Tonight, the men got their turn to show what they could do on Dancing With the Stars, and turn they did. I must say the men came out every bit as tough as the women making for a competition for season 5 that should sizzle right to the very end.
1. Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough - Helio Castroneves, race car driver extraordinaire brought that winning edge to the dance floor tonight with partner Julianne. Julianne showed last season that she has what it takes to win and she was teamed with another winner this season in Helio. The pair has amazing chemistry and Helio seemed her perfect compliment as the two tore up the floor. These two should go very far.
2. Mark Cuban and Kym Johnson - Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks has an amazing personality. This guy is a winner. Not only did he slough off a recent full-hip replacement, he brought a style and charm to the dance floor that the crowd ate up with a spoon. His dancing is a bit rough around the edges but he makes up for it with flair. I look for him to be come a fan favorite. It doesn't hurt that partner Kym Johnson is totally gorgeous either.;)
3. Cameron Mathison and Edyta Sliwinska - Cameron Mathison, Soap star from All My Children came out solid tonight and I must say Edyta's amazing hips didn't hurt any.;) He is a tough competitor who wants to win and has a fan following to boot. He will do well.
4. Floyd Mayweather and Karina Smirnoff - Floyd is pound for pound the toughest boxer in the world and is teamed with one of the world's most-gorgeous women. Once Floyd focuses a winning mindset he will do well. He oozes energy and it can't hurt that Karina is the world's best dancer and best looking.;) His low score from the judges might prove his downfall...a lot depends upon the fans. At first he didn't have the best attitude in the world and that may hurt him in the fan voting.
5. Wayne Newton and Cheryl Burke - Wayne Newton is a living legend and perhaps the biggest celebrity ever to participate in DWTS. Cheryl knows how to groom a winner but the question is does Wayne have enough steam for the fast dances? He just might, Wayne Newton is a black belt in Karate and might dig deep and get in game shape...time will tell.
6. Albert Reed and Anna Trebunskaya - Albert Reed is a former surfing champ and is now a top model. He seems to be a real crowdpleaser and his partner Anna Trebunskaya moves with a sensuous grace that is amazing to watch. He will quickly gain the vote of the ladies and might show up at the very end.
All-in-all the men were solid. My guess is that either Josie or Floyd will be sent packing. Josie might pull it out because she is so totally-gorgeous but models usually never last long... Albert might just prove the exception...only time will tell.
Enjoy the show.
