Paula Deen? I hope she is voted off first so I do't have to hear her name. Kim Zolciak is probably the one without any talent whatsoever, just some extra silicone.
This year it is like they are telling me since I only watch once in a while,they want make sure I never turn on this show at all, such republisve people. Busey? what is he going to do, throw his partner in the audience? the man needs help, not a show spot.

I checked as see Busey was on BB in Britain. I was sure he hadn't been on it here.

To me it seems the average age of this cast is older than other seasons (which of course I appreciate, being older myself). Bindi and that internet guy (who I know nothing about but I'm assuming he's fairly young) are probably the youngest, with the PenaVegas, Andy Grammer (and does that mean that Alison was originally not going to be on this season since she is merely a replacement for Peta?) and the hero guy (Alek) next. Nick Carter has to be in his 30s or early 40s and the rest of them (know nothing about Kim...assume she's another one of those interchangeable housewives) are somewhat north of him?

Hey, I was pretty close! Although I am a little surprised that Gary is older than Paula and that Chaka is not as old as Gary and Paula...LOL!

I think Hayes at 15 is going to have more of a trouble with the sexier dances than the young women do. Girls can look beautiful even whilst not being sexy, but boys just tend to look awkward.

Hayes and Bindi are just too young. Very awkward age for both of them. And for me as a viewer, I dont want to watch children doing "sexy" .. yes, they can water it down.. but this isnt Nickelodeon.

I don't think Bindi has had a awkward moment in her life. She is going to do great. The gal has her father's genes and has been in front of a camera since the day she was born. She started out on her father's show when she was only 2 years old.

I think Bindi will do great too... she's much older than her actual age. In fact, once they named her, I thought she would win the whole thing.

I think Bindi will do well too, however, one of the interesting things about this show is there is no guarantee. Sometimes contestants that I expect will do great have no feeling for dance at all. I do think that it is a great advantage for her to be with Derek. He is so skilled and such a great teacher.

Yes, I think she is very hard working and determined, but she just might not have a talent for dancing, we don't know yet. If anyone can bring it out of her though, Derek can.

I think Bindi will do very well.. she has been in the spotlight almost from birth, seems fearless, is an entertainer. One article said she is an author.. well, yes, among other talents. And Derek will be perfect for her.
