Season 6 of Dancing with the Stars started on March 17.
This season we have five actors, three sports people (if you call figure skating a sport!), one comedian, one comedic magician, one singer and a Priscilla Presley. I couldn't categorize her!
This lens' aim is to have some fun with Dancing with the Stars. I'm certainly not qualified to do a weekly in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of each pair, so I thought it would be interesting to do weekly polls on who is going to get kicked off next and who will win in the end.
So please register your vote and check back to see how well Squidoo is doing!
Previous weeks - Season 5
Totally contrary to our poll (we had Marissa leaving), Mario was voted off in week 8. I was impressed with the way he started the competition, but he didn't seem to improve as much as some of the other contestants; plus Len seemed to have a big downer on him. He seems like a nice young man and I'm sure he will do very well for himself - he sure can sing!

Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public's votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byDancing with the Stars is the name of a group of international television series based on the format of the British series Strictly Come Dancing. Not all the international versions share this title. The format is distributed by BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC. Australia was the first country to adapt the BBC show, and versions have also been produced in Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Panama, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine and the USA.
The format has become popular internationally and was the world's most popular television programme across all genres in 2006, reaching the Top 10 in 17 countries.
The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers, who each week compete by performing dances, which are then given scores by a panel of judges. Viewers are given a certain amount of time to place votes on their favorite dancers, either by telephone or (in some of the shows) by the Internet. The couple with the lowest combined score (judges plus viewers) is eliminated and does not go on to the next week. This process continues until there are only two or three couples left, at which point one couple is declared the champion.
