I've actually heard of most of these stars, unlike last year.
Considering how well ice skaters have done on DWTS, I'm betting on Charlie and Meryl.

Same here on actually knowing who most of the stars are.
And no bet -- I think it will be a one-two finish.

I hadn't heard of Amy Purdy. This article tells a lot about her.
Why Double-Leg Amputee Amy Purdy Could Win 'Dancing With the Stars'
Everything Hough touches seems to turn to gold ― just ask fellow "DWTS" cast members Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who brought home the first U.S. Olympic gold medal for ice dancing after working with him. And speaking of Davis and White, Hough spent a lot of time helping to choreograph their "My Fair Lady"-themed short dance.
As if Charlie and Meryl didn't already have a big advantage.
There will be a little twist to the competition this year: At some point, the dancers will switch partners and it will be up to voters who goes to which pros.
In addition to competing on "Dancing With the Stars," Purdy is set to represent the U.S. at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi next week.
So when will she practice her dancing?
