Nick Lachey on Dancing with the Stars

He continued, “It’s going to be a tough season for the judges, Obviously, Victoria [Arlen] and Val [Chmerkovskiy] — her story of coming from the Paralympics to learning to walk again, and now she’s on Dancing with the Stars — to Nick and Vanessa and that storyline as well, to Debbie Gibson. You’ve got a lot of people out there with some pretty significant fan bases, and you can’t take for granted the strength of their partner’s fan bases, as well.”
