Kristi Yamaguchi Thinks Steve-O Might Be "the Weakest" on DWTS

Dancing With the Stars champ Kristi Yamaguchi thinks Steve-O could be the first to go next season.

"I think he might be the weakest of the whole bunch," she tells Usmagazine.com. "We know he's fearless, but we'll have to see if he's smooth as well."

Still, the Jackass star's wacky personality "might be one that people want to see, so they might vote to keep him on."

Look back at the craziest DWTS outfits of all time.

As for who could take the crown, that's "hard to say," Yamaguchi says. "I think Lil' Kim . She's a performer."

Yamaguchi is also into gymnast Shawn Johnson , a fellow Olympian.

"She's young and she has the performance and competitive [aspect] as well," she says. "I think she has a lot of potential to do well, but who knows!"

And don't count out football player Lawrence Taylor, who has "quite a personality, and I think [people will] either love him or hate him" the season-six champ tells Us. But, "football players do really well on the show."

Yamaguchi says the couples this year will bring a new dynamic. Ty Murray is competing against wife Jewel , while Julianne Hough is dancing with her beau, country singer Chuck Wick.

"I think the chemistry will be fun," Yamaguchi says.

So what does she think of the new group overall?

"Wow, I think it's an unbelievable cast...they have some huge names on there," Yamaguchi says. "Those are, like, people that I'm kind of surprised have the time to do this!"

Yamaguchi also has a few words of advice for the celebs strapping on their dancing shoes for season eight, premiering March 9 on ABC.

"Go into it with an open mind, with the idea that you're doing this for fun," she tells Us. "If you get too competitive and caught up, that's just not fun -- and the audience can tell."
