The former GOP majority leader Tom DeLay is still the underdog of the show and now his odds of winning Dancing with the Stars were lengthened to 75/1 at the sportsbook (meaning the bookie will pay out $75 on every $1 bet if Tom DeLay somehow wins the dancing competition), after the chewing off he got from the judges last week. On the other extreme, Donny Osmond with dancing partner Kym Johnson remain the favorite couple to win Dancing with the Stars Season 9, sitting on very short odds 2/1, i.e. the odds maker will pay $2 for every $1 wagered on Donny Osmond if he wins DWTS.

But Donny Osmond, whose sister Marie reached 3rd place in the 5th season of Dancing with the Stars will face some stiff competition on the road to victory. Both singer Aaron Carter with pro partner Karina Smirnoff and Mya with Dmitry Chaplin are listed with odds 3/1 to win Dancing with the Stars this season.
