Week Three of Dancing with the Stars proved that every audience loves a strong comeback, tugs on the heartstrings, and second chances. Jennie Garth transformed from a babbling brook to the toughest, hardest, and boldest women in heels. She was ready to take no prisoners when she hit the floor. Don't cry for me Argentina never saw the light of day. Jane Seymour honored the passion, love, and memory of her mother. Tears were running over before, during, and after her emblazoned performance. And then there was Wayne and his moustache and feather in his hat. Almost a cast off from last week, he pulled put his best foot forward to earn his second chance. Believe it or not, even without my darling Albert. The fever was blazing all over the dance floor this week. This is how it played out:

"Listen to the ground. There is movement all around. There is something going down. And I can feel it. On the waves of the air. There is dancing out there. If it's something we can share. We can steal it."

Mel B (Spice Girl) coupled with Maksim Chmerkovskly - It is a sad day when the glare from your dance partner's chest outshines your dance moves. Mel is turning out to be a great dancer. Bruno applauded Mel for being in such control of her body, he believed that "not letting it all hang out" would be her greatest challenge. Yikes. First she wasn't lady enough now he thinks she can't keep it in her pants. Either way, it was the bouncing bombshell's best dance yet. (SCORE = 27)

I live in Los Angeles. My sister lives in New Hampshire. She watched the Dancing with the Stars Results show three hours before I did. My phone rang two minutes after the show aired on the east coast. She was busting at the seams wanting to share the "shocking news" of who had been cast off the show. Time slowed as I screamed into the phone, "Don't tell me it is Albert!" She said nothing. She said nothing. From what I gathered I am guessing it is Cameron. That would be shocking, wouldn't it? But I know it cannot be Albert. Albert is the sparkling bright shining adorable light that takes the shadow from my days. It cannot be Albert. It will not be Albert. I can feel it in my body. My womanly instincts are never wrong.

Week Two of Dancing with the Stars was everything a true ballroom blitz should be. The dance floor was electrifying, surprising, and riddled with tragedy. Marie Osmond transformed into a smoking, sexy, and captivating dancer. Wayne stomped around the floor like an orangutan in the wild. Jennie slipped, fell, and sobbed like a baby. And Jane Seymour fled the scene due to a sudden death in the family. Needless to say, there was much happening on and off the dance floor. This is how it played out:

The three-night premiere of Dancing with the Stars (Season 5) proved to be a stellar success for ABC. Having never watched this show in the past, I am a stranger to its charm. To be honest, I thought watching this dancing phenomenon would be a bore. Imagined myself fast-forwarding through the dance numbers. Convinced I would have zero interest in these B-list celebrities. I believed that watching men dance would be an utter snooze fest and far from masculine or sexy. Oh, what a fool! What a damn fool.

I am hooked. Sold. Sucked into the storm. And 100 percent in lust over Albert Reed. At this point, I need an intervention. I have resorted back to my teen-aged self. Someone send me a Tiger Beat magazine with a pullout picture of Albert that I can strategically hang on my bedroom wall. Strategically meaning: close to my bed. Did anyone see this hunk dance? I will admit it here. Only once. And will never admit this again. I have watched Albert's gyrating, magical, sensual, hip-thrusting, Elvis Presley-inspired performance 27 times. 27 times. My upstairs neighbor must think I have gone off the deep end, hearing the same Elvis tune, echoing and ringing from my apartment. "A little less conversation, a little more action, please..."
