The 8th series of this highly rated series was beset by injuries before it even began. Singer Jewel and Access Hollywood hostess Nancy O'Dell both dropped out due to their injuries before the first show and were replaced by Holly Madison, of Playboy's Girls Next Door fame, and Melissa Rycroft, a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who appeared on the most recent season of The Bachelor. Other babes in this new season include Denise Richards and the once-hot Belinda Carlisle, not to mention all of the scorching hot pro dancers. This is probably one of the hottest shows on TV for skin, but it's way below most guy's radar. Definitely worth a look.

Considering the ratings this show generates and what it's done for the careers of some of its contestants, like Mario Lopez and Joey Fatone, you'd think DWTS could entice a better caliber of "star" but you would be wrong. With "celebrities" like Ted McGinley, Brooke Burke and Maurice Greene (who?), others like Kim Kardasian look like Julia Roberts. At least the dancers are still smokin' hot, right?

The dancing competition for "celebrities" returns this fall with an ever dimming wattage of stars and a big lack of dance talent as well. Former Jimmy Kimmel sidekick and radio host Adam Carola may be very funny on the air, but he can't get out of his own way on the dance floor and Pricilla Pressley, a stunningly beautiful woman back in the 80's is now just bizarre looking after a few too many plastic surgeries. However former Olypian Kristi Yamaguchi is awefully cute and a damned fine dancer. She's clearly the early favorite. Likewise, American Pie star Shannon Elizabeth is quite a talented dancer and as hot as ever, even if her career has gone stone cold. The biggest revelation is deaf actress Marlee Matlin. Not only is the fortysomething a better dancer than most of her hearing competitors, but she's still very sexy, in a MILFy sort of way. Magician Penn Gillete, tennis pro Monica Seles, Broadway star Marissa Janet Winoker, football player Jason Taylor and R&B star Mario round out this season's cast.
