Marissa will be checking in from now until she wins (YAY!) or is eliminated (BOO!) with exclusive photos and a glimpse into what's going on as she takes on the other celebrities in the ultimate "dance off!"
Marissa says: "OK. So I was in the bottom 2 last week! PLEASE PLEASE VOTE THIS WEEK! I actually do a cool LIFT - Yes! Tony lifts me in the air. I feel like a super hero - it's pretty amazing! I cant believe I made it to the Final 5. I am soooooo happy and have learned so much. Tony is the best teacher ever, and I am having the time of my life!

"Dancing with the Stars" pairs twelve celebrities – six men and six women – with acclaimed dancers, and pits them against each other in attempts to outshine one another. Last season, viewers got a chance to size up the male vs. the female stars, as each gender hit the dance floor on separate nights during the first week of competition. Each week, one couple's fate is determined the following night.

"The final 5 shoot the cover for TV Guide!
We had a blast. I can't wait to see what they use.
