Looking at the Top 5 of Dancing with the Stars
Hard to believe it, but Dancing with the Stars is down to its top five contestants. Let’s take a quick preview.
Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Even though the couple continues to dazzle, I said they weren’t going to make the final three. With the surprising exit of Cheetah Girl, Sabrina Bryan, the couple’s place in the top three is safe. They better still have tricks up their sleeves to wow the judges. Getting all those perfect scores sets too high of a standard to maintain for the rest of the competition.
Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough. Last year’s champ is still dancing with Mr. Smiles. With Julianne’s choreography and Helio’s radiant smiles, this pair should join Mel B and Maks in the top three.
Jennie Garth and Derek Hough. The newcomer Hough is hanging in there with his sis and his basket case partner, Jennie Garth. Jennie’s progression on the show is the most interesting with her ups and downs, shaking her confidence. The arc to her story has the most potential and crowd appeal. If this headcase can hold it together, this MILF could actually win the mirror ball trophy.
Cameron Mathison and Edyta Sliwinska. They’re hanging on despite marked improvements. This couple always feels like they’re on their breaking point. I’m feeling they’ll be eliminated next week even though they’re better than Marie and Jonathan. Speaking of which…
Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts. The Osmond PR machine is in overdrive. Yes, I am saddened to hear about the passing of the Elder Osmond, but is it me or does it seem like Donnie and Marie are taking full advantage of this situation? An Osmond reunion on Oprah? Oh please! This extra publicity will give Marie one more week on DWTS, giving Cameron the boot.
