Las Vegas Odds to Win Dancing With The Stars Season 13 And DWTS Homage
Would you believe the people in Vegas are already placing their bets and without even knowing who their partners are yet? Gambling911 is putting Elisabetta, Carson, and Kristin in the top three. More below. It will fun to see how the odds change in the coming weeks and compare it to this one.
Elisabetta Canalis 3/1
Carson Kressley 4/1
Kristin Cavallari 5/1
Chynna Phillips 6/1
Robert Kardashian 15/2
Hope Solo 8/1
David Arquette 10/1
Ron Artest 10/1
J.R. Martinez 12/1
Ricki Lake 15/1
Nancy Grace 18/1
Chaz Bono 20/1
Heidi’s Note: For a little perspective on these odds, take a look at the odds from the same time frame last season. Illuminating.
With that said, here is a little Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Homage to go with this post written by Linde….
It appears I may have started a tradition back in Season 11 with my ditty to the tune of I NEED A NEW DRUG, then last season – with help from Evaine & Zach with our WAX ON WAX OFF roundup. Well, ya’ll know how much we love our traditions down here in the South, so here’s my homage to Season 13:
Monday Monday, Ricki’s thrilled it’s here
Monday Monday, it was all Hope dreamt it would be
And Monday morning, Monday morning couldn’t guarantee
that Monday evening Rob wouldn’t be a dancin’ freakMonday Monday, Chynna’s favorite day
Monday Monday, sometimes Ron’s feet get in his way
Oh Monday morning, Dave gave us no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how could Chaz dance and not be freedEvery other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
you’ll find Elisabetta is dancin’ with styleMonday Monday, JR’s glad he’s here
Monday Monday, it was all that Carson feared it to be
And Monday morning, Monday morning couldn’t really foresee
that Monday evening it’s Nancy’s night, with us on our feetEvery other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
you’ll find that Kristin is dancin’ liveMonday, Monday ….
such a lovely day
That’s interesting that the Vegas odds have Elisabetta, Carson and Kristin as top three right now especially since their pro partners have not been announced yet. One would think the Pros would be factored in with the Celeb. I am seeing this change as the weeks go and competition begins. I am surprised that Elisabetta came out top right now. Nothing against her, but I guess being Geroge Clooney’s ex-girlfriend factored in. I am also surprised that Ricki Lake odds were low.
Meh…. these odds, and $7.50, will get you one of those “mocha-keeha-hooka lattes” at your coffee house of chioce… 😀
These odds probably aren’t too off base. It’s hard to tell this early on.
When you consider that Mark, Derek, Kym and Cheryl are the only pros to win the mirror ball, I don’t think I’d want to put odds on anybody till I knew who these four were paired up with.
Thank you for including last year’s stats. I like to compare numbers. 🙂
Kendra was number one last season at this point. Just sayin’. 🙂
Point well taken, Princess Heidi!
“When you consider that Mark, Derek, Kym and Cheryl are the only pros to win the mirror ball” I agree. Who they are partnered with matters, but for some reason … these four have won. On the other hand, who are the best pros at taking someone as far as they could in such a short time. I think Louis is one of best with “dance-challenged” partners; maybe, also Anna T?
There is a video on you tube of Elisabetta performing and she has some moves — she might surprise people.
I do remember that Kendra was leading on the odds last season until the first show, then it all changed. I am expecting it to change again since it is way too early.
@Sheery, I looked up the video you were talking about on Elisabetta. She does have moves and may be a surprise, but I figured she wouldn’t be half bad. The only thing that is to be seen is fan base and if she connects with the audience. With Nancy, Ricki, David, and Ron having personality, she’s got her work cut out.
I think Chelsea was number one and Kendra was third? Am I mistaken? Stil though lol. I think the top 5 are good guesses I’m surprised to see Riki that low aswell ad Ron. Let’s see em dance 🙂
Oh nvm 😀
Kendra was leading the pre-season Vegas odds last season, but plummeted to 5th place after the first week; and Kirstie, who had been tied for 8th place with Chris, jumped all the way up to 2nd! And in perhaps the most comical shift in odds, Wendy, who was 2nd to last with 12:1 odds before the season began, fell all the way down to 50:1 odds after her first dance. Wow. LOL! Just goes to show how much the first week (or any week, really) can shift the odds.
I’m definitely a bit perplexed at Elisabetta being so high. She may have some moves, but she’s also got a thick accent, a lack of fanbase, and most likely a new pro to deal with – I will be interested to see how these odds change after the couples are announced tomorrow. If I were the betting kind (I’m not lol), I’d go place a bet on Ricki right now – I think they’ve seriously underestimated her & she’ll probably make a climb in the odds in the coming weeks. And possibly David, to some degree – if he can stay focused and not take himself too seriously.
Chynna has been taking ballroom with her husband for very long time. She said so in an interview. She’ll have good dancing skills. Don’t know personality though.
Hope will be like Misty May. athletic and awkward, but she’ll survive. She better…
Yes, Ricki will win this.
I think Chynna said that they had talked about taking ballroom lessons and she wished that they had now… so no ballroom lessons for Chynna. 🙂
I just read a quote from Elisabetta that she’s taking English classes in the mornings and dancing lessons in the afternoon 🙂
Guaranteed week 1 when they show JR’s video package he will become one of the sentimental favorites right from the start. I see his odds going up much higher, and if he has some moves like he claims, he could possible make it very far in this competition.
I wouldnt underestimate Ricki or Davids staying power either.
So true Sandy! I see JR becoming a sentimental fan favorite this season too. If he dances well, I see him staying for a long duration and his odds really improving. I liked him and his back story really tugs at you. I may throw in a vote for him. I agree that I wouldn’t underestimate Ricki or David staying power either.
Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez and David Arquette will be imo, the last ones standing.
Last 3 standing: JR Martinez, Chynna Philips and Ricki Lake.
Vogue – how very sweet of you to post my “homage” – I’m blushing … and smiling.
I, too, am very surprised that the Vegas odds so favor Elisabetta – what do they know we don’t?
Have so enjoyed the interview videos (and cannot wait for the first rehearsal videos) and must say that so far I’m liking everybody. Really!
agreed – if JR has any kind of moves at all, he’ll go far in this; regardless, I doubt he’ll be first to leave the island. In a perfect world, he’d be paired with Anna – IMO 🙂
agreed – even if Elisabetta has moves, she needs to overcome the personality barrier – her press conference was the weakest. Good thing she’s taking American lessons along with the dancing lessons – she will need to connect to the audience. AND she’s with a new pro, even if said Pro is Baby Bro.
agreed – huge mistake to underestimate Ricki Lake. She’s got Jennifer Grey eyes
agreed – huge mistake to underestimate David Arquette. He seems fearless.
I have to laugh at some of these famous Vegas sports bookies and their predictions. Most of them seem to have quite an ego, and pride themselves on having “insider info” in order to help them keep their over/under on each team/athlete/celeb/etc. as accurate as possible. They’re usually pretty spot-on with sports, but with things as alien as DWTS, I’m pretty sure they’re just taking a superficial look at the celebs and making their predictions. I would say your average, devoted DWTS viewer is probably more informed than a lot of these bookies and could make a more accurate spread. But I’m interested to see if these standings get shuffled around now that the pairings have been announced…
According to a poll by ABC.com these are the percentages of votes so far: (total votes: 11.238)

Wow, I’m surprised the Vegas odds have Elisabetta so high. Love your poem, Linde. You are so talented!
Thank you J,appreciate the kind words. But I must give credit to that band from way back when, THE MAMMAS AND THE PAPPAS, who wrote the song Monday, Monday. I merely used that marvelous template changing only a few things to fit our DWTS theme. BTW, 2 members of that band – John and Michelle Phillips – are the parents of Chynna 😉
How neat! You did a great job changing the words to fit in with the current season:)
[…] in rehearsals now, and the Dancing With The Stars Season 13 odds have changed a little from our last report. Elisabetta is still in the top spot, but, Hope Solo has jumped from fourth place to second place. […]
