It’s never to early to start the thread!
The cast will be announced Monday, but rumored participants include Henry Winkler, Chaz Bono, and Elizabetta Whatsherface (the Italian model George Clooney just dumped).
Henry Winkler? They’re just asking for Jumping the Shark jokes, aren’t they?
I have to save my, “who the fuck are these people,” lines until MONDAY? My interest ran out two minutes ago.
ETA: After a couple of seasons the dancers started being more famous than the stars. It has truly jumped the shark.
I’ve heard there’s supposed to be three new pros this season. Mak’s brother Val just announced his retirement from competition and is joining dwts. Peta and Tristan from last seasons dance troupe are supposed to be pros this season. dwtsgossip has been busy reporting this.
That means a few pros won’t be on. Dmitry and Chelsie are two rumored to be out this season. Derek has announced he’s back. My favorite Anna barely got in at the last minute.
All just gossip and guesses from clues until Monday’s announcement.
Derek is back? Woo hoo! Lovely personality, and far and away the best choreographer ever. (Sorry, Maks.)
TMZ caught David Arquette meeting Kym. Hope Solo goofed and tweeted Mak’s about a rehearsal Sunday. The tweet was deleted but not before dwtsgossip RT and saved it.
Hope is American soccer goalkeeper for the MagicJack pro team. I’m sure Mak’s is excited to have another athlete this time. Someone that knows how to train seven hours a day.

It’s official:
Ricki Lake (wasn’t she on already?)
Ron Artest (L.A. Laker)
Kristin Cavalieri (reality starlet)
Chynna Phillips
David Arquette
Carson Cressley
Well, there’s the first half, anyway.
So two gender-whatever participants, if the Chaz Bono rumors are true.
I hope Mark Ballas isn’t on this season. He just drove me crazy last season.
StG
Nancy Grace. Aiiiiiiiiiiii!
J.R. Martinez (soap star)
Hope Solo (soccer)
Rob Kardashian
Elisabetta Canellis
Chaz Bono
Now I HAVE to watch, because of Chaz, Chyna, Riki & Nancy. At least I’ve never seen the Bachelor.
And I’ll try to ignore the fact that the Kardashian clan has infiltrated yet another show…
(See? Only three elipiseseses. I can learn. lol)
I don’t usually watch this, but now I may have to. Chaz Bono is a big guy; it may be difficult for him. And Nancy Grace! I don’t know all of the people who will be on it, but I know enough of them for it to be interesting.
Ugh. It’s Dancing with the Nobodies. The biggest names are probably Ricki Lake and Ron Artest. They were scraping the bottom of the barrel last year; this year, they broke through the bottom and are digging in the dirt beneath it.
I recognize more names this time around than I have the last two seasons!
Yeah, he’s definitely taking himself a little too seriously these days. No, Mark, you’re not too good for DWTS.
Partnerships will be announced tomorrow – can’t wait to see which of the rumors are true!
And, BTW, GLAAD gives the cast a thumbs up.
Last year was my first time ever watching this show. I enjoyed it a lot, so I’ll be watching this year. I think the cast is…interesting. I don’t care much for Nancy Grace, she’s so strident. Just drives me fucking insane. Artest has a bad reputation too. I’m anxious to see if I hate them less after watching them on the show. It did work that way last year with Wendy Williams. I still have no interest in watching her show, but I do dislike her less. When does the show start?
In three weeks (Sept. 19).
Except it’s four at the end of a sentence, since you include the period.
twickster: OP, mod, and professional editor
Ricki Lake could be the season surprise. At one time she was one heck of a actress and entertainer. She danced in Hairspray.
I hope all those wasted years on talk shows didn’t dull her talents.
Chyna Phillips still looks amazing.
