[QUOTE]Originally posted by Erbo: [QB] [b]ERBO'S DWTS SEASON LUCKY 13 WEEK 8 [i]POWER RANKINGS!!![/i][/b] This week, I’m listing the couples in rank order. [b]1.[/b] [i](tie)[/i] [b]J.R. and Karina[/b] (average 26.1, trending mildly upward) - J.R., ex-infantry that he is, has stormed this competition as if it were San Juan Hill and he was Teddy Roosevelt. He has natural charisma that his injuries can’t mask, he has excellent stage presence and rapport with the audience, and Karina’s sure hand has built his dance abilities into a winning combination. Finally became first to crack the Perfect Thirty in Week 8, and did it with style, earning a rare Perfect [i]Sixty[/i] for the night. Will be in the finals for certain; 40% likely to take home the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy. [b]1.[/b] [i](tie)[/i] [b]Ricki and Derek[/b] (average 25.7, trending steady but variable) - Has been trading places with J.R. for the lead in this competition ever since Week 1. The former [i]Hairspray[/i] star displays plenty of ability, she has solid fan support, and, of course, she’s dancing with Derek Hough, who’s got three Cheesy Disco Ball Trophies to show that he has what it takes to get a celebrity to victory. Was the first to “break 10’s” in Week 4, and has scored several since, including one in Week 8. A sure thing for the finals; 40% likely to capture the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy and make Derek the uncontested leader in [i]DWTS[/i] victories. [b]3. Rob and Cheryl[/b] (average 23.4, trending steady but variable) - Rob has really evolved as a dancer, and the only reason he’s not contending for second place is that J.R. and Ricki have the top two positions so tightly sewn up between them. He has managed to rise above the reputation of his family name (which, given sister Kim’s recent quickie divorce, is perhaps a bit more tarnished now), and Heaven knows Cheryl’s no slouch, having notched two wins in earlier seasons. 65% likely to make the finals; 10% likely to score the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy. [b]4. Hope and Maks[/b] (average 23.4, trending slightly upward) - Maks’ “kinder, gentler” approach to teaching in Week 8 paid off; they scored a personal-best 27 in the quickstep. It may not make up for their earlier lack of performance, though. Hope has plenty of ability, and Maks wants it bad, but I’m just uncertain they can leapfrog Rob and Cheryl to get to the finals. 35% likely to make the finals; 10% likely to score the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy.
