Dancing with the Stars Season 12

[Kasey]

Will watch for Sugar Ray Leonard and Ralph Macchio...and those probably only on Youtube.

I never write it off from the beginning. You never know.

At least there aren't any screamingly obvious ringers this time (maybe that's why Derek decided to try for a movie career.)

With DisneyChick, it's more when you are under contract to the Mouse and the Mouse says "We need someone on DWTS", you do it. And since they own ABC, they can get you on the show if you really WANT to do it.

I think the Disney kids are popular with producers because they want someone to grab the kids' attention so that the kids will watch with their Moms. And the Disney kids usually want to broaden their audience appeal to a more adult group.

I've read in several sources that Petra will be skating with Dimitry, so I imagine this is true.

Are they skating now?

Are they skating now?

Yes, but roller not ice and only for one of those "special" theme weeks: over-used skating music. Prepare for POTO, Carmen, and Don Quixote!

ETA: (((Maks))) I'm sure he will be wishing he were somewhere in Eastern Europe filming The Bachelor.

Chris Jericho is an excellent wrestler, which is all performance and movement. He also sings in a band and plays guitar and bass, so he's musical too. I think he could do surprisingly well on the show.

[Rob]

Some sites show the DJ paired with Lacey Schwimmer. She tweeted that she is on it so he's the only one left.

Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Wow. So Maks is still being punished for mouthing off to Carrie Ann last season, eh?

certainly seems that way.

[Yazmeen]

Are they skating now?

OOPS! Well, I'm a skater, one track mind!

[skatesindreams]

I'll watch.
If it's a "disaster", I'll find other things to do!

[Rob]

Ralph Macchio is 49?

[orbitz]

I bet people will get tire of Kristy's constant jokes about her weight (she's the designated "funny" one this season), and Wendy will probably go on and on about her curves, big burst and booty.

Kristy does not like to exercise at all. I wonder how she's doing with the daily training, LOL.

I feel the same. Don't know who a bunch of them are. I'll watch initially and hope some prove interesting. Jerry Springer, for instance, was a lot more fun watching than I expected he would be.

I truly hope Wendy Williams doesn't really have a big burst -- at least not on camera!

Since my memory for names seems to be getting worse by the day, I was completely about which Kristy was on DWTS this season (and more than a little embarrassed that I couldn't remember). McNicol? Swanson? I had to go back a page to refresh my memory that it was Kirstie Alley.

I had the same problem, don't worry.

I like Wendy on her show. But she looks like she might break if she moves. Don't know if it is the hair extensions, tatas, tight clothes, high heels but she never leaves her chair and looks straight ahead and keeps brushing her hair out of her face. This will be interesting!
