I Guess I Ought To Choose My Favorite for Dancing with the Stars Again...

So at some point last year, I tried to guess who was the favorite in Dancing with the Stars (Ralph Macchio in the nostalgic choice). Unfortunately no one sticks out to me as a nostalgic favorite quite like Ralph Macchio.
Apparently she's famous for some reason.
So, just thinking about the choices, there is no one that I can think of as a standout favorite not based on their dancing abilities. There is the choice you'd love to hate (David Arquette, who broke Monica's Jules Cobb's Courtney Cox's heart). There's the reality television choice (this year with twice the reality with a Kardashian and Kristen Cavallari from The Hills). There is the All-American choice (Hope Solo, who was a critical member of the USA women's near World Cup or J.R. Martinez, who is an Iraq War veteran).
Vote against this man. I dare you.
But sometimes, the best choice is the crazy choice. Not crazy in the sense that they are blatantly controversial. But crazy as in clinically crazy. I present to you my choice to win Dancing with the Stars.
Ron Artest, or soon to be Metta World Peace
Yes, I will say now that Ron Artest will win Dancing with the Stars. Admittedly he's not exactly the most savory person in the world. He's made a name for himself for crazy antics like thanking his psychologist after winning the championship, and of course, there's the entire name change. This isn't like the Ochocinco name change, where you could actually derive where the name is coming from (8-5 in pseudo-Spanish). He wants to be called Metta World Peace.
And that entire brawling with fans ordeal
But I've gotta admit, he seems like the most fun character on the show. There are some interesting stories (Chaz Bono's gender-twisting tale, J.R. Martinez's inspirational story, Hope Solo and the World Cup), but they don't seem charismatic. Honestly, love him or hate him, Ron Artest is entertaining. And without a true nostalgic vote, you'd expect the audience to vote for the crazies. I mean, who votes for the good dancers anyway? But that's beyond the point. When If I watch a show, I expect to be entertained. So, considering the fact that people have voted for equally polarizing dancers in the past, I'm expecting Ron Artest to make it. And I hope that we enjoy every fun-filled, insane second of it.
