‘Dancing with the Stars’ 20 spoilers: Chris Soules injured, will most likely compete

There is one little bit of news to announce prior to Monday night’s latest episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” and this one revolves around a certain “Bachelor” star in Chris Soules. In a post on Twitter, Chris reveals that he suffered a half injury leading up to the show. While he’s most likely going to be in pain, we will be shocked if this keeps him from competing. Most of the time, we hear about injuries right before the show comes on the air, and they all end up being okay when the dust settles.

The truth here is that even with this injury, Chris may have a harder time competing for the show much longer. Much like Sean Lowe, Jake Pavelka, and Trista Sutter, Chris has not exactly shown that he has the qualities to be the next great dancer. He’s trying hard, but he is not a professional entertainer. He’s instead a farmer from Iowa who was plucked from obscurity to be on a dating show. Melissa Rycroft is the only alumni from this franchise to go on to be a great performer on the show, and the reason for that is fairly simple: She had the background for it as a onetime cheerleader.

What Chris has going for him here is strictly that he already has a large following thanks to “The Bachelor,” and that could keep him safe for another week or two. This is around where he is placed in our contestant rankings; both Jake and Sean lasted a little longer, though either one of them did not finish in the finals.

We will have more on “Dancing with the Stars” later tonight, so be on the lookout for that! Also, you can sign up here in the event you want some other TV updates on all we cover via our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo: aBC.)
