I will do the rest!!!

Patty I had no idea about some of them either :-D  I just read a blog today talking about the computer geek - steve wozniak being on there and saying they predict he will win just b/c all the computer geeks will vote for him.  I doubt it though :-D

This post should help anyone who is just too lazy to look up the stars.  If you want to play, pick 5 of these stars as who you think will do the best and send me a private msg with your choices :)

  1. Lil' Kim - Rapper/Singer dancing with Derek Hough - She was one of the girls in the Lady Marmalade song.  You gotta know who she is!
  2. Steve-O - Does stupid things on Jacka... - Could he be a dark horse?
  3. Nancy O'Dell - coanchor of Access Hollywood - dancing with Tony Dovolani (who the heck is Tony?)
  4. Lawrence Taylor - football player dancing with Edyta Sliwinska - in the past football players either excelled... or they flopped.  What do you think?
  5. Shawn Johnson - Olympic gymnast dancing with Mark Ballas - will her gymnastic experience help her, or hurt her?
  6. Chuck Wicks - country singer dancing with Julianne Hough - Julianne has been known to make it far, but can Chuck keep up?
  7. Gilles Marini - actor on a bunch of shows I don't watch - dancing with Cheryl Burke - Will his French heritage help him along?
  8. Denise Richards - actress and drama queen :-D - dancing with Maksim Chmerkovskiy  - will her upbeat acting personality translate into dance?
  9. Steve Wozniak - co-founder of Apple - dancing with Karina Smirnoff - can this computer geek also dance?
  10. Belinda Carlisle - singer from the Go-Gos - dancing with Jonathan Roberts - (who is Jonathan?)  Will her experience on stage help her in this competition?
  11. David Alan Grier - comedian and actor - dancing with Kym Johnson - will his funny personality make him a hit with the audience?
  12. Ty Murray - husband of Jewel and rodeo athelete - dancing with Chelsie Hightower (who the heck is that?) - will his wives fame propel him to the top?
  13. Jewel - singer - dancing with Dmitry Chaplin - will her injury keep her off the show?

NOTE: If Jewel IS Replaced - I will give everyone a chance to pick the new person.  Anyone who picked Jewel will get a chance to replace their choice.  I'll keep you updated on the news!!

NEW RULE: After the FIRST Episode (before the voting show), everyone is allowed 1 replacement.  After you watch the first episode on March 9 - you are allowed to replace just 1 person but should msg me the replacement right away.

Rule Changes due to Injuries:
- Jewel and Nancy O'Dell are officially OUT. 
- Watch Dancing with the stars on March 9 and send me your top 5 by March 13th!
- That way you all have a chance to watch each person dance once and you get to see who replaces Jewel and Nancy
- After March 13th, no more changes!!!
- They perform again on March 16th
- The first vote off is on March 17th

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Rumor has it that Melissa from the Bachelor will be one of the replacements. I guess we will find out tonight!

Remember - watch tonight, pick out your top 5 stars, and send them to me in order (best to worst) by March 13th

I will do the rest!

I got my top 5 - do you?

If so, send me a private message by March 13th :)

I will only be annoying you for 1 more week :-D  Then I'll have all the players picks in and I'll just contact them.

What a cruddy lineup but I have three I like and two I think will make it up there so I will send you my picks. Luckily, my last ones are not going to be considered because I was wayyyyyyyyyy off with the winner I picked. Yikes.

I agree Patty about the lineup. The last three dancers I picked I'm just not sure about. My top 2 dancers I'm happy with and I think they danced better than I thought they would.

Suzi, I'm sending you my picks before I change my mind again. BTW, you are not annoying ;-D  I appreciate your updates/reminders because I'm so forgetful.

Thanks for sending your picks guys!

If you know anyone else on here that is interested in the show, feel free to send tell them to play :)  All they have to do is send me their top 5 this week!

I saved all our old picks so we can see just how far off we all were in the beginning :D  I had picked the 2 injured stars, and so after last night I only had kept 1 person!  I was definitely surprised at how well/not well everyone did.

The Daily DWTS Reminder!!

You have 2 more days to submit your picks :)  Ok, I'll give you through the weekend too.... but Sunday night is the absolute latest!

I'm really curious to see if anyone will totally bet on someone other than the favorites!  SO far we have a lot of similar picks, but no one has the exact same top 5 yet!

The Dancing With the Stars Fantasy Winners are revealed!!!!!!

After weeks of tabulating scores, I think I got it all correct :) 

Under my original scoring method - Fig2 from a travel site I chat at sometimes is the winner - just barely - because of picking Shawn Johnson to win when most of us didn't.

However, under the second scoring method I came up with a few weeks in...PattyTherre claimed first place because she picked good people in a good order!!!   

Patty - go here to collect your mirror ball trophy :)

And anyone can go to the following link to see the scores!

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pvVQFmQELdVOPjj5o-fLuXA

Thanks for playing and if I do this again next year I think the second scoring method is better... or some variation of that :)

But what the heck happened with Gilles? What an upset! For me that is. lol. I like Shawn but honestly, Gilles ruled the dance floor all season. Less than 1% dividing them. Sigh. That was fun and now, i will go get my mirror ball trophy and send it to poor Gilles.

Edit: OHHH I just saw the trophy. Sorry, Gilles, it's ALL MINE! Thanks Suzi. And DWTS will be on in the fall so gear up. It's just a few months away!

In response to PattyTherre's post from May 19 2009 10:59PM

I agree with you 100%, Patty!  I thinnk Giles should have won.  He was the best overall dancer.  Oh well...on to the next season :)

I know Shawn Johnson was my pick before the season started because I like her, but based on watching the performances, I really thought the winning order would be: Shawn in 3rd, Gilles in 2nd and Melissa in 1st. What a shocker/upset, huh?

2009 VIP

yes it truly was.  I do thnk that Melissa was below her usual great dancing the last few weeks and the audience must have taken judge comments to heart.  But for Gilles not to win at least - I was amazed!  With all the ladies that watch this show, I thought he was a shoe in :)

Then again, teeny boppers know how to vote in large amounts and I'm sure many teeny boppers watched just b/c of Shawn and voted for her a lot.
