Joanna Krupa's Dancing with the Stars Blog, Vol 8

Hi guys,

I won’t lie, I’m pretty bummed about being voted off the show. So sad! Derek and I both had a feeling we’d be the unlucky pair because it’s tough to compete with the professional moves of Mya, and it’s hard to go against big names like Osbourne and Osmond, not to mention the big fan bases they brought to the competition. I guess that’s just the nature of this business; people want more of the big names.


Now I’m rooting for Kelly and Donny because I feel so close to them after this season, but not so much with Mya. I think it would be fantastic if Kelly won! She and I really bonded over being new to dancing and she’s worked so hard each week.

After performing the three dances on Monday’s show I got a second wind and got so pumped for the finals.  I never thought I’d make it this far, so after staying on each week the finals became more and more of a possibility – I wanted it so badly. Though, I’m glad I didn’t completely lose it when Derek and I performed our waltz after finding out we were finished – I was really trying to keep my emotions together.


Overall this show has been a great experience and has opened a lot of doors.  I was so proud when I made it on AOL’s Top TV Moments four times this season! Maybe Derek and I will get to dance again at future events. I don’t know, but that would be wonderful. For now I’m going to figure out my next steps: maybe another reality show or some TV hosting. Any suggestions?

Well, I’m off to NYC to chat with the ladies of The View tomorrow. Tune in next week to see me dance on the season finale! Watch to see where I pop up next, you never know!
