With the new season upon us, I thought I'd bump up this thread with some initial thoughts:
Monica had a great attitude, but was a bit of an ox out there. No surprises that she or Penn were voted out. Adam Carrolla is funny, but he's terrible so I think he's the next to go. Shannon Elizabeth also may not make it far, as skinny model-types tend to do poorly voting-wise. Marissa has quite quick feet and decent footwork, but if she doesn't capitalize on that she's out soon as well.
The class of the competition is clearly Kristi Y and Mario (Mario I could stick in a tall frosted glass and drink with a straw!) but with their previous performance experience, is a bit unfair. Jason Taylor is so far emerging as the finest competitor, in keeping with the spirit of the show.
