Our second Dancing with the Stars alum! So, I absolutely adore Marlee Matlin. I mean, she is a deaf woman who went on a dancing competition. Not only was she a surprisingly awesome dancer, but not once did she aim for pity or ask to be held to a different standard. The judges critiqued her like they would anybody else. Honestly, the woman is amazing for many reasons, but it was her time on DWTS that really impressed me. It was something that she shouldn’t have been able to do, and no reasonable person would expect her to try. But she did. Marlee made me cry on a regular basis. So of course, she’s way to classy for this show, and I will freak out as soon as somebody makes fun of her. Which they will. (EJ) Meat Loaf —We’ve already seen the previews that show Meat losing his mind and I’ll admit I’m sort of excited. The man is a living legend, but he’s also know for being volatile and emotional. These things can work for or against contestants on this show, depending on the way the wind blows through Trump’s pompadour. I still think he’ll be able to leverage his iconic status and his charisma, both of which tend to outrank business savvy here. (MW)
