Dancing With The Stars 12, Week 5 – Las Vegas Odds Before Showtime
How are the Las Vegas Odds sitting this week before showtime? Take a look below. Take note all of the “ties” this week. They’ve got Hines leading the pack with Chelsea and Ralph tied close behind. Kirstie and Petra are tied as well and close behind Chelsea and Ralph. Once again, it seems it’s anyone’s ballgame. But, it’s getting crunch time as well.
1. Hines Ward 2/1
2. Chelsea Kane 7/2
2. Ralph Macchio 7/2
3. Kirsti Alley 15/2
3. Petra Nemcova 15/2
4. Chris Jericho 10/1
4. Lil’ Romeo 10/1
5. Kendra Wilkinson 18/1

So LV has Kendra at the bottom of the pack too. I guess we aren’t the only ones who don’t like her whining!
Do the Vegas oddsmakers factor in the celebs popularity or do they go off past performance and the judges’ leaderboard? Sorry, I think this has been discussed here before but I can’t find the article. If popularity hasn’t been considered surely Ralph and Kirstie have an edge over Chelsea and Petra. If you eliminate Kendra, not that I’m suggesting we’d want to do that π , it’s still anybody’s game, which is so fun.
The Vegas odds have changed every week in direct correlation to judges scores. I think they combine scores with perceived popularity. I don’t think they are any better at predicting than anyone here is. π
Um, 15/2 is not “close behind” 7/2.
