Dance War Finale – New Dancing with the Stars Contestants

This week I got an email from someone trying to promote tonight’s Dance War Finale. I’ll take the bait and post the information they sent me. I must admit that I’m glad today is President’s Day holiday so I can be home to see it live. Plus, I’m glad that they’ll be presenting the new contestants for Dancing with the Stars tonight.

Here’s the insider info for Dance War:

Chris

* Chris has a really serious girlfriend that he doesn’t want anyone to know about.

* Chris hates school. His biggest fear is being voted off this show and going back to obscurity.

* Elizabeth, Zack, Mariel and Lacey all take part in a bible study. Zack leads it.

Charity

* Charity and Lacey go way back. They used to travel and sing together. Lacey used to dance at the dance studio Charity worked at but claims she could never afford taking lessons there.

Marqis

* Qui’s and Corina used to date.
* Qui’s is obsessed with the Lakers. It’s been really hard for him to be without sports center, and he can’t understand how the other guys in the group could care less.

Phil

* Phillip has plans to marry his girlfriend after the show is over. She’s been in Minnesota for the last month, and in and out of the hospital for back surgery. He told me that fame will not change the way he thinks about her. He could care less about any other girls.
* Phillip has written songs about his girlfriend. He wrote the first song the day after they met.
* Philips is afraid of being known as “the hat guy”. In fact, he never wears hats. The hat he wore the first day wasn’t even his. He was just trying to have a better “hip hop look”

Lacey

* Lacey is annoyed by Kelsey’s cattiness. I’ve seen her roll her eyes at her several times.

* Kelsey is a huge Diva

Alyssa

* Alyssa gets on the nerves of the rest of the group

* Tony and Zack go back and forth making meals for the rest of the group.

Mariel

* Mariel has opened up more within the last week, and she feels really comfortable around Elizabeth and Lacey.

General

* The only party kids in the group are Corina, Charity, Kelsey, and Elizabeth. The rest drink rarely or never.
* Lacey and Zack are the group leaders. They go along with the rules, and they don’t question them. The rest of the group is constantly looking for opportunities to stray. Zack is constantly motivating the group.
* The guys love Kim Kardashian as a whole; are not at all interested in Miley Cyrus
