Jennie Garth Eliminated from Dancing with the Stars


As a kid I loved watching Beverly Hills 90210 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Hills_90210), so I was happy weeks ago when I learned Jennie Garth was starring in Dancing with the Stars. Though I have had a few other favorites this season (including Sabrina & Mark and Mel & Max) I've continued to root for Jennie and was disappointed to see her go. She came so far over the 8 or 9 weeks she competed in Dancing. You could tell that her husband and little girls were so proud of her.

Next week is going to be so interesting to watch. I know they keep saying it, but this truly is a season full of dramatic surprises. Marie Osmond (http://www.marieosmond.com/) has proven herself to be a fierce and likable competitor. Race car driver Helio Castroneves (http://www.heliocastroneves.com.br/index_us_high.htm) and Spice Girl Melanie B (http://www.melaniebrown.com/) have proven time and time again that they are up for the challenge. Each dancer brings something unique to the dance floor. For Marie, it's the entertainment factor. She loves being in the spotlight and has an incredible fan base supporting her each week. Helio has the charm and the smile that connects with the audience. Mel has fun and appears to have an incredible natural talent for dancing.
