Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Rankings (Based on Twitter)
Tonight I was going to do an early ranking of the Dancing with the Stars season 11 cast. As I looked at it the list and looked at the late hour, I decided instead to post the rankings of the Dancing with the Stars season 11 cast based on the number of followers on Twitter that each star has. There were a couple Twitter accounts I couldn’t find, but I think these numbers will be interesting. Plus, we can look back after the show and see which star picked up the most Twitter followers after being on DWTS.
Also, be sure to check out the full list of Dancing with the Stars Twitter accounts. It’s been updated with all the Twitter accounts.
Audrina Patridge – 1,041,446
Brandy Norwood – 714,034
Mike Sorrentino – 186,304
Margaret Cho – 81,421
David Hasselhoff – 48,653
Rick Fox – 39,502
Kurt Warner – 33,023
Kyle Massey – 16,655
Michael Bolton – 2,792
Jennifer Grey – 126
Bristol Palin –
Florence Henderson –
Obviously, there’s a lot of factors that go into number of Twitter followers. For example Jennifer Grey just recently started hers. However, who would have guessed that Audrina Patridge would have over a million Twitter followers. Granted she’s hot, but that’s amazing (or sad depending on your point of view).
Well, this is certainly going to make for an interesting season of DWTS.
I think Mike Sorrentino twitter accont is this, but I’m not sure.

Audrina may have the most followers, but I don’t think her audience overlaps with the dwts audience because at the announcement last night you can tell that when Audrina got called out pretty much no one sounded exited.
Ooh boy…this certainly is going to be an interesting season…and I’m still undecided whether that’s going to be in a good way or a bad way.
I’ve decided not to **officially** rank until after the pairs are announced…because I seriously think that it will all come down to who these celebs are paired with. Just looking at these celebs by themselves, I don’t see any clear ringers for once – although I’m sure some people will start to cry “ringer!” once any of the celebs start to do well. While I don’t see any ringers, I do see some that have a bit of an advantage (I think Florence & Jennifer are going to be sentimental fan favorites), and some with a bit of a disadvantage (I don’t know that a lot of people have heard of Kyle, and Bristol has a political stigma attached to her). Everyone else kinda falls in the middle for me.
Twitter followers? Jennifer started her account like three days ago, plus the audience skews older much like the cast does, and they are less likely to even be on twitter. Also, Mandy is right about audience over lapping with her followers. Lil’ Kim had several million twitter followers as I recall and she finished 4th. Or was it 5th? I stayed up too late. 🙂 Kelly Osbourne is another who had a huge number of followers.
I think Audrina’s following on Twitter is because of The Hills and her personality. If ya’ll have seen The Hills, she’s kind of an air head and kind of dumb.
I think Kyle, Bristol, and Margaret are all at a disadvantage. Kyle is simply not as well known as everyone else on the list. Bristol is well known, but some people dislike her mom so much that they won’t vote for her. And Margaret Cho is also well known, but her politics might push away people on one side of the political aisle.
Thanks Marcela. Not sure why I couldn’t find that. I figured he had to have one.
Princess Heidi,
There’s lots of factors that weigh into Twitter followers. For example, maybe Mike should have all of the Jersey Shore Twitter followers since you can be sure they’ll all be supporting him. Obviously Florence isn’t likely to do it. Also, if Bristol gets her mom to tweet or the like she’ll get a big boost.
I was surprised the Hoff’s numbers are so low. His problem is that his fan base is much more international and they can’t vote as easily.
I wouldnt underestimate Kyle. The fact that he has been a part of two successful disney show will get him the younger votes. Over Im pleased with the most of the cast. Im looking forward to seeing them dance or try to dance. Not to mention how crazy Bruno will get.
First Bruno quote for Audrina Patridge, “You are a lucious little kitten aren’t you. The sex just oozes out of you and I want to lick you.” or something like that;-)
I am thinking that Audrina’s getting Maks. 😉
xx,
He only wants attractive partners. So, you’re probably right;-)
Erin Andrews was on GMA this morning and hinted that Maks was not with Audrina, unless she is bluffing. She pretty much admitted Maks had told her the entire cast but she was sworn to secrecy.
Bristol and Mark Ballas also were interviewed. The rest of the pairings are announced tomorrow.
I think Audrina’s with Tony and Brandy is with Maks. It could be the other way around, but considering Tony and his wife are both following Audrina on Twitter, they must be together. Unless they’re just trying to confuse us.
Elizabeth,
I think you’re right. I forgot that Tony tweeted something that insinuated that he was with Audrina. Forgot about that. So much news going around it’s hard to keep track.
I just noticed that Cheryl is now following both The Situation and Rick Fox on twitter.
I don’t want Maks to be paired with Brandy or Audrina. He will belittle them both. Brandy, is a delicate soul. But, I know she has some spunk and if she talks back to Maks, the viewers will falsely see her as an attitude diva and Audrina, well, Have you seen The Hills? I want Brandy and Audrina to do well and if either one is partnered with Maks, well, I’m just going to have to grit my teeth and get through it. GO BRANDY & AUDRINA!!!
Brandy isn’t that delicate. Did you see her on America’s Got Talent. Although, you’re right that Maks will drive her crazy.
I haven’t watched the Hills. I might have seen some it during commercials of something else a few times. I just looked at the pretty girls and didn’t hear anything being said. I don’t really even know what the show is about.
John, let me just say that I probably actually watched The Hills for one season, but yeah, weren’t those ladies good looking? Lauren and Whitney and Audrina…yeah, fine women!
Nathan,
Let’s just say that if ratings only depended on looks, they’d do amazingly well. Oh wait, that is why they did so well…imho.
