Westbound Boarder

Despite some less-than-ideal scores after last night’s Cowboy shindig, pro snowboarder and Dancing With the Stars contestant Louie Vito and partner Chelsie Hightower are in the competition for another week.

And why we keep following this story?  We’ll get back to you after this short commercial break

UPDATE: We found a video of Louie’s dance from Week 4 on ABC’s YouTube page (below) – what do you think?

Louie Vito the Olympic Snowboarder from Bellefontaine, Ohio is still gracing us with his presence on Dancing with the Stars’ Week 4. Vito has been paired with dancing professional, Chelsie Hightower, and they have been quite the pair.

Coveted for their chemistry this pair is super hottt. Last night they mastered the country two step and are keeping their fingers crossed to make it to next weeks competition. For Louie and Chelsie at least one thing’s for sure, their adorable smiles and irresistible chemistry.

ABC brings you their dances Monday nights at 8pm and the results on Tuesdays at 9pm PST. So turn it on and vote for Louie!!!

I never thought I’d be blogging about a reality series involving ballroom dancing, celebrities and tights, but, well, Louie’s got my attention this time around.  With the first episode of this season’s “Dancing with the Stars” behind us, pro snowboarder Louie Vito owned it.  In a recent Washington Post article, Louie talks about his experience on the show thus far, and I have to say that last night he performed pretty well (almost as good as his snowboarding… almost).

Check out the video below to catch Louie in action (courtesy of Transworld Snow).  Did you get a chance to watch DWTS last night?  What’d you think?
