Dancing with the Stars Season 15: Comparing the Cast to the Polls (from June)
Back in early-June I had a couple of polls up that asked who your favorite male and female stars were…
Since the first week just completed I figured we take a look back and see how many of your favorites are actually in the cast of Season 15…
First off let’s look at the guys:
Well only four of the six male celebrities were some of your favorites from those early polls. Emmitt Smith and Helio Castroneves never even made this Top 12.
Now for the gals:
Interesting, of the seven women that is in the Season 15 cast, two were not in the original polls: Pamela Anderson and Bristol Palin.
What does this mean?
Well I was curious and as thus decided to cross reference with my prediction analysis of who would be eliminated when and I came with a few interesting conclusions. Below is a cross-reference table between the scores prediction post for Week 1 and the elimination predictions:
For some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that a few of these stars are being set up as elimination fodder in the guise of being an “All-Star”. Yeah, I know… TPTB are always trying to set up storylines in an effort to propel others…
Right now, Pamela was the most obvious as elimination fodder…. if the first four eliminations include at least two of the above… if not three… well let’s say I wouldn’t be surprised.
Emmitt & Helio are doing very well in the scores, though, and I dig both of them, I think it is a very nice cast this year.
Bristol, I have to say her going early would be sad too, as she seems to have put away the jitters now and is really going out there and having fun, plus her and Mark are a great duo.
Once again, just fascinating, Marianya! Thanks!!
Jokes on them if Emmit or Helio win again.
My favorites are Kelly, Gilles, Helio, Apolo. they all have incredible talent and are a joy to watch. I
Oh Gawd, say it ain’t so… Bristol to the mid-point, ugh!! That means more Sarah on my TV…
Why there’s 12 guys and 22 girls?
Wow, I love that Melissa is so high up! And I’m pretty surprised about Helio and Emmitt. I thought more people liked them. I can’t really say I’m surprised that Pam and Bristol were not among the favorites. Very interesting, Marianya, thank you.

I’ll bet Maks wishes Mel B would have come back as his partner – he’d at least have a chance to win this All Star season (which arguably will have more status than just winning a regular season)! I’m sure Kirstie will try, but there’s no way she’ll be able to keep up with the men or with the younger women. I enjoyed both Helio and Gilles Monday night. Helio’s dance wasn’t technically great, but he still embodied the dance for me. Gilles dance I really enjoyed. There’s a tough crowd of dancers this season. So long as the judges don’t play favorites with the scores, it should be a tight season with a worthy winner.
