Hotel tvs aren’t as easy to rewind

(I'll try to get more in depth bios later if there are any. And if anyone knows or wants any info in their bios, let me know.)

I’m excited for Robert Irwin, Andy Richter and Corey Feldman.

Corey was in so many 80s movies that were huge when I was a teenager.

Andy will probably be the first to go. I don’t see him having a voting fanbase.

Im excited to see Andy and Dylan and Jordan

Excited for Robert Irwin and Danielle Fishel.

Interested to see if Corey Feldman can do more than just Michael Jackson choreography. Don’t think I’ve seen him do anything else for dancing. He always did that extremely well.

In for Scott, Andy, Elaine and Dylan as well

This won’t be a popular opinion but Ezra’s personality is so annoying. I know he’s the new darling of the show but his schtick seems so put on and over the top. My Instagram feed has been full of Ezra content in the last 24 hours. I’m already annoyed and the season hasn’t even started yet.

That's probably because Ezra is partnered with Jordan, the Olympic gymnast. The gymnasts usually win. GMA even had a separate interview from the rest of the cast with Jordan that I forgot to post earlier:

We have a Danielle (Fishel) and Daniella (the Pro Dancer) this season.

Also there is the new male pro dancer named Jan, pronounced as "Yawn."

And right now, Jan and the other new Pro dancer Ezra look similar enough that I will probably keep getting them mixed up.

Changes coming:
New theme nights
Changes to some of the competition rounds
Most demanding finale in show history

anniversary special:
Return of fan favorite dancers as guest judges
Former winners who will be involved in the competition rounds

Looks like Corey might have bailed (temporarily?) on Jenna. He’s a kooky dude.

I hope the pressure of competing against all the other contestants didn't get to him and make him flake. I also hope he's staying clean & sober. This is only a show.

Interesting that she talked about him being gone if seemingly she knew he was about to return. Like she wants people to know she had very little time to prepare for their first dance. Saving face perhaps.

I think it was because she was getting questions because all of the pairs were showing up in socials but them.

He looks like he’s been rode hard and put away wet. I am shocked that he’s only (just) 54!
