Marissa Jaret Winokur Eliminated From Dancing With the Stars

There are only three contestants remaining, as perky Marissa Jaret Winokur was finally shown the door last week on Dancing With the Stars. Like everyone who was eliminated before, Winokur bowed out with a graceful attitude. Dance partner Tony Dovolani said of her, “I wish everybody could carry a little Marissa around with them.”

THE FINAL THREE

Jason Taylor - While some folks find his partner, Edyta Sliwinska, to be a bit cold, there’s no denying the charm of Taylor. The NFL defensive end has shown some smooth moves on the dance floor, and he’s undoubtedly one of the best male dancers in the history of the show. If Emmitt Smith could do it, then why not Taylor?

Kristi Yamaguchi - She’s still the favorite to win in the eyes of most people. With her competitive attitude and background as a figure skater, Yamaguchi seems destined to capture this year’s title. But stranger things have happened, and each couple is only one mistake away from elimination.

Cristian de la Fuente - After injuring his bicep muscle a few weeks ago, de la Fuente has basically been forced to perform with only one arm. Partner Cheryl Burke has choreographed their routines with this thought in mind, and the couple has actually seemed to improve in subsequent weeks. Still, you have to wonder how long they can keep it going?

DANCING WITH THE STARS - BODOG ODDS

According to Bodog, the current odds on the competition are:

Cristian de la Fuente 15/1

Jason Taylor 9/4

Kristi Yamaguchi 1/3

And here’s an update on which gender will walk away with the championship:

Male +250

Female -400

Since there are two male contestants remaining and only one woman, this is looking like a nice little betting opportunity.
