There’s a reason why the recently-released set of Dancing with the Stars promotional photos is missing a well-sculpted six-pack of abs:

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is yet to even meet partner Karina Smirnoff, a major obstacle in the path of this pair’s championship hopes.

“I think were literally the only couple who will only have about five days to get ready for the premiere on national television,” Smirnoff told MTV. “Everyone else is going to have three and half weeks. I know I have to be very clever in the choreography… we might try to implement the fist-pumping for the first episode.”

Or there’s gotta be some routine that features tanning and laundry, right?

 
Smirnoff also said she’d like to introduce the world to a different side of The Situation, specifically one that dons a shirt:

“I think it’d be nice to still have Mike as Mike that we know, but also show some more insight into him wearing a tuxedo, wearing something we’ve never seen. I hope we’re able to give different sides of Mike… he’s going to be stretched out to his limits, physically speaking.”

Clearly, Karina doesn’t watch Jersey Shore. The Situation is stretched to his limits, physically speaking, by a different girl every night. He’ll be ready.
