Glad you started the thread, Mandy, 
maybe this mini season will actually be a good, tight competition? With everyone being athletes, hopefully all of them will be able to MOVE really well, so ALL of them will hopefully be contenders. 
I saw one interview with Kym a few weeks ago. She was so over the moon about it.
