Donnie Osmond–This man is absolute cougar-bait for the core DWTS audience, many of whom probably
have his 45 of “Puppy Love” packed away in the attic, can sing the entirety of The Donny and Marie Show theme and if they’re like me, can even sing “Soldier of Love”. Regardless, the man has been around showbiz for over 40 years and, though he is cheesier than a stuffed crust pizza, he comes off less goofy and desperate than Marie based on the successes on his resume. Unless he comes out with scripted banter, as was the rumor with sis, in which case, the goodwill may dry up quickly. I’m also guessing his performing background will lend itself to ballroom quite nicely and he’ll look good partnering Kym. The man may not be a spring chicken, but he’s eternally youthful looking. And Kym is one of the better choreographers, as long as she doesn’t decide to work his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat into any routines.
