During an interview with US Weekly, Ross said, “I’m a guy that doesn’t take himself too seriously. I told Lindsay she can put me in pink and bling me out in rhinestones, it doesn’t matter! Do me up, put me in the outfit — I’m comfortable enough in my own skin that it doesn’t matter if I think other people are judging me. I think I’ll probably be harder on myself than anyone else.” Ross seems pretty confident about his dancing skills, is willing to learn anything, and will give it his best shot. He is used to being in front of millions of people, so we are sure he will be able to handle himself well on stage.

Lindsay Arnold was born on January 11, 1994, in Provo, Utah. She is a professional ballroom dancer and has been a part of Dancing with the Stars since season 16. Arnold has been dancing since the age of four and has done her training with some of Utah’s best teachers, including Shirley and Mark Ballas. On her first season of Dancing with the Stars, she was the second youngest pro dancer on the show. She has worked with several celebrities and has helped three of them to finish in the top four positions! Former Georgia Tech football star, Calvin Johnson Jr. was her partner last season on Dancing with the Stars, and the two placed third.

Whether or not Arnold and Ross will win this season of Dancing with the Stars can only be determined by watching the show. We wish them luck this season and cannot wait to see how fair they make it in the competition! Dancing with the Stars airs tonight (March 20) at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC.
