Dancing with the Stars Season 4

Season 4 of Dancing with the Stars continued with the same strong assortment of presenters and judges. Dancing with the Stars now settled into its now-familiar spring and autumn format, where each year provides us with two seasons of competition. The list of celebrities continued to be strong. Even former lightweights like Billy Ray Cyrus and Ian Ziering seemed to enthrall the audience.

Dancing with the Stars Contestants - Season 4

Here's a list of the Dancing with the Stars Season 4 contestants:

Sentiment was with Heather Mills, because she was dancing while missing part of her left leg, which was lost when she was hit by a police motorbike in a 1993 accident. My favorite additions were Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, whom I always assumed would be an excellent dancer (maybe not), and John Ratzenberger, best known for his role as Cliff Claven on the sitcom classic, Cheers. Unfortunately, both were gone quickly in the competition.

Dancing with the Stars Season 4 - Dancing Pairs

And here's a list of the dancing pairs for Dancing with the Stars Season 4:

Joey Fatone and Laila Ali had the advantages known as Kym Johnson and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who always seem to be near the top of the competition. But Fatone and Ali were always at a disadvantage when competing with Apolo Anton Ohno, a champion speedskater who distanced himself from the campaign early and never really looked back.

In my opinion, Olympic athletes have an advantage in a competition like Dancing with the Stars. Here's my theory: Olympic athletes train for four years for a one-night competition. Their whole lives are poured into one single contest, one single moment. To win an Olympic Gold Medal, you have to be a pressure player like no other. That's why Olympic champions like Apolo Anton Ohno and Kristi Yamaguchi dominate so much on Dancing With the Stars (well, that and superior athletic talent).
