Hopefully for Rob, he will do better than his sister Kim Kardashianwho was voted off in her third week on the show in 2008.  He certainly isn’t taking any advice from his older sis. “She just said, like ‘You’re going to be really nervous.’ [But] I don’t want her advice – I don’t need advice from someone who lasted, I think three weeks.”“[Mom] forced Kim to do it, too,” Rob reveals. “[My family] told me that I had better beat Kim as she’s a terrible dancer, and if I couldn’t do this, then I had a problem. I’m hoping that I do well.”

Rob will face a big challenge this season with the grueling schedule of the show because he says he has put on a few pounds lately and has not stayed in tip top shape. “I weigh more than I’ve ever weighed, at more than 200 pounds. I’m usually always in shape, but I’ve been enjoying not working out and eating crap, so I’ll use this to really start getting in shape!”

And trying to get some fan sympathy votes, literally, Rob says: “You probably wouldn’t know, but I’m the most insecure and overweight I’ve ever been.”

And in case you need more reason to throw your votes his way, Rob adds, “I’m not a confident dancer at all.”
