I only know two the guys. Hoff and Bolton. The only woman I don't know is Partridge. Never heard of her. Now I see she is from The Hills, and that explains why I don't know her. I think my choices pre-show are the Hoff and Margaret Cho. Although, there are really several there I like as people from what I know of them as celebrities.

I'm as liberal as it gets, and I'm looking forward to seeing Bristol Palin on DWTS. Nothing wrong with getting folks from different walks of life to learn how to dance. But then, I love this show more for Tom Bergeron, Bruno, Len, Dance Center, the music, the pros, the costumes, and the FUN! Don't really care who they get for 'Stars' - to me, they are secondary to the experience.

Well, Kyle Massey is a pretty funny guy, so I think he will be fun to watch. I hope he goes far.

I am looking forward to this season. The Hoff should be interesting. I was watching E's Fashion Police last night about the Emmys. Kelly Osborne was one of the 'commentators'. First off she was really great at it, made very spot on comments but not in a snarky way. Joan Rivers started snarking on Kate Goesllin (who I think she confused with the Octomom by some of her jokes) and Kelly told her to stop and said she had a real soft spot in her heart for Kate after meeting her on dancing with the Stars. (yes, I know they were different seasons but they must have met, cause that's what she said! LOL)

I just got off the phone with my 94 year Granny who got me started watching this show. (Honestly, I am confused if she 93 or 94 right now, and I hate to ask her all the time). Here I called her thinking she would hardy know any of these people and I would explain who they are, but she knew them ALL! (except Brandy) She even gave me stats on the sports guys!...LOL I love my Granny so much. She just got her wrist operated on Friday for carpal tunnel because her fingers kept going numb.

That's awesome Naja! I don't really care if these people are A list or D list. I prefer that I recognize them, but even that's not that important. I just enjoy watching the dancing.

Reality Steve said this: "I have no idea if any of these 12 have any formal dance background, but I do know that pretty much every woman that watches this show will want Jennifer Grey to win. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner”. How many times do you think we’re gonna hear a reference to that this season? 50? 100 times? Barf. And by the way, holy facelift Batman! I know she’s 50 and it’s been years since “Dirty Dancing” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, but when did Jennifer get a new grill? Everybody, in some respect, still looks like their old self, even if it is 30 years later. Not her. If she wasn’t introduced as Jennifer Grey, I don’t think I would’ve known it was her. I guess that’s what Hollywood will do to you. Makes you want to get a whole new mask." I agree, I did not recognize Jennifer Grey at all.

Jennifer Grey had her nose and teeth done shortly after Dirty Dancing so she's looked like that for a loooooooooooong time. Her nose job what was thought to have cost her her career, back in the day. Facelift is more recent, I am sure.

Even back in 1999 or so, people were saying Jennifer Grey's sitcom failed to draw enough viewers because she didn't look like herself anymore. I barely remember watching an ep or 2 of it. It was before I had a DVR and I am sure it was up against something better to watch.

Yes, Jennifer Grey's career never did recover from that nose job. I still find it hard to look at her. Plastic surgery took all the character out of her face. And I'm sure she's had recent work done for wrinkles, but it was the nose job in her youth that really changed her face. Unrecognizable, indeed!

Jennifer's original nose job was horribly botched and she had years of trying to get her face back in order again. It was really hard on her (or at least that's what I remember) -- she went in for a little nose job and ended up having to have most of her face redone or something like that. She has said that her own sister didn't even recognize her. In the early 1990s, Grey underwent a rhinoplasty procedure that was so botched she required a second plastic surgery to repair the damage. The result was a face so changed that even close friends failed to recognize her, and the major change in her appearance negatively affected her career. Of the experience she said, "I went in the operating room a celebrity – and came out anonymous. It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible."[1] She briefly considered starting over with a new name to go with the new face, but stuck with her original name.[2] In 1999, she reappeared in the short-lived ABC sitcom It's Like, You Know... portraying a variation of herself, a struggling actress named Jennifer Grey. In an episode of the series, she poked fun at herself with a storyline about a much-publicized nose job. This is from wikipedia...

you have to wonder what would have happened if she did change her name...

Why does Reality Steve think women will only want Jennifer Grey to win? I must be missing something. I have initial bad reactions to many of them, but all they have to do is show me something to make me want to root for them and that they are working hard and improving and they can win me over.

I think she looks great. She played Mindy on friends for a couple episodes, right?

I should look so good. I eagerly await the start of the show. I always admire those who throw themselves into it no matter how bad they may be. 'Try' is the operative word as far as I am concerned. Those that really are trying get OG's seal of approval.

Jennifer Grey and Derek? Sheesh, I think ABC have picked the we have the winners already. They gave Derek a professional last go-round. This makes me angry when they stack the deck.

I think it's a good match for us to watch. Jennifer obviously has some experience, but it was 25 years ago and she's now 50, and if anyone is going to bring out the best in a contestant it's Derek. I will love watching her improve every week.

Hi everyone. Each season there are a few 'celeberties that I don't really know, but the thing I like about this show, is you get to know people that you otherwise might not watch. Hasselhoff is such a 'ham' that I think I might have trouble liking him. And I loved him as Snapper on the Young and The Restless years ago. He must have just been starting out then. He just seems so over the top once in a while.

I have had a soft spot for Louis Van Amstel ever since he danced with Kelly Osbourne. He had a great sense of humor and was so good with her. He and Margaret Cho should have a lot of fun together.
