Karina Smirnoff Dispels Rumors That She And Corbin Bleu Have An Advantage on DWTS

From contestants like Snooki and Bill Nye the Science Guy, season 17 of Dancing With The Stars is already pretty entertaining. Corbin Bleu is a stand-out already, but his pro partner Karina Smirnoff reveals in an exclusive interview with Wetpaint.com, that the pair doesn't have an unfair advantage in the competition like some people may think.

Karina told the site that almost half the cast has dance experience including Corbin, so they don't necessarily have a leg-up. As for the rest of the contestants, Karina says "they bring more: personalities, fan bases, personal stories. Everyone comes with a different advantage."

Karina also gushes about her partner, saying, "He is just a class act, he's funny, he's so awesome." Admitting that she has wanted Corbin to be her partner for about four years now, this team sounds like a recipe for success. Their game plan is to entertain with some great routines and with the help of some prayers, hopefully they can dance their way to the top!
