If you've ever read The Slug before, you may have noticed we tend to champion one person in reality TV competitions. (Taylor Hicks in "American Idol," Dilana Smith in "Rock Star: Supernova," Janelle Pierzina in "Big Brother," Nicole Richie in the fourth season of "The Simple Life.") Well, after watching the second episode of "Dancing with the Stars," we're getting behind Ian Ziering this time around.

We know. We know. Joey Fatone is probably the safer choice, but we think Ziering wants it more — and his partner Cheryl Burke, the two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champ that kinda reminds us of Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, seems to have been blessed with the ability to teach has-beens to shake their groove thangs. Besides, don't blondes have more fun?
