DWTS finale, Erin shines with emotional freestyle

Since the start of the second season I have not missed an episode of "Dancing with the Stars" and every season my favorite episode is the finale because that is when the celebrities and their partners get to perform a freestyle dance where all previous rules are thrown out the window.

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and her professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy broke away from the traditional in your face freestyle routine, instead performing a contemporary, lyrical dance.

Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya, who have been one of my favorites this season, had a fun freestyle to "Footloose." Although I liked it and it was full of energy there was times when they seemed a bit off.

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and her pro Derek Hough danced an energetic, lift filled dance to "A Little Less Conversation" that would have earned a perfect score if there had not been a stumble with a lift at the very end.

I liked parts of all of the freestyles, but Erin and Maks' was my favorite because it was different and emotional. You could tell Erin was putting all that she had into the dance

Favorite Super Bowl commercial

This was the first year that I sat and watched the whole Super Bowl. It was an awesome game and I was so exited when the Saints won, but being the TV/entertainment junkie that I am I had to take note of the commercials. My favorite commercial of the night was Doritos: Play Nice.
