Alyssa’s Picks for Season 7

Posted By: admin On: September 22, 2008 Comments: ( 1 )

I will make this short and sweet.

We will see early exits for Jeff, Cloris, Warren and Ted. I chose early exits for these 4 based on stamina alone.

Leaving us in the middle will be our hot babes - Kim and Brooke because they have age on their side and can keep up longer than the above. I also think Rocco’s journey will end in the middle as well - if not sooner.

That leaves us with Cody, Maurice, Susan, Lance, Misty, and Toni. I think Cody could have the same charm as Helio, Apolo, and Drew had which makes the old ladies fall in love with these types of guys. If Cody is as cute as people say he is (I really haven’t looked) then he could have that on his side. Also being partnered with the cutest/most favorite female professional, Julianne Hough, only ups his chances for the finals.

Maurice  - I have to admit - I don’t know this guy very much. All I know is he is an Olympic athlete which leads me to believe that he has that competitive edge. This competitive edge is what drives these people to make it to the end. I don’t see him winning, however, but I see him making it to the semi-finals at least especially with Cheryl Burke as his partner.

 Susan, Susan, Susan. I see her in the same light as a Jane Seymour and Priscilla Presley. She’ll be good at ballroom, but will lack the raunch to be good in latin. This and her fan base will only take her so far. I believe Susan will come in 4th.

Lance Bass paired with newcomer Lacey Schwimmer could possibly go far. Lance already has the moves from his boyband days. I think it will depend on if America likes him (this will be largely in part for how he comes across on screen and his chemistry with Lacey) as well as how people feel about a young newcomer like Lacey. She is a wild girl and I think she is a hoot, but will the old grandma’s that watch the show think she’s a hoot too? I don’t know. Based on pure dancing alone - I see them there towards the end.

M&M aka Misty and Maks are my dark horse couple. I could see her winning it all. She’s super competitive. She takes risks (evident by her outrageous get ups while sitting in the Olympic audiences - clown hair, etc.) and she seems to not really care what people think - plus the big thing - her competitive edge. You don’t become undefeated and 2 time Olympic gold medalists by being laid back about competition. If Maks tames her spunk I could see a first place finish for Ms. May-Treanor if your naste’.

That leaves me with Toni Braxton. All I know is she better have a better finish for her partner Alec Mazo then last place. Poor Alex needs his ego stroked for once. If her heart holds up - she could also vie for the top spot - as she has her groove going on as evident by her R&B singing days. She’s fit, she’s gorgeous as hell and if her attitude came across as likeable on screen - voters could take her far. Do I see her winning - possibly, but I don’t think she will.

So after all that - I’m picking Misty May Treanor to win it all. At least I want her to. From what I’ve seen of her during both Olympic games - I love her personality. I think she is fun and I think she has the competitive edge. I think if Cody or Lance come across as lovable and Grandma’s across America get on board with the love factor, either one could be second place. We’ll see how this all pans out with a 3 night premier starting tonight. Yayyy - I can’t wait!
