Len will not be coming back as a permanent judge. This was the statement that was made:

Len will not be returning as a judge this season on Dancing with the Stars due to his schedule as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK and the birth of his new grandson. He still might be involved in the season at some capacity, but we will have to wait and see. We are planning on having great guest judges for some shows to join Bruno, Carrie Ann and Julianne, and I’m sure we will see Len in the ballroom again soon.

I'm sad that Tony won't be back this season. I wonder who wil be head judge now that Len gone?

I also wish they would announce all the stars at one time.

 

[scdak]

OP - you have made my day by saying Derek is back!

 

[mandy200587]

I don't think all pros have been announced. There's usually way more then that.

I think we'll know all of it sept 2nd

OH! I am so excited to watch her! PLEASE don't let her be paired with shimmy shimmy Mark.....I know he is very talented and awesome thematics/great with the teens, but ....and why do I have a feeling she *might* be partnered with Derek?
Thanks, as always Imzadi~ for starting the thread have fun at the Shore

Actually, I got all the info, except this morning's announcement about Bindi, from Mandy, who researched it all. She will also be helping to compile the list of stars being announced this week while I'm gone.

Thanks Mandy!

Thanks! I'd love to go down one more time after this week. But, I think this will end up being my last time at the beach till next summer. Because of the climate change, the last couple of years, Sept has turned into such an iffy month with hurricanes heading up the coast now.

 

[mandy200587]

they said in place of Len there would be guest judges so ladies maybe we'll get our brother cure that way.


Also I'd probably accept some talk in the season here and there about juliannes engagement

I'm glad it made someone's day, LOL.

I'm "in" for another season .

 

[mandy200587]

I want to see more of Sasha, he's a hoot to follow on Instagram.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Anyone heard any rumors of Demi Moore being on the new cast

 

[mandy200587]

I've not heard that rumor. I've heard: nick carter, nick Jonas, Bachelorette, shay Mitchell

 

[Mizzoufan]

I will have to google Shay Mitchell. No clue who that is

 

[mandy200587]

She's on pretty little liars

 

[Mizzoufan]

She's on pretty little liars

I'm probably they only person not to watch that show.

 

[mom2febgirls]

I'm sad that Len is going Even though he can be a grumpy pants I think he brings alot to the show. I like to be entertained but I also like to learn about the different dances and I'm afraid the other 3 judges are all about the entertainment and less about the technical.

Nope I don't watch it either.

I'm going to miss Len as well.

 

[mandy200587]

There's a rumor this is going to be a mixed cast....aka half old ones in former of all star and some new ones.
