Dancing with the Stars Top 6 Men: Rankings and Recap

Well, a woman has not won Dancing with the Stars since Kelly Monaco took home the trophy back in Season 1, but after seeing the men perform last night, I'd say that's pretty likely to change.

Yep, the men could barely hold a candle to the ladies, with only one standout dancer in the bunch. Let's get to the rankings...

1. Helio Castroneves
The NASCAR dancer has the great fortune of working with last year's champ Julianne Hough, who, it seems, is unfailingly brilliant, but he's also in good stead because he's got actual dance ability! This fox trot was nearly perfect, with charm and elegance to spare. It's always fun to see an athlete, who has not had experience "performing," shine. Last night, that was Helio.

2. Wayne Newton
The guy certainly knows how to charm, as he's had years of experience doing so. He's also got the DWTS good-luck charm in Cheryl Burke. This certainly wasn't dazzling, but it had more pizazz than most of his competitors.

3. Floyd Mayweather
He's no Laila Ali, but the guy has clearly got god-given rhythym, and he certainly attacked this dance like it was a competitor in a ring. It was feisty and passionate, but it wasn't pleasant to watch, per se. Still, I admire the commitment.

4. Mark Cuban
I want to hate this guy -- he seems like an overgrown frat boy with the world's biggest bank account. But there's something likable about his determination at "having new experiences," not to mention the quick recovery he's made from his recent hip replacement surgery. The dancing was not flawless by any means, but the attitude is right on target.

5. Cameron Mathison
This guy is so the Ian Ziering of this year -- sweet, but stiff as a board. Never underestimate those soap opera fans, though -- they'll keep this guy (who is, admittedly, quite attractive)around for weeks!

6. Albert Reed
It's always interesting when a model looks ugly, and that was the case with Albert Reed last night. His still photos are breathtaking -- his dancing, not so much.

Check back in a little bit for my prediction of who will get the boot tonight.
