I am predicting the final 2 to be Misty and Max based on the Olympics exposure and the overall feel good factor and Cody/Julianne based on the tweens vote. I see Susan being another Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but Ladytex is right to be wary of how far her fan base will carry her. Congrats to Helio for winning the race this weekend! Sorry Jason that my Panthers hurt your knee Saturday night, my first thought was that I hope he is able to dance again, LOL!

VACA! Dangit... you did it again... I live in the Redskins viewing area - Jason Taylor getting injured was like the shot heard around the world. I was worried about his dancing too... on the field, LOL.

Fiat, there is a hystercial show on E called "The Soup". If you haven't seen it, the host, whenever he talks about Kim Kardashian says it this ways... Kim Kardashian, famous for having a big a$$ and a sex tape, did such and such. LOL

He has big recognition from anyone who has kids who watch Hannah Montana. He seems like a pretty personable guy but we'll see if he can learn to dance and how he acts on the show. Julianne seems to be a great teacher and has a great personality so they may be well matched.

How about calling it "Dancing with the D-List" and Kathy Griffin can host!

I am loving this cast. Looks like lots of fun. I like the variety of people they get. Oh and getting Kathy Griffin instead of that one host girl would be awesome.

Well, if Kathy Griffin was the host I would not watch. But if DWTS doesn't start upping the quality of their contestants I don't foresee them being around a lot longer anyway.

I don't think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are available for this show.

I think I'd pay money to see Brad dancing the tango. I'd probably even pay money to see Angelina dancing the tango. I think now I've got to know the pros, I'd watch DWTS whoever the guests are. Most seasons there are only a handful of celebs I know anyway.

I've noticed there is a lot of talk about how this seasons "stars" don't qualify as "stars". So, I did a little research. I pulled up each season and looked over the list of "stars" that were on each. I can't see where this season has any less "stars" than any of the previous.

According to the Chicago sun-times, Kardashian has been a diva, Rocco has been horrible, Misty's husband actually convinced her to do the show, and Lance agreed to do it even before they finished pitching the show to him. Susan is a big fan of the show but has been worried about if she has the stamina to do all the back and forth (AMC Tapes in NYC- DWTS is in LA). Susan is going to have a big fall regardless...She's going to be celebrating 10,000 episodes with AMC in November, and I'd suspect she'll still be on DWTS then (she has a huge fanbase- so long as the judges scores are decent, her fans will keep her in.)

I remember when watching The View (Rosie's season) Susan Lucci mentioned that she had been asked more than once to appear. She said that she always declined because of the the time it would require. This was even before Cameron M appeared.

Imbewitched, I think the problem is that some of us continue to hope every season that this will be the one where they get real stars. We're always disappointed, but we just keep on hoping next season will be different. Real stars probably don't have the time to do a show like this. Even the D-list stars seem to have umpteen projects going on while they do this show. Imagine what it would be like for an A-list star. Maybe if the show had remained a summer series they could've caught some people during the hiatus, but in the fall and spring it's no wonder nobody's available. I predict Susan Lucci will make it to around the final three or four based on number of fans, but won't win. Kelly Monaco did have the GH fans voting, but she was also able to put in a few impressive performances along the way (even if she wasn't the best) to win over the judges. Susan Lucci will have to be a lot more flexible than the other older contestants have been in order to make it to the end. They always seem to struggle with the Latin dances. Speaking of older contestants, Cloris Leachman? Wow. That should be interesting. Eighty-two years old. She'll probably steal the show.

Anyone remember the old show "Circus of the Stars"? Or even Battle of the Network Stars (or something like it) back in the early 80's? Those were cool and from what I recall as a kid had "real" stars. Of course, at the time the kid who played Nicholas on Eight is Enough was a big star to me. lol.

Lacey Schwimmer? Are they kidding me? She'll be with Lance Bass. She' the only one I'm not excited about, though. IMO, she is a camera hog and loves to look at herself in mirrors, windows,rain puddles...

I just noticed that Lacey would be one of the professionals. Hmmm... it will be interesting to see if she realizes she's supposed to highlight the "star" and not herself. I'm doubtful.

Mame, thanks for sharing that Youtube of Cloris Leachman...what a 'STAR' in the real sense. I'm going to be firmly in her corner cheering her on. I've always been a huge fan of hers and have seen about everything she's ever done. I remember one TV movie where she played the mother of a savant who played concert piano. The name Lempke comes to mind as the boy/man who was so talented. She did a bang-up job in that movie. I'll have to go check to see if she got one of her Emmys for that part.
