Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy may or may not be dating, officially, but there is definitely something between them. And that something is hot.

When the ESPN reporter got the news she’d be on Dancing with the Stars, she knew she wanted to be paired up with Maksim Chmerkovskiy right away.

Because of his strong work ethic, of course… but also his musk.

“He’s ridiculously amazing!” Andrews said on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show. “We could be working out for hours and I’ll smell like a guy and he smells like a garden of lilies. I’m like, are you serious? I’ll put on a load of deodorant [and] spray myself up.”

It must help – they’ve been among the top scorers so far.

Aside from his scent, there are other characteristics drawing Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy to each other. She told producers, “I want somebody that pushes me … I’ll try to weasel my way out of things. I’ll be like, ‘Let’s go get a latte!'”

“But Maks will say ‘No. Do this step. Then we leave for latte.'”

Love. It’s always give and take, right? And sexual chemistry.

Seriously. She literally asked for it.

“I flat out said to [the producers], I want sexual chemistry,” she admits. “I want to be put with Maks. I don’t care if he makes me cry, I want somebody that’s really hot.”

It’ll only help with voters. When that whiner Kate Gosselin stays around and Shannen Doherty gets kicked off, you know it’s a popularity contest first and a dancing competition second. Fortunately, Erin and Maks should be quite popular.
