Dancing With the Stars: I predict Ian goes home tonight...

"Dancing With the Stars" is some of the best television right now because the four remaining couples are, while all very different from each other, absolutely top-notch. Last night. Layla Ali and her partner were absolutely flawless and the way she shimmied across the stage to Tom Jones' "She's A Lady," it was enough to make a gay man's heart skip a beat. I LOVE her presence and could watch her dance all day. While Layla got a perfect combined score of 60 for her two dances, so did Joey Fatone and his partner who were simply dazzling. I think Joey brings so much life to the show with his personality, enthusiasm and his willingness to really go for it.
This is why I think Ali and Fatone should be in the finals.

As far as Apolo Anton Ono and his partner, no one would complain if they made the finals and even won the whole doggone thing. I think they are superb. But I give Ali and Fatone the edge on intangibles. This leaves us with Ian Zeiring who has worked just as hard if not harder than anyone this season. He had his best night yet this week and yet, I don't think it will be enough. If he is voted off tonight, I think he still comes out a winner with his profile higher than it has been since the days of "90210" and his body as fit and buff as it was when Steve Sanders was playing beach volleyball with Brandon!

In the end, my heart belongs to Layla.
