I've been spending Tuesday nights with my mom for the past several years, and we have a tendency to get absorbed by whichever reality contest is going on at any given time of the year. First it was American Idol. But now it has turned to ABC's Dancing with the Stars. I think there's an innate desire in all of us to see the underdog have a chance at glory. Its the David vs Goliath story being played out in front of us every week.

As I have been getting sucked into DWTS this year I have observed something very interesting. If you watch the show you know that the talent has been outstanding to the point that half of the stars had a chance to go all the way (with apologies to Jerry Springer, we never thought you were going to go all the way but thanks for the laughs). And this was really the case with the final three: Joey Lawrence, Emmitt Smith and Mario Lopez.

This week Joey was sent home leaving the battle between the judges favorite (Mario) and the "Cinderella Man" (Emmitt). I don't know who's going to win but I am hoping Emmitt takes it all.

Why? Because he represents to me what we are here at Dovetail. Many times we are part of a selection process where we are by all expectations an underdog. We're a small company, not as flashy as some bigger competitors. We're not always as comfortable with a new dance right away, but we come out and do our very best and impress. We work hard. And we surprise people along the way. We can really move across that dance floor when we're asked to perform.

So give us a shot. We'll surprise you too if you'll just ask us to dance

Then after calling us, pick up the phone next Tuesday and vote for Emmitt!
