Dancing With the Stars: Fall 2016

[Wendy31]

I'm happy. I'm a swim mom and I like Ryan Lochte. He needs to re-establish his brand and what better way than to be charming on DWTS?

As someone who follows swimming (even when it's NOT the Olympics) I think that whole Lochte episode has completely been blown out of proportion. Yes, he was drunk. Yes, he peed behind the gas station. Yes, he knocked down an advertizing poster. Yes, he lied about having a gun pointed to his head. HOWEVER ... the swimmers never destroyed a bathroom -(the Rio police LIED about that). They WERE held at gunpoint by security (perhaps illegally). They were shaken down by security to "pay" for the poster (how much different is that from being robbed?). Frankly, I think that Lochte has been railroaded here and that the companies withdrew their support for him did so before all the evidence was out. It's a real shame because what he really did was not that bad in the grand scheme of things. Was he immature? You bet.

As a fellow swim-mom, I absolutely agree w/ everything you said!

We were discussing this as a family the other night, & I said what Michael Phelps did (driving drunk) was actually much more dangerous than what Ryan Lochte did - not that I want my kids drunk & peeing behind gas stations & ripping down posters. But, at least, Ryan was in a cab. And we all seem to have forgiven Phelps.

Like you said, Ryan was railroaded, &, during his interview w/ Matt Lauer, I felt sorry for him.

So, I'm excited for Ryan to be on DWTS, & I hope the voters give him a fair chance.

And I'm THRILLED that Maks is back!

Noooo.....
Depending on the "stars", I may be out this season as well. If I have to look them all up, I am done

 

[Wendy31]

Tony is out!!!!!

Wow... but, in a way, I can understand. He's probably a bit tired of getting the stars he normally is partnered with.

 

[mandy200587]

Jenna from troupe is a pro

 

[AustinTink]

Just read that one of the stars of the show Little Women is confirmed. Not familiar with the show...

 

[mandy200587]

I googled Little Women LA and Entertainment Tonight says Terra will be the one on the show.

 

[Mizzoufan]

The show won't be the same without Tony

During my break from DWTS season 23. I look forward to traveling across the US to spend time with my DWTS fans, focus on my Dance with Me USA studios and its students, growing my Tony Dovolani Foundation: Golf for Special Needs Children and of course enjoying my family. After 21 consecutive seasons on DWTS, I consider them my second family and I look forward to watching all of my friends and family dance their hearts out this season.

I've also seen somewhere that Emma Samms (she played Holly on "General Hospital") will be one of the stars.

Has that been mentioned here yet?

 

[mandy200587]

Babyface Edmonds has joined the cast!

 

[Imzadi]

Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!

I've also seen somewhere that Emma Samms (she played Holly on "General Hospital") will be one of the stars.

Yes, it was mentioned in the first post along with the date the official cast will be announced.

 

[mandy200587]

Emma Samms btw is out for a contestant, she confirmed it

 

[Imzadi]

Babyface Edmonds has joined the cast!

So does he fulfill the ex-boy band member (even though he wasn't in a boy band, but has a big R&B/Motown following) or the older singer (like Gladys Knight) category?

You, Dancind, Kirby & whomever else is doing all this DWTS detective work had better be writing all this down. It's like football plays right now, with so many stars & dancers in & out.

Except for Maureen McCormack &Ryan Lochte, I've had to look up every single other person.

Thanks! My 8am/Aug30th on GMA self thanks you. (I could just wait an hour till some blog posts the list. But, that's not as fun as finding out early or as they announce it that we got it right. )
