cuban.jpgTexans - I think it’s time we get ready to get behind one of our own, Mark Cuban as he gets ready to face off against 11 other contestants on Monday, September 24 in the new season of Dancing with the Stars. I’ve worked with Mark on different stories over the years, including interviewing him when I was with People Magazine when he was one of our Sexiest Man Alive picks. He’s a great guy, extremely enthusiastic in whatever he takes on, and is an intense competitor. All of this is going to show in his Dancing with the Stars performances. Plus, he’s matched up with the dynamic and stunning, Kym Johnson – they’ll be a force to contend with!

I thought I’d check in with Mark to get his feelings on Dancing and any secret strategies he has in store for clinching the DWTS trophy.


What made you decide to accept the Dancing gig?
Mark: It was a unique once in a lifetime chance to have a great time and
compete. How could I say no?

I heard you were a disco dance instructor in college, what was your
specialty dance move that wowed the crowd?

Mark: That was back in the 80s. So I did whatever I thought girls liked.

What past Dancing contestant do you compare your abilities to?
Mark: Hopefully, Emmitt Smith!

If viewers were to give you a nickname for your dancing prowess, what
should it be?

Mark: Twinkletoes

What is your secret weapon that you're bringing to the competition that
your competitors should fear?

Mark: I will outwork them and be fearless.

Superman's weakness is kryptonite - what's going to be yours in the
competition?

Mark: Maybe my left hip. I just had it replaced 7 weeks ago.

How will you handle any criticism from the judges?
Mark: With a smile

How much of a competitive edge will you have from your previous dance
experience and recently working with dance instructors?

Marl: It’s hard to say. I just wanted any edge I could get.

If I was a betting kind of person, should I place a bet in Vegas that
you're going to take home the trophy?

Mark: If I'm a long shot, absolutely.

It's up to Dancing fans to vote, what kind of support do you think
you'll get and what kind of feedback have you had already?

Mark: It’s been great. I hope fans from around Texas will vote for us and then
some.
