I'm so proud of Gilles. How amazing was he Monday night? That was the best cha cha he's ever done - the crowd really got him going and all his nerves melted away. I think we can safely assume that Gilles fans are supporting him 100 percent, and that cha cha just netted him some new fans as well.
This is my seventh season on the show and each premiere night is just as exciting as the previous one. It never gets old for me. I still get nervous each and every show -- nervous for my partner. I just want them to do so well and to get comments that are constructive and not too crushing to their egos. This must be what having children feels like!
It was great to be able to perform towards the beginning of the show, then we were able to sit back and watch everyone else do their routines. How can you not have fallen in love with The Woz and Ty - clearly these two are out of their elements, but they are trying something new and trust me when I say ballroom dance isn't easy. Poor Ty signed up to be able to compete against his wife and now that she's injured, he has to go it alone - trading in his spurs for Cuban heels cannot be the most comfortable thing for him but he did a great job. The Woz - what can you say about The Woz? He's just the kind of guy that really gets out there an enjoys whatever challenges life throws at him - his personality just makes you want to beg him to adopt you! And Melissa and Holly - wow, only a few days rehearsal for those two. Talk about pressure!
I had a really great time on tour this winter and not a single day off between season 7 and this season, but I have to say: I'm so happy to be back.
