Dancing With The Stars Season 14 Las Vegas Odds For The Finals (Might Surprise You?)
The Las Vegas Odds makers at Las Vegas Sports Betting have posted their new odds for the Dancing With The Stars Season 14 Finals. Let’s see how they stack up. Last week they put Maria and Katherine in 3rd place with 3/1 odds…and well, you know who went home. 
With the results of the elimination, they’ve done some switching around again and now put Katherine in the number two spot behind Donald in first. They’ve put William Levy in last place which shocks me some. I would think they’d put Katherine in the last spot? Regardless, what a tight set of odds again something I’ve never witnessed before.
New Las Vegas Odds for this week:
Donald Driver 3/2
Katherine Jenkins 7/4
William Levy 19/10
Last week’s Las Vegas Odds:
Donald Driver 7/4
William Levy 5/2
Maria Menounos 3/1
Katherine Jenkins 3/1
Let’s get my Pure Dancing With Stars Sistah’s thoughts to help us understand the odds makers more and be sure to tell us what you think in the comments section as well.
Courtney: At this point, I have just given up on trying to predict who will win or whether the odds are on-target or not…this season has just kinda left a bad taste in my mouth, with all the funny business that is clearly going on. But all things considered, and using what I’ve seen on Twitter and other places as a barometer, I do think Donald has the best chance of winning – for the simple reason that those who are tired of all the manipulation seem to be tossing their votes to him. As much as the circumstances that have led to it have sucked, it’s actually kind of nice to see such a sense of solidarity amongst fans of the show – I’ve seen fans of pretty much every eliminated team banding together and pledging to vote for Donald, to take a stand against the pimping of the “Royal Couple”. So where does that leave William & Katherine? Can’t say I really care a whole lot – as long as William doesn’t win, I think I’d be ok with Katherine winning…not necessarily HAPPY, but ok. I’m leaning towards Katherine coming in 3rd, and it coming down to William & Donald for the MBT. I’m fulling expecting The Three Stooges to underscore Donald and overscore both William & Katherine in the finals, but in the end I think Donald has the largest chunk of the voting population behind him – and that’s what truly wins the MBT. Remember, the judges did everything in their power to make Chelsea Kane a winner a year ago – and she STILL came in 3rd place. The judges’ pets have fallen in the past; it’s entirely possible that it will happen again 
Heidi: Oy veh. I hope like hell they’re right. But who the hell knows. Courtney is correct, I see a lot of Derek/Maria fans saying they’ll vote Donald. I think some would vote for Katherine, but they’re afraid she doesn’t stand a chance against the two men. You can say that is a bit of a self fulfilling prophesy…but I happen to agree. I think it may be as close as shown up above too. I think back on how positive most were that this was going to be a great season…by the way, this is where I say “I told you so” :- ) …and how we thought the cast was going to be so strong. Well, it really hasn’t turned out that way, if you think about it. That’s all TALK from the judges and the producers, really. Part of that can be laid on having to learn so many dances….but I’ll save that for the Heidi/Courtney/Vogue Season 14 retrospective that will be posted about a week from now or so. 
I will be voting Donald because he is the second one that has shown improvement. Also I believe that PETA deserves the MBT over Mark or Cheryl. They are not worthy of being a three time champ. Only other one that deserves it is Kym.
I will vote for William to go all the way!
Every one of my votes goes to Donald.
@Courtney – I don’t have twitter so that information was nice to hear.
I am voting Donald.
I actually see Donald’s Freestyle being the one dance the judge’s won’t low ball him. But at the same time, I’m expecting Willy Boy to get 3 10s for his Freestyle, Donald 3 9s and Katherine in the middle. The two least known stars up against a football Superbowl champ? It seems pretty tough to beat in my opinion. I seriously hope Donald is the winner. Out of the three of them, he’s the only one that I can deem of “deserving” the MBT.
My votes are going to Donald & Peta. The couple that should have won was just eliminated. TPTBWTHUCA really didn’t think this through. Or maybe Packer nation was too strong for them. Think of the drama of a final with pros that have 7 MBTs among them! How that could have milked that one! Between the pimping of Free Willy and the bitchy remarks from Cheryl, I am with LV and want them 3rd. Besides I that the bitch will choke like she did with Gilles. He was a real hunk that could dance and – Flashdance – seriously!? I think the Drama Queen pulled votes from Maria with her breakdown at the end of her dance. That pouty face got her sympathy votes. So I am determined that the best, classiest and most talented pro ever on DWTS, Derek Hough, will remain the only 3x Champ! I really hope that Maria and Derek will perform a dance on Tuesday night that will blow everyone away and prove who the real Champions are! GO DONALD & PETA!
I plan on voting for Donald this Monday. I like Katherine. I, like others, just don’t think she can beat William. And I don’t want William to win.
I’d love it if William got third like Chelsea did, but I’m not sure that will happen this year.
Liking those odds. I plan to split my votes unless mark comes up w some odd freestlye like he did for bristol.
I just pray that there will be no hip hop fresstyle this time. Unless it comes from Donald then that would be cool to see.
Am I the only one that disagrees with people when they say “the couple that should have won was eliminated?” I mean, Maria was great. Her growth was amazing to watch, but the second I saw the line-up and after Week 1, I told myself “Yeah, she’s making the Sem-Finals, and that’s it.” I think I also saw quite a few people say that as well. Do I think she deserved to be in the Finals after last week? I much rather would want Maria over William. So yes, I think she did deserve to be in the finals. Did I see her winning? No.
I’m a huge Derek fan, Tony, and I never believed she was going to win. I’m more pragmatic than that – I just thank god I got to see Derek every week. His fun dancing and fab chemistry with Maria is a bonus. I would have appreciated ONE pro dance out of the man, but after we got so many last season I figured we were due a dry spell.
Well and, PH, Maria and Derek were quite accident prone, as you and so many others have pointed out. I do agree he is FANTASTIC at what he does, even if he’s not my favorite (I have one exception…Nicole Scherzinger). The poor man needed a break, especially if he hurt his back right before the show on Monday. And I agree with you, I didn’t see Maria winning either. Having said that (as I stated above) I would much rather have Maria in the Finals over Willy Boy.
Oh yeah, Tony – much rather her in the finals than Willy, for sure.
I don’t understand the whole fuss over william sure he’s good looking but the skills are not there. I hope the Vegas Odds are correct as I hate how they look at William’s body and give him a 10 even when he makes an obvious mistake and then Donald gets underscored when IMO he is a better dancer. Katherine is a good technical dancer but I like many haven’t connected with her. I do think with the cheese heads support and other fan support I can see them winning. That being said I can’t wait to see the freestyles because usually the best one wins. regardless of William being the only one to receive a 30. For example take season 9 into account before Donny and Kym’s freestyle Mya and Dmitry had been the only finalist to receive a 30, but they drop the ball during the freestyle.
I don’t undewrstand the comments about Donald having improved. I don”t see any improvment in any of the finalists. In my opinion, they’re all ending up where they started. Mark went out of his way to show support for Derek and Maria all season so I’m showing my appreciation by supporting Katherine. I hope they knock it out of the park with their freestyle Monday night.
Per Donald’s twitter:
“The dances this week are freestyle and the judges pick. They pick Argentine Tango. So it will be crazy”
I loved their Argentine Tango so I am superexcited and I know CAI loved it too!
Am I the only one that doesn’t think its fair that the judges pick for will and cheryl is the cha cha. That is one if his best dances and I am sure the crowd will go wild for it like they did week 1. Though it is diffrent music and choreography, cheryl will make william look like a piece of meat so they can get the votes. Oh well, on the other hand does anyone have a clue on what the katherine’s judge’s pick dance is?
I truly feel those that deserve to be in the finals are in the finals, whether it be judges scores or fan votes that got them there. I love Derek and thought Maria was such a trouper and inspiration, but saw a double standard regarding pros dancing around their celebrity partner.
I don’t read many forums or get too involved and never read anything over at ABC, and prefer just enjoying the show and voting for my favorites, and I prefer not to be jaded by the media hype and gossip shows since it’s all controlled and you see less than what you’d see looking through the wrong side of a peep hole, so I take it as a grain of salt.
I’m a fan of many, inclusive of Derek, Maks, Val, Tristan, Dmitry, Mark, and now William, and I was torn many times when it was time to vote, and I do vote a lot with multiple email accounts, phones etc, and my votes were mixed with most going to Mark in the beginning, but then when I felt someone needed them badly I’d split them up and attempt to do my part in keeping some on longer that I hoped would continue to improve, and there were some sympathy votes mixed in as well.
Then, mostly because of improvement, his back story and appreciation of everything we take for granted, and his huge heart and humility, and to counter those that were voting against Cheryl, I started devoting all of my votes to William. His waltz and foxtrot, the tuxedos and his Nightline interview. He flew in over 20 family members that never get to experience anything like a live show, and I think he is one of the most beautiful people that’s ever graced that stage, and I’m not talking about the packaging.
I’d personally love it if Mark won his third MBT and I want William to win so badly that I’d never begrudge Cheryl a third, for that reason alone, although I don’t like the way she presented her partner or behaved this season, but if Donald and Peta win it, I’d concede that they deserved to win because they got the votes needed to win. I feel that the Final 4 are clearly winners to have made it that far. I enjoyed this season and it saddens me that it’s almost over.
It won’t be long now and we’ll know who the viewers want to win this season. I think Katherine and William have a huge fan base from the show alone, and the voting public is the only fan base that really matters.
Do you have a link, Angela?? And no, doubt very much that any part of Monday night is going to be “fair”.
DOnald has to do Argentine tango again
I thought it would be cha cha cha but this is a pleasant surprise 
The difference is, Joy, nine times out of ten, Derek actually dances WITH his partner. Cheryl (and others before her) seems to focus on using William as a stripper pole and turning him into a piece of meat. I see no double standard – it’s not a black and white issue, it’s a matter of degrees. Everyone does it once in a while, others make it a habit.
For non-tweeters (like me), here’s the link for Cheryl’s tweet about doing the cha-cha.

Thanks, mmc. I haven’t been on twitter all day.

For once I feel bad for him.
Vin – That article just doesn’t add up for me. $20K??? He’s *got* to be making more than that with his DWTS run, not to mention the telenovelas….
Did anything come out of that lawsuit that was against him? It may have been dropped but that could have something to do with it. Just saying.
But its probably just an oversight with his accounting department.
@Sally: I don’t know how much he is getting paid for dwts but I’m guessing its more than that . As for the telenovelas, I read somehere they don’t get paid that much comapred to American soap operas. I saw the article on the wetpaint site and was like “damn not only does he have to deal with all the media stuff but now this”.
You don’t think the above article re foreclosure won’t help with the sympathy vote???? Willy’s people probably begged them to publish it now.
Meggie I am not huge fan of WIlliam’s dancing i don’t think this is a conspiracy that WIlliam begged to post this article. I think it has to do with him being a hot topic right now. Who knows though with Cheryl’s attitude this season i wouldn’t be surprised if she told him to publish it to get the sympathy vote. But anything is possible and we will never know the truth about why it got posted a day before the finals
I’m sure William will be getting endorsements after DWTS ends.
By the way, Donald has his own problems. Rumors are swirling that the Packers will be releasing Donald soon.
I’ve got no idea why it got published now, but it looks like complete B.S. to me..
As for Donald and the Packers, well…. DWTS didn’t do a whole lot for Hines Ward’s NFL career, now did it? 
Unfortunately, 30+ wide receivers are considered something close to ancient in the NFL.
I really doubt William will publish that to get votes. Yeah there are some people that would do that but he doesn’t strike me as that type of person. Maybe that’s just me, cause if I were him I would be doing all I could to prevent that from being published. It must be so embarrassing to have everyone know that about u.
@Linz: I’ve read that it was Gilles who wanted to dance to flashdance and he picked that song.
I enjoy your posts and thoughts, thank you all.
I hope Donald, or William comes in first and Second.
Katherine and her over dramatic reaction on her fall and Mark, I could see he really thought they were done. I do not care for Mark and his dancing , he always looks like he is overdoing his dance like Show and Tell Look at me.
Then when they did not get taken out, she was jumping up down, with a such a so called back injury she sure made a fast recovery, Was it for attentin?
Keep up the wonderful information
Love to Dance, but I do not find todays dancing more a sports action then wonderful smooth dancing. I do not like the jumping, rolling on the floor and naked tops
