Dancing With The Stars In High Definition

Whatever this season may bring, I was tired of the dancing, judges, and contestants. I just couldn't stand to watch Chloris Leachman. But then along came Gilles Marini, Lil Kim, Ty Murray, Melissa Rycroft, The Woz, Julianne's boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, Denise Richards, Shawn Johnson, and a few others that really didn't interest me.

Who did I find to be the most interesting? I couldn't wait to see the outstanding dancing of Frenchman Gilles Marini. I discovered Gilles when I saw Sex and the City where he stood out among a cast of talented actors and actresses. Just like in Sex and the City, he proved to be the best entertainment on Dancing with the Stars. Gilles raises the temperature on the dance floor. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said what a lot of female views were thinking - Gilles wife Carole is very lucky.

Denise Richards was a big disappointment, lacking talent as well as personality. The Woz may be a computer genius and he definitely seemed like a great guy, but he just didn't have the moves on the dance floor. While Chuck Wicks put in 110% and stayed on the show week after week. I didn't really like Lil' Kim until I saw her dance so amazingly well. Derek Huff did wonders with his choreography and inspiration. They were a team that showed talent as well as chemistry. How stunning was it then that Lil' Kim was voted off ahead of several less talented dance partners.

The final four, as I write, are Melissa and Tony, Ty and Chelsie, Gilles and Cheryl, Shawn and Mark. Melissa came in shortly before the show when Jewel was injured. She showed immediately that she had ballet training. Ballet really paid off for Melissa. Twice she scored thirty out of thirty from the three judges. But perfect scores don't always mean you won't be voted off. Just like Sabrina Bryan. She received a perfect score in another season and was eliminated early. The celeb dancer who has shown real progress is World Champion rodeo cowboy Ty Murry. His background as a rodeo star did little to prepare him, but more than likely gives him a wide and different fan base for voters. Shawn Johnson's dancing was just as enchanting as her gold medal winning run at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Finally, Gilles Marini simply couldn't do a routine that didn't blow me away. He is definitely my favorite.

Who will win? Another celebrity contestant and their partner gets sent off on the next show. After that the three last dance teams have a final dance-off. You can guarantee where I'll be that night!

Getting your Dancing with the Stars fix in high definition is the greatest way to do it I've found. Recently my son convinced me to ditch my regular TV and make the jump to an HDTV. Oh Man! You may be thinking what I used to think - how can it make that much of a difference in picture and sound quality? Well, I'm here to tell you it really does. Plus, Comcast Cable is outstanding! I just got HD cable for my new HDTV and the rate was very low for adding this new service. While I was at it I added Comcast High Speed Internet and Comcast Digital Voice for a super low triple play bundle rate. My download speeds and television picture are by far the fastest and clearest I have ever experienced with my new broadband service and HD Comcast Cable. As a bonus, they offer digital phone service at flat rate pricing. The phone is very clear and I can call friends and family around the US and never have to pay long distance charges. If you are moving to an area that is covered by Comcast, or it is your local cable provider, I recommend calling them sooner rather than later to order their great services. And if you search on the web you can probably some sites that offer the latest Comcast Cable promotions and savings. The Triple Play Bundle is the best way to go so make sure you consider it. All three digital services for a big discount from Comcast.
