How Did Your Early Predictions For DWTS Season 13 Stack Up With The Results?
1.Forecasting the frontrunners. She predicts that J.R. Martinez will walk away with the Mirror Ball trophy this season, with Ricki Lake and Rob Kardashian not far behind.
The above quote was taken from Fitness Magazine from an interview with Anna. She made that winning prediction for Season 13 in October. As you can see she ended up being dead on with it. This got me thinking about our Dancing With The Stars early prediction posts before Season 13 started. Do you remember how you ranked the contestants before they started dancing and were you wrong, right, or close?
Some of you posted your thoughts in Marianya’s Prediction Stat Post while some posted their predictions in Courtney’s Part One and Part Two Preliminary Power Ranking posts. As you can see, Courtney and Marianya were pretty close for how the competition turned out. What’s interesting is Marianya was probably the only one from almost all of us who predicted Rob to do so well….and what’s more Marianya put him as high as 3rd place!
Heidi ended up being amazingly psychic as always when she predicted Kristin to “pull an Audrina” by exiting the competition early in Marianya’s Post. She predicted the same with Chynna. Heidi also predicted J.R. to win in her Part 2 Ringers Post.
Almost all of us chose Rob and Nancy to finish last. The majority felt pretty negative on those two. To our pleasant surprise, we ended up loving them. Rob and Nancy ended up showing other sides to themselves that we didn’t know about and staying in the competition more than many of us forecasted.
Anyway, take a look back at the links above if interested. It’s fun to see how close or far we came from the results and what we (the bloggers and fans) wrote. My early first prediction for the top five were David, JR, Ricki, Elisabetta, and Kristin…and well, we all know how that turned out. LOL!!
Mine was JR, Hope, Chynna, Ricki and David. I was right about the winner! That’s all that matters.
Yep, LOL!!!
well…for me was like this: expected 1st: JR (that was true), hoping 1st but knowing that would be 2nd: Ricki (not really fair that it wasn’t so), 3rd – Chynna (wrong..but judging from her finale dance..i wonder…what would have happen if she didn’t black out…she was good!!). to be fair – i didn’t like Rob because of his last name, but i admit that he was the most improved, but i have to add that CAI was too obvious in her support…not really an objective judging attitude, if you ask me..
I always thought JR would be first. At one point I think I said it would be JR and David, then JR and Ricki, I guess my thoughts on the second and “turd” spot was fluctuating. But I think we all had the feeling that JR and the lovely Karina were going to take it all. Well deserved I might add.
Elara, that’s the way I was too and then Rob ended up showing more class and humbleness versus his sisters. I love it when people prove me wrong. I wonder who will end up doing that next season?
Here’s what I thought:
12. Chaz (METTA) 6 off
11. Nancy (ELISABETA) 7 off
10. Carson (KRISTIN) 3 off
09. Chynna (CHYNNA) RIGHTTT 😀
08. Rob (CARSON) 7 off
07. David (CHAZ) 1 odd
06. Kristin (DAVID) 5 off
05. Jr (NANCY) 5 off
04. Metta (HOPE) 9 off
03. Elisabetta (RICKI) 9 off
02. Ricki (ROB) 1 off
01. Hope (JR) 4 off
PLEASE respond with feedback!! 🙂
LOL Jack….and I thought my list was bad. lollll J/K xx 😉
#Jack – interesting list…i see you put the athletes on top…on my list Elisabetta was going home first…because i saw her dance and i knew she wasn’t dance material… but i have a question…Chynna always seemed to me at least like a ballerina type…i gave her credit from the beginning..why did you thought she was gonna leave so early?
I was way, way off with my guesses. Since most of the time I have no idea who half of the stars are I make two prediction lists; one before the first episode and one after the first episode. The first list I got Carson right and the second list I got Elizabetta right, but that was it! On both lists I had Rob as the first to go, so after about three weeks I knew my lists would all be wrong.
Jack, your list 6th-1st looks a lot like my pre-first episode list, so you’re not the only one thinking that way!
Next season I’m making a complete list like Jack!
The only problem is that I will have to look up many people because I, like Biffette, am routinely not familiar with about half of them.
We will look forward to that, Sasa!!
Jack I love your list. My list was way off as well. I had Chaz leaving at week 1 or 2 followed closely by Nancy… LOL I was way off the mark as well. The only celebrity that I had correct was JR. I knew he would make it to the end. 🙂
I predicted JR and Ricki from the beginning. I knew that Chaz would stay longer than expected because of the controversy. After the first episode, I seriously thought Chyna would be in the finals.

The Tony factor all the way…
1. Not well known
2. Paired with Tony

Sometimes I think he signed on just to make controversy with early exits.
