Annie Barrett is a staff writer for Entertainment Weekly and EW.com (if you don't already know who she is, if you do, sorry!). I really enjoy her DWTS recaps and such, so you might see a lot of links to her articles on here :)

Having said that, I take all of these preseason lists and prediction thingies with a grain of salt because you never know what kinds of sparkly wrenches the producers are going to throw in. It's all for fun. 

I think that it is interesting to note that Emmitt did move up from her original list partly due to being paired with Cheryl (like I've said before: DREAM TEAM). Also, I don't think she factored in TEAM EMMITT :D
