‘Dancing with the Stars’: Early read on Season 7 Posted on August 27th
By now, you’ve probably read about the lineup for Season 7 of “Dancing with the Stars,” which kicks off on Sept. 22.
This time around, we’ve got not one, but two Olympic gold medalists — Misty May-Treanor and Maurice Greene — but neither beach volleyball nor track would seem to present as big an advantage as ice skating did for Kristi Yamaguchi, the Season 6 winner. That said, of course, Olympians certainly know how to be disciplined in their training and how to handle adversity. And May-Treanor signaled a willingness to do absolutely anything when she presented her bikini-clad bottom for the president to slap. (He declined.)
In the category of athletes, there’s also Super Bowl champion Warren Sapp. Will he do as well as fellow NFL star Jason Taylor did last season? And what matters more, athleticism or deep experience with the reality genre, as represented in chef Rocco DiSpirito?
