[Cast list:](http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/08/29/dancing-with-the-stars-2011-2/) I don’t watch, but I was intrigued because of the Henry Winkler rumor. I remember he used to be a pretty good dancer. But he’s not on the list. Chaz Bono Nancy Grace Ricki Lake Rob Kardashian David Arquette Ron Artest Kristin Cavallari J.R. Martinez Hope Solo Elisabetta Canalis Chynna Phillips Carson Kressley ---

Good point in the comments section: Where _is_ the Disney star? No under-20s this season. ---

I don’t know if I will watch it - I love the show but I seriously can’t stand Nancy Grace. ---

I hope Hope (see what I did there? 😉 ) does well. I expect her to because goalies are light on their feet. ---

Nancy Grace–serious ugh factor. I might have to watch just to cheer on Chaz, though. Big guys (except former athletes) are a long shot, but he seems like such a nice guy. ---

I cannot believe that Nancy Grace will last more than a week or two. Given her age, the fact that she’s planning to keep up with her current schedule of TV, etc., and her lack of a fan base [plus many people who loathe her], I really can’t see her making it very far. I hope not, anyway, because I’m incapable of not watching this show. ---

And my money’s on Rikki Lake. ---

I haven’t watched since the first season, but I like Ricki Lake, and I’m curious to see how alpha bitch Nancy Grace responds to taking orders, er, direction from her partner. ---

Carson and Anna are the fun couple to watch this season. New fans will be captivated by Carson’s humor and personality. Check out Carson and Anna in this clip. [http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/dancing-stars-2011-dance-partners-14419226](http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/dancing-stars-2011-dance-partners-14419226) Queer Eye fans may not know Carson was a champion equestrian. That requires a lot of discipline, perfect posture, and staying in rhyme with the horses’s gait, walk,trot,canter or gallop. It is an athletic workout. If I don’t ride for awhile my legs are like rubber after riding. I feel it for several days afterwards. I think Carson will be up for any long practice sessions Anna throws at him. This pair saved the season for me. It’s going to be so much fun watching these two. I only hope he can move those feet as effortlessly as he talks. 😃 ---

The Disney star got knocked up. 😃😃 That darn brother of Miley Cyrus is nothing but trouble. 😛 Thank you, thank you I’ll be here all season.

No Disney star, but we do have the obligatory representation from the Disney machine, daytime drama division. This is what…3 cast members from All My Children? ---

Last season was the first time I ever watched so learning who’s paired up with who doesn’t really tell me anything more, but I sure am going to watch. (Tho I’ll be refering to that list a lot, thnx.) Wonder if Nancy Grace’s hair will move? ---

On the good side, no one strikes me as a ringer. And there’s only one person I haven’t heard of at all ([Elisabetta Canalis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabetta_Canalis) doesn’t even seem to have D-list status. Deuce Bigalow seems to be the highlight of her entertainment career. They don’t even list “model” on wikipedia.) On the bad side, I’m not all that excited about the cast. I’m going to watch, of course, but that’s because I’m a fan of the show, not because I’m a fan of any of the “stars.” I hoped someone slapped some sense into Mark during the off season. ---
