Starting this thread early as the last TWO seasons, our DWTS DIS detectives were able to successfully name almost all the cast members BEFORE the official announcement date.

mandy200587, who has been our resident DWTS detective will be posting info as it comes in (and as her jobs allow her time to post.) She has deserved a LOT of the credit the past seasons for much of the juicy details. Thank YOU Mandy!

We also have about 3 other DWTS DIS detectives who also scour the Internet, social media, blogs & other message boards for details.

What tidbits have any of you heard? Feel free to post any info, pics, gossip, rumors, news you've heard or read.

Who would you like to be on the show?

Who do you hope won't be coming back?


I've heard Maks & Peta have had their baby. (Anyone want to post some pics of the couple & baby?)

Val was seeing Amber Rose for a while. That ended already. (We don't need pics of them. )

YAY! After this season's Bachelor, I have a completely new admiration for DWTS as my fluff t.v. lol. As always, thanks to you and Mandy for all the info!

 

[mandy200587]

OKay okay I'll stop squirreling and post what I know so far!!!!

No derek! Mark is a maybe. Most of the pros are going to be back from last season.

Julianne I think is up in the air because of Move tour. All the other judges are back.

Victor Cruz is a rumored celeb. Possibly a baseball player.

I didn't watch The Bachelor this season as Nick was too scummy for me. I missed all of you gals though. I'll be glad when we are all posting together on Monday nites again.

I read the Ronda Rousey could be a rumor...

well sadly~ if history repeats, you will get to see him doing a scummy salsa on DWTS

Maybe not! I'm not hearing much for him...new producers may shy away from that franchise

 

[Mizzoufan]

I have heard that Ricky Shrocder, Usher, Peyton Manning, Billy Bush, Nick Vail, Barry Weiss, Ashley Benson and Simone Biles.

I hope and pray Tony comes back.

 

[Meriweather]

I would like to see someone I have actually heard of (It sucks being old.....at least for this).
I would love to see Usher though.

I took the Bachelor off my recording list. Didn't miss it in the least.

I keep hoping for Barbara Eden or Billy Crystal

Barbara Eden would be great!! I doubt Billy Crystal would do it

Yuck! Three times on The Bachelor(ette) should be enough. And wasn't he also on Bachelor in Paradise too? Nick has gotten way more than his 15 min of fame.

 

[Imzadi]

I hope and pray Tony comes back.

Ooooh! YES! TONY! TONY! TONY! TONY!

 

[MrsDuck]

Excited to see who is announced!

 

[AppleDumpling]

Barbara Eden would be great!! I doubt Billy Crystal would do it

Don't know what kind of shape she's in, but Barbara Eden is 85, which I believe would make her the oldest contestant thus far.

If they're going to get a sentimental senior, how about Dick Van Dyke? Even if he only lasted the first few weeks, he'd draw a huge fan base.

yeah...I have been hoping for her since the start..when she was young enough to be on~ sniff sniff. I'm just a big fan of hers and would love to see her on tv again. Dick Van Dyke would be a blast!

 

[mandy200587]

Tony is a possibility of coming back as well. I'm almost 95% sure Julianne will be back

 

[mandy200587]

Confirm Julianne back! She'll be flying in on Monday's to judge

 

[AustinTink]

Just watched the last bit of Maks, Peta and baby Shai on GMA. I hope they make it. Love them together.

 

[Arielle22]

I hope Tony is back as well.
