This is a tough thing for me to come out with. I mean, it runs so counter to what some of you might expect from me. But it's true, and I really need to come clean.

You see, I...I...boy this is hard...I love Dancing with the Stars. There. I said it. Oh that's a weight off my chest.

Now that I'm out, I'm going to start live-blogging it. After all it could be worse; I could have confessed to loving "The Bachelor." Follow me:

--When I first saw Ian I thought he was going to win it. Now I think he'll be lucky to make it to the final three. He just can't sell it. His steps are competent and Cheryl makes anyone look good, but it's not happening.

--I'm happy to see Laila make a big comeback. I have a total girl crush on her. My God she's gorgeous, and how cute is her fiance?

--When when when will Clyde get voted off?? He's just too tall to dance with Elena and ends up walking instead of dancing. I can't bear to watch him.

--How cute was John Ratzenberger in his kilt! He's totally off the show, and soon, but I love him.

--Joey Fatone wasn't as good as last week but he sure knows how to sell it. He could win this.

--Heather Mills is a great second-tier dancer. What she can do with that leg is amazing. She won't win, but I'm fully expecting she'll use this show as a springboard to a life in the US, since I hear she's not exactly the most popular person in the UK and most folks here don't know who she is other than as a dancer on "DwtS." And hey, she finally fell. Happy now, "leg" watchers?

--Apolo got a perfect score!! yay!!! He's very lucky in his partner; Julianne is a perfect match for him and I cannot believe what a good dancer he turned out to be. He could win this thing.

--And finally, Billy Ray, bless his heart. He tries so hard, and poor Karina gets so frustrated. I mean, last time she had Mario Lopez and this must be a real challenge for her. Every time Billy Ray dances I'm happy when he does well because it's so obviously hard for him. But it's just not there tonight.

So who's going to get voted off: I'm expecting Clyde, but it might be Ratzie. Billy Ray still has all the Hanna Montana fans. My predictions for the final three are Laila, Apolo and Joey, with Apolo and Joey going to the final two. At that point it's a toss-up.
