Cheryl Burke’s Real Strategy of Winning Dancing with the Stars

Ah, now I get it! It’s so obvious, but I missed the big picture of Cheryl Burke’s Dancing with the Stars strategery. In Week 6 of DWTS, I took a look at each couple’s strategy of winning the competition. Basically, I thought Cheryl Burke’s strategy for Gilles Marini was showcasing only this Frenchman’s dancing skills. But let’s take a look at the past weeks shall we?

In Weeks 1-4, Cheryl and Gilles indeed focused on the dancing artform. Then in Week 5 came Gilles’ “pecs-o doble” where he started the routine shirtless.

Week 6’s jive featured Gilles and Cheryl in form fitting black leather outfits.

Cheryl and Gilles danced the Viennese Waltz in Week 7, but in preparation, Cheryl had Gilles practice his fluidity with a synchronized swimming instructor which yielded this.

And most recently in Week 8, Gilles flashed the fans his beans and frank via the old moose knuckle.

You see the trend here? It’s not just Gilles’ superb dancing on display. Oh no, Cheryl’s strategy of showcasing the wares of her man candy is in full effect and might lead her to yet another championship. Very, very clever Miss Burke.
