I wish it was Ross Lynch. DD will be excited though!

 

[Amy]

Well, the only ones I've heard of are Patti LaBelle, Suzanne Somers and Robert Herjavec. To be honest, I didn't think Suzanne Somers was still alive. Patti LaBelle is in her 70's, so I guess she'll be this season's "old" contestant. Robert Herjavec should be interesting - I love him on Shark Tank; wonder what kind of dancer he is?

 

[sharona]

I won't be watching due to lack of anyone interesting this season and no Maks.

C'mon DWTS, less creepy Mark Ballas and more Maks and Tristan!

 

[JanaDee]

They are really stretching the definition of "star". I'm not interested in any of those people. Oh well, another season we won't be watching.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I am not impressed.

So I will say skill wise, Nastia Liukin has the best shot.

Robert Herjavek--I don't see as a dancer. Would have preferred Damon (sp?) or Mr Wonderful (to humble himself).

Heard of several of the other celebs--but no idea how they will do. It's almost disappointing in a jump the shark kind of way.

An Olympic medal winner in gymnastics seems like unfair competition once again. Glad to see Derek this season though.

 

[Meriweather]

Glad to see Kym back!!

Whitney is to be one of the pros.......her celebrity not announced yet?

I'm skipping too. i skipped last season so I was really hoping to see some people I'd be interested in.

 

[undertheradar]

Looks like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for "stars."

 

[Imzadi]

Glad to see Kym back!!

Whitney is to be one of the pros.......her celebrity not announced yet?

No, he will be a surprise for later.

The Lynch kids are some of those actor/dancer/singer Disney kids so I see some competition there.

 

[sharona]

Most of their fans are tweens, my own 12 year old included, and they are in bed by the time voting starts.

 

[Jennasis]

Poor Mark Ballas. Stuck with another child and therefor stuck with sunshine and lollipop performances.

 

[lynxstch]

Another season I won't bother watching!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Poor Mark Ballas. Stuck with another child and therefor stuck with sunshine and lollipop performances.

Oh wow! She is only 14. You are right.

 

[mandy200587]

I'm curious to see some of them dance. If nothing else the show fills a Monday night tv void. Also didn't Redfoo judge last season?

 

[Imzadi]

Poor Mark Ballas. Stuck with another child and therefor stuck with sunshine and lollipop performances.

But, he did some special solo dance a couple seasons ago. Turns out his background dancers belong to some young group of dancers he is mentoring. So, maybe this age group is really his thing?
