I'm sure you all know Brooke Burke and Derek Hough won DWTS season 7!

It was so well deserved. Mark and I were thrilled!

Mark and Derek are like brothers: Derek and Julianne moved in with Mark and his family when they were kids in London. I could tell Mark was more nervous than anyone during last night's final eliminations.

Warren and Kym put up a good fight and were extremely close.

The tension in the red room was high last night so to lighten the mood everyone brought their camera to get our last memories of season 7!

This was probably one of the coolest experiences I will encounter. I have made friends for life and I am honored to have been on DWTS!

Last night was the Dancing With The Stars finale and the remaining dancers definitely showed that they are the cream of this season's crop. Everyone performed so well, I was in awe!

Brooke and Derek were perfection. Their Grease freestyle was amazing! Lance and Lacey's hip-hop freestyle was totally cute. And Warren and Kym really went for it, dancing to Tina Turner's "Proud Mary"!

I can honestly say that I really don't know who will ultimately take home the mirrored disco ball tonight — it's going to be such a tough call!

I sat in the audience with Jeff Ross, Maurice Green and Rocco DiSpirito.

Also, I'm dancing the mambo again tonight! (Can you believe it!?) Are you going to watch?

Last night we danced the Rumba! Wow this show is a huge challenge for me! I really thought I did a good job! But the judges thought differently!

I was really trying to break down what I am doing wrong. The fact that I have never performed before in front of anyone—let alone 25 million people—is a huge accomplishment to me when the dance is done because I am so out of my element here, and it feels like such a rush when we are dancing!

This show is teaching me a lot! When talking to Reggie about it, he made a good point, that I have never played a sport where I would win or lose a game, I have never competed against anyone before where I would be judged, and just learning all of this is teaching me more about ME!

Although I am learning choreography and spending hours in the dance studio, I think I am learning so much more about myself than I ever imagined. So at the end of the day, this is such a life changing experience.

To be honest last week, I cried so hard when I got home, just knowing this is SO hard for me and I really am trying—but my inner shyness is making it look like I am just not trying. I think I took it way to seriously and I was a nervous wreck on Wednesday.

This week I am just having more fun with it and haven't really let the judges comments hurt me. I feel that in life when challenges come your way, sometimes God tests you, and wants you to learn, because that is what life is about! I hope the plan he has for me is to stay in a little bit longer, because I don't think I have learned everything there is to learn from Dancing With The Stars yet!

I haven't quiet come out of my shell and I so badly want to! Each dance gets easier for me but I'm not ready to give up on this inner challenge that I'm faced with by a simple dance! I know it seems silly that dancing is this big of an inner struggle but it is and I so badly want to overcome it and have fun with it all at the same time! This show is a blessing and I hope you all are just enjoying this journey with me!

It was great to have my dad's side of the family there to watch and support! My cousins Kourtni and Kara Kardashian came with my cousins Chey and Julie. I definitely felt the love!

My friend Caroline D'Amore also came to support!

Hi Everyone,



I wanted to check in and let you know how I’m feeling this weekend and how things have been going since my last blog.


Mark and I still rehearse every day, for at least 5 hours a day, so I’ve been feeling better and better about my abilities. We’ve put so much into this! So, I’m totally excited for everyone to watch on Monday and Tuesday!

But, Friday we did our first camera blocking, so we rehearsed on the stage for the first time in front of all the cameras, all the producers, some of the other dancers and crew. And for the first time, I feel like we didn’t know what we were doing!

I don’t know if it was because we were on stage for the first time, in front of so many people, or what, but I just felt scared. Mark keeps assuring me it’s normal to mess up the first time on stage rehearsal and feel nervous, but I was really surprised! We know the routines by heart! So we’ll continue to work and work and work …


This weekend, my best friend got married, so I rehearsed with Mark Saturday morning until right after lunch and then I went to get ready for the wedding—I am looking forward to a night off from filming, too! We’ve been filming for third season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians as well, so that has been tough!


Sunday Mark and I will rehearse all day, really working out any final kinks in our routine—I want it to be automatic when I get on the stage, I want to know it so well, so by heart, that I can let go and have fun when I’m out there. I hope my nervousness today on stage was just for today!


Of course, I’m a little nervous—I’ve never done anything like this before! I’ve tried to keep everyone updated every day with my progress and support team on my website right here on www.KimKardashian.com! (I will also update on MySpace as well.
)


UPDATE!! Monday morning is here!! OMG!! Today is the day! I am getting ready to leave—I have to be on set by 7:50am! I am so excited and getting some butterflies in my stomach—so I will have a good breakfast and get to the stage and look forward to seeing Mark! 
 
I hope you all watch and love what we’ve worked so hard for! If you like what you see, please vote for us!!!
 
 


XOXO,


Kim
