The Hotties

  • Who: Janel Parrish (pictured), Jonathan Bennett
  • How It Will Play Out: While DWTS isn't shy about showcasing eye candy, the young, good-looking celebrity contestants rarely come out on top. (The exceptions being perhaps Winter 2006's Drew Lachey, Spring 2010's Nicole Scherzinger, and Fall 2012's Melissa Rycroft.) In recent years, the hot stars have had to prove that they are more than an attractive face, and considering that both Jonathan and Janel are more recognizable to people under the age of 35 — and thus firmly outside DWTS's target audience — their journeys will be an uphill battle.
  • Prediction: Both of these stars need to find a storyline that will appeal to the wider DWTS audience if they hope to make it into the semifinals. (See Fall 2013 winner Amber Riley, who worked hard to show immense improvement over the course of the show.) Jonathan may have an easier chance with creating this story, as he's been out of the public eye for a while and everyone loves a good comeback story.
