The upcoming cycle of Dancing With The Stars will be an all-star edition, ABC president Paul Lee announced during the network’s press call this morning. “We’re bringing fan favorites from the past 14 seasons,” Lee said. He added that casting has already started but wouldn’t elaborate on which former celebrity contestants the network is targeting. The move comes after steep declines for the venerable reality franchise this season.

I hate NBC for programming the voice opposite dancing. But my wish list is : Lil Kim (with Derek), mario lopez, stacy kiebler, sabrina bryan,
Yes, DWTS needs to move RESULTS show back to 9pm, and then start HE and APT 23 2 or 3 weeks in. With an all-star edition, they can do the 8pm hour as highlights, b/c people will want to see the most they can of these all-stars.
Wish list for all-stars: Mario Lopez, Joanna Krupa, Stacie Keibler, Sabrina Bryan, Joey Fatone, Kyle Massey, Chelsie Kane, Warren Sapp, Mel B, Joey Lawrence, Pam Anderson, Lisa Rinna.
It is not NBC’s fault, if DWTS would use the old noodle for creating a better show instead of spreading trash talk and sex hook ups with the pros, they would fair much better.
DWTS pitfall IS THE sex hook ups and trash talk, if they would update the standards of the show all would fair better and ratings would return to them but THEY insist on putting the show standards in the toilet and flushing!
I want to see Mel B….Donny Osmand…. Drew Lachey…and defiantly Jennifer Gray….. The judges keep saying this season that this was the best season..did they forget about HER??? she was AWESOME???? I Loved her…..bring back the best and bring back MAX best personality EVER on your show
Stars I’d like to see:
Stacy Kiebler, Mario Lopez, Mel B, Gilles Marini, Christian De La Fuentes, Mya
Stars I DON’T want to see:
Master P, Chaz, Tucker Carlson, Bristol Palin, Kate Gosselin
Totally agree with NOT bringing back the worst contestant EVER…B. Palin!! If this happens, this fan is done watching your show, or supporting your sponsors!
I totally agree! Please don’t bring back trolls like K8 Gosselin or Bristol Palin.
If you are bringing back “all” past winners, please match them with different dance pro’s.
I’d like to see dancers that came in 2nd & 3rd ( the almost winners) compete too…and might I add, bring back Louis Van Amstel,Lacey Schwimmer,and add (from SYTYCD) some of their All Stars as Pros…
AND ONE MORE SUGGESTION, Por Favor…
Please trade Ms. Burke-Chevrolet in for someone who has better interviewing skills…Maria Menonous (sp) has a dynamic personality,Sherry Sheppard or even Carson Kressley would be better as he has personality and panash!
Thank You!
I am so tired of the NFL players winning whether they have talent or not. Do you Americans not understand that a “Melissa Gilbert” can not hold up to a PACKER PLAYER??? What is wrong with you. How many people watch the superbowl” ANYONE???? DUH….nobody can compete with their votes….think about it ABC You aren’t being fair to the other dancers…. they aren’t going to pull the votes that a GREEN BAY packer contestant can. It’s ridiculous to think so… I have been a fan of this show from the beginning but I’m getting sick of the contestant that has an overwhelming advantage over talent. And the panel needs to have a save like american idol does. Maria Mueonous (sorry bout sp?) She was one of the best dancers and got voted out over the rest….just like Mel B ridiculous. I may stop watching as many of others are saying also. Sick & tired of seeing amatuer dancers that are staying when others are being voted off….. Get serious or I’m OUT
I thought Mel B was horrific, or maybe it’s the sleazy pro she was hooked up with
I also thought Melissa was carted around like dead driftwood
Katherine jenkins should have won
Kyle Massey !
I think Kyle Massey should be on he is very good
I have watched every single season of “Dancing with the Stars” but I’m gonna skip this one. What a cheap ploy to get higher ratings. The thing is it won’t bring them, the ratings will decline even more. People don’t want to see contestants they already saw, they want to see new faces. Get actual C- and D-listers, do not scrap the bottom of barrel. Get rid of the old judges and get a new female co-host. That’s all.
Here here!!
I hope they bring back Christian De La Fuente, Joey Lawrence, Gilles Marini and Jake Pavelka.
Well, Jake, begin to hate ABC too. Because the network moved Dancing to 8:00 on Tuesday AGAINST THE VOICE. So in this cast Its not NBC’s fault.
I want to see Marie Osmund and Kelly Osborne dance again.
Kelly Monaco + Kirstie Alley!
Bet John O’Hurley is nowhere to be found. Who can blame him?
This just reeks of deperation. The only reason the ratings for DWTS have been down in the past couple of seasons is because they refuse to cast actual stars on the show. Of course there’re not going to get the likes of Kidman or Clooney on the show but there are plenty of major names in film and sport would have continuously approached the producers about doing the show (stars who have more star power individually than the entire resultant casts combined) and are constantly rejected. I wouldn’t be surprised if this all-star gimmick (just like a lot of the gimmicks they’ve been trotting out with this show this season) results in the show not being picked up the following season. Oh well. Nice while it lasted.
Lance Bass!
Kirstie Alley!
Kristin Cavallari!
SHe’s pregnant don’t think she’ll be doing the show this next season.
Kelly Monaco, DWTS done her so dirty the year she won. I’ve watch every year DWTS has been on. DWTS acts like she wasn’t even the winner of the show. If it hadn’t been for her I wouldn’t have even watched that first year.
Talk about over-exposing a brand!
I would love to see Lil Kim back in the show.
Lil’ Kim will be great to be back she was robbed .
I would love to see Kelly Monaco,J.R,Kirstie,Mario.
Joey Fattone, Jennifer Gray, Marie Osmond, Donny Osmond, Mario Lopez, Kelly Osborne, Joey Lawrence
They can try all they want but DWTS needs not to bring old contestants back but to have a better voting system and some work on the judges. All my friends agree after Tues. elimination of Maria they have lost interest in show and not even going to watch the finals. People vote for the wrong reason, hottie cuban or a kardashian that has no talent. Goodbye DWTS
Yes totally correct thinking.
Never got so annoyed about Carrie Ann’s hottie cuban crap and the UK queen in the wrong show.
The ratings could just bottom out the all star season.
I for one of many am not tuning in for the re-do season of “Those were robbed of the win”
DWTS get it please get it!
Trashy D-Bag hook ups and filty dancing is just burning out the show’s audience.
Instead focus on the elegance, beauty, femine, artistry of “DANCING”
i want to see maria menousos, kirstie, mario, anton , donney osmond
Would love to see Evan Lysicek again! He would have won that season had it not been for Nicole Scherzinger.
I would like to see John O’Hurley, George Hamilton, Kirstie Alley, Mel B, Ted McGintley, Stacey Keibler, Lisa Rina.
I think Gilles is PERFECT for this. Also to have Krist Yamaguchi would be great.
Please bring back Gilles Marini, Mario Lopez, Joey Lawrence, Joey Fatone, Nick Lachey.
