DWTS: Week 8 Picks

Best Score Predictions
With only five stars remaining, the wheat has been separated from the chaff, but the cream has yet to rise to the top. Kristi is still the prohibitive favorite, but Jason is nipping at her heels.

Our predictions for top judge scores are:

Matt: Kristi
Lisa: Kristi
Dawn: Kristi
Kim: Kristi
Carl: Jason
Mom: Marissa
Paul: Kristi



Elimination Predictions

Here are everyone's predictions. Barring a shocker, it doesn't look like anyone is going to be taking home any of these bonus points this week:

Matt: Monica(not eligible)
Lisa: Marlee (not eligible)
Dawn: Priscilla(not eligible)
Kim: Steve (not eligible)
Carl: Kristi
Mom: Adam (not eligible)
Paul: Kristi

With only a couple of weeks remaining, it's time to find out what we're playing for.


First place: LORD OF THE DANCE
The Lord of the Dance is nearly-omniscient when it comes to dancing-related reality television programs. Of all the titles, only the LOTD truly confers bragging rights.

Second Place: BELLE OF THE BALL
The Belle of the Ball possesses a nuanced understanding of dance, celebrity voting blocs, and the inner workings of the mind of head judge Len Goodman. Still, when the chips are down, the BOTB is missing that intangible ability to tap into the Feng Shui of predictions.

Third Place: COCK OF THE WALK
Cocksure and proud of his dancing knowledge, the Cock of the Walk thinks he rules the roost. That confidence serves him well at times, but not listening to that inner voice of doubt can prevent him from climbing to the top of the standings.

Fourth Place: THE BARON OF BALLROOM
The Baron of Ballroom has hedged his bets carefully, and definitely doesn't want to wind up in the bottom half of the pool. But the cautious attitude also means that she has to be satisfied with never being in the top half either. Barely royalty, really.

Fifth Place: THE BEST OF THE REST
The Best of the Rest was never a serious contender for winning the pool. But, at least there are still two other players she can look down her nose at.

Sixth Place: THE JESTER OF GESTURE
The Jester of Gesture tried to apply himself to the study of reality dance shows, but every effort came off as just another joke.

Seventh Place: THE WORST OF ALL
The Worst of All is a pariah, the untouchable dancer who lacks rhythm, style, grace, and even legs. The only hope for TWOA is to get in on the next pool and try to shed the stink.
