Msbullwnkl, I was just thinking Erin might be pretty good. I hope she does well. So it seems there will be 6 women and 5 men. I wonder why they did an odd number this year.

I'm going to pick Evan as this year's winner. And I'm going to vote for Buzz the first weeks in hopes that Kate is out first and Jake out second!

The thing to me is, we have two definite "ringers" (Nicole and Evan), one with dancing experience (Erin, although it was in a college dance team), and the other ones are wildcards. A lot will depend on the pairings, but if one of those three (Nicole, Evan, and Erin) doesn't win I'd be shocked. As to built-in fanbases: Evan has an advantage because of the Olympics, plus figure skaters do very well on the show. If there are a lot of guys watching with their wives and/or girlfriends, Erin will have a fanbase (because of her ESPN connection, and likely a little bit because of the scandal she had). Kate has her fans, but she also has detractors. It'll depend a lot on which side of the whole Jon/Kate mess you were on. Nicole has some fans, but also detractors (especially if they don't like her diva attitude- none of the other PCD members will vote for her, that's for sure-two of them quit the group in the past two weeks). Pamela should have some fans, but it might depend on her partner. Shannen has been out of the eye for a while, so she's a wildcard- her partner will be key. Jake will live or die based on the Bachelor fans. If his partner is well-liked, that will help. Aiden will depend on soap fans, and who his partner is. Chad should do OK, he's a known NFL player, and he's done some antics in the past (Ochocinco is not his original last name- he change it because he wears the number 85). His partner will be key as well. Buzz ans Niecy? two words for both of them- "cannon fodder". If they get the right partners, they might get past the first couple of weeks, but probably not much more.

Niecy Nash and Chad Ochocinco crack me up. At least there will be some entertainment. Don't know who's worse Kate Gosslin or Jake Pavelka. I think Kate is more polarizing than Shannon ... at least on this board. We may need a Kate-free zone to keep us non worshippers from doing regular vomiting. Evan should be good ... hopefully he'll come sans hair grease. Nicole will probably be very good, as well. Erin, too. Buzz? Resident Geezer, Pam? Uh, ok. Don't know Aiden from boo, so I'll reserve on that one.

I hope Evan doesn't dance with the same hair style he had for skating!!! Shiny, greasy looking. Ugh.

Maybe we can have an attack free zone and call it even? I tend to feel somewhat queasy when on show after show people have to worship someone for their physique, but that's their choice People kinda have to be able to express their feelings about those involved (and even, amazingly enough, about their dancing), pro and con as long as it doesn't lapse into namecalling or bashing and doesn't involve trashing other posters. If Kate is on the show, then it is hardly a Kate free zone, no?

I've witnessed enough Kate worshipping to last me a lifetime so I'll third a Kate-free zone too

Let's remember that it is NOT okay to criticize the opinions of other posters, and that includes saying that their opinions make you want to vomit. So there will NOT be a "Kate-free" zone. Believe it or not, some people might not like YOUR opinions about some things either. So, drop it, and be polite and respectful. As always if there are posts you don't agree with, or that make you queasy, just ignore them.

Tishala! A pox on you for even thinking the lovely Derek might suffer such a fate. That would just be TOO much to bear for this girl. I hope they pair her with the outspoken Russian dude who takes no prisoners. I don't remember his name but he's the one who definitely takes control of his partner, teh-hee.

Tishala stated: I pray my darling Derek doesn't get paired with she-who-will-not-be-named. Oh noooo. I hadn't even thought of that. Please don't let it be Maks or Derek...please. I'll be very curious to see this year's ratings. Will they reflect the choices the producers made for the 'stars?'

LOL. Is that his name, Ladytex? I just remember him in practice and he just cut right through any bs his partner was dishing. And crocodile tears have no effect on him whatsoever. Just think, this season might end up being better than we could ever imagine, tee-hee

Hnnm Derek seems kinda young for any of the women in those pictures. Not sure which one is actually the youngest and too lazy to look them all up. Also not sure of heights of any of the contestants and how the pros match up with them. Without knowing those figures I'd have paired Derek with Shannon or Erin, but Maks and Shannon or Neicy? But really, no idea. Have they said when they will announce the pairings?

Huh- Kate's only about three weeks younger than I am (my birthdays this Friday)- I thought she was a little younger than that actually (like a year or two). Erin actually shares my brother's birthday..

Haven't seen The Bachelor yet so came here to see who was on (was scared to look anywhere else lol). WOW I'm stunned that Aiden Turner is on. For those of you that don't know him, he is GORGEOUS, funny, has a charming combo au/uk acct and he used to be on All My Children. With AMC on the West Coast now I'm stunned they aren't using someone in the current cast. Well maybe they are thinking of bringing him back, which would be fine by me. He's got a really nice, fun personality so I can see him winning people over IF he can dance! As for the rest of the cast...YAWN! And I'm not sure I can stomach Kate Gosselin on here. I think she's FAR worse than Shannon Dougherty. Least Shannan hsa some talent. All Kate does is annoy me and yell at everyone. BLECH I just can't stand her at all. Am I wrong or does it seem like more women than men? oh wait just saw Sea's list it is (but only by one but still). I don't see myself spending a lot of time voting this year lol. Glad we have Derek Hough and some pro's I like. It may be the only thing to save this season for me.
