It really seems to me that there is more talent among the women in this lineup than the men. But maybe that is just because I like women better than men!

For Dancing With The Stars fans who do you think will win? A woman or a man? And just which one? For you non Dancing With The Stars fans tell me your favorite TV show or you can even tell me you favorite movie! My favorite movie is also my favorite book, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
