy. Apparently, they are all going to dance the Mambo against Joanna Krupa... right after a Video Montage of the 8th and 9th weeks. They are all reunited with their original partners and participating in the Mambo Dance Off... each will be eliminated at some point. Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas are booted first. Jerry Springer and Edyta Sliwinski are booted second. Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff are booted third. Derek Hough and Joanna Krupa are the winners.

Whitney Houston sings... again... and... sings badly.

It's time to boot a couple... the third place couple is Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel -- Good... Joanna should have been there.



The bottom two are Mya & Dmitry Chaplin and Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson

Second Place are Mya & Dmitry Chaplin



Your winners for Season 9 are... Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson

Great!

Dancing With the Stars Season 9 Finals

The last night and I have to see the whole season through... even though it has been the most boring season yet.

Three rounds tonight... Individual... a Mega Mix where all three will dance together... and the Free Style!

ROUND ONE -- INDIVIDUAL DANCE

Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel kick off the show and they are watching the video of past dances and talking why they are inthe finals and how much she has matured. They are doing the Argentine Tango and Carrie Ann is here to help them practice. Sarcasm: Uh oh... Kelly has to be a woman... can she do it? Argh... the whining has worked for her all season. Now... the dance starts and dammit.. it is actually pretty damn good. Ozzy busts a move... or shakes violently. One of the two. Len loved it. Bruno liked it but offered criticism. Carrie Ann babbled a bunch. Their scores are 9, 9, 8 for a total of 26.

Mya & Dmitry Chaplin are up to their season narration. I fell asleep until Len came in to help them with their Paso Doble. Harold Wheeler and his cronies... are screwing up Queen's We Will Rock you. UGH!!!!!!!!! It was good. Very good. Bruno loved it. Their scores are 10, 10, 10 for a total of 30.

Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson bring up the rear in the first round. Their video starts right after Tom reminds them that they are lucky to be here. He is funny and Kym barely wears clothes... which almost seems on purpose this season. Bruno gives them tips this time around. They are dancing the Cha Cha Cha. Not the greatest dance, but it was fun. The judges liked it and noticed one mistake. Their scores are 9, 9, 9 for a total of 27.

ROUND TWO -- MEGA MIX CHALLENGE

The dancers will doing three dances all in a row (Vienesse Waltz, Samba, and the Jive) and against each other. They will be ranked in first, second, and third and given points accordingly. The video is cute. They dance it and we are all amazed.... because... they were literally all dancing the same dance next to each other. It is cool and kind of a train wreck... at the same time.

Let's get the rankings.

First for 30 points -- Mya & Dmitry Chaplin
Second for 28 points -- Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson
Third for 26 points -- Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel

FREESTYLE ROUND

Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel will be dancing to I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor... because it represents something... and BAM... here is this week's cry baby reason for people to vote for her... torn cartiledge in her feet. It seems messy and then Louie drops Kelly... and I cheer... seriously... I cheer. The judges speak nicely about her... and this is more proof that she is just not judged the same way. Their scores are 8, 8, 8 for a total of 24.

Mya & Dmitry Chaplin debate what kind of dance they will dance and they choose the Hairspray dance theme. It was very safe. It seemed VERY safe. Carrie Ann thought it wasn't outstanding, but fun. Len agrees as does Bruno. 9, 9, 9, for a total of 27.

Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson are up last and they will try really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hard. It was a Broadway medley and it was a lot of fun. Their scores are 10, 10, 10 for a total of 30.

Scores... Just a reminder!

Mya & Dmitry Chaplin -- 30 + 30 + 27 = 87
Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson -- 27 + 28 + 30 = 85
Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel -- 26 + 26 + 24 = 76

C'mon America... and the Mormons... Vote for Donny!
