They still can come through on the dance floor. She’s going to be a good dancer, and she’s going to be very popular just because of her name recognition. Weaknesses – Competition. This may be the most difficult season for women in the show’s history, given that you have the two titans in Heather Morris and Simone Biles, and then you have a wildcard in Erika Jayne who also knows some choreography thanks to her music career. It’s going to be a tough season for the men, but we do expect Rashad Jennings to also compete. The thing about Nancy is that there are no discernible weaknesses. Unfortunately, she just has the misfortune of being on one of the toughest editions of the show in ...

Can Nancy Kerrigan Skate To The Finale Of 'dancing With The Stars

... plot in which rival Tonya Harding had her attacked to try and win. That already ticks a lot of positive boxes for DWTS, particularly nostalgia and sympathy. The other good news is that Olympians, particularly ice skaters, do extremely well as their grace, discipline and movement is a huge benefit. Kristi Yamaguchi, Meryl Davis and Apolo Anton Ohno are all past winners, Evan Lysacek finished in second and Charlie White finished in fifth (as did Ohno on the All-Stars season).

When I first read that the venerable entertainer Charo had been cast on "Dancing With the Stars" (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG), I felt certain she had already appeared on the talent contest. My suspicions were only partially correct. She made a guest appearance on the show back in 2010. It's easy to get confused. Charo, a fetching flamenco guitarist and fixture of pop culture ever since she was married to bandleader Xavier Cugat back in 1966, has been appearing on TV since "The Ed Sullivan Show" ruled the airwaves. Her list of guest spots reads like a survey history of cheesy television, stretching from "The Flying Nun" to "Fantasy Island," "The Love Boat" and "Pee-Wee's Playhouse.".

Erika Jayne Worried About Competing Against Simone Biles And Heather Morris

The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hill’ star recently opened up about her expectations and how she plans on wowing the judges and audiences with her short and sassy ensembles.

I’m 45 years old, and you know what? I don’t want to be a 20-year-old again. I want to be where I am today, so I’m going to go out there as a very proud 45-year-old woman and kill it. Let the chips fall where they may.”. Erika also said that as a performer, she knows she won’t get past week one if she already feels defeated. Earlier Dancing With The Stars spoilers indicated that Simone Biles, Nancy Kerrigan and ‘Glee’ alum Heather ...
