Dancing With The Stars: Louie Vito Blogs About His Elimination

November 3, 2009 03:00:09 by Britteny Elrick

In his final blog for People.com, Louie Vito talked about his crushing disappointment over being eliminated last week. He discussed how much he hates losing, what he learned from Dancing With The Stars, and what he plans to do with his sudden excess of free time.

Louie took the competition more seriously than most people probably realized. “I’m not going to lie, I felt like I just lost a huge snowboard contest on Tuesday night. I knew I wouldn’t be the happiest person when we got kicked off the show, but I didn’t realize I would be THAT bummed,” he wrote.

He then touched on how he felt it was worse to lose after a dance-off rather than just being flat out eliminated. “There are a few reasons why I think I took the result show so hard. The first is, I HATE losing. Yes, I had a lot of fun during the course of the show, but regardless of that, I still hate losing … no matter what it is. Also, the fact that it was a head-to-head dance-off made it worse. I nailed that dance at the practice we had in the morning and I ran it solo back stage at least 15 times. I always consider myself a contest person and do well under pressure. In this instance, I didn’t come through and I took that pretty hard.”

“It was weird to wake up Wednesday morning and NOT go to dance practice. I was so used to waking up, eating and then spending the rest of the day rehearsing. Now, I have a lot more time on my hands in between meetings while I’m in LA. The first chance I got, I started skateboarding again, since I pretty much stopped while on the show. I had to be careful not to roll a ankle while I was dancing, but now I can skate without worrying about that,” he continued.

Now the only dance Louie has to worry about learning is for the finale performance and then the focus is completely on getting in shape for the Olympic Trials!

Tonight Ballas and Hough Band along with Rod Stewart perform and two stars will dance for their life in the dance off at 9 PM ET on Dancing With The Stars.
