They’ve announced the line-up: [linky.](http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=209289)

Whaddya think – any chance the second season will be at all good? It was the out-of-nowhere cheesy goodness of season one that was so fun – now that they know they have a hit, can they make magic again?

I can’t bring myself to watch, after the fraudulent judging in the first season finale. I’d feel like a sucker.

If they changed the scoring system, I’d watch, but it looks like they’re sticking with the original – a combination of professional judging and audience votes.

I could be convinced to change my mind though. 🙂 If none of the competitors have a connection with ABC, maybe.

Have you heard about Fox’s “[Skating With Celebrities](http://www.fox.com/skating/)?” A blatant ripoff, to be sure, but I’m a figure skating fan so I’ll probably watch it … they got Kurt Browning! 🙂

No such luck. 80% of ESPN is owned by ABC, which bodes well for Kenny Mayne.

I think I’ll watch it more this season thanks to the Stacy Keibler factor. She’s not just the leggiest blonde around, but she got her start on WCW Nitro as winner of the find-the-new-Nitro-Girl competition, so she’s already got dance experience.

And legs. Did I mention her incredible legs?

Mmmmm…legs…

If I have to look at Lisa ‘Big Lips’ Rinna, no way. She ruined Melrose Place for me!
