Ranking the Contestants on DWTS

I don't usually do this until the finale, but here goes:

1. Chandler
Chandler has grace, beauty, musicality, and she can shake her booty. She adapts easily to different dance styles. After last night, we now know she has the fire and drive to win. Her Paso was amazing and I think she and Brandon deserved a 10.

2. Joey
Joey is so likeable and relatable, and also has great musicality. He's willing to go the extra mile to please the ballroom, including dancing shirtless and executing a back flip. I enjoyed last night's Samba, but his best dance so far was his Tango on Hair Metal Nite.

3. Danny
Danny's strengths are, literally, his strength, and his partnering skills. Plus he and Witney have formed such a close bond. There is so much trust in this partnership, such as when Witney flew off the stairs into his arms last night, and that insane move during their Rumba when Danny lifted her from the floor by her foot. 
But I agree with Bruno - He needs more confidence. He hesitates and waits for Witney sometimes. 

Those are my top contenders. 
The other four are harder to rank.

4. Jenn
Are she and Sasha dating?
I don't know, but they definitely have chemistry.
Exhibit A: That passionate Viennese Waltz. 
Jenn needs to dance like that if she's going to make it to finale night.

5. Ilona 
I LOVE her!
What a role model she is.
And I love her and Alan together. 
They create magic in the ballroom. 
I cried during her Rumba; I was so happy for her.
But I agree with the judges.
The tricks are exciting, but she needs to dance more.

6. Stephen
Stephen's athleticism is definitely his strength. And he and Riley have energy and exuberance out the wazoo. 
Absolutely his weakness is his timing. If he can fix that, he would move up in my rankings.

7. Dwight
It pains me to put Dwight at the bottom of my rankings.
Initially he was my favorite, and I still love him.
I'm with Derek - his smile lights up the ballroom. 
And I know he wants to do well.
Obviously his strength is an asset. 
But he needs to work on his steps.
I'm still hopeful for improvement.
