It's back. Oh yeah

That's right, people! Dancing with the Stars Season 5 premiers in TWENTY-FIVE DAYS!!!!

September 24

So what happens now?
We announce the season's contestants, of course.
Now, I am going to try my hand at guessing
how successful these people will be.

Of course, no one can tell 100% until we see them dance,
But I'm generally a pretty good guesser. :-)
Sooooo, in order of predicted skill,
From Most Likely to
Least Likely:

Season 5

Actor Cameron Mathison and Edyta Sliwinska
Race car driver Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough
Actress Jennie Garth and Derek Hough
Model Albert Reed and Anna Trebunskaya
Model Josie Maran and Alec Mazo
Actress and singer Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas
Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Actress and singer Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts
Actress Jane Seymour and Tony Dovolani
Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather, lightweight boxing champion, and Karina Smirnoff
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and Season 4 runner up Kym Johnson
And lastly, Wayne Newton, "Mr. Las Vegas," and Cheryl Burke

0-0-0-0

I suppose I should also note that this list was also somewhat organized by who I personally like. Which is why Mr. Newton ended up at the bottom.

There you have it. Seven actors, three athletes, and two models. No news people, interestingly enough. As always, I know very few of these people. I've heard of four of them, actually. I will know them soon, though.

As you see, we have twelve couples this season. This is the biggest number yet, twice that of Season 1. Sadly, the expanded number means they will eliminate a couple in Week 1, unlike last year's brilliant idea of waiting till Week 2 to eliminate somebody. Actually, I don't mind so much as long as long as they have three couples in the finale. :-)
