Is Ian Ziering in Dancing Trouble?

Near the outset of Season 4 of Dancing with the Stars, I thought Cheryl Burke had a good chance of three-peating with partner Ian Ziering. After Week 6, I said Ian Ziering is in trouble. The competition is stepping up their performances while Ian and Cheryl are not. Is Ian in trouble?

Let’s look at some stats from previous seasons of Dancing with the Stars focusing on the progress of partner Cheryl Burke through Week 6 of the competition.

In season 2, Drew Lachey and Cheryl (blue stats line) started strong and kept getting stronger as the weeks progressed. In season 3, Emmitt Smith and Cheryl (red stats line) started good, had a dip, but then had a big resurgence. Currently in season 4, Ian and Cheryl (orange stats line) have been consistent but also have not show the improvements in scores.

Week 7 marks the beginning of two scored dances so if Ian wants to three-peat with Cheryl, he needs to start elevating his performances.
