I truly believe you should have made to the finals after demonstrating such skill, maturity and grace during the whole season. You are a true gentleman and a great model for men your age and older. Remember that people watching DwTS often place "sympathy" votes and do not vote based on skills, so do not take to heart that Marissa made it to the semi-finals and you did not. I admire how you handled criticism with great temperament and used it to work harder and improve. I enjoyed your season finale dance-red & white suits you well (and so do the pants)! Good luck to you and continue to shoot for the stars!
