Evaluating the line-up for this season of 'Dancing With the Stars'




This doesn't seem fair - Alexis Ren??? Have you seen what she's capable of? (I don't mean modeling in skimpy, barely there bikinis - I mean her physical capabilities.)  She took dance training and her flexibility is top notch, right up there with the pros. And every heterosexual male who likes girls limber and yet curvaceous is going to vote for her with all ten fingers, every night.

Now, there are other potential contenders - gymnasts and football players always seem to do pretty well, and there's one of each, though the gymnast has been out of competition for a long time (Mary Lou Retton). Singer Tinashe probably can do some moves. I've been pulling for Sharna Burgess to win the mirror ball, but I have no idea if her radio personality partner Bobby Bones has any coordination or rhythm. Other than that, it's the usual collection of older stars (John Schneider, Nancy McKeon), younger stars (Milo Manheim, Evanna Lynch), and sundry other personalities.

Ren has all the advantages at the starting gate.

Here's an article with a picture of each pair.

Here are the three articles I've written about Alexis Ren prior to this:




And here's what she's capable of, dance-wise.  That's pretty amazing;  so is she.
