Dancing With the Stars Season 8–Snap Judgements (Mar 2)
CASEY– As far as Dmitry goes, I am a huge So You Think You Can Dance fan, yet I don’t even remember him. Oddly enough, I think that’s what a lot of girls who went to high school in the 90’s say about Jewel, so this feels like a good match.
Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas
MYNDI–Clearly, this is Mark’s compensation for having to dance with Kim Kardashian last season. In case Johnson’s name doesn’t spark instant recognition, she was the Silver Medalist in the Beijing Olympics Gymnastics All-Around and is as cute as a button! Since I don’t think she’s even 18 yet, I’m pretty sure she’s the youngest contestant ever, which you can bet will be mentioned several dozen times. She’s also the token female athlete, and I think it’s safe to assume she’ll have more of a Kristi Yamaguchi skill set rather than a Monica Seles one.
