Be Careful What You ….

Say – and even more careful what you write.  Words, even electronic words, last forever and can come back to bite you.

In his column last Sunday, New York TV critic Verne Gay predicted the outcome of this year’s “All Star” edition of Dancing with the Stars.  Based on performance and popularity, he predicted that the three women finalists would come  in this order:

3) MELISSA RYCROFT AND TONY DOVOLANI

2) KELLY MONACO AND VAL CHMERKOVSKIY

1) SHAWN JOHNSON AND DEREK HOUGH

He explained his logic by saying

This combination of two major stars -- one a great athlete, the other a more dazzling star than any of the all-stars -- quite possibly represents the best dancing team in the show's history. They are so good -- and electrifying, which is a word you don't often use in talking about any "Dancing" team, except at the risk of ridicule -- that they are preposterously unbeatable.

Bottom line: Your winners, easily.

Just in case you didn’t watch – and their numbers were down quite a bit this season – the winner was

Mr. Gay did not get any of his place position predictions right.  Even in a shell game the chances are that you’ll get one out of three correct.

Maybe he has a future as a TV weatherman.
