The stage is set for the 24th season of Dancing with the Stars.
In this season’s bag of superstars, they threw in a retired professional wrestler, a figure skater, and yes, another gymnast.
It is no surprise that America’s gymnastics darling Simone Biles has decided to try her luck on the dance floor, especially after her bff (best friends forever) and fellow gymnast Laurie Hernandez has taken home the coveted Mirrorball trophy just four months ago.
What are the odds of two gymnasts winning back to back in one of the most popular reality dancing showdown in the U.S.?
Online sportsbook Bodog predicts Biles will be this season’s frontrunner with 4/1 odds of winning the contest. But it goes without saying that this will not be a walk in the park win for her.
Biles will have to face Heather Morris, who is known for playing the role of Brittany S. Pierce in Fox’s musical comedy-drama series Glee. But what many people didn’t know was Morris was Beyonce’s backup dancer. Yes, read it right. She was the backup dance of no-less than the Queen Bey herself.
Bodog is giving Morris a 5/1 odds of snatching the trophy from Biles.
Then we go to the middle of the pack. They are the stars who may or may not reach the finals. Punters predict professional bull rider Bonner Bolton (6/1), Normani Kordei (6/1), Charo (15/2), Erika Jayne (15/2), and Rashad Jennings (10/1) will all duke it out to hopefully reach the final stage and upset the frontrunners.
Other contestants may perhaps start praying and hope for a miracle to happen. Take figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, for example. Yes, she do have the potential to go further in the show but for now she has a 10/1 odds of winning the contest.
Current bachelor Nick Viall may have been successful in seducing 25 women in the reality TV dating show but he will need all the charm to last longer in the contest. Unfortunately for him, punters doesn’t see him doing well on the dance floor with a 12/1 odds and so is Chris Kattan with 16/1 odds.
Then there’s David Ross, who might do well in the contest if he’s in his 30’s. Unfortunately for our Grandpa Rossy, he has the second-worst odds with 16/1 odds.
The only good news for Grandpa Rossy is that he will be able to beat Mr. T, who punters believe to be the first one to get booted out of the show with a 25/1 odds.
