I'm new at following Dancing with the Stars so I know I should really curb my enthusiasm, but I'm dying to make predictions today even if we are only in the second week of the new season. I ask you veteran watchers of all seasons: Is that unwise? Do the early stunners usually flame out? Or do those who show promise this early in the competition generally make it to the grand finale?

Of course, the judges themselves told the NFL's Jason Taylor and Olympic champion Kristi Yamaguchi that they have what it takes to get to the winner's circle, so they're safe bets. And there are still real contenders among the others. Mario is definitely hot. Priscilla Presley is surprisingly good. So, shall we make predictions on which celebs will be the first ones to get the ax? Tonight is the first elimination and both a female and a male star will be sent home. My money is on Adam Corolla (at right), who improved from last week but doesn't seem to care enough about winning, and tennis great Monica Seles, who cares greatly but has no natural ability. Who do you think will be out after tonight? Post your thoughts below.
