5 Ways Nicole Scherzinger Can Fail at Dancing with the Stars

Lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, is clearly the choice to win the mirrorball trophy of Dancing with the Stars. Her ballroom routine in week 1 was solid, and her week 2 jive was part perfection. So how can Nicole lose Dancing with the Stars? Here are five ways.

1. A sick Derek Hough

Remember when Derek Hough was out with the flu in Season 9?  Joanna Krupa had to temporarily partner with Maks, and although Maks is a bad ass, that changeup was difficult at crunch time. Derek Hough can’t overexert himself. So no more Ballas Hough Band until after the conclusion of Season 10.

2. Don’t cover up

There’s a reason why Nicole is a member of the Pussycat Dolls. She got the look.

And now with Edyta out, DWTS will need costume challenged performances from Nicole.

3. Spat with Brooke Burke

Focus on the dances and overlook any cattiness with new DWTS hostess Brooke Burke.

So what if Brooke is a former champion and partner of Derek Hough? This is your season.

4. Don’t get all diva

Did you see Kate Gosselin pick apart her pro partner and teacher, Tony Dovolani? That diva attitude is dangerous and definitely not endearing so Nicole, take note. Stay humble, thank your fans, appreciate each week on the show, bring in your family and friends, and oh yeah, keep promoting the Aloha State.

5. Get a dorky nickname

When the pairing of Nicole and Derek get a nickname blending their names, you know it’s too late. D-Cole? Hozinger? FAIL!
