Esther Anderson gets Dancing with the Stars early vote

I liked Wirra myself, but what would I know?

Home and Away star Esther Anderson is Sportingbet Australia’s $3.00 favourite to win series ten of Dancing with the Stars following Sunday night’s first show.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Anderson showed enough talent on the dance floor to say her soapie fans would not be disappointed.

“Esther Anderson looked fairly natural on the dance floor and this coupled with her fan base makes her favourite,” said Sullivan.

Sullivan said Anderson was closely followed by Blair McDonough ($4.50), Tamara Jaber ($4.50) and Rob Palmer ($6.00).

“McDonough was very good and looms as an early dark horse while Palmer was personality plus even if he did dance like a carpenter,” Sullivan said.

“Tamara Jaber was clearly the best dancer on the night and if the show was won purely on dance ability would be an odds on favourite.

“But her husband, Kyle Sandilands, is such a ‘love him ‘or ‘hate him’ character that it makes it hard to judge the effect on her public vote “

Meanwhile, there’s a strong AFL flavour in the elimination market with David Wirrpanda and Alex Fevola favourites to be drop punted from the show.

“Wirrpanda may have won Goal of the Year a few seasons back with his left foot but he unfortunately had two of them on the dance floor,” said Sullivan.

“Alex Fevola looked as pretty as a picture but obviously suffered badly from nerves.”
