Special Award for NOAH

If he and Sharna can increase their choreography so that they continue to improve just as the other couples improve during the course of a season, they might have a chance at making the semis or the final. True, it couldn't be in exactly the same ways the other couples improve, but they could keep pace with the competition by getting better at the things they can do. He's already done lifts that most of the male celebrities would never be able to do, and he and Sharna have a strong and romantic chemistry.

Tonight I agreed with Carrie Ann that their fox trot needed more content. To me, adding content is the key to Noah staying in the competition (I've been giving him some of my votes and did again tonight), so if that doesn't happen and they are eliminated, I still think he could get a lot of the same benefit that other celebrities have gotten from the show. He's doing some modeling (and wowza, some of the print ads he's done are both classy and smokin' hot), so I imagine he could get a lot more work.

I have a feeling Noah could be in the public eye to stay, a mainstream celebrity, which if it happens will have broken new ground for our vets and could turn out to be its own award.
