The Situation: "I Don't Mind Being The Underdog"

The Jersey Shore hunk talks Dancing With The Stars...

Jersey Shore's very own Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino believes he is the underdog when it comes to US TV show, Dancing With The Stars.

As we reported yesterday, The Situation was announced as a contestant on the hit dancing show, along with The Hills' Audrina Partridge when the new series kicks of Stateside on Monday.

Since he was added to the line-up, The Sitch has confessed that he feels he is the underdog going into the competition due to his commitment to Jersey Shore but claims he will 'try his hardest' to do well in the show.

Sorrentino told People: "I'm going to lose a couple days practice but I don't mind being the underdog,"

 "I promise to try my hardest and practise as much as I can and be the best that I can be. I hope the Situation Nation shows up to support me."

He added: "It's pretty unbelievable for me to be on one of the biggest shows on MTV to one of the biggest shows on TV."

As well as The Situation and Audrina, David Hasselhoff and Brandy are among the names that will take to the dance-floor on September 20th.
