yeah dancing with the stars is one of my favs, and I'm guessing there's no odds yet cuz there is no official anouncement yet. the list i got was from an inside source and once it becomes "official" then perhaps we can find some odds.

still havnt seen anything from a legitimat gambling establishment. But i found this...
"Dancing With the Stars" will be a hodgepodge of boogie-challenged D-listers again. Before the Sept. 24 premiere, they'd better start practicing in front of their "Silence of the Lambs" mirrors. "Scary Spice" is the favorite at 9-5 odds, as determined by me and my personal Vegas handicapper, Ched Whitney. --Doug Elfman
JENNIE GARTH
Appeals to: Viewers who go, "Oh, it's Kelly from '90210.' " (Garth was reared in Arcola, 61910.)
Probably signed up to: Do something useless during a career pause.
Odds of winning: 10-1. Dicey. She gets migraines. One bad headache, and boom.
MARIE OSMOND
Famous for: Being "a little bit country," a lotta bit nuts.
Appeals to: Prudes. She turned down "Grease" for its sex, but "Stars" is OK? What an ode to tasteless morals.
Probably signed up to: Help her sell more dolls on QVC.
Odds of winning: 50-1. Poor. Does she even move her feet on a regular basis?
WAYNE NEWTON
Famous for: Ferris Bueller lip-syncing his "Danke Schoen" during the Von Steuben Parade.
Appeals to: Grannies who see him in concert by the thousands.
Probably signed up to: Remind us he was in "Who's Your Daddy?"
Odds of winning: 99-1. Terrible. He dances like a troll.
MELANIE "SCARY SPICE/MEL B" BROWN
Famous for: Singing bits of Spice Girls' "Wannabe."
Appeals to: Four British bloggers.
Probably signed up to: Outshine scarier-looking Skeletor, a k a Victoria Beckham, and promote the Spice Girls reunion that no one cares about.
Odds of winning: 9-5. Great. She's danced for years.
MARK CUBAN
Famous for: Being the new Mouth of the South and making his Dallas Mavericks win. Also wants to buy the Chicago Cubs.
Appeals to: Sports-crazed dudes whose wives will make them watch.
Probably signed up to: Have fun (he's lively) and smooth his rough Mavs image.
Odds of winning: 30-1. Bad. He's no dancer, though he's very competitive.
JANE SEYMOUR
Famous for: "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman."
Appeals to: People who realize, as in "Wedding Crashers," she's enthusiastically naughty.
Probably signed up to: Avoid making "Dr. Quinn Returns," co-starring Kenny Rogers.
Odds of winning: 5-1. Not bad. She's got brains and body moves.
SABRINA BRYAN
Famous for: Singing and dancing in the girl group, the Cheetah Girls.
Appeals to: Families who watch the Disney Channel.
Probably signed up to: Prove she's bigger than those other Cheetah Girls.
Odds of winning: 2-1. Very good if she can adapt to old-people dancing.
HELIO CASTRONEVES
Famous for: Winning the Indy 500 a few times.
Appeals to: Race fans, forced to watch "Stars" with their wives.
Probably signed up to: Prove how handsome he is, since he's been cast on teevee.
Odds of winning: 20-1. Poor. His legs must get cramped from all that driving, no?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.
Famous for: Being the current WBC welterweight boxing champ.
Appeals to: Viewers who root for clunky musclemen to win dainty twinkle-toes contests.
Probably signed up to: Show off pecs.
Odds of winning: 3-1. Quite good. The Grand Rapids, Mich., native is a pro with the footwork, like any great, girly boxer.
CAMERON MATHISON
Famous for: Playing Ryan on "All My Children."
Appeals to: Soapy women who think he's hot, duh.
Probably signed up to: Take a gig where he's not reading 80 pages of script a day.
Odds of winning: 10-1. Dicey. As a kid, he got leg-damaging Perthes syndrome. He's been OK since. But could dance fever hurt?
ALBERT REED
Famous for: Modeling. Oh, wait, he's not famous!
Appeals to: Women who think he's hot, duh.
Probably signed up to: Take his career to the next level.
Odds of winning: 8-1. Average. As a surfer, he's got balance. But can he rub two thoughts together in his model brain to memorize steps?
JOSIE MARAN
Famous for: Modeling. Again --not famous!
Appeals to: Women who want a hot girl to root against, especially since she doesn't believe in marriage.
Probably signed up to: Do something other than standing still in front of cameras.
Odds of winning: 8-1. Average. She's bendy, since she does yoga, but then so do I.

awesome!
This odds was pretty entertaining. I might actually watch the show now that I know who's the horrible flop.
Uh, probably wait a few shows to fly by & see if mid season there is a dark horse still in the competition.
A few are positioned for the quick cut.
A few are so far advanced in dancing that they're like going to make it to the final 4 people... so it seems.
I'll check in on this as the contest heats up.

yea avery, and whats with the 99/1 for Mr Vegas? He's kinda "connected" ya know? Could end up with some broken kneecaps for knocking that guy! Judge #1: "Wayne! that was terrible! You need to... *cell phone rings*... hello? .... *face turns white* oh ok *hangs up phone*.... Mr Newton i apologize, you were great and your talents on the dancefloor are 2nd to none! got a couple pre-releases for some new fall shows im gona check out and i'll give my reviews right here over the weekend. Any input or questions or opinions or reviews by anyone is welcome here. Just keep in mind to use "i didnt like it cuz..." instead of "it sucks!". K? thanks

goshdarnjeepers, my one shot to check out atleast 3-6 pre-release's and i fall asleep. Had chips and dip and lit up a "hand rolled cig" for experimental enhancements, ya know, and well, stuff was kinda potent, thought i could "take a catnap" while waiting for someone to arrive, but when he arrives they decide to let me sleep. So i'll just have to give you his simple quick 3 star scoring system for a few of the new shows: * check out the pilot episode before TiVo or DVR ** Solid. *** Emmy Nomination
Pushing Daisy's *** Kid Nation *** Big Bang Theory ** Moonlight ** Bionic woman ** Cavemen * Viva Laughlin *talking about Emmy Nomnations...

I saw most of Season premier of Dancing with da Stars, it was fine. Women did just fine.
Bionic Woman was nice show. Critics thought it sucked (today on radio) but for a intro show showing the human relationships & development it was fine -- perhaps a bit too slow at times. Action scene at end was the payoff.
Next episodes of Bionic Women will be what the audience was expecting, action, action, action.
New updated world scenario (I won't spoil it for those who want to go to NBC's website & watch the entire 1st episode -- albeit smaller window/quality than TV), but it's ... not the top TV show but certainly not the worse either.

you were right about Burn Notice, it was just for the summer season, and have to wait until next June before the new season begins. I have all but one of the episodes on my DVR. My roommate PBell from WinterBrood is addicted to Hero's, and it also premeired it's season opener on monday night. It looked pretty good, I would give it 3 stars for entertaining/originalility.

Cavemen Oh goodness, this was NOT the pilot i saw before release. again more cuts were made thining this one down, aparantly there were too many things that were too "politicallly incorect" things. Thats too bad, because that was kinda part of the whole joke! You know how South Park gets alot of laughs with "politically incorect" stuff? alot of that i thought was far worse, and instead Cavemen made it part of the whole joke about certain unacceptance of people that are different and showed us just how silly they can be. Its one of the things that MIGHT of actually made this a popular show. I thought these last minute cuts might of killed this show. If anyone can find the "directors cut" of this pilot PAH-LEEZ let me know! Dont go into watching this show with high expectations. Worth checking out atleast once with an open mind and you'll get a few gigles and get to check out the dandy work by the makeup artists ... i'll keep watching it ... for now.

Christina Applegate’s new show, "Samantha Who" has been renewed, at least 18 more episodes ordered. Great show! I hear that Donald Trump’s new Celebrity Apprentice just started production, and it's not pretty! Nobody gets along, and the challenges are dumb! well... thats what i heard.

just heard theres a great episode coming out on Animal Planet, Orangutan Island, that features a group of Orangutans that are released into the wild. they then set up thier own comunity and i hear its really fascinating stuff. If i remember right, don't they say orangatans genes are 97% similar to humans. animal.discovery.com/tv/orangutan-island/orangutan-island.html
