I have never watched the show, but I am always interested in the cast for some reason.

Older personality- Eliot Gould  
Football player/ex-jock- Charles Barkley  
Soap star - Donna Mills  
Former teen idol- Screech  
Olympic athlete - Usain Bolt  
Pop singer - Alanis Morrisette  
Pin-up girl - Brooklyn Decker  
Curvy/heavy girl - Busy Phillips  
Reality star - Ty Pendleton  
Younger star (usually Disney related)- Selena Gomez  
Business/News Celeb - Bill O’Reilly  
Comedian/Comic Actor - David Cross

A FEW “other” candidates:

Steve Bartman (Chicago goat)  
Ken Jennings (Jeopardy god)  
William Hung (She Bangs!)  
Kato Kaelin (OJ’s Leech)  
Carrie Prejean (Miss California of controversy)

Older personality - **Chevy Chase** (probably still too big a star, though)

Football player/ex-jock - **Troy Aikman** (I don’t think he’d ever do it, but we’ve had Smith and Irvin, so Aikman would complete the Cowboys “Triplet” trifecta)

Soap star - no clue

Former teen idol - **Elizabeth Berkley** (Mario Lopez’s \*Saved By The Bell \*costar)

Olympic athlete - gymnast **Shannon Miller** , or her teammate **Kerri Strug**

Pop singer - **Jessica Simpson** (has the tie-in of being the former sister-in-law of past winner Drew Lachey)

Pin-up girl - **Ali Landry** (former Miss USA, but any thirty-something hetero guy would immediatly recognizer her as “The Doritos Girl”)

Curvy/heavy girl - I’d like to see **Ricki Lake** on DWTS, though apparently she may no longer fit this category.

Reality star - **Boston Rob** , of \*Survivor \*and _The Amazing Race_ fame, or **Paris Hilton** (c’mon, you know she’s going to be on DWTS sooner or later)

Younger star (usually Disney related) - no clue, maybe **Miley Cyrus**?

Business/News Celeb - **Geraldo Rivera**

Comedian/Comic Actor - **Kathy Griffin** (she would not be afraid to dish on her fellow contestants), or **Michael Richards** (a gifted physical comedian, could he translate that to dancing?)
