Tiger's Take on #DWTS (Subtitle: Tiger's Guilty Pleasure)

I think this season of DWTS will be an interesting one to watch. Here are my observations on the cusp of tonight’s first elimination.

• I like this season of pros. I don’t miss Karina Smirnoff at all. I wish Ashley could get a decent star.
• Kate Gosselin is about the worst I’ve seen in a while. Yes, Jon was terribly immature and made some bad, bad decisions, but I wouldn’t have taken Kate to McDonald’s much less marry and have a legion of children.
• Either Buzz needs to blast off or Kate needs to skate.
• I was over the “hero worship” / “respect your elders” thing after the first 3 minutes of Buzz’s segment. He is a great American, but this is shameful and hard to watch. If he and his wife, Lois, had their faces stretched any tighter, Kenny Rogers and Joan Rivers may sue for trademark infringement.
• Evan Lysacek and Nicole Sherzinger are my early favorites. They both have an unfair advantage, in my opinion, but they have been very good early.
• Watch out for Niecy Nash! She has huge likeability factor and broad audience appeal with her wide and varied television/motion picture repertoire.
• Not sure I like the change with Brooke Burke instead of Samantha Harris. Sure, Brooke is easy on the eyes and all, but she is a bit tentative and nervous in the interview.
• Tom Bergeron is worth whatever they are paying him. His quick wit and ability to laugh at himself really comes off well.
• Pam Anderson needs Jesus.
• Chad Ochocinco is one of the worst athletes they have had in recent years. He may have a big upside if they can tame his ego, but don’t hold your breath. The Bengals and the NFL have tried for years to no avail so I don’t think Lynn will have much luck either.
• I like Erin Andrews. She is beautiful, tough, funny and has some raw dancing ability. She could be a dark horse if wives don’t vote her off to get back at their ESPN-salivating husbands.
• As a dancer, Jake the Bachelor is a great pilot.
• I don’t know how Shannon Doherty made it doing anything. I don’t know of anything I ever liked her in... Including DWTS.
• Finally, Aiden needs to bring it down a notch. Not enough people know him to be a jerk and get away with it. You better treat Edyta right or I’m coming!
  

There you have it friends, Tiger’s DWTS Handicap. Meaningless drivel with no eternal value... kind of like recent presidential addresses. Enjoy.
