Shawn Johnson will be part of cast for Dancing With The Stars All Stars!
Booo. Where the heck is Mel B?
Sabrina bryan should be included on the list — we shouldn’t have to vote for her — she was one of the most shocking eliminations, it’s really unfair — why are there so many winners? Glad to see Pamela Anderson but rather disappointed with the list — wish mario lopez was there
Mario already said about three months ago he was too busy to do it.
he actually was picked but let it be known before ABC’s official announcement and they removed him for it.
Stars?
get over it… that joke is like 5 years old…
and of all the groups… this one actually has stars… they are all stars on some level in their fields…
Yuk- Palin . Really ? They must have put Palin in for the controversy. Thats a good group. and she is at the bottom of the barrel
Yeah, she’s the Chaz Bono of this season.
Oops.
As well as being bowled over by some of their names I’m also bowled over that I’ve never heard of two thirds of these people.
I am very VERY disappointed that Bristol Palin was included. She ruined the entire season she was in originally, not through any fault of her own, but because she was politically voted into the finals (or semifinals?) even though she was not a very good dancer. I thought they had decided to not have that sort of polarizing personality on the show any more.
That said, I was very disappointed that Marie Osmond is not going to be in this seasons dancers. She was at the top of my list of stars that I would like to see come back, and I was hopefully looking forward to seeing her dance.
As for those I am most delighted to have back that actually made the cut? Kirstie Alley and Apolo Anton Ohno. Fantastic!
Pamela Anderson was absolutely fantastic on the show! She was funny and witty and could actually dance. She deserved to make the finals. I have no idea why America didn’t vote for her. Hope this time she’ll have more luck. Except for Bristol (she’s a nice girl but she couldn’t dance to save her life) it’s a quite nice list of celebrities.
Because she wasn’t better than the Pussycat Doll who won or Erin Andrews and the ice skating fellow who were the finalists.
I agree about Bristol though (meaning I didn’t like the fact that she advanced beyond her “talent”). I don’t think it has anything to do with her but I do know the far right voted her to the finals – and I lean a bit that way myself, but I thought it was stupid to vote for her just because you liked her Mom. (My love for the show actually trumped that!) I actually got banned from some sites arguing with delusional far right folks about that – and of course I was labeled a marxist – I can confidently say the far far right is just as looney as the far left). (But I’m sure some body somewhere thought it would be a good idea ratings wise and she sure is available).
Okay, maybe she wasn’t better than final three but she was definitely better than Chad Ochocinco and Niecy Nash. Therefor she deserved at least making the semi-finals.
100% agreed. Mel B. should have won her season. Why is she not on this list?
I have been a faithful DWTS watcher: every season. I even watched all through the Palin season. But I simply cannot do it again.
what happen you should had sabrina bryan in the lineup. what was you guys thinking when you made the cast up. it’s a shame cuz she was one of the most schockings eliminations ever, it’s ashamed if she does not get another chance to win this time, because she will win this time.
