Team Melissa lives to cheer another day!

All of us on Team Melissa have a new place to cheer!

Due to a last-minute injury to one of the celebrity contestants on Dancing with the Stars, ABC has filled the gap with...who else...our favorite spurned bachelorette Melissa!

I'm sure this was a HUGE peace offering from ABC (not to mention the fact that they got to show that embarrassing dump reel a few more times) and although I can see how there may be some exploitation involved, I'm just glad we get to see more of Melissa!

She got two days to train and rehearse for the first competition, and she pulled off a gorgeous waltz to "Moon River" that made the most of her ballet training and cheerleader agility, with plenty of perfectly executed developpes, port de bras, and attitude pirouettes. I even cried a little at the end of the dance when she broke into a huge smile and her partner, Tony Dovolani, kissed her on the forehead! Why have I not been watching this show??!!!



I'm sure it'll be nice for her to get some objective critique and fan support from week to week instead of wondering if she's going to get a rose/engagement ring. I hope she makes it past the first round of votes! Go Team Melissa!!!
