OK, so every season of Dancing With the Stars, I always pick a winner before the season begins. I started this because my mom’s a huge fan of the show and is always watching it and telling me how the contestants are doing. I started making picks on Season 4…and I’m 4 for 6. The 2 seasons I was wrong, my picks came in 2nd and 3rd respectively. So I’ve got a pretty good track record. This season, however, it’s going to be tough to make a pick.
I’m not going through the whole list of contestants but the two I’ve narrowed it down to are Nicole Sherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls and Evan Lysacek, who won the Gold medal in Figure Skating in Vancouver. We’ve all seen how well an Olympian can do with Kristi Yamaguchi and Shawn Johnson both winning their seasons. But Nicole, obviously, has an extensive dancing background, so it’s gonna be hard to choose. I’ll make my pick before the season premiere on March 22nd.
I always make three picks. First, I pick the person to win it all. Second, I pick a contestant of the opposite sex to go the farthest. For example, if I picked Nicole to win, then Evan would be my pick of the men to go the farthest. Then I have my “sentimental” pick…the person I want to win, but I know won’t. Wayne Newton and Warren Sapp have both been sentimental picks. My sentimental pick this season is Chad Ochocinco. I don’t care for the guy but I think he’s going to be highly entertaining.
So, between Nicole and Evan, who do you think will win? Leave a comment and let me know.
And keep in mind…I’ve never seen one full episode of the show. I’ve got a basic understanding of its structure but I can’t say I’ve seen an episode. That’s going to change this year…I’m going to watch them online, mostly so I have talking points for the radio station.
BTW, I hope Kate Gosselin breaks her leg during a live dance.
I completely agree– Evan will win it. He’s used to training and the hard work it will take and he’s used to pressure… although I’m sure this is more like “fun” than it will be for the other contestants.
I’d say the first to go will be either Pam Anderson or Kate Gosselin. Although, I’d love to see Kate pretend to dance Pam will probably be out after the first one on her own acount because she’ll spin herself into submission and poke an eye out with her boobs (maybe not her own eye…).
