Joey Fatone, Gilles Marini, Melissa Rycroft, Pamela Anderson, Kelly Monaco, Shawn Johnson, Kirstie Alley, Helio Castroneves, Drew Lachey, Emmitt Smith, Apolo Ohno and Bristol Palin.
The new All Star cast was just announced and I must say I am a little disappointed.
- Stacy Kiebler isn't back which means no George Clooney in the audience (womp womp)
- It is mostly old winners who haven't had their name in the spotlight back to get their name back out there. For example Kelly Monaco and Pamela Anderson. Really? Did Holly Madison say no?
- Love all the athletes but confused why they are all back. Every athlete who has ever won is back to compete. I get that it is Olympic season but instead of doing an All Star cast, just do a All-Star Athlete season.
- Shawn Johnson retired from gymnastics from injury but now can do All Stars? Gold metals looks better in the trophy case than a disco ball trophy. Just Sayin'
- Finally, I get a Season 8 rematch. I really want to see who makes it longer Gilles, Melissa, and Shawn may the best reign!
- Gilles Marini is back on the dance floor. Be still my beating heart! (swoon)
- WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY on all good things in this world is Pain in my side back. The second I heard her name, I had a 3 year old temper tantrum because I heard Pain in my butt Palin is doing DWTS All stars. GO AWAY. You already have your reality show. You have what you wanted. Why do you have to make me go through the misery AGAIN? Maybe this time a round America is going to do the right thing.
The twist of this season is that there is a viewers vote for the 13th contestant. I can handle that! Drum roll please....Sabrina Bryan, Carson Kressley or Kyle Massey. All I know is that I am still grieving over Sabrina getting let go so early in the game Season 5. I know, I know I hold grudges. I get it but she was one of the best dancers they probably ever had on the show! If she doesn't win this mini vote, I am going to have to grieve all over again. So please save me the agony and vote Sabrina! The winner will be announced on Aug. 27 on Good Morning America.
See you back on Sept. 24th for all the dancing action!
