Erin Andrews should usurp Brooke Burke on DWTS


erin-andrews

So now that Erin Andrews, the Sideline Princess of all Sideline Princesses has completed her third place finish on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” where will she land next?

Like I said in my last feature on Erin Andrews, now that Andrews has our sympathies, from the stalking nightmare and the death threats, her star power is a much bigger sell now. She can easily go from college sports regular, to a steady NFL sideline gig or doing the biggest headliner NBA games on ABC/ESPN. Or higher; leave cable for national network. Her agent can use the victim card in her favor, and that will upgrade her from internet/sports geek fantasy girl to mainstream hottie.

But where specifically? I got the idea from Craig Sanger’s Washington Times Communities column “Erin Andrews next job should be…”

I have no idea why people were so shocked by Erin Andrews’ third place finish on DWTS. She was a member of the Dazzlers, the Florida Gators dance team. We were reminded of this by ESPN when they aired this clip, which prompted the eternally annoying Dickie V. to say “she’s still a dazzler, ARE you kidding me!”

So she’s a great dancer- I guess. I don’t really know whether a given female is good at dancing or not, I just know if she looks good (or not) while doing it.

I may be bereft of choreography knowledge, but I do know EA is a big upgrade in substance over Burke at the DWTS position. Mostly because Burke long ago crossed over into skank/bimbo land and Andrews has not. (Elisabeth Hasselback may disagree with me, but who cares? Hasselback has been firmly entrenched in mentally challenged land for pretty much her whole life). EA is still both “cute” and “hot,” while Burke is just “stripper hot,” nothing more.

BB is a bonafide skank because she’s done three things in her life Andrews has not: 1.) taking the bucks to pose nude. 2.) Doing the whole dissolving her marriage with the very successful regular guy in order to help her career by shacking up with the famous Hollywood stud (Yes, the fact that I know Hollywood gossip like this makes me quasi-gay. I’m aware of that) 3.) acquired big fake boobies.

And then here’s the kicker- Andrews is way better on camera on Burke. Yes, both have likely been fodder for millions of masturbation fantasies, and that hotness they both possess has MUCH to do with how they got to where they are today, but Andrews is way better on camera than Burke.

BY FAR. It’s obvious, so if EA takes the gig, she’d be:

a.) sideline reporting on…not an actual sport, but a physical activity, and one that she has working knowledge of, having placed third on the previous season and being on the UF Dance team.

b.) giving ABC a chance to expand that specific role on DWTS because she has more range in her skill set than Burke. This past season featured EA and Nicole from PCD, two of the 10 hottest women alive, and Pamela Anderson, who was insanely hot about 20 years ago. So I’ll freely admit that I am well versed in the format of this crappy show.

c.)   taking a step up by going to national network tv.
