DWTS Preview: Karina Wants to See If The Situation Has 'Rhythm'

By Maggie Coughlan Posted Sep 12th 2010 11:10PM

'Dancing With the Stars' footwork phenom Karina Smirnoff is paired this season with 'Jersey Shore' breakout star Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino. So how does she feel their chemistry on the dancefloor will be? It's a big question mark.

"I'm excited to actually start. Everyone's been rehearsing for like two and a half to three weeks and we'll start [this week]. I'm excited to start and to see if he has any rhythm, if he can dance all together," Smirnoff told PopEater on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs. Sorrentino has been wrapping the third season of 'Shore.'

Smirnoff says that while they haven't tangoed yet, they have begun to know one another. "I've met him. We talked, we had our first meeting. Very interesting! Definitely a unique special person. He's witty, he's sharp. We have our hands full with each other."

Smirnoff has gotten far in 'DWTS' in earlier seasons, twisting with Mario Lopez into the finals. In more recent seasons, she hasn't fared as well with her partners like Steve Wozniak, Aaron Carter and Rocco DiSpirito.

Will she remain close with The Situation if they have an early 'DWTS' exit? Maybe, as they are neighbors. "Our houses are five minutes away from each other in Jersey," she says. "It's the new 'it' state!"

He has about as much rhythm as he does brain cells. Idiot lifts his shirt up all the time to make up for his lame personality and the fact that he has sold his soul to make another stupid American "reality" show. I hope the jersey shore breaks off into the Atlantic ocean. See how long those Jersey cows last without their makeup and alcohol. At least if they breed, they will be isolated.
