There's a rumor that Gronk and his girlfriend are going to be contestants. We shall see. I have my DVR set in case I'm not up when they announce the contestants.

Half I don't know, but looking forward to the show! One of my favorites.

I just turned on the tv. Missed the announcements and only recognize a handful of faces. Hannah B (Bachelorette); Lauren Alaina (country singer/former American Idol contestant); James VanDerBeek (actor); Lamar Odom (former basketball star/ex of Khloe Kardashian); Mary Wilson (Supremes); and I think I saw Christie Brinkley in the background.
No Gronk

Mary Wilson is 75-years-old. I actually kind of hate that they put on contestants that can't make it past a few weeks much less have a shot at winning.

Here's the full list (they say they're not revealing the partnerships until premiere night, but you have to think some of them will leak)
Sean Spicer (former Trump Press Secretary)
Ray Lewis (NFL Hall of Famer)
Karamo Brown (part of Netflix's Queer Eye)
Lauren Alaina (country singer/former AI contestant)
Hannah Brown (Bachelorette)
James VanDerBeek (Actor)
Mary Wilson (singer/ The Supremes)
Christine Brinkley (model)
Kate Flannery (Actress- best known for The Office)
Ally Brooke (singer/ 5th Harmony)
Lamar Odom (former NBA player)
Kel Mitchell (comedian- best known for teaming with Kenan Thompson)
It's an interesting celeb list- on the whole, maybe slightly better than last year (though Sean Spicer is going to have a lot of people complain about him)
here's the dancers list:
Peta Murgatroyd
Daniella Karagach (newbie)
Pasha Pashkov (newbie)
Brandon Armstrong
Lindsay Arnold
Alan Bersten
Cheryl Burke
Witney Carson
Val Chmerkovskiy
Sasha Farber
Jenna Johnson
Keo Motsepe
Gleb Savchenko
Emma Slater

James VanderVeek...... I hope he can dance, cause I’ll watch just for him.

Ah well, no Gronk. That's OK. I like the cast. I love Emma's new hair color. I had seen it on SYTYCD where she and Sasha have done some choreo.

OK so we have two new dancers. Who is not back? It's early in the day and my mind is still foggy.

Last season's pros were Gleb, Artem (I guess he's busy snuggling up to Nicole), Val, Brandon, Sasha, Lindsay, Emma, Jenna, Cheryl, Alan, Keo, Witney and Sharna. If I'm counting right last season there were only 13 pairs (I'm looking at last season's cast photos).

I googled Daniella Karagach. She and Pasha Pashkov have danced together quite often. Together, they are seven-time United States 10-Dance Champions and Latin Champions! Okay... wow....

Thanks Roxip. Yep, I guess Artem is busy with Nicole.
Kookliebird, there was a Pasha on SYTYCD and his still does choreo for them I think.

Apparently Tom Bergeron isn't too happy with the Sean Spicer casting...

This is the best cast in a long while. I don't remember knowing an entire cast beforehand without having to look up a few. I just love Lauren & Kel.
(And I agree with Tom Bergeron.)

It's all about getting people to tune in...casting a controversial character will make people tune in just to see his fall from grace. Much ado about nothing.
Where's the protest against the casting of Lamar Odom, a man who notoriously cheated on his wife, almost died from a drug overdose in a brothel, has admitted to using copious amounts of drugs - is he a boy scout?
Not defending Sean Spicer, who seems to be a nasty piece of work, but picking and choosing who you protest casting is rather laughable to me.
And by the way, I still kind of like Lamar Odom.

I'll miss her too. I know some people didn't like her as much but she is one of my favorites.

Hmmm, only 12 stars listed, but 14 dancing pros. Are there a couple more contestants not announced yet?

Christy Brinkley is out of the competition due to a broken arm during a practice session. On GMA this am. Here's a short link:

And her daughter Sailor is taking her place...that'll be unusual, especially if she had an older pro..

Still curious to see why there are 2 more pros than stars.
