Dancing With the Stars - Spring 2017

[mandy200587]

IKWYM~ but I guess since others have been on ~ Sabrina (Cheetah Girl's)Drew Lachey, Mel B., Lance Bass...all of them I *guess* fall into the same grey area..I would need to look up her bio but seems like she kinda falls more into the *I was more of a dancer* career than actor

She danced backup for 3 years with Beyoncé. Been dancing since she was 2. She's the most experienced out of everyone they have probably have imo

Ugh. I wish she was with someone other than M-M-Maks. I really don't like semi-pro dancers as stars on the show.

Why?

Who picks the pairs? They always feel "scripted"

 

[AustinTink]

Charo AND Mr. T?? It's an extra cheesy season of DWTS. I love it!

 

[AustinTink]

I'm interested to see what Chris Kattan can do. I always liked him on SNL.

not going to watch it this year stopped watching it after Riker Lynch did not win i have a lot of troubles with that season so i just stopped after that and this line up i only know of one the rest i have no idea who they are.

I love dancing so I'm watching.

Not to change the subject but then it's not really changing it cause it's in regards to a past contestant. I watched the season opener of Little Women LA today. Tara developed two hernias on her C section incision from dancing during last season. I don't know how many weeks into the competition she developed them but I guess her doctors thought she would be okay.

I watched that too. She started dancing 3 weeks after a C section. That was just asking for a hernia to develop!

The Stars - confirmed on GMA:

Simone Biles - Olympic gold medalist gymnast
Heather Morris - actress, singer on Glee
Normani Kordei - singer, Fifth Harmony
Nancy Kerrigan - Olympic bronze medalist figure skater
Erika Jayne - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Chris Kattan - former Saturday Night Live comedian
Charo - comedian, actress, singer
Bonner Bolton - model & bull rider
Rashad Jennings - NFL football player, formerly NY Giants & Oakland Raiders
Mr. T - former actor on The A-Team and Rocky 3
David Ross - retired Chicago Cubs catcher
Nick Viall - currently The Bachelor

DW mistakenly told me that it was Tonya Harding, not Nancy Kerrigan, who would be appearing. I thought, good, now Nancy can whack Tonya on the kneecaps with a tire iron.

As for Charo, how old is she now? Did she legally take another 10 years off her age?

 

[mandy200587]

i'm going to withhold judgements but i can already see heather grating my nerves just from interviews. I also am going to miss Derek and Mark, they bring something that I don't see others don't.

I think Heather's biggest competition is Simone Biles, the gymnast and the football player. (Football players usually do well - probably from running through truck tires all the time.)

The stars can request who they'd like to dance with. But the final decision is always up to the producers.

 

[mandy200587]

I believe Simone requested Sasha

I wonder if the show will hire extra security for Nancy, just in case someone wants to do a repeat tire iron smashing? After idiots came into the audience to confront & yell at Ryan Lochte, someone else might be crazy enough to want his 15 minutes of fame by running from the audience to go after Nancy again.

 

[Imzadi]

I believe Simone requested Sasha

Usually the best "contender" or most famous star does get the pro they want.

Tony always got the worst female.

ok so being a HUGE Cubs fan I follow David Ross on Twitter, which led me to Lindsay's Twitter. She looked different to me in recent pic's and I thought it was her lips, upper specifically. Then I saw she asked for folks to follow her Dad, Dr. Arnold~ injection trainer/specialist.Mystery solved. Also, For those that don't know David Ross' walk up song was "Forever Young", lol....guess Lindsay's Dad can help him stay that way if he chooses

Heather really is a fully fledged professional dancer! She auditioned for SYTYCD in 2006 and made it through to the last round before the live shows before becoming a backup dancer for Beyoncé and in a few TV shows and movies. She ended up on Glee by chance - the choreographer had worked with her before and brought her on set to teach the cast the Single Ladies dance and while she was there they happened to need another cheerleader and asked her to fill in. She was predominantly on the show as a dancer and didn't even sing for several seasons. I actually quite like Heather but think it's absolutely ridiculous that she is on the show as a celebrity and not a professional!
