Pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy Talks Levy, Predicts Driver Victory

Pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars"—who partnered with TV host Sherri Shepherd but was eliminated in the third week—is yakking to ESPN.com that he sees no "clear favorite" on Season 14 as the final four competitors—Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver, cry-baby Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins, generic TV personality Maria Menounos and Sexiest Man Alive William Levy—vie for the title.

"There are so many variables that you have no control over," said Chmerkovskiy, who was in New York on Wednesday for a very important reason: to promote Dr. Scholl's insoles. "You have the fan votes, you even had mood swings of the judges, so it's not so simple to pick a winner."

Chmerkovskiy added, "The one thing I thought was the William Levy craze would die down... but it never did."

However, he said he believes that Driver will be ultimate victor: "With the long history of athletes and he playing for a blue-collar team and from a blue-collar town, I think that attitude could carry him. Donald came in and had the right approach. He wasn't arrogant or cocky. And he has an incredible partner. He is the total package."

Did somebody say package? Oh, please! That would be Will's to own... To be honest, as long as Jenkins doesn't walk away with the crown, I'd rather have Driver in the winner's seat. *

Demographically, I assume that mostly WOMEN watch DWTS. With all due respect for the skills of Donald and a partner that certainly compliments his moves, my vote AND bets go to WILLIAM LEVY. Considering the fact that he has no dance experience, nor athletic attributes (except for that HOT PHYSIQUE), he has come this far, likewise, in a laudable, deserving manner that I can hardly define as "amateurish". William is made and his star is ascendant!!!
