Mole 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) From Zap2it.com World Wrestling Entertainment "diva" Stacy Keibler has been installed as the favorite to win ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," at least according to one online bookie. Keibler, a one-time Baltimore Ravens cheerleader whose IMDb bio mentions her dance training, opened at 4/1 odds on the sports-betting site PinnacleSports.com. Season two of the show premieres Thursday (Jan. 5) on ABC. Since the opening lines were set, the leggy Keibler has attracted more than a quarter of the bets on the competition. She's now an even more prohibitive favorite to win the dancing crown at 2/1. Actress Tia Carrere, who had a memorable tango scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie "True Lies," is the No. 2 favorite with odds of 7/1, followed closely by actress Lisa Rinna at 15/2. Well-tanned actor George Hamilton and ex-98 Degrees singer Drew Lachey (brother of Nick) are both 9-to-1 shots to win. ESPN broadcaster Kenny Mayne and NFL legend Jerry Rice are the two longest shots, according to the sports book. The odds for Mayne, known for his super-dry wit on "SportsCenter" and other ESPN shows, stand at 24/1, while Rice, despite attracting the second-highest number of bets, is a 19-to-1 shot. Pinnacle and other online gaming sites have been burned in the past by offering odds on reality shows like "The Amazing Race" and "The Bachelor," as people with knowledge of the pre-taped shows' outcome have bet heavily on specific contestants. That shouldn't be an issue on "Dancing with the Stars," as eliminations, based on audience voting and judges' scores, will happen live each week. Who the hell is going to bet on this nonsense?
