I'm SO excited for Apolo, Kirstie, Pam, & Shawn!!

[BaileyCatts]

Holy crap! This is confirmed?! Who the hell am I gonna vote for!! I'll have to split my votes like 6 or 7 different ways!

[peibeck]

Helio.

[MR-FAN]

WOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!! Great list!!!!!

[ChelleC]

Great list!!! No idea who I'm voting for.

[numbers123]

Why is Bristol on the list

[Jenna]

Why is Bristol on the list

Ratings of course.

list !

[Garden Kitty]

Shawn's excited!

Helio, Apolo, Giles, Emmit - I don't care who else is on, I'm watching! Although I'm not buying into Melissa Rycroft as an all star. Overall I think they did a better job of attracting more interesting men than women this season. I'd have loved to see Kristi return.

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Apolo is back!

Great, now I'm gonna have to watch again. I hope Julianne would come back to dance with him. I'll be very disappointed otherwise.

[skatesindreams]

These are the people I want to see again:

Apolo Anton Ohno
Gilles Marini
Kirstie Alley

The rest - not as much.
However, I understand why they were asked.

Isn't there a "people's choice" TBA, also.

[Fridge_Break]

According to Wikipedia, the people's choice (13th contestant) is between Kyle Massey, Sabrina Bryan, and Carson Cressley, but I have no idea when that vote will be taking place.

ETA: I know that Julianne was contacted about appearing on this season. She said she really wants to, but it's going to be difficult with her schedule. I hope she works it out, because she really helped bring out the best in Apolo (and Helio as well)!

[Rob]

Apolo Anton Ohno Yay
Bristol Palin Boo
Drew Lachey Tired of him
Emmitt Smith Yay his was the only season I stopped watching at the end
Gilles Marini YAY, YAY, YAY
Helio Castroneves Meh
Joey Fatone Meh
Kelly Monaco Ugh she was so awkward
Kirstie Alley Yay
Melissa Rycroft I liked her last time
Pamela Anderson Yay
Shawn Johnson Yay


Ok, I wanted Kristi, Kelly Osborne, Kyle Massey, and Jason Taylor, but I guess I can't have everything and I wanted GILLES!!!!!! Oh, and I also wanted Mel B.

So they have to have different partners to some extent. Cheryl has 3, Mark 2, Julianne 2. And would Damian be back on?

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

3 of those guys were Cheryl's partners. I wonder which one she's gonna dance with?

I'd prefer Drew.

[Rogue]

Ratings of course.

list !

Couldn't be that. Bristol's reality show on Lifetime tanked, so she's obviously not a big ratings draw.

Regarding partners, it would not be fair to match someone up with the pro they had before. So I'm assuming Cheryl won't be matched with any of her three prior partners.

[skatesindreams]

I hope for Gilles/Cheryl.

[Rob]

My pairings:
Apolo Anton Ohno Chelsie
Bristol Palin Mark
Drew Lachey Anna
Emmitt Smith Peta
Gilles Marini Cheryl
Helio Castroneves Karina
Joey Fatone Kym
Kelly Monaco Derek
Kirstie Alley Maks
Melissa Rycroft Tony
Pamela Anderson Tristan
Shawn Johnson Val (too tall?)

My vote:
Kyle Massey Lacey

[screech]

Where the hell is Mel B?

But Gilles is there! Gilles has my vote, no questions asked.

As for Bristol - it's an election year. The hardcore Republicans need someone to vote for every week without having to watch the show.

[skatingfan5]

Where the hell is Mel B?

At the moment, probably in London, getting ready for the Spice Girls reunion act in the Olympics closing ceremonies. Not sure why she isn't one of the All Stars cast, but I'm happy that some of the ones I wanted to see again are, as is one who I never saw the first time around -- Gilles!

[Spareoom]

EVERYONE VOTE FOR KYLE! Dude needs to be on my TV screen again.

Rockin' cast; super excited, lol. ABC looks to have hit a home run with this one...I'll love everyone so much that I won't know who to vote for, lol!

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

I'll love everyone so much that I won't know who to vote for, lol!

If Julianne does come back and she's paired with Apolo (as it should be!), I'll totally power vote for them.

If not, I'll wait and see which team I like the best.
