Poor Lacey Schwimmer… She’s one of my favorite professionals on Dancing with the Stars. She’s original, she’s got spunk, she doesn’t conform, and she’s smokin’ hot. So who do they pair her with? Loser lunatic and resident Jackass, Steve-O. Lovely. She recently spoke about the upcoming season and what she really thinks of her new partner. Here’s the dish:

So let us have it � how�s Steve-O?
Steve-O is a workhorse. He is here everyday, five hours. He says, �Is five hours enough, Lacey? Do you think I need more than that?� So he�s just such a hard worker and we�re in very intense rehearsals everyday.

Were you worried that because of his history he wouldn�t be the most disciplined partner?
Absolutely, and that�s what I thought going into it, too. I was like, �Oh, man. He�s not going to want to practice and this, that and the other.� But I walked in and the first thing he said to me was, �I�m taking this very seriously. So you�re the boss. You tell me what to do. I�ll do whatever you want.� Ever since, he�s been such a great person to work with.

Does he have any dance experience?
He comes from a background of circus training. He graduated clown school, I believe, and he has these really interesting tricks that he can do that I�ve never seen anyone on the show do before. So we�re definitely going to try and incorporate what he already can do and I�m trying to develop things that he could potentially do.

What do you think are your chances?
I think he�s this little dark horse of the competition. People don�t really know what to expect from him � I keep getting these messages on Myspace or on Facebook and they�re like, �Oh, man, you and Steve-O. I�m so sorry.� I look at them and think they have no idea about this guy.

Well, that definitely makes me feel better…� that circus training thing definitely explains a lot. And she did come out and say early she’d love to dance with him, so she must have know what she was doing. I’m rooting for you, Lace!!!
