~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) is one of my favorite television programs. I "watch" it every Monday night by telephone with my friend, Belle Jo, who lives in Mississippi. We chat during the commercials!
Tonight is the final episode of DWTS, and it will be something worth watching! The remaining three couples are so talented that anyone of them could win the coveted, giant trophy ball. I have noticed that my favorite color
blue shows up in their costumes. For today's
Blue Monday, I'm presenting some pretty
blue costumes, worn by the three finalists.
Here's Derek Hough and Nicole Scherzinger during week 3. Look at those high leaps! They are the favorites to win. Nicole was a dancer before DWTS, so she has an edge.
One of the judges, Bruno Tonioli, said that Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were a "symphony in
blue." Erin has steadily improved each week.
Anna Trebunskaya and Evan Lysacek show beautiful extensions with their long arms and legs. Isn't her
blue gown just lovely? Evan already knows a good bit about the art of movement as he won a gold medal for ice skating.
Do you watch DWTS? Who do you think will win?Happy Blue Monday!Blue Monday Participants1. Kathy

Hello Sally,
ReplyDeleteLast week you invited me to join you on Blue Monday! Here I am! I hope you like what I put together.
You captured terrific moments from DWTS. Unfortunately, this year I was unable to keep up!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Kathy
Hi Sally,,How are you??? got here fast this time..These are some nice entries you have again..
ReplyDeleteBut of course, you are the CEO of Blue Mondays ,,,and Thanks for having us!!!
Hugs Dena
Lot of pretty blue Sally. I haven't been watching the show this season. Enjoy the finale!
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea for Blue Monday. I watched some of the episodes but not all. I missed tonight's as I was watching a country music special.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't been watching it this year. but, I really miss seeing all the outfits!
ReplyDeleteHappy blue Monday!!
Yes, I watch it every week. Sorry to see it end! But I think probably Derek and Nicole will win!
ReplyDeleteLove dancing..with the stars!
ReplyDeletelove the outfits!
have a beautiful BLUE Monday!!
warmest hugs..
Loui♥
Great action pics! They have beautiful outfits....Christine
ReplyDeleteGreat choices Sally. I love the blue costumes.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of Lady D., she loves to wear blue dress/gowns.I love their blue costumes.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sally! Beautiful pictures. I love watching Dancing with the Stars here too and can't wait to see the upcoming tenth season.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday
Sally,
ReplyDeleteI do not watch it, but the pictures you have are beautiful!
Thanks for hosting and have a great week!
blessings
barbara jean
God morning Sally. Wow what gorgeous dresses!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE DWTS. Looking forward to seeing the finale.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!!
Hugs, Ann
Hi Sally! This is my first time linking up with Blue Monday...I look forward to meeting lots of great bloggers!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch DWTS but my aunt does and she keeps us all updated on Facebook! :)
Hope you have a great Monday!
Sarah
I think it's great that you "watch" the show over the phone with your friend. How fun! Technology is great.
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
DWTS has been a realy popular show. The outfits are beautiful. Thanks for hosting this fun meme, Sally.
ReplyDeleteHad my first Blue Monday post. Have a nice day everyone!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show but I talk to so many others who do that I feel as if I do too.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the show, but it looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, dear Sally. I hope I see you this Saturday. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really don't enjoy watching much television, but I have watched DWTS this season because my best friend loves it. However, she won't be on the phone during the show. I am allowed to speak with her when it is over.
My favorite pair is Anna and Evan, but I suspect Derek and Nicole will win. I am really okay with any of the three couples because they are all great.
Hi Sally, Yes, I do watch this show. I love the dancing. Both of the couples you have shown today are two of my faves. I believe that Nicole and Derek will win. They can really dance well together. The top three are all deserving to be in that position. Bill watches this show too. Erin is a gator, so of course, he is hoping she will win. Sometimes my sister calls during a show and we chat for one minute and hang up. Beverly is right. I don't like to watch the show and talk on the phone. smile!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful blue Monday.
Love ya, Jeanne
Oops, all 'three' of the couples are terrific. Great blue costumes.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Me again.
I think Eric Hough and his partner are likely to win! Very exciting and great dancing all around!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom use to love that show. I really have not been able to watch it since her passing.
ReplyDeleteSally, I am looking forward to the finale. I love watching that show.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watch DWTS for a while since I couldn't take the whining from Kate "something" about paparazzi and blaming them for her inability to perform..but I like the show very much!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally!
ReplyDeleteNot a DWTS watcher but I do love dancing! Used to love watching ballroom dancing with Juliet Prowse as the host. Probably where this show got its start. Great pics!
Have a wonderful day!
kat
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWonderful blue costume pics ! I hope your favorite couple wins .
Blessings,
~Myrna
I love that show Sally and the costumes are amazing! Love those blues! Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, the pictures are lovely. Love those gowns. I have never seen this show....don't watch much network television.
ReplyDeleteSome dancers they are. Wow!
Barb ♥
Love DWTS! Hard to decide my fav this time. Happy Blue Monday :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you Sally! you captured some great blue's this week!
ReplyDeleteHelen
lOTS of pretty blues here, Sally.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday..have a wonderful week.
xo bj
Hi Most Blue Smiling One! Oh, I like to watch DWTS, but am not faithful to it, so I'm not up on the couples. These are some pretty blues on their costumes, but sometimes I'm amazed at the barely there costumes on the gals! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie and hope you're doing well,
Shelia ;)
Those blue outfits are dreamy!. I haven't kept up with this years show, but I'll watch the final one. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you. I want Evan to win!!!
ReplyDeleteI usually watch the first hour on Monday (before 24 comes on) and then watch the 2nd night results (at least the end to see who gets kicked off). Love the show. Since this is the last season for 24 I'll be able to watch the entire thing next season!
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes. It is as much fun seeing them as it is the dancing. How wonderful that you get to share it with your friend long distance. How fun is that?
Happy Blue Monday to you and thank you for hosting!

Thanks for hosting! ...Karen

ReplyDeleteI loved your DWTS pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy my mondays!

Neat post, Sally! I don't really watch the show, but I'd definitely vote for Evan. I loved his skating, so his dancing must be wonderful, too. Have a great Blue Monday and a terrific week!
ReplyDeletegreat photos indeed! though I havent heart of that :) thanks for sharing Sally!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, DWTS is always on at our house too. It's fun to watch the dancers evolve as the season progresses. Your blue costumes are just great.
ReplyDeleteLove the gowns the shade of blue is sooo nice!
ReplyDeleteDiane
Hi Sally and thanks for stopping by Pittypat Paperie. Come again sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of Blue Monday. How cute. I look forward to linking up again next week.
Diane
DWTS is one show I enjoy. There aren't many! But as to who will win, I hope Evan, but it could be any of the three.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit!
Hi Sally, I don't watch DWTS but I always read about it the following day. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...MAry
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, I came over to see what you reaction was last night of the dancing. I think the judges were a bit harsh and they want Nicole to win. I knew Len would hate Erin's free style dance. I told Bill he would give them an 8, and he did. I am sorry the show is ending. I enjoy it so much.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day.
Love ya, Jeanne
Oh yes - I love this program too. And my favorite is So you think you can dance - Mia Michaels wow - the But dance - wowo wow wow ...
ReplyDeleteNowerdays I am a fan of dance, ballet and contemporary dance
Sorry I missed Blue Monday this time :)
I just love love love those chickens or birds at the top of this page...what the heck are they anyways? I've never seen anything like them...ok....dancing with the stars...can't speak to my sister when the show is on..she's totally hooked.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally you are right. They should just have given the trophy to Nicole and get it over with. HA! She is a fantastic dancer. There have been a few like her. I knew Brook would win right from the get go too. Now she is the female announcer. She is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you my friend.
Love ya, Jeanne
Sally, thanks so much for your sweet wishes for Mr. Magpie's birthday! He read and loved every single one, and you all made his day complete!
ReplyDeleteLove you and hope you have a very Happy Memorial Day!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Great blue post, Sally. We watch DWTS also and predicted who would be in 1st, 2nd & 3rd place. They all were very good.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Memorial Day weekend.
Hugs,
Charlotte
I don't watch it Sally but my MIL never misses it :) I hope you had a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of DWTS from the moment it first aired! I missed some of the Mon. night shows this season, cuz 24 was on part of the time DWTS was on. It was the last season for 24...and I've loved it, too! I figured the former Pussycat Girl would win, cuz she was a dancer...but the other two were good,too!! I love it that you and a buddy watch it together via phone conversations!!:)
ReplyDeleteRe: your comment about my neighbors and when I'm taking photos for those crazy posts. Usually, I wait until no one is outside (they may be peeking from windows, though!), however, on the day I did the Pig Shoot :) there were folks replacing a street sign at the top of our cul de sac. They did keep an eye out on me as I crawled around on the yard with the pigs and my camera! :) They just thought I was a crazy old gal with nothing better to do....they were right!
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!! L, dana
Hello Sally, thank you for your visit today. I wanted to wish you and your family a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI pre-posted Blue Monday because we are going to Fl. for our grandson's HS graduation. He need lots of support because his mom has passed away and I am sure he will be thinking of her on his graduation day. My daughter is giving him a little party.
We will be home on Wednesday night.
Maybe we can talk on Thursday. I so enjoy chatting with you my friend.
Hugs, Jeanne
Beautiful blue clothing! Happy Memorial Day! Mary
