Dancing with the Stars: .... And They're Out

As you've probably heard by now, the new season of Dancing with the Stars is falling apart before it's even begun. Jewel and Nancy O'Dell, felled by various injuries that I can only guess we'll be seeing footage of tomorrow, have withdrawn from the competition. Rumors are swirling that Holly Madison will serve as a replacement for both of them. This concerns me for a few reasons:

1. Two highly successful, strong women have a combined worth of one Playboy bunny? That's some fuzzy math.

2. If Holly does join the cast, she'll have had less than a week to rehearse and is at a serious disadvantage to the point of "why bother?"

3. If Holly joins, who will be her partner? Tooth whitening spokesperson Tony Dovolani or new guy Dmitry Martin? I'm hoping/praying/conducting ritual sacrifices that Dmitry will get to stay, but I doubt it.

So much is up in the air! I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night's show to see how this pans out. And be sure to come back here for the recap!
