[QUOTE]Originally posted by Erbo: [QB] [b]ERBO'S DWTS SEASON LUCKY 13 WEEK 7 [i]POWER RANKINGS!!![/i][/b] For this week, I have divided the couples in the competition into three groups; they are listed within these groups in roughly descending order. [b][i]THE TOP TIER[/i][/b] - I expect one of these couples to go on to win the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy. [b]Ricki and Derek[/b] (average 25.6, trending steady yet variable) - They regain the lead on the strength of some strong work in Week 6 and 7. Ricki is fighting a rib injury, though, so it remains to be seen if she can hold through the rest of the competition...but Derek managed to pull Jennifer Grey through to a win despite more serious issues, so he’s the one that can manage her if it’s possible at all. Still have not scored a Perfect Thirty; still 50% likely to do so first; she [i]will[/i] make the finals, and is 40% likely to win the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy. [b]J.R. and Karina[/b] (average 25.1, trending steady yet variable) - This competition is rapidly becoming a two-couple dogfight, and J.R. has what it takes to hold on till the end. The guy is so [i]understated,[/i] it’s deceiving; he’s not as much a larger-than-life celebrity as the others, but his personality and skill are keeping him flying high. One good break for him over Ricki, and he could run away with it. Also has yet to score the Perfect Thirty; 50% likely to be the first to do so; pretty much a lock to make the finals, and 40% likely to grab the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy in the end. [b][i]STILL DIGGING[/i][/b] - These couples still have a fighting chance, and are fairly close to the Top Tier themselves. Don’t count ‘em out yet. [b]Rob and Cheryl[/b] (average 22.9, trending steady yet variable) - One Kardashian that doesn’t need a [i]Galor[/i]-class warship to get what he’s after! :D Rob’s ascent from the middle of the pack has been quite a run, and I feel as if he just needs that little push over the cliff, up to 11 (thank you, noted user interface expert Nigel Tufnel), to get into the Top Tier and contend. Knowing Cheryl, she won’t give up on him. 10% chance to grab the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy; probably 60% chance he’ll make the finals alongside Ricki and J.R. [b][i]CLOSE TO THE EDGE[/i][/b] - These couples are probably out before the finals. Sorry if they’re your favorites. [b]Hope and Maks[/b] (average 22.8, trending steady yet variable) - I put them down here mainly on the basis of Maks’ temper (shown to dramatic effect during Week 6), though Hope has a bit more inconsistency in her performance than David does, and the fact that she seems to learn best from people who [i]aren’t Maks,[/i] as shown in Week 7, leaves me thinking, “This will not end well.” Maks better damn well be on his best behavior; if he screws up again, he and Hope will likely suffer the consequences. [b]Nancy and Tristan[/b] (average 21.1, trending steady) - Nancy, while game for the contest and seemingly holding up physically better than most, just hasn’t had the upward break in her scores that would keep her alive in the competition. Hell, at this point, there are two [i]eliminated=[/i] couples (Chynna and Tony, Kristin and Mark) who beat her on average judges’ score. She dodged a bullet in Week 7, but sooner or later, the “squeeze play” will catch her before the finals. [/QB][/QUOTE]
