Donald and Peta Stand Third on DWTS

This season of "Dancing With the Stars" is coming down to the wire.

To use a football analogy, it's the two-minute warning.

On Monday’s semifinal, Green Bay Packer Donald Driver was close to perfect.  He and partner Peta Murgatroyd are in third place with a 57 out of 60 heading into tonight’s elimination, which will narrow the field to the final three for next week’s finale.

I think he stands an excellent chance of making it to the finals.

The standings after Monday’s two rounds of competition: Maria Menounos, 59; William Levy, 58; Driver, 57; and Katherine Jenkins, 56.

Jenkins, and her partner Mark Ballas look to be the odd couple out right now.  Whoever makes it through, will make up a great final trio.

Donald Driver Hopes to Avoid Double Elimination

As a wide receiver, Donald Driver is used to double-coverage, but double elimination has to scare the crap out of him.

This week, it's going to be a Latin dance again, and then also a dance where Driver will get paired with another dance pro.  Looks like Karina will be doing a routine with No. 80.

Two unlucky couples will be gone after this week, let's hope DD makes the cut.

Donald Driver Hopes This Week's DWTS is an 'Instant Classic'

That would mean this week is Classical Music Week on Dancing With the Stars and it's an important week for the remaining dancers.

Donald Driver and Peta will have their work cut out for them as the other teams are showing improvement.

It's the stretch run, call it the 4th quarter for a football player like DD, so he knows he needs to be mistake-free while raising the bar on their routines.

The man usually does a lot of the leading during Classical Music Week, so Donald needs to be right on the mark.

I think he's getting better and better even though his scores are all over the board.

Donald Driver Dances the Fox Trot

Motown Night was great and so were Donald and Peta.

They danced the always difficult Fox Trot and once again he nailed it.

More positive comments from the judges.

He should be primed and ready for next week.  Results tonight.

'Latin Week' is Next Test For Donald Driver on DWTS

Donald Driver will tackle the Argentine Tango this week as "Dancing With the Stars" brings out Latin Week.

Driver and his partner will dance last this week, which is always good.

The Green Bay Packer wide receiver had his best result last week in Rock Week and he's hoping there is some carry over.

He needs to be sharp with the Argentine Tango and show off his agility and strength while continuing to play up to the audience.

With Packer fans voting in force, he should move on easily this week.
