Jennie Garth's Dancing With the Stars Blog (10/9)

OCTOBER 9

Well I don't know about you, but I thought tonight went really well!

I was so proud of myself for going for it and sticking with the character and intensity of that dance all the way through -- even though, you might have seen it, I messed up a couple little things here and there. Glen was right — I had moments where my frame wasn’t what it was supposed to be, but I was proud that I didn’t break out of character even in those moments. So for me, it was a huge accomplishment.

Going into tonight's dance, I was really nervous. I was trying so hard to psych myself out and say I wasn’t nervous at all about falling again. And to be honest with you, this tango is Argentinian and it’s very steppy and technical and if you miss steps, you fall down and I did that numerous times in rehearsal this week. Derek and I would just be dancing along and all of a sudden — bam! — I was on the ground. But I kept thinking, "Okay, I’m not going to dwell on that. I’m going to keep moving forward," but it was something that was definitely in the back of my mind, thinking, "Please don’t let me fall!”

And then after we finished, the standing ovation from Carrie Ann was so awesome! I know they are over there rooting for me, sitting and hoping and praying that I do well. I feel that support from them and I was like, "Did I do well?" And then, she gave me a standing ovation. I was so excited—even Glen was nice. He called me a tangy pickle... or something like that! I think that means he liked it?

As for what happens Tuesday night? I hope I get to stay, but you never know. Scores are only half of it.

Catch up with you all tonight after the results!
