A new season of the hit TV show Dancing with the Stars premiered last night with the foxtrotting men of the competition taking the stage. Tonight, it's the women's turn to show their stuff and in amongst that auspicious crowd will be long-time pokerer and hottie Shannon Elizabeth.

Before the first minute of dancing has even been seen, Elizabeth has already been rated by the competent and, at times, sadistic Bodog oddsmakers. According to the Dancing with the Stars betting odds posted at Bodog, the actress is a 15/1 favorite to win the competition, which puts her pretty much right in the middle of the pack.

The odds on favorites to win overall right now are former figure-skater Kristi Yamaguchi and NFL star Jason Taylor, who are both tied at 5/2. Sitting with the worst odds, at 30/1, is the scourge of our 2007 WSOP experience, Penn Jillete ("Penn and Teller, doin' tricks, with blooooood and guuuuuts").

If you've been to the Rio, you know what we're talking about.

Anyway, check out the full odds over in the Bodog Sportsbook and get in on the Dancing With the Stars fever that is sweeping the nation. God knows why.
