Ahhhhhhh – I’m so excited! I can’t believe it’s already the finale. But the celebrities – Erin Andrews, Evan Lysacek and Nicole Scherzinger – all look excited, laid back and ready to go.

The celebrities will perform four dances over the next two days in search of the Mirror Ball Trophy. First up is a redemption dance, a dance the judges feel the celebrities could have done better in. Should be interesting!

Erin Andrews, Samba: Erin is basically in a bathing suit, but whatever, she’s got to get votes wherever she can.

It’s O-fficial: We’ll be Dropping July 17

Those being dropped: Ray Turnbull, Samantha Dommermuth, Kelly Carroll, Ray Dommermuth, R.J. Turnbull, Nicole Schulz and Denis Carroll.

As many of you have noticed, I’ve been running a countdown on the right side of this blog, noting the time when me, three of my cousins, one cousin-to-be, my uncle and my dad will be jumping out of “a perfectly good airplane.” Well it never felt so real until today, when I finally made the reservations. Mark your calendars kids, because on Saturday, July 17 at 9 a.m., I will be strapped to a (hopefully hot) tandem skydiver, basically saying, “it’s alright if I die today.”

I’ve never been so scared in my whole frickin’ life. Guys, I’m sorry. But it’s nice to know my family will humor me through mild-to-severe emotional breakdowns.
