Karina & Maks: DWTS All About Popularity
Back when Steve-O was stapling various body parts together and intentionally getting punched in the face on Jackass, the idea of the crazy stunt guy twirling about on the dance floor would've seemed nuts.
It still might seem nuts, but newly-engaged couple Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, two of Dancing With the Stars' pros, say Steve-O will be a fun one to keep your eye on this season.
"Steve-O is definitely someone to watch," Karina told OK! at Club mur.mur at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City on Feb. 7. "I think you’ll be excited, he’s a character."
"I heard that he was a trained circus clown so he’ll physically be able to do a lot of things," adds Maks.
So could that training, or other skills akin to dancing, be an unfair advantage over other contestants like singer Jewel or Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who might have little to no dancing background?
"The show has definitely showcased that it’s not a dance competition in itself, it’s also a personality contest, and popularity," Karina explains to OK!. "Having a big fan base plays a big part."
"I’m pretty sure Cloris Leachman last year [didn’t have experience] but, she lasted like, what seven weeks?" chimes in Maks.
"I think personality plays a huge part. I mean, they have to be willing to spend hours in the studio, and their attitude, and approach to it. If they have fun, the audience will have fun with them," adds Karina.
As for the show itself, the couple revealed that there are going to be some fun changes around the set... or so they think!
"The rumor is that we are going to have an extra celebrity couple, instead of having 12 couples, we’ll have 13," says Karina.
Once again, Maks has more to add to his real-life partner's explanation, proving they work well together on and off the set.
"There is going to be something called 'the dance off.' The bottom two couples are going to be dancing off for the judges, to see who the judges want to win, some crazy stuff like that. We have no idea," he admits. "We’ve been busy on the tour for the past two and a half months."
Soon enough the pros will be finishing up their tour and flying out to meet the "star" half of their dance equations.
"I’m looking forward to finding out who my celebrity is!" gushes Karina.
We can't wait either!

EXCLUSIVE: Kristi Yamaguchi Thinks Steve-O Might Be "the Weakest" on DWTS
Dancing With the Stars champ Kristi Yamaguchi thinks Steve-O could be the first to go next season.
"I think he might be the weakest of the whole bunch," she tells Usmagazine.com. "We know he's fearless, but we'll have to see if he's smooth as well."
Still, the Jackass star's wacky personality "might be one that people want to see, so they might vote to keep him on."
As for who could take the crown, that's "hard to say," Yamaguchi says. "I think Lil' Kim. She's a performer."
Yamaguchi is also into gymnast Shawn Johnson, a fellow Olympian.
"She's young and she has the performance and competitive [aspect] as well," she says. "I think she has a lot of potential to do well, but who knows!"
And don't count out football player Lawrence Taylor, who has "quite a personality, and I think [people will] either love him or hate him" the season-six champ tells Us. But, "football players do really well on the show."
Yamaguchi says the couples this year will bring a new dynamic. Ty Murray is competing against wife Jewel, while Julianne Hough is dancing with her beau, country singer Chuck Wick.
"I think the chemistry will be fun," Yamaguchi says.
