The rebel on the dance floor Schwimmer told Dacascos she wanted the dance to “showcase your strength as a martial artist, but show case that you can dance” as well.

Next Iron Chef Season 2 contestant Jose Garces recently did an interview with The Philadelphia City Paper’s MealTicket Blog. Among other things, he talked about Mark’s role as The Chairman of TNIC, airing on Food Network starting Sunday October 4th.
…the chairman’s routine is pretty funny, but when you have such high stakes on the line, you can’t help but take it very seriously. You definitely crack a smile and there is some humor to it, but the competitive nature [of the show] kept me pretty serious. Off-camera, he was very nice, very charming and I think he wanted to make all the competitors feel welcome and comfortable more than anything else. I could see myself having a beer with him.

Laying odds on Dancing With the Stars: Who will win? - From MSNBC.COM

Maks added that singing star Mya, who is paired with Dmitry Chaplin, is expected to do well, as is Lacey Schwimmer’s new dance floor partner.
“I think Mark Dacascos, on paper, is great. I remember watching him doing his thing with Jet Li,” Maks said of the “Cradle 2 The Grave” star. “He could be one of the dark horses people don’t think about. I think Debi will be great. [She could be] a dark horse too.”
