Theme Week: Women of Ginter '11: Cheryl Burke

Welcome to the final installment in the Women of Ginter '11 theme week.  Today, the spotlight shines on 2-time Dancing with the Stars champion, Cheryl Burke.

Based on initial impressions, it's hard to fathom Cheryl being at the same level as some of other ladies in the set.  In fact, as you can see by her card bio below, her biggest claim to sports fame is dancing with some football stars.  Here's the actual bio from the back of Allen & Ginter card:
 It's not only the celebrities people tune in to watch.  Among the professional dancers on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, Cheryl has become a star in her own right.  The series regular was the first to win the competition twice - first with singer Drew Lachey in Season 2 and then with Hall of Fame NFL running back Emmitt Smith in Season 3.  Burke also owns dance studios in her native California.
As you can see, there's no mention of high school track records or world cup medals like some of the other ladies that have been featured this week!  However, in the world of reality television competitions Cheryl is indeed a champion.  Does that make her as worthy as the other ladies?  Well, let's review the facts:

She's active on Twitter and has her own dance studios.

She admitted to a "fling" with former dancing partner Chad Ochocinco.

And she's uhm...a fan of swimsuits?

Yeah, I guess it's hard to say that Cheryl is the same kind of champion as the rest of the ladies featured this week - but I guess if you have to have a non-deserving lady in the set, you at least get one who likes to wear strapless dresses and red bikinis?
