'Dancing with the Stars' cast revealed
[cnn-large-image image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/03/01/c1main.dancing.feet.gi.jpg caption="" width=416 height=234]
The 10th edition of "Dancing with the Stars" gets under way in three weeks, and now we know who will be hoofing it up for the prestigious Mirrorball Trophy. Pamela Anderson - the "Baywatch" babe has found some honest work. Good for her. Chad Ochocinco - the NFL wide receiver is known for his elaborate post-touchdown celebrations. Perhaps he's running out of ideas, and needed to consult the history of dance for his next TD jig. Aiden Turner - he's British, he's named Aiden, and he plays a guy named "Aidan" on the ABC soap "All My Children." Never heard of him. Erin Andrews - the ESPN personality hopes to last on the show longer than colleague Kenny Mayne, who was the first contestant eliminated in the early 2006 tournament. Shannen Doherty - will the anti-Brenda fan clubs return from their slumber over this? Buzz Aldrin - he was the second man to walk on the moon, and he's 80 years young! I think we have our sentimental favorite for this tournament. Niecy Nash - will she last longer here than her Fox sitcom "Do Not Disturb", which lasted all of three episodes in 2008? Nicole Scherzinger - she fronts the Pussycat Dolls, but that group's style of dance is a tad, er, different than what's on DWTS. Evan Lysacek - no rest for the current Olympic men's figure skating gold medalist. Kate Gosselin - DWTS day care services could be quite crowded come tape days. Jake Pavelka - shouldn't he be preparing for a wedding? What do you think of this "Dancing with the Stars" lineup? |
I've been browsing on-line more than three hours lately, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It's pretty price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
Attractive portion of content. I just stumbled upon your web site and in accession capital to claim that I acquire in fact enjoyed account your weblog posts. Any way I will be subscribing on your feeds or even I success you get admission to consistently rapidly.
YUK.. line up gets worse every season!!! necie? (don't care how it's spelled)... but REALLY?!?!?! and kate needs to get a life elsewhere! the line-up should b ppl from real (not reality) tv and put like one show against another.. like the cast from Boston Legal vs. Castle or something fun like that!!!!! i'd be GLUED. this list is full of "ok" ppl (except neice and kate) but it's just not "WOW TV", ya know?
Dancing With the Stars is (was) my favorite show up until this season.. It's suppose to be Dancing with the Star not with the nobody and the has been like Shannen Doherty.
Go Buzz and Evan...once they are gone...so am I...as much as i have loved this show...you have jumped the shark
I enjoyed DWTS in previous seasons but am not so keen on the upcoming season after hearing that Kate Gosselin is in the lineup. I stopped watching TLC after realizing how the network and Kate scammed the viewers into believing everything was fine with the Gosselin family when the "reality" was that the family was in a crisis. Kate didn't have the decency to remove her family from the spotlight as the marriage disintegrated. TLC took advantage of the family as it kept the cameras rolling and the ratings soared as the family dissolved. Both Kate and TLC are unrelenting in keeping this family in the spotlight and its not "for the sake of the family". It's for the ratings and Kate's thirst for fame. I, too, am disappointed that ABC is now aiding and abetting TLC in trying to keep her in the public eye. Kate is not famous...she's infamous. She's achieved her notoriety because of her children not because of any discernible talent or charisma.
Why all the Kate Hate ?
She needs the money people !
So would you if you had 8 kids 🙂
Can't stand Kate, or Pam, and the others are pretty far off radar, but every season people talk about not watching, and how bad the stars are, and every season, you all watch... you know you do. LOL. It's like a bad wreck... don't want to watch, but you do...
And you may not know who Aiden whateverhisname is, is but... he's HOT!!
Somebody at ABC must have something else to broadcast on Monday and Tuesday nights. Why else would the show be sabotaged with "non-stars" like Kate Gosselin? Good thing MLB is starting soon.
Horrible line up...who's the num-nuts who booked this group? I've always loved to watch this show, that is until now. I won't be watching this time around. Sure hope they do a better job of it next time.
These are not stars. Kate Gosslin is no more than a "wanna-be-whatever-is available" and everyone is sooooo tired of her. The promise of watching Pamela Anderson's bouncing T&A is nauseating. Niecy Nash has a sense of humor about herself and that might be fun for a show or two. I used to be an avid fan, but if this is the sponsors' and producers' idea of entertainment, I think I'll get a fish tank and a couple of bottom feeders to watch instead.
Why is everyone bashing Kate Gosselin?? Is there a bad thing about being a working mother?? She has 8 kids to raise and by the looks of it she seems to be raising them financially by herself. You talk about how she exploited her kids but I'm sure you were one of those viewers that watched the show.
These days it takes 2 parents to raise a family. And with 8 kids I'm sure if you were offered the opportunity she was given you'd grab it to. What's wrong with having big dreams for your kids!
You have got to be kidding!! Really? Kate Gosslin? Count me out! What an insult to put her up next to the likes of Buzz Aldrin...You just lost me as a fan....I'm sure she will say she is doing this for her kids....tired line, if she wants to do something for her kids maybe she should try to stay out of the limelight and raise them....her 15 minutes are up in my book!
Could this cast be ANY worse?
Losers.
I thing Tiger Woods and all of his ex-girlfriends should have been on the show.
i think we saw enough of Jake's moves on the last Bachelor. Why not have asked Tenley to be on the show, she likes to dance? or for more fun, ask Vienna to be on the show and she can show the world some of her Hooter Girl moves and get some pointers from her ex-stripper mom????
Very bad choices; could care less about watching these "non-Stars".......................my guess is that since they can't come up with some real stars – this is probably going to be the last of this reality show! They've lost me.
Any show that has to explain the rules dozens of times and had a moron for a hostess (thank God she's gone) who needed cue cards to tally the scores and NOW has this pitiful cast should follow Conan off the air. This show sucks!!!!!!!
Kate Gosslin??? You have 8 children at home. From what I understand you really spend a great deal of time practicing and getting ready for performances, etc. Isn't it a 4-6 week commitment? AGAIN, you have 8 children at home. How do you have this kind of time? You've already spent time getting plastic surgery and having makeovers and possibly having a talk show, how the hell do you have any time for your kids????
they lost me with Kate Gosselin, of all people!
We used to be loyal watchers, but this is one household that WON'T be watching this season. Advertisers? Hear that? I've not heard of over half of the contestants, but it was putting Kate Gosselin on that sent us over the edge. The only place she's a star is in her own mind. Come on, ABC. You can do a LOT better.
Now I hate Kate as much as I hate Jon. Who could have guessed?
Kate Gosselin .... is she ever going to be just a "plain" mother to all those children and stop all this nonsense about being herself a – – celebrity!! So selfish – So self centered !! I am repulsed just hearing her name ... let alone have to deal with her dancing on DWTS !!
Kate Gosselin, i hope she is voted off first, i just want her and her husband or ex to go away. Go look after your kids, they are so yesterday
Yes, Kate should stay home and get a modest, humble job like the rest of us. Pamela Anderson? Sorry. It's too bad. I love DWTS. I don't know how I'll get through this season. My intention is not to judge. I just find no interest in any of these people, except Buzz.
Yuch, yuch, yuch! I have watched each season and this season is the worst. This show is on the way OUT! Stick a fork in it, it's done!
...Kate Gosselin?
Moby passing gas is more entertaining.
Pamela Anderson??? Watch out ABC could be another wardrobe malfunction or Bono slip of the tongue in the making.
And Kate Gosselin??? Need I say more???
What is the definition of a star? For reals – Kate Gosselin? I agree with other readers, go be a mother.
Kate Gosselin? I'm gonna puke!
Honestly? Not an especially good line-up, except for Buzz Aldrin and Evan Lysacek, but who cares? I love to watch the *dancing* and I tend to root for my favorite pros, no matter who their partners are! I hope they give Cheryl Burke a really good partner this year, and I'd love to see Julie Ann Hough back, as well!
boring?
Show must be desperate to have to go with this line-up. Probably won't be watching this year. Very boring. They should have gone with a best of dancing with the stars from previous DWTS shows. That would have been worth watching.
ABC will be going down in the ratings. Too many other good shows to be watching than this.
Not so bad, but I want to know who is going to get stuck with Pamela's large boobs. Is she going to appear drunk and in a white bikini and sailor hat?
Me passing gas is more entertaining
Worst line up ever. This show is getting to the bottom of the barrell I see.
they are running out of good stars to put on here. they are just taking from the bottom of the barrel. i hope they bring jon gosslen on at some point for a ratings boost when the ratings start to slip. i for see kate being in the final round.
I would like to know why people are so concerned with what is on TV? Everything is now reality tv. It's just sad. I'd rather spend time with my family or improving my own life and stop worrying about celebrities.
This show is still on? It's amazing how producers can take one show and run it to the ground.
Except for a handful of "stars" they are nobodies mostly.
I wonder if anderson is going to have a wardrobe malfunction. I am sure many will be watching to see this.
Shouldn't that goselin woman be home tending to her kids?
I love how people always complain about the stars who actually agree to go on national television and be publicly picked apart and made fools of. Would you do it? I doubt George Clooney or Angelina Jolie will be signing up anytime soon, sorry to disappoint everyone. A lot of those that agree to do the show usually have already had some type of public scandal or bad press, or they either just don't give a shit and need a paycheck. I'll probably watch a few episodes just to see Pam try to dance without those giant melons falling out.
Isn't Jake supposed to be marrying the slut he knocked up on "The Bachelor...Kate Gosselin will do anything for attention...What a whore!
Only good ones are Buzz Aldrin and Even Lysachek. DWTS must be
running out of celebrities for the show!! No wonder Samantha Harris
is leaving!!! Good Luck DWTS and may the ratings haunt you!!!
Interesting.
Looks terrible; I won't watch.
Kate Gosselin is enought to make us NOT watch this season and we have always liked the show. Could someone please put Jon and Kate along with Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton on a boat and sink it somewhere in the middle of the ocean?
ABC could have done better than this.....if not, give up the show.
I have no interest in seeing any of them. They'd better not kill Buzz. That will end the show for good!
good grief
DANCING WITH THE STARS? WHAT STARS?
As always the show will be a hit. The producers know how to pick the stars and provide an amusing mix. It seems to bring out the best in the celebrities and I hope that is the case this year. So many people with negative comments is disturbing. Smile, be happy!
Soooo, a couple of has-beens, some no-namers, a we're-all-sick-of-you, and a geriatric ...thanks but I'll pass!!!
Should be re-named Dancing with whoever we could beg or plead to embarrasses on our show! I see NO stars!!!
Kate Gosselin???? A "Star"???? NOT!!! She should be at home with her kids!!! She'll probably be eliminated early anyway.
Does anyone really think the others have a chance against Evan Lysacek? For heaven sakes, he's an Olympic Gold Medalist, a superb athlete and an incredibly hard worker. He knows how to move to the music and put on a show. Remember Kristi?
we all hate Kate she is a loser! Pamela Anderson is a doll I'll support Pam but Kate .....come on u guys really!
Maybe we can catch some candid camera action of Erin Andrews in the dressing room!
I'm sure Kate is only doing this for more plublicity, apparently they get $20,000.00 for doing this show & she is spending it on a studio which she is building in the house so she can practice at home. Sounds like a waste of money to me. I'm pretty sure her 15 mintues are over. And I agree she isn't a star, this is supposed to be "dancing with the stars" I'm looking forward to her being really bad though.
I love Niecy!!! She's HILARIOUS!! Now that she and Evan are going to be one, I guess I'll have to watch this season. I was going to skip it after popularity won over talent last time.
I love that people are like "OH I WILL NOT WATCH THIS SEASON!" because of one, maybe two people they don't like.
Its not like DWTS is DWTMost Popular Stars Of The Moment, clearly, it's DWTSWho Need Some Money Or Exposure.
Chad will be awesome to watch. He's hardly a jerk in real life.
Why in the world did they choose Jake?? He should be spending time with Vienna and planning his wedding.
anybody but kate gosselin, her 15 minutes was up loooooong ago!
OMG! Television Networks have gone down the TUBE! Really.............Kate Gosselin!! Get serious people she is a nobody who thinks she is someone of importance a fake Star. I hope she falls on her a$$ the first day out. TLC has created a monster nobody!
I've watched this show from the first season, and Im extremely disappointed in this line-up. Kate? Seriously? The mere sight of this media-sucking skag makes me wanna hurl. That alone is enough to make me change the channel...or at the very least wait until she gets booted off to watch any of it. I'd respect her if she'd shut up and go away...doesn't she have like 10 kids somewhere? The kids gonna raise themselves or each other like the Duggars? Im sad the producers decided to go there.
It should be called the B-List Dancing with the So-called Stars!!! will not be watching.......
intersting line up. for the all the KG haters. she needs a job to feed her kids. not sure abt the 80 yr old dude. and jake.... yea he should be plannin a weddin. maybe he needs money to plan the weddin. i think this will be the best season ever. now i cant wait to see who the pro partners are...
Kate Gosselin could be the reason not to watch the show anymore. This show is from good to bad. Get rid of her.
If they're trying to pick up viewers, this isn't the way...
The most boring and trivial cast of the show yet. I'll pass this season.
Should be called "Dancing With D-List Celebrities"
Who's next JWOWW & Snookie?
i will watch the first episode just to see them all to start ...
i want to see Buzz – a true american hero
and i like british hottie Aiden from All My Children
i think Evan Lysacek should have some dancing skill
mostly i want to see Jake the Bachelor fall on his ass
same with Neicy Nash – yick !!! – she is the absolute worst !!!
DWTS is the ONLY reality show I watch. I am NOT impressed with the new season lineup. Who books these shows anyway?
Kate Gosselin?? Give me a break! Don't know half these people anyway. Not sure if I'll be watching this season. Too bad. It used to be a fun show...
This is the worst line up yet! I am a ballroom dancer and really enjoy dancing with the stars... This season I wont even be watching. Why doesnt DWTS take normal everyday people and put them on the show instead of the stars? The "stars" are now the professional dancers which is the only reason for watching anymore, turn this into a real compitition!
With Pamela anderson on there, this show has been dumbed down to an all time level.
Everytime DWTS starts my husbands hate the fact that those nights belong to the TV. NOT this time, I am anti Kate, don't know the girl but can't stand her at all. This is the 1st time I will be missing the whole entire season. What the hell was was the &^$@# thinking. WE ARE ALL TIRED OF HER!!!
For some reason, I don't see any connection between the lineup and the show's title... I guess those "people" must feel good about themselves to be called "stars"... Good for them... bad for us!
Kate Gosselin????? OMG, what were you thinking?
I'll have to watch something else.
now i remember why i do not watch this show.
KATE!!!!! are you kidding me. hasn't the country seen enough of this hot mess? I'd rather watch reruns of jresey shore and that bunch of losers than subject myself to Kate. Wont be watching this season. I hope John laughs his ass of when she breaks her leg
I won't watch until Kate Gosselin gets the boot. Can't stand her. Take care of your 8 babies!!
OMG!! Pam Anderson AND Buzz Aldrin. This is the best lineup ever! My husband will be watching for possible "wardrobe malfunctions" but I think that it will be interesting. With DWTS and the cast of Celebrity Apprentice I may have to watch reality TV after all.
So, who are the "Stars"???????
Seriously, is this show still on?
I am not impressed by this group.. Kate Gosselin...what a joke.. she should be focusing on her kids.. but then again..she only thinks of herself.
Is anyone going to watch this? What were they thinking? Well, that may be it – We'll watch because it's such a stupid line up – that's probably what they were thinking...
I wonder how many of you who say you are NOT going to watch the show, actually do end up watching it????? I hope Kate Gosselin wins for all your Kate haters! I think she is a great mother and is doing what she can to provide for her family. What would you do if your husband left you with eight little ones????
What a disappointing group.......Kate, Pam, Jake...come on!!!!!
Kate is indeed a star.
Yes, she is.
How many times have you seen her name on this board? The term "star" has nothing to do with talent or skill. It has to do with the amount of attention that one attracts. She has attracted tremendous attention on this blog alone.
Like it or not, she is a star. And the more you people post about her, the bigger a star she becomes. Like Obi Won kanobi, you only make her stronger when you strike her down. Every time you type her name you make her stronger.
I am not a Kate supporter. She has no real talent. Can't stand her. But by the diminished standards of 2010 she is a star, and people will tune in to see her fail.
And Pam and Shannen had more success in a few short years than most of you have had in your entire lives. Nothing lasts forever, and it's very easy to call them washed up when you yourself have done nothing with your lives.
Sorry I am so disappointed in this line up. Will not watch this year.
Dancing with the nobodies.
They should name this show "Dancing with the Has Beens and Losers" show. I won't watch any of it. I wouldn't consider any of these people "stars". Yet for some reason they all think pretty highly of themselves. Hope they all look like the asses they are.
When will they get it right? The show is called Dancing with the Stars. Not dancing with the people who we could really give to sh!ts about. Chad and Buzz are the only ones who really have any kind of status behind their names...and even then...the majority of people don't know who they are.
This will be the "Krisit Yamaguchi" season all over again. In other words, boring beyond belief with the winner all but crowned on the first episode (i.e. Evan Lysacek). Nobody will be able to compete against his already down pat performance moves and his rythm, etc.
To say nothing of scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel with Pamela Anderson – is there a more tasteless, tacky or classless act out there? Don't they know she considers a thong with falsies to be elegant evening dress?
Good luck in your last season, DWTS, you killed yourself.
Kate Gosselin??? Lol. Niecy Nash?? Lol lol. Pamela Anderson....Ha ha ha ha ha...omg....can't catch my breath I'm laughing so hard....!!!!!
Are they really serious about Kate? How in the world did having 8 kids define her as a darn celebrity. Give me a break.
Please – this has to be the worst group that's ever performed!!
Kate Goslin is the only one I have ever heard of, and who wants to see her. I think this show has run its length. Cut it loose and try something else!
Nash and Gosselin will be main reason for watching DWTS.
Chad will own the stage, the judges, and America's hearts.
Buzz Aldrin? The man that walked on the moon? Seriously??? Where is your dignity, man?
let me see, how about a real star: John Travolta, Eva Longoria, Sandra Bullock, Tim Mcgraw, his wife, Terri Hatcher, Kevin Bacon(he can dance)Kurt Warner (footballer) Ochocinco's ok. You can do better
than the lineup you have. I didn't see the end of last years show, someone had to tell me who won. Lost interest. Unless lineup changes I will not bother to watch.
oh this is going to be funny.....come on people, you all are taking this too seriously. the name is stupid TV, gotta have some of that after a crappy, busy workday 🙂
I think that I will watching something on a cable channel. I don't see anyone that I would be voting for to stay. I thought last season was bad, but this is the worst lineup yet.
I agree that Kate is not a star...however, she is going to be practicing in her basement with her partner. She will be away from her kids 2 days a week for the show which is no more than any other working mother. Don't hate the player....
News flash people. DWTS never really had big stars to begin with. What are you freaking out about?
Think it stinks - I won't be watching this year.
It's definitely time to take this show off the air, when they're obviously scraping sludge from the bottom of the barrel to find (non) stars that nobody wants to watch.
It's unfortunate that network TV has influenced the past 2 generations to the extent that they can't distinguish between true entertainment, and televised crap.
Kate G. will probably be domineering and controling to her partner and drive him off the show. Really Kate...I guess those beautiful kids are no longer your first priority these days....6000.00 hair extensions were the first clue.
I use to watch this faithfully but not even Evan or Buzz could make me watch this time. Everyone else is either completely unknown or somebody you'd have to pay ME to watch. I was looking forward to this season especially after hearing that Samantha left. I'm going to miss seeing my favorite professional dancers. But it's not worth it with this set of losers, (with the exception of the two mentioned).
Evan, I hopey you change your mind – please. I'd hate to see you embarrasse yourself with this bunch.
I'm looking forward to this season! It sure will be fun and interesting!
I'm amused by people having such harsh reactions to the "stars" selected, as if it affects them personally. This seasons line up is no different than any other season.
I'll be entertained seeing Evan and Niecy dance and perhaps the rest might plesantly suprise as well.
Hardly stars.......Maybe Pamela might qualify...at least she is recognizable and current. The rest are no name...
Maybe it should be called Dancing with the Wanna Be Stars, with a token star to start.
Too Bed....it was good for a while
YEAH!!! KATE GOSSELIN!!!!!!!!
Well seeing as how i'm only fifteen and could have better things to do than sit around and argue with some people i dont even know i'm going to comment on this blog anyways:) well i don't agree with the fact that Pamela Anderson is on here i've never met her (obvisely) but why judge her?? oh yeah because she is known to be a little easy..... well its her life people so let her live it!!! i know i wont be watching it though!! If my english teacher would read this i would like fail her class!!! 🙂 what a run on paragraph!! and mis spelled wwords!!
Kate Gosselin has shown time and time again that she is out for herself and puts her children second. She's been more concerned with how she looks in front of the camera than what is best for her kids. I think it's sad that Americans want to see her on TV.
Kate Gossilen...seriously?!
ABC has hit a MAJOR low point in their choice of so called, "Stars". The line up consists mostly of pathetic, nasty individuals, minus a few. Will not be watching this one, used to look forward to the show............................
Evan . . . YUM. I'm watching just for him. He's gonna blow the others out of the water.
I don't watch this show, anyhow – but was curious to see how ridiculous this year's group would be. Not disappointed!
Buzz Aldrin?? I had the "unfortunate" opportunity to meet him at last year's NJ Hall of Fame ceremony. Knowing he would be there, I had printed out a beautiful color picture of him and brought it with me. I asked for his autograph . . . (people weren't exactly lining up for it) – and the brusque response was "I don't do pictures" and walked away. NICE. What a loser.
When does Jake go to work and fly planes? Does he have a permanent vacation from the airlines? GEEZ !
No wonder plane tickets are so expensive these days. the airlines are paying some goof-ball to be on those stupid reality and dance shows all the time.
Kate G??? ABC really had to dig deep to hire her to be on the show. But you know....... she loves being on TV more than being home taking care of her kids? By the way.... who IS watching those kids???
Yes, Kate Gosselin needs a job to support her family. DWTS IS NOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nursing – yes, that is a job, and one she is qualified to do. People who defend her, adore her or feel sorry for her are out of their minds. She's certainly no parenting expert. There are people in this world who have been through alot wose and whine alot less. Please don't watch this show, then maybe she'll go away.
I love Evan Lysacek but some of the others are yuk!!! I'm torn I wouldn't watch it except for Evan.
If you have been to a Pussycat Dolls concert, you know Nicole can dance. I wouldn't count her out.
I have loved this show since it came on the air, but this line-up is
pretty questionable. However, I was not dellighted with the group last season, and ended up loving Kelly Osbourne to death & was thrilled that Donny Osmond won. So, I'll start with the new season, see how it goes & reserve my judgement for now. But I must add, Pam Anderson???
Are you kidding me! Has beens and nobodies do they want ratings or they just can't find anyone who wants to be on the show. I guess after nine seasons the tenth turns out to be the worst lineup ever. I guess if it gets boring i can always watching WWE Raw that night.
Wonderful....Pamela Anderson is going to be great to watch and hope she does GREAT! Would love to see the self-absorbed Nicole get her butt beat in this competition. Go Pamela!
Love the new line-up!!! Love the show!!! Can't wait for this season to start!!!! I completely don't understand what most of these post's are all about??!!??!! Why all of the negative vibes???
I don't think this lineup is any better or worse than other seasons.
I will have a soft spot for Evan, Buzz Aldrin, Erin Andrews and
Lindsay Vonn. All the rest I don't really care about. Especially
the egomanical jerk football player. One earlier post mentioned
Mariska Hargitay. As much as I would like to see her on the show,
her schedule on SVU would make it impossible for her to do the show. ABC doesn't seem to want anybody from shows on competing
networks and is very self promoting. The main example for this group
being the guy from the Bachelor. People who would be considered
more of a *star* are probably too busy to be able to do the show.
I would rather watch paint dry!
Looks like they've jumped the shark and the professional dancers could possibly be more famous than the "stars" this season. I'm an All My Children fan but have no interest in seeing any more cast members participate, please and thank you! Kate Gosselin is the deal breaker for me. I have really loved watching Dancing With the Stars but don't think I will be able to stomach her at all.
I won't be watching for the first time since the very beginning. I don't care to see Jake's cross-eyed loser fiancee in the audience, I won't waste my time on Chad Ochocino and I'm from Cincinnati, I have no use for reality tv whore Kate Gosslin. Sorry, ABC you blew it this season!
Ok, the sheer horror I felt when I read this line up is EXACTLY why I HAVE to watch this season. I've never watched the show but this is one train wreck I dont want to miss!!!
I can't stop laughing. This is by far, the worst lineup in the show's history. They need to throw all of them out and start again. Kate Gosselin is bad enough, but Pamela Anderson???? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeese!!
Love Shannen Doherty. She's going to be great. Can't wait for the show!
I think it's great that Kate Gosselin is doing this – at least she's trying to continue to make money to support her kids – unlike that ex-husband of hers. Hope she wins too – shove it in his face !
Cool. Can't wait to see Neicy, Buzz & Kate!!!
I always watch DWTS but I never vote. This season I'll be voting to make sure Kate Gosselin DOESN'T win. Ugh.
Kate Gosselin??? Worst selection ever...next thing you know it will be the Octomom lady
Yay for Kate Gosslein. We could do without Pamela Anderson and some of the others.
A BIG "BOO" TO KATE GOSSESLIN WHO WANTS TO SEE HER DANCE ?? SHE IS NO STAR. PAM ANDERSON,CHAD OCHOCINCO–GOOD.EVERYONE ELSE SO-SO–I WILL STILL WATCH
I don't recognize some of the name and those i do please are you all running out of star that would like to dance with the stars but don't think the judging is up to standard. I am so glad black did not sign up this time.Good for all that was ask.
What is this..."Dancing with the Losers"...what an awful line-up.
I'll be watching something different on ABC!!!!!!!!
one word BORING
geez...never heard of most of them, but this show rarely has an actual 'star', so what's new....? I may watch it once I hear idiot Gosselin has been thrown out, but only if the Olympic guy is still in....he is at least recognizable (now) and well known.
Kate ruined her marriage, she'll ruin the show as well. Pam Anderson? Really? She hasn't been a star since she went plastic. Kick her to the curb. No way I'll watch it.
I think they boobed up with this choice of mostly misfits!
SO LAME!!!! really dumb choices this time.
But I'm glad that Samantha Harris will be off the show this season!
Kate Goselin (yuck!) – vote her out immediately so that she gets her butt home and raises her large brood. She is such a media ho
I know that normally you vote to keep people on the show...How do I vote Jake and Kate off the show!!! I am sooooo done with these reality stars...Tell them to get on with their lives! Kate has 8 kids to take care of and Jake gets to raise his little girl Vienna!
Is OCT-O-MOM on the next show?? If it will last that long. Really digging at the bottom of the barrel as my grandpa used to say!
The line up looks good. The "dancer's" feet in that photo are horrendous. They can't find anyone that can point their toes?
Equal parts awkward, awful, and lame.
KATE?????????? MOVIE STAR! LOL
I won't watch simply because of Kate Gosslin. She (and her husband) disgust me.
One word. LAME.
It's called Dancing with the STARS. These people are not STARS!
The hostess bailed at the right time – good move on her part.
Okay, the visuals here are many and HILARIOUS! I must watch. I simply must watch at least the first show. How do you dance with Pam Anderson and those foreign objects on her chest! You can't get near her! And Kate Gosselin–really ? I actually like this line up, if you get rid of the skater and the pussy cat doll you finally have what I think the show should be-people with NO dance background of ANY kind learning as they go.
All I have to say is what the hell were they thinking!!
Well, I don't know if she can dance or not, but Erin Andrews is a flat out smokin' hot babe...I don't care what you say.
It was a relief not to see her name and face every where on the internet, in the news, on the magazines as I checkout at the store... Now I am going to have to see and hear about her (KATE) all over again! WHY did this have to start again???!!!
Wow. Last season I was able to overlook the tackiest dancers on DWTS, but this season? Forget it! I will definitely NOT be tuning in.
OMG!! - ABC and DWTS producers.......... what are you all thinking? What a lame bunch of so called "stars" you have this time?
Jake the bachelor? and Kate G.? Pamela Anderson? YUCK!
Guess I'll be skipping this season!
I love the lineup I am actually going to watch it this time. I can't wait!
For God Sake ...... most of these dancers are on this show for charities. You people take this way to serious - its just a show for enjoyment - if you dont like dont watch it. But ..... not to support charities ?????
Pamela Anderson? Well, we can probably expect a couple black eyes on her when she gets done with her dance (??) routine.
Are you kidding me? Looks like I'll have extra time to do other things since I won't be watching this show....
this is a really DUMB line up of people to be on DWTS ! Don't even know if I want to watch this season. Kate Gosslin???? Shouldn't she be at home with her KIDS? She's ridiculous! Bet she will be bossy and bitchy on this show, like she was on "plus 8" show. the way she treated Jon....... no wonder he had affairs! I hope she gets voted off early! Shannon Doherty isn't much better, regarding "attitude" either!
oh and Pamela Anderson????? What is ABC thinking???
DUMB choices this time, for sure.
WHO? I thought this was Dancing With The STARS...not Dancing With A General Group of People We Found.
I don't get all the whining on this board about the line up. Every year I look at it and go "who???" That' s normal. Also normal is that every year there's always someone I love to hate on it. My personal favorite in the "hoping they fail miserably" catagory this year is Pamela Anderson. Can't stand her. BUT, by the end of the season if she sticks around long enough (hopefully not) I will probably like her better because I'll actually get to see a little of her real personality. Get over the Kate Gosslin "stay home with your kids" thing. It just sound like jealousy every time I hear it. If you don't like her you don't like her but using the "mom" card to justify it is really getting old. The whole point of putting such a diverse, unknown, liked, unliked crowd together is to make the show interesting and obviously it's already garnering interest..
Haha, lots of people commenting they won't watch. But oh you know you will! I dont think he'll win, but I'll still be cheering Buzz on!
I have watched DWTS since the first show, but I can assure you I want be watching until Kate is voted off! I think you need to replace who ever picked this year..Absolutely terrible.
Evan Lysacek is the only one worth watching among this dismal selection. If he is anywhere's as good on the dance floor as he is on the ice.......ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby! No doubt he will win DWTS! The only thing worse than Kate is having Octomom! WHAT are the producers thinking? As for Buzz Aldrin I hope they have EMT waiting in the wings. I doubt he will last beyond the first or possibly the second night.
Who is watching the KIDS, Kate and who the hell is that SOAP ACTOR and why is he going to be on this dance show?! He can't act.
I LOVE SHANNON!!!
This is AWFUL! Buzz Aldren? Really? Seriously??? KATE GOSLIN – the WORLD has had enough of her – PLEASE. What are the producers trying to do? Kill the show? This is a prime season to do it. SO disappointed.
Can't imagine Buzz being as much fun as Cloris, but who knows. As for the rest, I think we're getting to the bottom of the barrel when you have to haul in the likes of Kate Gosslein.
Next Season:
Kid Rock ,Howard Stern,Octomom, Gary Coleman,Marilyn Manson, Lindsey Lohan,Brittany Spears, LaToya Jackson, Dennis Rodman, and the kid from a 7-11 in Peoria.
Dancing With The Skanks
I can't believe Buzz Aldrin would stoop so low to be included with this bunch.
Nicole Scherzinger in hot dresses, now that's entertainment.
Kate Gosselin a star? Of What? You can do better than that.
Don't watch this at all and may tune in once in awhile, but...really, Kate Gosslin...make me hurl!
When does Jake work as a pilot...he seems to spend more time on reality shows that being a pilot...which means he loses his edge when flying; I hope I never fly on a plane he is piloting
I can't believe that you are supporting the 'pimping' efforts of Kate Gosslin...is she really what we now consider a 'STAR', afterall, this show started off as Dancing with the Stars...now it's Dancing with Moms who Exploit their Children....too bad, you just lost a boat load of fans...and I'm the captain of that ship!
Will watch for Evan Lysacek and Buzz Aldrin if I have time. Except for seeing the name in the tabloids at WalMart, I don't even GET the love/hate comments about Kate. Pamela – hm. Okay. Same with Shannen. I've seen worse lineups. I know the real and current stars are all too busy for this type of show.
What I'd REALLY like to see with this show??? How about Dancing with the Neighbors. I mean, really. The STARS don't have the time or need for this show. Instead of casting a bunch of unknowns – well, not really unknowns...it's just the most of us might know only one or two of the cast – why can't they take someone off the street? Do you know what I mean? Let's teach the regular Joe America to dance and win! But, then, I guess...who would watch it then?
Truthfully, I just got into DWTS a few seasons ago and really enjoyed it....however, Kate Gosselin? seriously? Pam Anderson? you put them with Buzz and an Olympian....forget it. I'm done.
Whoever thought having this line up was a good idea should be an addition to the umemployment line. bad call. really bad call.
But thankfully, they left Octo Mom alone.
Haven't missed a season.....until now. Yay for camera hungry social degenerates!!!
Is this Dancing with the Stars or Dancing for those who believe they are stars? What happened to choosing real Stars? That was the fun of the whole thing. This is getting boring.
I might watch the night one is voted off. This is, again, a bad line up. I only know 6 of the competitors. Pamela is too slutty for my taste, Shannen is too low brow, Nash is a loud mouth show off, Buzz and Evan are about the only ones I would watch. Last season was a cop out with Donny winning? He had years of dancing experience! So unfair to those with no or very little dancing backgrounds. Ozzie's daughter was a winner in my book! I won't be watching this season. Also, the constant clapping from the audience is disgraceful and rude. Tell those idiots to clap when the dancing is OVER and that goes for the entertaining singers who I couldn't hear due to constant applauding from the yo yo's in the audience. Notice how the MC's had to yell into the mikes in order to be heard by home viewers?
I refuse to watch anything with attention-junkie Kate Gossling in it.
This is the worst line up I have ever seen. I have so been looking forward to the DWTS and now this. I may not watch at all. What are they thinking????
Kate Gosselin is the worst choice for this show. Maybe she needs money.
really now, kate gosselin? controlling attention whore., i hope she goes home first. if not are i wonder how much of her kids/life we are going to have to deal with seeing.
as for the rest of the lineup.... i think it will be fun. lysachek is fluid on the ice, lets see if it trancends to the dance floor i wonder if pam andersons "attributes" will get in the way during close dances, one other star had that problem but still danced beautifully. aiden. ooo baby. buzz aldrin... it will be fun to see a childhood memory. i could go on but wont. there is something for everyone in this lineup i think. and it is what it is. watch or dont. thats why they made remotes.
any one of them could be a great dancer, or become one. i just personally dislike the kate gosselin type people.
The greatest line-up ever? In who's book? I love watching the show but I think I'll skip this one! Kate Goslin? Are you serious? Anything now to make money to support her large brood of kids, huh? An 80 yr old astronaut? Are they waiting for the first patient to have a heart attack or something like that on the show? Please.......
after kate and pam go i will watch again
Won't watch this season. Sorry!!
will not be watching this season. have watched all the rest. this season looks like TRAIN WRECK!!!!!!!!!!
I know for sure wont be tuning in to this dancing with the stars getting worse contestants all the time and kate worrying about how her kids would get on when they divorce she wont be home long enough to find out
GREAT line up!!! GO Kate!!
I can't believe theya re going to have Pamela Andersion on the show. she is trash and not good for the show. Shannen Doherty always had a bad attitude. I don't think she'll be any different on the show.
for the rest of the line-up, I thing DWTS did a good job. Let's keep dancing classy.
By the way, I love DWTS.
Deni
Horrible lineup except Nicole Scherzinger. The only person missing is the octomom.
Not worth watchin!
This is a show I have always enjoyed. Pretty dancing, watching them improve, seeing who is getting really good...you know....all of that good stuff.
I can't believe I won't be watching this time due to Kate and my aversion to her and her fake personality for PR's sake. Soooo disappointed. What WERE they thinking!!!
Oh, all you "Nay Sayers" will watch it and you KNOW it! LOL!
I'm sure there will be more men watching this year, just to watch Pamela's boobs bounce up and down! I wonder how her pro dancer's going to focus...or should I say *where* he will focus? LOL!
I, for one, can't wait! As long as there are stars I know, I will watch, no matter WHO they are! It's a great show!
No announcement on who's taking Samatha Harris' place yet? Will it be Melissa Rycroft? Did I miss it?
Lynn
"April Fool's!" Oh wait it is only March.....what a joke!
Let's see how far niecy nash can go on this. Will SOMEONE please tell her to ditch the 60's flower in her hair, wipe off half of her makeup, and use a normal tone of voice that is NOT screechy?
Please?
WOW! Some of these comments are a little over kill! I think it is a great list of stars. Do you really think the A Listers like Angela Jolie and Jennifer Anniston would sign up for Dancing with the Stars?? What do you expect??
What's up with all the hatred for Kate Gosselin? You say she should be home raising her kids....HOw do you want her to pay her bills? If she worked a standard job at $10-$15 hour job, would you then be happy and stop hating her?? So you just don't want her to make millions. Oh! Grow up! A person has the right in this country to make as much as they want! You are just jealous of her if you are saying hateful comments. Get a life! If you don't like someone on TV, use the remote and turn the TV off, you idiot!
Kate Gosselin is the only reason I will watch this show. She is a star in my book,,,putting up with so much unreasonable papparizzi trouble, hate and love from her followers and a divorce so devasting to both her and her children. Why don't people give her a break there is always two sides to every story. I see nothing wrong with a mom liking attention and i wish her the very best! GO KATE!!
someone should be fired for picking those 12, Evan would be only one worth watching
I would rather watch 6 ordingary women, and 6 ordinary men than the other ridiculous 11 chosen,
NOT BE WATCHING THIS SEASON,
Go Buzz! I've never watched a season all the way through, and I've never called in to vote, but as long as Buzz is dancing, I'll watch and I'll call.
Yeah This show is a total joke! Just like this blog where the moderators selectively block what they choose for no apparent reason other than a full diaper. Everyone should just have their own personal private blog so the world isn't subjected to shows so bizzare, wait I meant blogs like this.
Why does Kate Gosselin continue to force herself into the "spotlight"? How often have we heard her whine about how much she dislikes the paparazzi? No privacy. Just wants to be with her kids, blah blah blah. She even goes so far as to write a book to give to her children for when they are old enough to ask questions about their childhood, the divorce, etc. So it is being published now for everyone else in the world to read? Makes sense to me. At least her kids won't have to buy a copy because every other kid in their state will have already read it and can explain to them why they are so messed up!!
Kate here's an idea...do yourself, your kids and the rest of us a huge favor, STAY HOME. Walk away from the light.
This show, along with all the other reality shows needs to be put to rest. I think they have all run their course & should be canceled.
Kate Gosselin, what for, I would think it is about time she put more effort into being a mother to her children.
the only one of interest is buzz aldrin, an american hero. the rest fuggedaboutit
Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosselin?! First, Pamela is an insult to women with her gynormous fake boobs. Do I even need to say why? And Kate Gosselin is an insult to mothers with how she exploited her children and family to make a buck. I have never watched either one of these individuals and their appearance on DWTS may induce me to sit this season out entirely. ....When I think of all the other B-listers DWTS could have gotten instead of these two, I wonder who's running the show lately.
OH LORD< who came up with all the loosers EXCEPT for Evan, and Buzz,
think I may NOT be watching for the first time since it began!
Pam Anderson, good god!
I faithfully watched the first several seasons of the show until last season. I didn't know hardly any of the competitors and I felt the dancing quality kept decreasing. It has turned into another boring reality show and it looks like this new season will be more of the same.
Judging by the shear vehemence of so many of these comments, I think this will be the best season ever. ABC rolled out a controversial list of stars...the worst thing they could do is roll out a list that no one notices. You guys really noticed this one...whether you like it, or hate it...the fact that you have such an emotional response, means it's a successful list.
this show lost me a few seasons back... this lineup does not entice me to bo back to watching it this season
Seriously, Kate Goslin? What a bunch of crap. Crappy line-up. I'm throwing in the towel and not watching.
Will watch from start to finish for the very first time. I usually wait until the last two or three weeks. Great diverse line-up. Should make for interesting watching.
DWTS used to be my favorite show. This lineup is just ridiculous. I won't be watching!
Shannen Dough dough, yeah Idiot!
Absolutely hate this line up – so boring. There are so many more interesting REAL celebrities that would do this show. and who the hell wants to see Kate Gosselin? Her 15 minutes are up! She's just awful!
A lot of you are ripping Kate Gosselin for not being a star. You don't have to like her, but to deny her a star status...did you fall asleep and not see tabloid news in 2009?...how about mainstream media news? She's been on magazine covers, her family has been the subject of evening news stories (not just E.T., but mainstream media). Every major news outlet in the country has run at least a dozen stories about her last year. THAT makes you a star. Unlike the flood of other "reality" stars out there, who NEVER get media coverage...she has. So I don't see what you're all so upset about.
The majority are unknowns to most people. The worst possible list ever, I've watched this show since the beginning and this line-up is not what I call "stars". If this is the best you can come up for casting then the show is on it's last legs. If you are looking for people with "no fan base" you just reached it.
I thought this show was called "Dancing with the STARS"? So, when are they going to get STARS to be on the show instead of these wanna-be "D" list celebrities? And Kate Gosselin should stop using her children as an excuse for her celebrity – it's pathetic that she wants to extend that 15 minutes of fame into a lifetime venture.
worse lineup in the show's history, but specifically not watching this year because of Kate & Pamela
Buzz Aldrin is cool... just getting really old.
Evan Lysacek is an amazing athlete. The man skated like no one else at the Olympics. Everyone else can take a flying leap for all I care. Would only watch this show for these two... haven't watched this show in years. Won't watch this either.
I think it's one of the best lists this show has ever had. At least I know who most of these people are (something that can't be said for most of their casts)...and they are a diverse selection. You got a famous astronaut, mega-star Pam Anderson, everyone knows Shannen Doherty the controversial tv/film star, every guy who watches college football knows Erin Andrews, you got the token NFL guy (for the guys), a day time soap star (for the housewives), a Pussycat Doll (for the younger crowd), an Olympic medalist, and a reality TV star that's topped almost every tabloid story the past year. What else could you ask for? For those of you who say, "they're not celebrities"...who do you expect to get? Tom Cruise? Michael Jordan? Oprah? Paul McCartney? Harrison Ford? Come on...this is the best you can hope for in my book.
If these are stars, Kathy Griffith should be down to about "J" list or "K" list by now. I'm sure Barbara Walters is busy lining them up for her year-end special.
Bad line-up. Come on an 80 year old? Unless he's Jack Lalane(and I would be leary of having him) I would suggest having some kind of life support on the side. How soon we forget Clois Leachman. That was a joke. There are too many actual stars out there to end up with these has beens. You mean to tell me this was all you could up with?
Why don't you try taking a poll from those of us who watch the show and see who we want. THEN choose from that.
Its obivous no one there can figure it out.
Seriously they need to change the name of this show to Dancing with the Pseudo-Celebrities. Who are these people? They certainly aren't Stars. Most are has-beens or athletes. Aren't Stars supposed to be famous?
Jeez......................
Ok here are my choices for the NEXT season:
Sandra Bullock
Selena Gomez
Keira Knightly
Alyssa Milano
Eva Mendes
Diane Lane
Matthew McConaughey
Robert Pattinson
Jake Gyllenhall
Ryan Gosling
Hugh Jackman
Lil Wayne (or some other rapper)
Harrison Ford
Robert Redford
THESE ARE STARS!!! WELL MOST OF THEM..UNLIKE THIS SEASON!!!!
love it!
Well here you are: the latest line up for DWTS. ABC also revealed it's additional lineup for the Spring/Summer schedule:
– Flossing, with the Stars
– Nose Hair Trimming, with the Stars
– Fingernail Collecting, with the Stars
– Wooly Catterpillar Brushing, with the Stars
– Try-to-find-a-good-Ben Affleck-Movie, with the Stars...
– Jell-O Sculpting, with the Stars
and, Last but not least,
Try to put your Elbow in your Ear, with the Stars. Please enjoy the Show.
What is with the Kate haters??? I think she will be interesting to watch. And Tony will be in PA with her the first four weeks working at her home or at a studio when the kids are at school. So she is taking care of her children.
So who is replacing Samantha Harris? Is it Melissa R?
Oh good, Kate Gosselin has enough extra time to add another TV show to her resume. I was concerned that mothering her litter might cut into her efforts chasing fame. Isn't that her biggest complaint with her ex-husband-too much TV time, not enough time with the kids. Oh the sanctity of it all.
What? No octo-mom??
Iwas undecided whether to watch this season after the manipulation of the judges last season to get Donny to win(changing the rules to allow the judges to revote on thr finalists–after–the audience vote was counted. This lousy lineup made my mind up for me.
I certainly hope they don't put Edyta with Buzz Aldrin. She deserves a break. She is gorgeous and a beautiful dancer and she should dance with someone terrific. I mean it, if she dances with Buzz Aldrdin, I will never watch that show again. She should be the winner this year!!
Hey, look at the bright side! When Kate loses, this is something else she can blame on Jon!
I love Kate Gosselin! Woo hoo! Pam Anderson will be interesting to watch too.
I'm excited to see Evan; he was so great to watch during the Olympics... he'll probably kick butt, too!
I have been watched the show since it has been on and loved it. This season the stars are terrible. They should have looked a little harder. I am sure there a lot better people that would have agreed to be on there. I don't know if I will even watch this year. I am very disappointed!!!
What were they thinking! I've only heard of one or two of these people and don't consider ANY of them to be celebrities!! This is not even a "B-list" of characters! Is it the money???
Shannon Doherty? Pamela Anderson? Kate Gosselin? What are they thinking? Must be going for the "roll your eyes" factor with all of these 15 minute celebrities- quality is definitely out the window!!
Is Jon Gosselin a judge?
I don't even know who half these people are. Why would I watch. And, Kate G. and Pamela Anderson, Yuck!!!! P.S. This will be the first year I won't be watching.
Dancing with the Stars plus Kate? Ha, I will DEFINITELY not be watching. Although I hear that Octo-Mom will be on call to step in if for some reason Kate can't finish the gig!
This has been one of my favorite shows and I am a faithful viewer....BUT...I think that just changed. Pathetic! Sad! And totally scraping the bottom of the barrel. Buzz Aldrin? I can't watch him brake a hip! I am so incredibly bummed, what a disaster!
Pam Anderson? gee do you think she'll bring her cleavage?
I wish everyone would STOP tellling KATE to stay HOME!! I mean really! So she has 8 kids! She's a mom first and foremost. She a better parent to those kids then her poor excuse for an ex-husband. There is NOTHING wrong with her doing something for herself. And if that something else means putting herself on TV to make a living, so be it...Just think about having 8 kids and NO LIFE!
Me and my other DWTS friends are very annoyed with the choice of Kate Gosselin. We can only hope she is the first to go. Its very sad that this person has found some fame just from having 6 more kids when she already had two. Why is this a talent that interests anyone. Please make Kate and Jon and their bad parenting go away already.
dancers of the world – protest this atrocity!
While I'm thinking of it... Congrats to Evan Lysacek for the fantabulous job in Vancouver! And to Buzz Aldridge, all i can say is... Thank you!
why kate gosselin? I dont want to watch her on any show.
Buzz Aldrin will wipe the floor with everyone!
With Kate on, let's hope that no one gets gum on their lovey bears or forgets to use a coupon! Will Kate be dancing with her "bodyguard?"
Not the best line up..not enough men and the ones that are in it are not known to me at all. I was really hoping John Stamos would have been on as rumoured. I will still watch but dissapointed. I mean Jake the bachelor...since when is he a celebrity?
Sorry–lost me as a fan this season.
Good hour to take a nap.
Great for Kate! She's gotta do something to support her kids after Jon pulled the plug on their show. I hope she wins!
So the rumor of Kate Gosselin and Pam Anderson were true? <> At least the rumor of Kevin Federine didn't prove true... Am with Larry... will be doing heavy drinking on those nights... and Bobd's comment: (( The show should now be called "Dancing With People You Might Barely have Heard of. Maybe." )) Right on the money...
Come On – It is a fun and entertaining show!! I love the dancing and how everyone improves. The professionals are awesome and I look forward to seeing Jake, Nicole, Aiden & Evan!!!!!!!!
After looking at this line-up, Nicole Scherzinger is already the winner...
i don't understand why you people wont leave Kate alone.
Has she really done anything to you???? She is trying to make a living. MIss Scarlett I do think you are a little jealous.
I will watch DWTS because Kate will be on.
Good luck Kate.
Pam Anderson – How will she see her feet?
Chad – you do know that the sports figures usually do well. He definitely has the upper body strengh for the lifts.
Aiden – who?
Erin Andrews – dancing costumes after the comments about her "provocative" attire – right!
Shannen – to quote Elmer Fudd, "Be afwaid! Be vewwy afwaid!"
Buzz – GO DUDE! YOU RULE!
Niecy – who?
Nicole – are they gonna give her a pole?
Evan – GO DUDE! YOU RULE ALMOST AS MUCH AS BUZZ!
Kate – They shoulda cast Jon, too! If her dancing is as good as her parenting skills, she may make it to the 2nd show!
Jake – Like Kate, his 15 minutes are over. Go home and let them cast some real dancers.
Kate Goselin??Pamela Anderson?? Are you kidding me?!?!? I guess I'll have to find something else to watch this season.
This is the WORST line up ever. They literally picked from the very disgusting bottom of the barrell for part of the women. Pamela Anderson? I hope she doesn't drip her hepatitus sweat all over her partner. She is a nasty pos. Shannon Doherty? Seriously? And the uber fame wh0re Kate Gosselin? She is vile and the worst of the worst. I feel so very sorry for her 8 kids who are nothing more than accessories to her. At least they are better off w/ a team of loving and caring nannies than her cold, nasty tempered, mean, vicious, uncaring, unloving, hateful, verbally and emotionally abusive fame wh0re self. I will NOT be watching til she's gone. I despise her. She is worse than her ex.
I like Tara's suggestions of the musicians, Joss Stone, Fiona Apple, (though I hear Jared Leto is a douche), etc. There are so many great musicians who are not busy touring or recording right now. What era were the producers born in? How about teen sensation Justin Bieber? Or some kid from a Disney Channel show? You are totally missing the chance to pull in a younger demographic. How about one of the Olsen twins? *sigh*
really get rid of the antique old man...please try to come up with at least stars that have some talent.....this is your worst year yet....love the show, but not sure I will watch this year.
Everyone on here is a joke. Kate is doing what is best for her kids, working and making money. Get off it, I was raised by a nanny simply because I had two WORKING parents. Everyone that says she needs to stay home and get off tv needs to come out of the ice age. Women are allowed to work these days, not just stay home and cook, clean, do dishes, breast feed kids, etc... She has raised her kids to this point and will continue to do so. Way to go Kate, I hope you WIN! Instead of ripping her, why don't you ask where these childrens Father is...
Looks like I'm not alone in my distaste for Kate Gosselin. Her 15 minutes surely has to be up. And if Melissa is going to be co-hosting, that will be another good reason for not watching DWTS anymore. I would say that Evan would be the best and only reason to watch, unless they pair him with a very short partner.
what the heck? this line-up is awful! will not be watching, sad to say!
Very disappointing indeed. I still will probably watch because I do love the dancing but a very lackluster cast. Please, I beg you, get some good "stars" for future seasons or there may not be future seasons! I don't consider Kate Gosslin a star by any stretch or Pamela Sue Anderson, so on and so on! You may have to start calling it Dancing with the has beens...
And I thought the last Season was Bad!!! Give me a break. I don't need to waste my time watching this again ( probally never!!!)
What are they thinking with this lineup. Will not watch this season. Pam Anderson, yuk! Kate is not a "star" she should be home with her kids and getting a real job. Evan and Aiden would be a treat to watch but sorry with the rest of the lineup it's just going to happen...won't watch!
Kate Gosslein? What is she doing dancing? She should be taking care of her 8 children! Enough said.
who would want to watch ochobonehead?????????? daaaaa
At some point in time, producers have to agree, that shows do run their course. Case in point.. American Idol.. and now DWTS.
The only person of any interest is Evan Lysacek and he should fire his agent for getting him this gig!!
I look forward to this show every year. Not this time. Terrible lineup. Put some spice in the show. How about Nick Nolte and Gary Busey? Or Roseanne and Whoopie?
Are they trying to make this a comedy now? Pam Anderson and Kate Gosselin...who came up with those constestants? Fools both of them.
Not impressed! I am not interested in ANY of the contestants this go around. Disappointing for sure. What were the producers thinking?... or not thinking...
Do we really need Pam Anderson AND a pussycat dancer? Enough! We know sex sells but this is too much. Remember children watch this show, too. Kate Gosselin? Please go away. Shannon Doherty? Nobody ever liked her so why they would put her on this show is beyond me. I'm not watching this year... sorry........
I can't stomach another minute of Kate Gosselin..Make her go away, please!
Kate Gosselin? They are scraping the bottom of the barrel
This is the worst ever....The only one to watch, is BUZZ..... How bad when the best they can get is 'kate plus" and Pam and the pole dancer and Shanon D..ugh..Thank God for DVDs
Great lineup. I can't wait to watch. Love this show and love the variety of people you have on. Should be another great season.
My husband will be happy....if I do watch, I am sure that there will be so much fast forwarding...the show might last ten minutes??
I am a huge fan of Dancing and couldn't wait to hear the lineup. Boy, was I disappointed! I thought it was called Dancing with the Stars, not the Wanna-Be's. Where are the "Stars"?
Kate likely to be the first out due to her lack of anyone liking her. Reality check, Kate. But it will be interesting to see how she will do in the first dance. And Yeah, what happened to the real stars on the show, this has turned into a past olympian gold medalists vs the "C and D" class so so supposed stars. Who is casting this show anyway! I would love to see someone like Myrl Streep, Michael Douglas, How about silly man Tom Arnold, - Lets start a new line up of who really are stars that we would like to see.
What's with the womens line-up? If I wanted to see trash dance, I'd go to the nearest red light district.
I've always loved DWTS but I wonder about this group of dancers. I've heard of 6 of them and like 2 of them (Buzz Aldrin & Evan Lysacek). It may not be difficult to avoid this season of the show; we'll see.
I'd rather spend time watching re-runs of CSI than waste it on DWTS...
Pam Anderson needs to go deflate and raise her kids; Kate Gosselin just needs to go raise her kids...as for the rest, don't know much about them, but know that this season is a bust (no pun intended, Pam).
Love the list. I think Kate will be great!!! I am glad to see that she is working to provide for her children. I understand that she has a studio in her basement for practicing so she will be close to her children throughout this process. Good for her. I can't wait to see the show.
Awesome lineup! For the first time I am interested in watching this show!
Worst lineup ever??? What are you whackjobs talking about! You've got three smoking hot chicks (Erin Andrews, Pam Anderson and Nicole Scherzinger) and the one, and only Chad Ochocinco. These four alone are the reason I will be watching.
Gotta agree – this is the worst lineup yet – the only thing that would have made it slightly entertaining would be to have Jon Gosselin on as well. And give me a break – Jake must be tired of his pilot gig- couple months on The Bachelor - now DWTS (maybe he's learning how to dance for the wedding reception - oops wait there won't BE a wedding reception 'cuz I've already bet my salary he and the dimwit break up within the next 6 months). Who picks these people for the show any way?? The pros have their work cut out for them with this motley crew.
TERRIBLE!!! Count me OUT!
*lame* is very generous - waste of eyesight/electricity!
Is that the best you can do?
Only care about Chad O, Buzz A and Pam A. Who are the others? Never heard of them
The better choices must be turning them down.
I don't think Lycachek can win DWTS unless he performs a quad.
Whooooooooooo CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God, How long do we have to endure this string of idiotic programming? What's next, sneezing with the stars? Pathetic.
My wife and I have never missed the show until now. What a terrible line up.
I'll be watching "So You Think You Can Dance"
LOVE IT. It should be a great season. I actually like Kate G. and I LOVE LOVE Evan L.
Worst lineup ever! I won't be watching....boy have they lost touch with what people want!
Worst lineup ever! Thanks for the headsup – now I wont waste my time watching.
First off – ENOUGH of Gosselin already! Do we have to have this family shoved down down our throats. This family has had way too much media – enough of them already.
Secondly – Pamela Anderson??? are you serious. She's the biggest TART ever.
As for the rest of the lineup – NEVER HEARD OF THEM (with the exception of Jake and well ... he's just GAY, and not worth watching. He's already had his 5 mins of fame picking Vienna)
Yup – wont be watching this time round
Gee, is this show still on the air.......
The only good thing about the Tiger Woods' scandal was that it kicked the Gosslein's out of the headlines and eventually of people's minds. Now, on of my favorite (formerly favorite) show will have Kate Gosslein on????? What in the world are people thinking?
And, she would share the stage with the Olympic Gold Medalist, Evan Lysachek?? How sad for him.
I won't be able to watch until Kate Gosslein is voted off.
I was never into DWTS but I've been interested in who they picked to be on the show. I have to say this season's line up is a dud. One football player I would probably watch the show for, is Lynn Swan, former wide receiver with the Steelers. Talk about dancing... some of his moves on the field were pure ballet - poetry in motion. Another person I wouldn't mind seeing on the show is Angela Lansbury. But if I had to pick someone to root for on this season of DWTS, it would be Buz Aldrin. As to Pamela Anderson - be prepared for multiple wardrobe malfunctions. They're going to need a lot of sticky tape to keep her chest covered up. I hope they don't have them do the jitterbug.
If this is a lineup of "stars" then I guess someone is trying to redefine the word "star". With very few exceptions..........who are these people and will anyone care.
I am just glad Donald Trump is not on the show.
LOL I love the line up... except the Shannon part... I hope she gets voted off first. I don't really think it's fair to have an olympic gold medalist in FIGURE SKATING compete though... I thought this was supposed to be people who had NO dance experience so that no one had an unfair advantage.... I agree though more recent stars are needed.... none of the washed up ones.... I'd like to see some young hot stars, Jared Leto, Fiona Apple, Joss Stone... I think they should theme them... liek DWTS Musicians.... DWTS Athletes... ya know?
~ ~ ~ yawnnn
I agree. Spend some time with your children Kate.
Sounds like a good mix of personalities! Especially Buzz Aldrin, Evan Lysacek, Jake Pavelka, and Pamela Anderson. Will Melissa be taking the last Hostesses place?
Kate? Are you kidding? ABC should not be contributing to her neglectful parenting. I will not watch until she is gone. Hopefully week 1 so that she can get back to her kids. This household is already a one parent household. Now ABC made it a NO PARENT household.
BORING!!!!!!!!!
whooo whooo whoooo whoooo
I feel bad for Evan. Worst lineup ever. GAG! Not watching this season.
This is an abortion of a show
Enough already!!!
Yuck yuck yuck yuck
I'll be watching for the first time ever because Kate Gosselin will be on.
I hate this show,but for some reason I love Kate!
Why in the world is Pam Anderson on here,i can think of at least 100 other women who would be better off on here then her,she's way to fake to be on this show and i hope to god that she wears something to cover up those nasty fake boobs of hers and please keep all that makeup on because your face is GROSS without it.. and please get out of the spotlight on TV and start looking and acting like a actual mom and not a "WHORE" for your kids sake....Grow up your "40" something but look like your in your 50's already and your very very "OLD" news..
Looks like I seem to be in the minority here. I haven't watched DWTS in forever, but I plan to this season! This is the BEST LINE-UP EVER!!
Come on – Can't you just envision the Shannen Doherty / Kate Gosselin smack down? And Pam Anderson's decrepit body being held together by masking tape and layers of fake tan? And Ochocinco pretending to bribe the judges? Destined for greatness, I say!
Not watching this time, because I cant stand Kate Grossline, nor the conceited "my name is 85". Way to go ABC, you just lost a long time viewer.
I was sooooo disappointed to see Kate Gosselin in the list. She really needs to take care of her kids. I feel so bad for them. And DWTS... you made a huge mistake putting her on! I don't want to watch it now because of her. She just gets on my nerves. She is mean, selfish, and so full of herself. What was DWTS thinking? IF I watch it will be to see Jake learn how to dance. I will not watch her! Wouldn't it be nice if we could vote for who to kick off!
No Sara Palin? Rush Limbaugh? Ms. Coulter? Glenn Beck? Newt Gingrich? Now, they would boost the show's ratings not to mention SNL and the late night shows.
I'll watch to see Buzz Aldrin. He's a classy guy with a great deal of life experience. The rest of the lineup is a yawn fest. Can we vote to boot Kate Gosselin BEFORE the show begins taping? Blech, the woman needs to be raising her kids, not traipsing around seeking an additional 15 minutes of fame. Enough already. Maybe they're hoping for a cat fight between her and Shannen Dortherty for ratings.
such terd nuggets
The show should now be called "Dancing With People You Might Barely have Heard of. Maybe."
Evan yeah, Johnny Weir NO. He would be the one to want to wear the sequins and flills.
Kate & Pamela need to go first. Derek always gets some sexpot.
Jake, needs to go take care of Vienna.
Best lineup for me...now I won't have to waste time watching this season.....What happen to the Star part of the show....
Okay – this is a bad lineup, worst yet to be honest.
Just tell me how will Pamela Anderson get 'close' to her partner in the tango, foxtrot, waltz?????
Are you kidding me???
This is the WORST lineup EVER in the history of DWTS.
Pam Anderson?
Kate Gosselin?
The Bachelor Dude?
BUZZ ? 80 yr old BUZZ?
hahaha I"m cracking up....
won't be watching
I agree Josh, where's Betty White??
And I agree with everyone, ENOUGH ALREADY with the Gosselins!!!
Where are the stars? The professional dancers are more "stars" than this dismal lineup. I'm out.
This is the best lineup available after all the crap that went on last year to make sure Donnie would win!!! Every one knows it is fixed from the beginning. I'll not be watching it if it goes on for eternity! I have been taught honesty in my life time and this show is not honest and neither are the judges. I'm suprised they have stayed with the show. Can't they see how this show has brought down their reputations as honest people. last year was enough for me!!! I can't even believe Tom has had a hand in this dishonest endeavor. Iwon't be watching him any more either!!!!!
As one of an estimated fifteen heterosexual men across the nation who occasionally watch this show, I think Erin Andrews is red smoking hot. I'd watch her mow the lawn, pay bills, or work a crossword. Did I mention she is red smoking hot, and thats in street clothes. In one of those fancy dancing outfits? The fifteen of us will have to wear heat shields.
Kate.... GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!
A DWTS fan no longer.
So who is the star?
Kate Gosselin?? LOL Yes, poor single mother needs to make a few more MILLION to survive! Making a million a year on the show, plus the millions on the books and all the other income coming in, reruns, merchandise, etc, wow this poor thing is SO broke. I am SICK of TLC shoving this woman in our faces. Can her clothes get any tighter? Her boobs hang out any further? At least she is not getting this paycheck on the backs of her kids, YET. I fully expect a huge photo op, with kisses and "I do this all for my kids" LOLOL What happened to the new show starring only Kate? I think TLC finally realized she has NO TALENT, NO PERSONALITY and is NOT WITTY enough to carry a show on her own. DWTS has lost me.
I will NOT watch Dancing with the Stars since they have Kate Gosselin on it. She is NOT a "star" or even a "celebrity". She's a money grubbing self centered person who exploits her children for her own self gratification. Dancing....you lost a viewer. Stop Kate before she goes further in a life of exploitation. Don't encourage her.
I don't have to watch this season. It's not hard to pick the winner out of this bunch. Ms. Pussycat Niki. Justy hand her the trophey and don't waist my time. And they say American Idol is rigged. DWTS is in the same club.
The reality TV gene pool is officially now a dry hole.
NOOOOOO! I can't believe they're having Kate Gosselin! I won't be watching this season until she's eliminated. I love this show, but not with her on it, I won't watch it now.
Kate Gosselin? Nope...won't even turn over the channel to DWTS this season. Not to mention I don't know half the others.
Wow – I've never seen so much pent up hater aid and so many negative posts in response to such a silly and skewed Marquee Blog article before. Pinch yourselves – wake up – and realize you'll never be as important as ANY of the people your slathering jabber-jaw doosh deed for the day rhetoric has targeted. Idiot's. Do the world a favor and spend half the time you took thinking of all these ultimate burn blogging posts and see how you could do something positive for this malfunctioning place we call earth. Then shoot yourself when you realize we are indeed better off without you. god, really??? lol
lame
With Kate Gosselin on I ABSOLUTELY will not watch – a new low for reality tv. You might as well include the party crashers and the octomom to go even lower.
This is the worst line up ever..have been a true DWTS fan until now.
They really should rename that show
Dancing With The Has-Beens
Not that excited about the line-up but to be honest, I never am when it is announced. Who knew that hunky French guy before he was on this show? But he was a great dancer and really sexy! I thought the last group were really a bunch of unknowns or has beens. Unless you were a teenager, who would know Louie Vito, Aaron Carter or Mia. It was my least favorite group of all and I watch regularly. I look forward to seeing Evan and Kate G. but I'm guessing Buzz is going to be like Cloris Leachman – just too old to be really competitive.
Why doesn't everyone start listing who they would like to see on the show? But be realistic – no real star will go on that show. Maybe people at ABC will take notice.
I would love to see comedianne Kathy Griffen and former pro tennis player Mal Washington. How about Conan O'Brien – he is not busy right now!
I look forward to watching Shannen Doherty, Chad Ochocinco, Aiden Turner & Nicole Scherzinger but the rest? no I don't think so. Too bad you can't get Shemar Moore or Michael Weatherly. Oh wait, they are on CBS..maybe that's why you can't.. Or for the ladies why not Melina Kanakaredes or Emily Proctor..Or go for the big guns like Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock..or Matthew Mcconaughey..Now THEY are START...Kate? give me a break! she needs to be taking care of all those kids of hers..
"Dancing With the Stars" is the 2010 version of "Loveboat" or "Fantasy Island"-recycling once big (?) name "stars" by providing a much-needed job and boost to their sagging careers. Pamela Anderson's boobs will probably get in her way, and she'll go first! Kate G is only famous for her publicity. Never cared for her-too much of a narcissist for my taste. Buzz Aldrin? God love him, but PLEASE! Evan is the only one with any talent, charisma, athletic grace and flexibility. I hope Evan puts the rest to shame and wins-he's HOT!
Kate Gosselin??? We are sick of her, How much money and fame does her insecure self need? Do the right thing and start raising your kids for a change..
Sounds great!
the worst, i won't be watching and neither will just about everyone i have talked with.
I think it's aweful both on ABC and Jake's part that he would be in the upcoming season given that the girl whom he turned down in the final episode was so into dancing. Wouldn't Tinley have been a better choice...
Hey ABC, should have gotten Richard Hatch to dance with out clothes...DWOC...hahahha, anything would be better than hiring fake kate to exploit her children on national tv again.
Are there no REAL people who want to do the show? This has got to be the worst line up. It really makes me NOT want to watch this season, and I really like the show. Get a grip and get people we ALL know and love. Otherwise this year is not worth the time.
Contrary to what people are saying here, I think this is one of the most intriguing lineups that I've seen. I'm almost tempted to watch it this year. Almost.
What were they thinking!!! Kate? I definitly will be watching something else this season a blank wall would be better
Kate Gosselin, give me a break, she is hateful, i don't blame Jon for looking for someone else. I will not be watching this year, terrible line-up. If she and a couple others are eliminated early, I will watch again.
All worthy of 15 minutes of fame or less, but nothing more! This show is aptly titled Dancing with the Stars. What Stars, I don't see any stars. Are we running out of good talent and scraping the bottom of the barrel here? Pam Anderson, Kate Gosslin, whose next OCTOMOM?! Never watched and never will.
Where are the stars? Up in the sky, not on DWTS.
We will take care of Kate...let's all vote her out first....then Jake...jerk picked the wrong girl!!
Sorry, will not be watching this season. Invite some 'real' people to your show!
Jumped the shark for sure on this one!
For all you Kate bashers, if yo were in her shoes and this opportunuty came up don't tell me you wouldn't jump at the chance! You say you will not watch but I bet most of you will be watching when it airs!!
this will be the worse season yet – scraping the bottom for contestants
i guess programs will do anything to try and get ratings and the advertisers that buy ad time on these shows will hope people watch-advertisers should spend their money elsewhere. what next, TIGER WOODS?
Very disappointed. The show is still stuck in the rut of finding participants who are aiming at career revivals and individual self-marketing egos. I guess this is the year I keep flipping the channels. This will not compete with other networks prime time shows.
I usually dont comment but I just have to say what many people have already said. If you didn't think Kate Gosselin was a narcissist already well obviously, here's your proof. So ridiculously sad!!!!!!!! My heart truly aches for her children. How selfish can one person be?? There are plenty of jobs this woman could have that let her be there and love her children if she really wanted to. The dad has already left you dont think they need some kind of stability in their lives? WOW. But it seems to be all about image and having the best. Where is the sacrifice?...put family first, shop at goodwill and give up your spa treatments! This woman is a horrible role model of what our country thinks is important.
They should have got Betty White.
Hmmmn, someone seems to have quite an unfair adventage!
The only one I would be interested in seeing is Shannon.
I haven't watched for the last 2 years because there was no one I was interested in seeing. It is all about how sexy they dress and dance anyway. Boring........
DWTS has jumped the shark. I understand it's difficult for A list stars to make a three month commitment like DWTS can require, but IS THERE NO ONE OUT THERE BETTER THAN THIS?!?!?!?! My husband is routing for a Pam Anderson wardrobe malfunction. And Kate Gosselin – pluh – leaze!!! That "star" alone will make me turn off this show. She is an anti-star. DWTAnti-Stars.
I think I can speak for a lot of people....we are sick of KATE YUCK!!!!
This is by far the Worst list of performers. This program was great until this list came out. Is this a desperate move by DWS I will not watch this program until the last two weeks . I can imagine the pro dancers laughing so much . Is this the end of this show?
These stars are the ones you find in the tabloid magazines. This year won't even be worth watching. Boy are they scraping the bottom of the barrel. Kate Gosselin needs to go home and take care of all those kids she wanted to have.
They have Kate, would have been more interesting if John was on it also.
When a show is named "Dancing with the Stars" one might expect to see...some stars. This bunch does not even come close to the "D" list. This show has become a waste of electrons. Kate needs to GO HOME and stay, she has no talent for anything including raising a family.
Kate ? really. WTF is wrong with this country where idiots are popular and get rich? We have the nation just memorized by reality TV losers and glorify them. Buzz Aldrin? Really? you going to lower yourself to this generation of self absorbed losers?
OMG....I guess they couldn't get more interesting people and had to settle for this bunch. Kate Gosselin, doesn't she have 8 kids to take care of and how much more money can she make on these shows? And Buzz..OMG how old is this guy – he'll be the first to go. Not going to be watching this year.
The only way to redeem this show is to have Kelly Osbourne replace Samantha as host. Kelly is well-liked, she is current and people want to see more of her. Go Kelly!!!!
I guess Ms. Gosselin needs the money to pay her nanny(ies). She certainly doesn't seem to spend any time with her own children.
It really seems to me you have to be a complete idiot, make an a** out of yourself on a regular basis (and have it seen by the world), be a criminal of some sort, be gay (and obnoxious about it), be vulgar in some way, had to have made a home porn movie (and then acted so shocked by it) or just have no morales or character to make it in the US anymore. GOD help us!
These people are not worth watching, Kate Gosselin?????
But....where are the STARS?
I just like watching the dancing...back in the days of Disco I loved to get out there and shake my groove thing!!! I don't care who's on there...everyone stop with the negative comments...you're bringing me down. You know you're going to watch anyway 🙂
I agree with Ann B. Weren't Kate's 15 minutes up a long time ago??!!
Sadly, this is what is considered entertainment!
Kate Gosselin When will she disappear? She really needs to be a Mom now..
I'm DEFINITELY going to watch this season. I love most of these stars. And for the ones that I don't like, I can't wait to watch them make a fool of themselves. It's going to be awesome!
Kate Gosselin – too busy to raise her kids – maybe this is a good thing for the kids. I don't think I'd want to be raised by someone that controlling and there's the potential for eight less "Mommy Dearest" books to be written in the future.
As long as you keep Niecy Nash from OPENING THAT MOUTH – OMG – PLEASE SPARE US!!! "NYEA, NYEA, NYEA" You may have to change the name of the show to DWTSW – Dancing With The Star Wannabees. And it will be interesting to see how Pam is, ah, holding up...:D
You gotta be kidding. I bet the sponsors want to shoot themselves in the foot. What about Ann-Margaret, Stephanie Powers...there are so many others...a list can go on and on. This new line-up just wouldn't cut up any rugs.
they've lost me.
Kate goesslin what a joke. Get a real job and raise your kids they way they should be – stay out of the limelight
my 72 year old mother loves this show and she will love this group particularly Buzz. I hate to admit it but I watch it too and this looks like
it will be good.
A bunch of haters...Give Kate Gosselin a chance...I can not believe how many negative people live in this world...
Sure, some of these folks are not what we call "household names" but these are the ones who really bring a lot to show...I've seen every season of DWTS...in reviewing the cast, I see some "dark horse" contenders...should be another solid season for DWTS
This show is meant to be entertaining. Look at all of the buzz (no punn intended) that this list of characters is creating! Looking forward to the new season!!
Well, lets see...you have a blond bimbo with nothing but fake lips and boobs (okay, she used to be nice looking until she turned into silicon lady), a gay skater who will wear prettier clothes than the ladies, a geriatic astronaut (respect what he did but come on) who can't physically compete with the 20 something year olds (not what people will vote for), another blond bimbo who has nothing to offer us (she's a star? Of what...oh, tabloids count...), a washed up TV actress that everyone seems to hate, a LOUD mouthed obnoxious footballer, a semi-decent looking sports "Personality" (hey, their words, not mine) and who knows who those other folks are? It seems to me they aren't able to find real "Stars" to do this show...guess the real stars are doing something productive. I didn't watch it before and you sure haven't given me reason to watch it now....I"ll be watching shows with REAL stars...at least until I need to purge something and I turn it over to watch Pam Anderson.
Absolutely will watch...Aiden Turner is one HOT guy...not crazy about some of the others...but as long as Aiden is on...I'll be watching!!
Team Kate!!!!
Well isaid it last season time to quit this time i wont waste the time watching they should have added the octomom and it really would be the finsih of the show to bad it was good at frist but now its got really bad
Kate Gosselin is the absolute WORST choice! She should stay home with her children for a change instead of feigning celebrity. Having eight children does not make one a celebrity. On the other hand, staying at home and raising them properly might. It's certainly more important.
balloon boy's dad...hahahaha..that was funny........start the BOYCOTT...
Realities realities-- nothing can be any worse than having the Osmands' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you serious??? Kate Gosselin. I can't stand this woman. When did she become a star. I will NOT be watching this season. I watch nothing with her in it. She needs to stop trying to make money off her kids and be a parent. It amazes me how she claims she is so busy with the kids, don't you mean your nannies are??? Get a life Kate.
I will tape the show, fast forward to Evan and Buzz and watch them, then turn it off. (I have always fast forwarded through Samantha's "interviews"), I have enjoyed Tom Bergeron immensely, but I will not be voting this season as I have in all the others. If/when Evan and Buzz are eliminated I will not even tape the show.
Good thing the people control who they want to go.
1st- Kate
2nd – Pam
3rd – Shannon
Then we can actually start to get interested. As long as Aiden stays and is half as hot as he is on AMC he will melt all the lady viewers...Can't wait to just hear him talk....
Okay guys, leave Kate Gosselin along. (the ones that want her to stand home with her kids) She is trying to find a way to support them as she sure can not depend on her husband who doesn't have a job but seems to party all of the time. Get real. She needs to find any legal means that's possible to support her children. I support and I think it is an excellent line up. No one will miss the ones that don't want to watch. They will be the losers!!!!
I wouldn't mind watching Evan (ringer) or Buzz (for the week he's on), but I will not risk an accidental Kate viewing. (Although, perhaps the nicest thing she has ever done is make Pamela Anderson look respectable.)
I don't watch the show much, but I think the presence of Kate Gosslin will ensure I won't see it this season. The show is getting old and needs to be retired. When the dancers include people few viewers have even heard of, they are obviously scraping the bottom of the barell for competitors or else trying to launch "stars" like Paris Hilton (famous for being a celebrity). I don't think we need more Paris Hiltons. I like Evan Lysacek, but I won't watch this to see him dance. Better that there be fewer dancers than to bring in unknowns. But this show isn't meant to be dignified in any fashion, is it? We hadCloris Leachman effing her way through her stint on the show. Tacky just dived to a new low. Dancing With the Stars can't even hold up to the description of kitschy now. It's just trashy.
They might as well hand the trophy to Evan Lysacheck right now because there is no one on the list that can beat him. He is wonderful and so graceful.
Niecy Nash! This has to be good! I'll watch for as long as she is on it.
The only reason I am watching this season... Aiden Turner! 🙂
Sorry BUT...who are these folks? I dare say that I could only recognize perhaps one or two names at best. It kills me how the DWTS entourage always selects at least ONE blonde bimbo extraordinaire – i.e., Pam Anderson. I guess not too many celebs want to participate anymore given the fact that for the last 4 seasons DWTS has utimately selected individuals who truly were UNDESERVING of the "mirrored-ball" trophy. If I do watch it this time around it will only be to laugh at them. WHY you may be asking???? Well, honestly the people who are selected for this season do not come accross as having any "rhythm" – at ALL!!!!. Good luck to whomever gets to drag themselves to the finals taking all the tongue-lashing from that pompous-@$$ old fart Len and Carrie-Ann Inaba. Remember her? she danced her butt off during the "In Living Color" days as a "Fly Girl" – trust me, she ain't no "Fly Girl" anymore!!!!
I always wonder how in the hell was she selected to be a judge. The only "dancing" she ever did on the "In Living Color" show was "break-dancing. I sure as hell never-ever saw her dancing the "Waltz", "Salsa", "Fox Trot" or any of the other popular Ball room dancing that is performed on DWTS.
I am obviously the minority here but I can't wait to see this cast (with the exception of the 80 yr old) ! I LOVE Niecy Nash!
Guess they ran out of stars. Perhaps they'll change the name to "Dancing with, uh Other People."
would have preferred betty white or william shatner before that boring bachielor, jake! not to worry, abc, we'll still be watching, even if we have to use the rabbit ears!
Chad Johnson??? (Thtat's right, I refuse to call that idiot by that stupid last name he picked for himself!) You've got to be kidding me! And you're right, shouldn't Jake be preparing for his wedding, and subsequent messy divorce 3 months later? Sorry, ABC, but I willl definitely be watching something else this season.
Probably won't watch this time - should be able to get a better line-up than this!!
I am surprised they didn't bring in Sarah Palin. Everyone else has. I only know 4 of these folks. They just can't beat the first few shows where they had well known people.
boring--where are the names we know
This show and American Idol are ready for the bricks. Chad Ochocinco what's it going to be next season Michael Vick!!! I would say the winner would be Nicole Scherzinger. She is the only one with any dancing experence. I also heard Ellen is going to be a guest judge!!!
wow sharon, you think Kate should stay home and raise her children? She is a single mom and needs to make a living, this will be positive publicity. If anyone should stay home its sarah palin and her teenage daughter who should be home raising their children. I work with special needs children and so many of those mothers find things outside the family so they dont have to deal with their special needs children
You must think the viewing public are all idiots! The name of the show is not "Dancing with the has-beens" or "Dancing with the nobodies" it is in fact titled "Dancing with the Stars"...at what point are you going to be putting stars on the show instead of this fluff & fill you call stars. These so called celebrities will be the beginning of the end for a show that cannot support what is supposed to be star studded. Wake up and smell the coffee boys & girls, these are not stars...they're lost causes looking for a second chance at fame.
It seems this time that the STARS have been omitted from Dancing with the Stars. At best, these are people with 15 minutes of doubtful fame; at worst I have never heard of most ofthem, except Buzz Aldrin and, of course, Pamela Anderson. Seriously, who are these people and why are they considered stars? I did not think this could become a formula show, but it a young athlete or a sentimental favorite with a fan base is almost bound to win, so what's the point?
DWTS and Idol have run their course. It was fun while it lasted but both shows have lost the "it" factor. The worst contestants that both shows have offered is solid proof of this.
Time to start developing something new that will again take America and the world by storm.
Wake me up when you find the next Jerry Seinfeld or Dick Van Dyke.
Goodbye DWTS, Hello Netflix!
I thought they called it Dancing With The STARS? They should start calling it Dancing With The Washed Up Former Celebrities.
I love DWTS but why Kate...I am so hoping she is the first one OUT That's why I'm watching...I hope she get NO votes Her family should NOTeven vote for her.
Seriously – Kate Gosslin? She's so desparate to be on t.v. that she'll do anything. And why would she even be considered, she's not a celebrity or a star she's a mother of 8 kids and needs to be one. How in the world is she going to pay for people to watch her children? She's an unfit mother and only looking out for HER needs and wants and not those of her children. Go home Kate! (Out of the 11 I know of 5 and besides Kate, Jake shouldn't be on. Reality people are NOT celebrities)!!
I think it stinks. Have no interest in watching which is sad because I have been an avid follower from the beginning.
Seriously, the worst line up of all time! Are these people kidding.
this is dumbest line up of people I have ever seen on DWTS. This
season should be on the comedy line up. Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosslein are going to be the biggest jokes of all.
Guess, I won't have to worry about watching this season.
Completely agree w/ all of the Kate Gosselin comments. The double-standard of whether we'd see the same "should be home w/ the kids" comments if it were Jon appearing on the show aside, how is she any kind of "star", and aren't we burnt out already? (Answer = YES.)
Lori, you talk about Kate wanting to provide for her family? She has a nursing degree....how about putting that to use instead of being a TV whore?
Anyway, I will not be watching as Kate alone will make me puke! Only one I'd care to see is Buzz!
Kate Gosslin? Really? That's CRAP!
It will be funny to see Pamela try to dance with those DD's! :-/
The only one I'm excited about is EVAN! 🙂
How sad
The producers and the network should be honest enough to change the name of the show to what it is "Dancing with the has beens and other of whom you've never heard".
If you're gonna add Kate Gosselin...then I would almost like to have seen the Salahis (White House party crashers) instead. They might have been more entertaining to vote off.
Oh, gag!!!
Kate Gosselin? She of "my kids are everything, all I do is for them, trying to be a celebrity is all about them and my being a good mom blah blah blah..." Ugh! May she lose quickly to Pam Anderson–an actually nice celebrity mom.
Pam and Buzz in the final. That would be cute, actually!
Kate....come on. Raise your kids......I'm boycotting DWTS simply because of this one guest.
All you people calling Pamela Anderson a has-been - she's not a has-been, she's a NEVER WAS - NO talent, nothing but ridiculous man-made boobs and a nasty lifestyle!
I am soooo sorry I can't watch - never have missed a show since its inception. And I would LOVE to see Evan Lysacek and Buzz Aldrin. And the NFL is always fun. Unconscionable that you are despoiling their appearances with all those icky, untalented, over-hyped fake celebrities. Shame on you ABC!
So where's Balloon Boy's DAD???????? I think they are scraping the bottom of the pool.
The worst lineup they could have picked. This show has gone to the dogs. Who is picking the people on this show. They must be smoking some good dope.
I think they've forgotten the name of the show. If you look at the line up and think 'Who the heck is that?' to 95% of them, then they are not considered 'stars'. People from reality shows are not 'stars' no matter what they may think. I would hazard a guess that this will be the last season if this is the best they can come up with.
I agree that this is the worst line up to date. I do not think that people that obviously have had extensive dance or choreography experience, such as the Olympic medal winner, should be allowed to participate against contestants that have not, it's just totally unfair. This will be the first time that I will not watch the show. I think the producers need to go back to the basics that made the show interesting in the first place, having no ringers!
I loved this show, but am VERY disappointed with this line up. I can't stand Kate Gosselin. Never have seen a person so stuck on herself and use her kids the way she does all to benefit herself. I hope she is the 1st one off the show. I may not end up watching now with her on it. ABC must really be hitting bottom if they need her on the show. Again, VERY DISAPPOINTED with DWTS line up.
I won't watch anything with kate gosselin on it. No way!
Ok...Evan and Aiden...the only two reasons to watch...well, perhaps Chad O. will be fun 😀 Wow, what a waste. The next worst thing that will happen is adding Melissa R. to the show as co-host.
I am SO disappointed.
Sleaze, has beens, and who's that's? Perfect DWTS lineup.
Are you kidding me ?? The worst line up ever. I have been watching this show forever and really enjoyed it but this one is going to be very different to watch. Maybe we will see some surprises.
"Erin Andrews".. 'nuff said. I will definitely be watching this season!
What were the producers thinking? There is nobody to root for!
They are getting stupid with their line-ups, I am tired of seeing the football players, anyone over 50 is getting riducluous and Pam Anderson is just to see her boobs.
so disappointed in this terrible group of "who are these people?". how will pam trash even get close enough to hold a dance partner? and kate gosslin? please. this has been the show i never missed for so long but i'm taking a pass on this season.
I loved this show but am VERY
Kate Gosselin? Are you kidding? Time to turn off the TV and pick up a good book!
I think its getting worse every season. I cannot believe they cannot find real stars competition out there..DWTS needs to listen to their fans and get some real stars out there not wannabe stars.
Not looking forward in seeing this season
Whats wrong ABC, Lindsey Lohan and her dad not available? maybe the cast of Jersey Shore? OJ?
Are you kidding!!!! Shannon Dougherty, KATE GOSSLIN, Pamela Anderson, these women are barely human let alone "Stars". What's next Jon Gosslin and OctoMom? Poor Buzz Aldrin and Evan Lysacek getting lumped into this mess. It might be interesting to see what "old broad" Derek Hough will run off with. This show used to be so much fun, now it's just pathetic. Why not rename the show to "Bouncing with Boobs". I won't be watching this year. Thank goodness for Netflix.
They can partner Chad with Darrell Revis.
I feel bad for the dancing professionals having to work w/ some of these "stars" (Kate Gosselin comes to mind)
Go Buzz Go!
Who are these people????? I thought the show was called Dancing with the Stars. By looking at this lineup it should be called Dancing with the has beens. Seriously you couldn't do better then that.
Z-List stars that I've never heard of... yawn.
Really? your gonna have and 80 year old against Nicole Scherzinger, she dances all the time and knows how to move so does Evan the skater. Its a very uneven competition. If any thing it will be between them two. And Kate Gosling...really?
This is definately the crappiest line-up! The only one thats even remotely a star is Pamela Anderson! I am very disappointed, I will not watch it this year!
LOVE IT!!! They must be going after my demographic between age 40 – 50!! Love Chad, Love Kate, Love Evan, Niecy, and Shannon!!!!
This will be the first season I won't watch. Kate Gosselin is not a star now and never will be. She needs to be home with her kids.
Is there always going to be someone from the Bachelor/Bachelorette on now, too?
Talk about a loser lineup!! ABC, you have completely lost your mind!
I used to love to watch this show, but with the only interesting person of Evan Lysacek, I think I might skip this season..........Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosslin???..........you've got to be kidding!
Dang people......judge not – anyone remember that little statement. These people have agreed to do a show and are probably proud of it. I think all of them will be great and will do their best. And for goodness sake GET OFF KATES BACK ALREADY. Divorce is hard- especially when your spouse cheats and trys to take every dime you have like Jon did! I know- I am going through a divorce myself. She needs to do something to feel good about herself- so GOOD FOR HER! I will be watching and will be cheering her on for as long as she is there!
Scraping the bottom of the barrel this time around. Mostly "has-beens" – come on ABC
I did not watch the last installment of DWTS because the lineup was so bad (especial Tom Delay), but this one is even worse. It has three people I've never heard of, at least four people I seriously do not want to see dancing, one person I wish would just disappear from the news altogether, and the others are just odd choices. The only one that would be interesting to see is Evan Lysacek, and since the Olympians always win DWTS, we pretty much know know the ending already. At this point I can't imagine that I'll ever watch DWTS again.
why can't this show get ACTUAL "stars?" it seems like it would be fun for someone like Mariska Hargitay (maybe i just want to see Mariska in a slinky dress...)
Ha! Looking forward to seeing Kate! Everyone is always disappointed with the line up when it is released but the show ALWAYS comes through and is FUN to watch!
worst line up ever!!!!!! count me out this season.
Kate Gosselin??? Oh, my. The Gold Medal winner will win DWTS... just like the other Olympians have. It'd be a slap in the face to them NOT to have them win.
To those saying that Kate is a "star" because she's so recognizable , and because she's so well known ... please ... Adolph Hitler was well known too , and I wouldn't call him a "star".
Worst line-up yet. Count another one out this season.
They should change the name of the show to, "Dancing with Second Rate Stars."
I think it's ridiculous that Kate Gosselin is going to be on this. She isn't a star. She isn't a celebrity. She's a woman who had a bunch of kids and made money off of them...it was probably her grand plan when she went for her fertility treatments.
She's so used to being the center of attention where ever she goes. I wonder how she'll react to Pam, Nicole and Shannen getting more attention than her. She thinks she's something else but she's nothing compared to the three of them.
I don't think I'll be able to watch this train wreck. Although, women will swoon over Aiden. If you haven't seen him, he's quite handsome.
It all looks pretty good except for Kate Goslin? Attention fiend.
Who is she? What did she ever do except pro-create and put her life and her childrens lives on camera. The children never had a chance at a normal life from the start.
My opinion only
You guys have got to be kidding me, now, granted I have never even watched this show, but this lineup gives me reason to. i absolutely despise kate gosslin and her ugly as sin husband, so watching her mess up should provide good enterainment. ochocinco is perhaps one of the funniest people on the planet (please see youtube clips, anything entitled best of ochocinco will do). and erin andrews? she is one of the sexiest women on the planet (nicole pussycat sure is no slouch either). it should be fun to see buzz also, i don't know most of the others but it's not like you're going to get brad pitt and angelina to do these kinds of shows. for a reality game show, or whatever you wanna call this, the lineup is pretty good.
Change the show name to 'Dancing With the Has-beens'
No one exciting!! And Kate Gosselin, Pamela Anderson?? Really?? How about Josh Groban or any of the Criminal Minds cast? Yeah, I am a big fan of DWTS and usually don't miss it, but I will this time...
This has got to be the worst line up yet!! Kate Gosslin? What the heck?!?! They are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel this year. Does no one else want to be on this show? Can they not get someone who has some kind of talent and are not those who have already had their 15 seconds of shame...I mean fame? I could think of a lot better celebs they could have asked.....
This is a joke.
Who the hell wants to watch Kate Gosselin dance. They seriously could of gotten better people for this.
I am so EXCITED for this season's DWS!!!!!! I cannot wait to see a REAL HERO compete: BUZZ ALDRIN! Space geeks unite and tune in to support Buzz! Perhaps next season they'll ask JOHN GLEN! I just love it!!
I wasn't going to watch DWTS anymore but to me they made 1 good choice, Evan Lysacek. I am a fan so will have to support him. And Jake Pavelka.....lets hope he can dance better than he can pick a woman. I am through with The Batchelor.
Don't think I will be watching it. I guess the producers have run out
of interest people when they have to add Kate Gosslin and a few
others. Shame, cause it used to be a Great show a couple years
ago.
its a brilliant publicity stunt to get those kids seen again on tv and back to exploiting them...you know they will be seen in the audience and back stage more than anyone..they will keep her on the show simply for the ratings she is generating and the shots of the kids....
Why don't they ask the people who watch the show who they would like to see dance? I guarantee they would get a much better line-up than this one. I agree that this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Most boring line-up yet. Probably will not watch it. If I do, it will be only to see Jake and Evan. When they are gone, so am I folks. Maybe this show has reached its limit.
Buzz is too old to compete, but adding the geezer factor may get the older crowd to watch.
Kate needs the cash because Jon is such a looser that he screwed up the family's only income – the tv show.
Evan and Chad will be good.
Shannen's trying for a comeback.
Vienna better keep an eye on Jake with Pamela around.
Bottom of the barrel this time folks ... All except for Buzz, who had the right stuff then, but hasn't the right now to compete with 20-something peeps!!
boring i will not be watching this time
Kate G? Puhlease, she is not a Star? No way will not watch this season
omg this is the worst line up i have seen. cant believe u have kate gosselin or shannon doherty on the show. i am very disappointed & probaby wont watch this 1.
How many wardrobe malfunctions will Pam Anderson have? She's a malfunction in and of itself!!
Evan Lysacek will be the only reason to watch. Athletes have done well in the competition and there's no doubt he will go far and perhaps win the trophy.
Kate Gosselin?? Give me a break! She needs to go away!
Most boring line-up yet. Probably will not watch it. If I do, it will be only to see Jake and Evan. Whien they are gone, so am I folks. Maybe this show has reached its limit.
Oh please, anyone that says this is a bad line-up doesn't know what brings in ratings!!! You're all going to watch, and you know it weather you want to admit it or not. GREAT NEW CAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate.....uhhhhgggg – Not a star and so hideous....I'll pray that she leaves early so I can actually watch.
Evan and Nicole – this does not make sense...I'm sure they'll do segments about how they realized that ballroom is so different than what they do, and how hard it is...but really? These people are choreographed performers that are still at the top of their game....hardly fits the concept of the show where non-dancers become dancers. They should pair these two together so they don't have a "pro" helping them to handicap them. I think they'll be amazing to watch, just not in the spirit of the show.
Shannon, Buzz, Pam, Chad O....all interesting to watch for different reasons....the rest I haven't even heard of.
Just a really hit or miss cast.
who are these people? I guess I will sit this one out....borringggg!!!!!!
Why do people like Kate and Shannen keep making money for showing such conceited attitudes? Why is this country promoting people who don't care about the influence they have on young people? Why aren't they hiring people who really work hard and respect the people they work with? It's so very sad that TV tries to draw in the bad crowd for publicity instead of setting up a good group for DWTS.
Get some hard working, kind people that we can look up to.
Kate deserves to be working at a company like the rest of us and earning an hourly rate. She doesn't work harder than anyone else so why is she living in a million dollar home.? Because of TV ratings....so sad. People are sick of watching this when they can't pay their bills. Why don't you put Blogojevich on there, too? He needs some cash.
Shame on you for paying people who abuse others with their selfish , hurtful attitudes. Grow up.
They should have gotten Roslin from The Bachelor. People would have watched her!!! Why not? They got Pamela Anderson.
DWTS & American Idol are now first cousins – BORING & a waste of time to watch them !
Actually, i must be in the minority...I don't think the line up is nearly as bad as it has been in the past. Let's admit that DWTS has never had any "real stars". All in all, it's not that bad....however, I would have LOVED to see Betty White on the line up!
Can't wait to see Kate on it!!!!
Very interesting pick this season. I'm sure I will watch to see who can dance or learn to dance. Pamela Anderson, Kate Gosselin and Jake....what a hoot...... I'm not disappointed, surprised but not disappointed. Can't wait until the season starts!
I guess I am done watching DWTS. As a Canadian, Pam Anderson embarrasses me. Hopefully she will take a spill on one of her implants and have to bow out. When I can finally watch TLC again and it is not 24/7 with Jon and Kate – here's Kate again. You would think that all of those kids would keep her busy and not just her nannies.
Niecy is just plain annoying. Maybe this show has run it's course, this is the worst line up ever!
wont be watching this season for the first time in a three years. wouldnt give Kate Gosselin the time of day.
My 90 year old mother is a huge fan...until now. she's afraid that watching this year may put her into a deep sleep...one she'll never awake from!
I won't be watching - show seems to be deperate by many who will be on the show.
Great new cast!!! Buzz can entertain all the old ladies. The guys will love seeing Pam Anderson, Chad Ochocinco, and Erin Andrews. Ladies will love to see Jake Pavelka, Evan Lysacek, and Kate Gosselin. And with Shannon Dougherty there, I'm going to love the cat fight!!!!!!
I've always been a fan, but are you kidding me? boring boring boring. this show is off my radar along with Celebrity Apprentice for having a criminal (the x gov) rather than celebrities!
Yeah, not totally aweing as I had hoped. Was hoping Paula Abdul would be one of the professionals this season since so many have changed. A season of transition, lets not give up on it yet!!
Buzz Aldrin? Hmm, maybe he can fake his dance steps much like he faked his steps on the moon.
No Betty White ???
i refuse to watch anything that octo-mom fool is on.
my family and i love neicy nash...have been watching her on clean house for years...and she's funny on reno 911...we will be supporting her.
OMG!! Of all the people... Pamela Anderson... She is nothing but a piece of TRASH!! Kate Gosselin needs MONEY!! Forget me watching the show!!!!!!
OMG AHHHH and I just cancelled my HBO !
I will definately watch this season. One of the sexiest ladies I have ever seen is on this season. Nicole Scherzinger is very sexy.
i wish they'd quit giving tv time to the typical 'reality star' losers like gosselin. my wife likes this show, i tolerate it but i think this season, she's going to have to watch it on tivo by herself, like i do with some of my shows. terrible overall lineup, show is slipping toward the bottom.
I wrote when Kate Gosselin was first mentioned and said I would not watch my favorite show if she was included in the line-up. Guess I know how much that meant! The rest of the line-up I can live with; Gosselin needs to stay home and tend the children she brought into this world - maybe for a refreshing idea she could find an income that does not come from those children or the unreal life of television appearances. I'm so sick of "instant celebrities" who manage to string their 15 minutes into an interminable time span.
Worthless except for Evan. No "stars" among them. I love Aldrin but really - an 80-year-old doing the jive and quick step? As for Kate,she craves the spotlight, desperately wants to be a "star", and was willing to use her children for exposure. Anyone who spends that kind of money on her hair when she has 8 children needs a reality check - oh wait! She already cashed those - and is looking for more. America - send her home.
Note to Kate Gosselin . . . GO AWAY!!! SOOOO tired of you!!
Note to Pam Anderson . . . GO AWAY!!! Your "career" is SO over and no one needs to be disgusted by your skanky exterior on this show . . . kids will be watching, for Christ's Sake!!!!
Note to the producers . . .WTH!!!!! I've watched this show from the first season and it has continued to digress . . . this season's line up is absolutely the WORSE. Sorry . . won't be watching this time.
Lighten up people – you know that the majority of you will watch the show, even in spite of your holier than thou comments. It's a train wreck, and we all love watching that crap.
Kate Gosselin?? How will she treat her partner? Will she yell at him or nag him or emasculate him in front of the camera? Won't be long before the poor guy drops her on purpose so she gets voted off. (Just to be fair... Jon is a d-bag too).
The only two who even remotely interest me are Chad Ochocinco and Shannen Doherty. If they can make it to the end, it may be worth watching... only if that awful Samantha Harris isn't around to ruin everything.
seriously? this is awful. kate gosselin should hardly be considered a celebrity.
Was this the best they could come up with?? horrible choices.. Kate Gosselin goes the first week or I don't watch this season. I thought we were done with her, ugh......
Come on really Kate Gosslin we have to listen to her yelling at the judges. And the washed up Shannen Dorherty. Please....
I love how some people hate the idea of Kate G. being on the show and that she should be at home with the kids. I need to remind some of you that kids cost money and she's probably getting paid to do this. Some mothers in this world actually have to work and no sit at home with the kids all day. Someone needs to pay the bills. Do you think John is going to do it?
Steady gone downhill, not a competition a popularity contest, which is obovious by the past few winners, They have now hit rock bottom, no longer a viewer, I tivo the show before and I could watch a 2 hour show in less than 20 minutes, shows how interesting it is.
This show always sucks.....
I have always looked forward to watching Dancing With the Stars but now that I see this season's line up, I may not watch anymore. Looks like they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one! I was also very disappointed with the results of last season's results. I thought this was suppose to be a DANCE competition, not a POPULARITY contest. Donny Osmond should never have won. He was not, by any stretch, the best dancer! I didn't even think he had any fan following anymore. So let's get back to the basics and make this show what it use to be. If something isn't done soon, I'm afraid you'll be losing more than being able to get REAL CELEBRATIES.
Pretty B O R I N G
Gosselin will be the first to go. Then Buzz and after that, it will be a toss up with the bachelor guy and Anderson. The lineup is pretty lame. The olympian will be in the top 3 with Nicole. Can we say "predictable?"
You have got to be kidding me!! This is the worst bunch of losers I've ever seen!!!
This is the first season since Kelly Monaco participated that I am actually interested in watching. Finally a line up with more than 2 stars I recognize. This season's line up is interesting and honestly, I have no idea who I will be rooting for. Finally, entertaining television is back!
I am a fan, but, I must ask, who chooses the "stars"? This is the worst line-up so far. I can honestly say I will not be "glued" to the tube for this season. Pamela Anderson disgusting! Evan is truly a gold medal winner! Kate should be home. Buzz is admired just for giving it a try. Hope the next season will be more interesting.
I have not missed one season, am a very faithful follower, but this year the only one I like so far is Aiden Turner from All My Children. This is not going to be a good season!!!
I would have watched because of Nicole – she's a fellow Louisvillian – but I can't stand Kate Gosslin and I have had enough of bachelor Jake. Why do they purposely put annoying people on this show? I used to watch it – but now, just like The Bachelor, it has gotten more and more rediculous!!!!
I won't be watching this season with Kate Gosselin on the show. WTH were they thinking?
DWTS has been a favorite of mine from the beginning, I am glad they took it back to 11, last season's 16 was to many. I like to watch the professionals dance that is probably the only reason I will watch this season. When they announced Kate Gosselin I thought what a joke. Really hope she goes home first. Just one Question where are the stars? Reality TV personalities are not STARS. They are just people wanting to be on TV.
Looks like Jake "the pilot" is aiming for having a pilot for a series of his own.....what an attention hog!!! We've seen you enough...go away!
This will be hoot!!! I will definitely watch. I want Jake to be the first to go.
wonder what TLC is paying ABC to get those 8 kids seen in the audience..nice strong family structure, mommy flys all over the country, daddy is in a midlife crisis, and the poor kids get uprooted every other day, taken out of school and flown from PA to LA so their mom and TLC can get them seen on national tv again. oh, and when is this loser (no longer a bachelor) going back to work to start his life?
If ABC can't get any better than this, i think this show has ran it's course.....
Bad! and when they add the worse of the worse the one I keep hoping will go away forever, up she pops again – Momma Kate – when is she going to stay home and take care of those kids? the ones she wanted so bad!? DWS has lost me for this go round!
What? They couldn't get the Octomom?
Everyone says Kate needs to stay home, but she has 8 KIDS people! She has to make a living somehow because that POS ex of hers isn't reliable. Most of us parents can't afford to stay at home, so why is she held to another standard?
Last, but not least, who gives a crap about DWTS anyway? You people probably watch Survivor and The Bachelor, too. ICK!
Kate G...makes me sick. Seriously. Never, ever liked that show...I was an occasional DWTS watcher, now not at all! What the heck were they thinking? And Kate, if you are reading these posts, get a life...get your sh*t together and take care of your kids the way they deserve.
This show has been steadily going down hill, they have now hit rock bottom, no longer a viewer, its not a dancing competition anyway, it is a popularity contest which is obovious by the past few winners. I only watched very few dancers before anyway, I tivoed so I could fast forward through most if it anyway A two hour show I can see in 22 minutes. Mistake losing Kym.
Kate! Nicey! Buzz! I can't wait for this season to start!
Leave Kate alone, she's the main breadwinner, so's Nicey. And Buzz ... what a bonus!
Kate Gosslin one hot lady Give some recoginion where it do,Give her a brake she needs to work also ,Think she been thur enough, She will give a great preformance. Wish everybody would get off her back
This IS the worst Line-up Ever! Kate Gosslin????? pettiful....
I don't see anyone in this line up to make me want to watch the show this year. Goslin and Pavalka are both over-exposed. Get real, it is dancing with the stars?
This might be the end of this series. Your lineups have been getting worse and worse every season! You really lost me with that criminal creepy tom delay.
This season, Buzz Aldrin (hope he doesn't croak on the dance floor), and Evan Lycacek (you've had good luck with ice skaters). But, the others are just a bunch of losers almost no one has heard of, and if they have, it's been in a negative way!
NBC and CBS must be rejoicing this announcement!!
You can say Kate Gosselin is not a star, but then how do you explain the outlash? Her name is on these comments a million times. Like it or not, she is a star, and she was made a star by the same people that made Spencer Pratt a star, ALL OF YOU.
A "star" of years ago and a "star" of 2010 are obviously 2 different things. Kate Gosselin was a wise casting choice as it has obviously elicited a lot of attention, albeit negative (and all of these posts in less than 10 minutes!).
People should seriously look at their own lives before they call somedody a Has-Been. It's worse to be a Never-Was. And it is boredom with our own lives that has led to the Reality TV craze.
Will the likes of Kate continue to be cast on DWTS? That all depends on how many of you Never-Was people change the dial.
seems pretty lame, but I will still watch the season opener.
Kate Goddlin – needs the money to feed the kids. good luck, Kate.
I will watch it just to make them make a full of themselves. I guess this show is runnign its course. they better revamp the concept or cancel it alltogether.
This season is guaranteed to provide all kinds of FUNNY. I will be watching.
I loved this show until last year when that worthless Donny Osmond won. I promised I was going to boycott this season, but since there isn't an Osmond on the show, I might watch it. Hope Kate goes the first week, can't stand her sour face. Hope she gets a bad partner. Pamela Anderson is a train wreck – hope she stays for a while just for comic relief. What's with the football players? They are always bad dancers, but for some reason people vote for them until the end. They don't have very many "likeable" people on this year, but this might make it better, since there won't be any "ringers" (i.e. Donny O.) Hope Shannen gets in a fight with her partner and quits, put us all out of our misery. I pity the professional dancers this year. arrgh!
Awesome! Chad OchoCinco!! And I think Kate G. is kinda hot....
LMAO @ the guy that said Buzz Aldrin is going to do the moonwalk! LOL!
Only good thing about the line up is Buzz Aldrin & Evan Lysacek. I may not be able to watch it since Cablevision is in the process of pulling ABC off its line up. I will miss watching most of the line up make fools of themselves.
Buzz passing away in front of the TV? Thats crazy talk! Buzz is an American hero and should be shown respect. I do not understand why so many people are being so mean about him. I applaud him!!
As for Kate, hopefully she will be booted off quickly. I'm so sick of her.
DWTS is one of my favorite shows but I am very disappointed in 90% of this line up. I will watch the first couple of shows to give it a chance (if I can stomach Kate and Shannon that long)
I've never really watch a season of this show.. Just an episiode here and there. It was always a bit borring, but with Niecy Nash in the line up, I'll have to clear out the DVR space and put this puppy on record. What an interesting line up.
You guys are so harsh. Its a TV show. Simmer Down.
I am done with DWTS. No more! Kate Gosselin sent me over the edge. Anything for publicity.
what they couldn't find an other better B, or C list celebrities? And what is will the nicole being on the show? She knows how to dance, what a disadvantage to the other dancers. And Kate being on the show? Well i guess she has to find new ways to make money now that she is no longer on TLC. I wonder if next season we will have Jon. haha
DWTS line up this year is the worst
Again, I will be skipping in watching "dancing with the stars". The line up is not the best, but surely you could have had someone better than Kate Gosselin. I am so tired of hearing and seeing her name in the news. She got lots of money to support those kids for the show on TLC that she did, and along with all of her talk show appearances and magazine covers. Who will they have next "octomom"? I think this show has definitely run its course and need to go away!!
Hi,
This is a terrible lineup and doesn't interest me at all.
Is this the best they could put together?
Very dissappointing.
Define "Stars".
Someone in the casting department needs a dictionary.
I have watched every year....but don't think I will this year. I'm sick of hearing about Kate G., I sure don't want to see her every week on DWTS!
I can't watch this one. The pack of persons named stars, are not stars at all and i will not watch . I can't understand kate at all, she needs to go to the brain doctor and get her head on straight . She has eight kids and needs to be there mom, no wonder john hates her, she is such a looser. she cares only about herself, not about her kids. They made there bed with this line up and now there are going to loose in the time slot and hopefully they will go away for good.
What began as fun entertainment is turning into a joke.
OCHOCINCO is gonna dance away with the title easily!!!
This show is supposed to be entertainment - not a forum for skanks (Pamela Anderson) and witches (Kate Gosselin) to try to redeem themselves. I feel very sorry for the dancers who will be teamed up with these losers. I am an avid fan of DWTS but I will not be watching this season.
worst line upever. not worth watching. pull the plug while it is still warm!!!
Pam look out boys here she comes she'll eat you up she's a maneater, people that have worked with Pam say she is a very nice person. Buzz is a elder he has accommplished what many of us dreamed of, his generation did it all. It will remind me of taking my dad to ballroom dances when he was nearly 70, so I'm pleased with the choices. Miss Goslin and others have a chance for redemption that s always good for society to rejoice in the truimph of those that need a boost beyond their personial struggles.
I love that Kate is on...she needs to make money to raise those 8 kids while her husband is running around the country with different women!! Go Kate!
Please people what is a single mother to do since her ex is not working. Kate has eight children to feed so back off, at least she is not asking the tax payers to support her children.
I don't think this cast is any worse than any other. I personally love Niecy Nash. I watch both of her shows. I really wish Kate Goslin would go away, but I have to say that it is really unfair to bash her for being on the show. Really? This is 2010. Women, especially divorced women, work these days to support their family. And she has a big family to support so what she does has to be bigger than most. Bashing her is like saying "Why are you commenting on CNN posts, shouldn't you be in the kitchen baking bread or cleaning?"
I don't know half these people but I DO know that Kate Gosselin's 15 mins of fame should have been up a long long time ago. I won't watch while she is on & hopefully she is a mess & gets booted early so I can watch the rest of the season. Not thrilled about Pam Anderson either but I can live with her. Len's poor eyeballs will fall out of their sockets early on with what I can imagine her costumes will look like!
You guys are funny! Only time will tell if this was a great line-up or a bad one. One thing is certain, however..... look at all the buzz it is creating! I think they've saved tons on advertising and millions will still tune in to watch either the train wreck or because they are die-hard fans.
Dancing with the STARS? Change the name to Dancing with the WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
two words - pamela anderson!!! LOL! hope she doesn't have a wardrobe malfunction!
I cant wait to see Kate Gosslin in a tight little tutu. She is SMOKIN HOT!!!
Whose horrible legs are on this picture anyway?
Oh. MY. GOD.
This is like a train wreck and NOT in a good way. I don't think I'll be watching this season. Ugh. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Kate Gosslin??
Who watches this stupid show anyway?
Evan just won the gold medal and the hearts of everyone. I can tell you right now he'll at least be in the top three. Sometimes it's not how well you dance, it's how much you're liked and admired in the public eye.
I used to love DWTS. However I no longer will watch as the choice of contestants does not live up to the shows original concept. "A-B" actors with no real athletic ( can't count football but olympic ice skaters...are you kidding me?) or dance/music ability. That's when the show was entertaining! There is nothing to be said about reality tv show: Kate Goselin:-(
Have always enjoyed this – will definately NOT watch this season.
The only one that sounds remotely interesting would be Evan the figure skater. Probably won't watch it much. Getting tired of this show.
Dancing with the Stars must be getting desperate. Stars? Maybe a few of these people qualify, but most are small asteroids. Are they trying to kill Buzz Aldrin? At 80, the rehearsals might kill him. Now that would be a first!! Kate Gosselin isn't a star, she gone from distressed wife to pathetic. Evan Lysacek – OK he's a star. But the rest? They're either burned out stars (?) or wannabes.
I have been a fan from Season 1 but this LOUSY lineup is doing nothing for me. I may not even watch this year. The shater and the astronaut are the only two redeeming dancers...but will it be enough to get me tuned in? Unlikely.
I thought this was supposed to be Dancing With the STARS? Kate Goselin? A STAR? How? Just because she has a womb like an oven does not make her a star? Definitely not watching this season!
Who makes these choices? Never heard of most of them. I agree that Kate should be home watching her children. Can't say I'll be watching this season.
hopefully the guest stars will pull this group through-cause this group is so lame
I'm so disgusted with this cast. I can't believe that this may be the first season of DWTS that I will refuse to watch. Kate? Pamela? Jake? Seriously!!??
Love Dancing with the Stars, but this lineup has no interest for me
Awful! Pamela Anderson! Kate what's her name! Jake! Why not the octo-mom? I won't be watching. BTW – when does Jake ever work?
Kate Gosselin?!?? I thought the name of the show was Dancing With The STARS??? How does she fit in?? She has 8 children. How in god's name can she possibly find time to commit to the lengthy rehearsal schedule, not to mention the show itself?? This is a woman who needs to spend more time with her children. Let's nominate her for mother of the year.
ABC, you messed up. I won't watch anything with her in it.
Worst line up ever!
This show just jumped the shark. Much respect for Buzz and love Evan, but Kate Gosselin? "Star??" Really??? I refuse to watch anything with her on it. And while I enjoyed this season's "The Bachelor," I would much have preferred to see Tenley on DWTS than Jake.
Kate G.? with 8 kids who will babysit? She says John is inept but will leave them with him. Make up your mind enough of you already.
Terrible lineup except for a few like Evan...will be fun to watch him dance! Pamela (she's history) and Kate (OMG needs to stay home w/her kids) should be the first two to leave...then it will be worth watching.
That is it for me, no more watching DWTS, who the hell is Kate?
I'll only watch for like two people, and one will definitely not make it to the top 3. I will watch just to see Buzz move around, and I may watch Evan Lysacek. That's about it. I guess for Pam and Nicole, wearing skimpy outfits, is just the norm for them, just gives them a better excuse for wearing them. As for Kate Gosselin, I truly am sick of her. Shannen Doherty's washed up. As for the rest of them, I really don't know who they are. I vaguely recall hearing about the one being on the Bachelor or something. But since I don't watch it, I couldn't tell you who it is, therefore, they're not that big a deal. Yeah it will be a dismal season. They need to do a season where they can get the ones who came in first, and let them duke it out to see who's the best (kind of like an All Stars show). My money there would be riding on Apolo Anton Ohno for the win 🙂
AWESOME Lineup!!! This will be the first season I want to watch!!! Woohoo!!!
I thought last years line up was bad. This year is worse. I think DWTS has finally "jumped the shark".
ummm can we get some new people please. leav Chad and Nicole onn though.
DWTS? What stars?? I used to love watching this show. There were some real stars and some great compitition. now days it seems to be who can we scrape together for this. I defiently will not be watching this season. I think the show is finally run its course.
I will be tunning out of this season, no one is the line up interest me, really, really... Why Kate, why continue to give any air time to this woman who calls herself a mother.
Marie had many children also, no one said anything about her being on DWTS.. But It is a sad lineup this year.. As for Kate, hmmm.. Jon doesn't work so someone has to make a living.. But I am very disappointed in the lineup.. And Buzz.. geeze.. Just take it easy..
Sick of Kate Gosselin, Pamela Anderson and Shannen Dougherty – and the rest don't heighten my interest at all – except maybe Buzz Aldrin. I give him credit for getting out there at 80.
Faithful fan since this show started. Not one person in this lineup do I care to watch nor dail in for. Awful
WOW!! If they could have gotten Octomom it would have completed the "Dancing with the Losers" lineup. This was one of my favorite shows....not anymore....
Kate gosslin? Are you kidding me? She isn't a star...she's a worthless wannabe. Pam Anderson? again, are you kidding me? She is so sleezy and certainly not someone to watch with your kids. I agree with a previous poster...DWTS was scraping the bottom of the barrel. I bet if OJ wasn't in jail...DWTS would of asked him to be on. Naw, not going to watch this year. I will be watching Survivor and American Idol.
Looks like they're running out of interesting stars who are willing to do physical work! Pamela Anderson?! Shannon Doherty?! May turn into a cat fight before it's over.....
Dear Kate, Go away and raise your kids.
Wow – worst line up ever. Kate?!? You're joking right? What a publicity hound – and what a pathetic example of humanity, too. Hope she's the first to go, but I won't be watching to see it. Boo Hiss DWTS. Thought you had more class than that!
I agree, how boring. Have always loved this show, but may not even watch this season with such a boring line up. Shame!!
not so much 🙁
Totally uninteresting. Won't be watching.
Way to go, Niecy!! You rock, girl......and I am sure you will make it to the finals.
What a joke!! The people chosen was not thought out. I will not be
watching this year.
This is the first season I think I will sit out. Kate Gosslin and the other losers (except Buzz) can need to pack their bags and stay away from the cameras.
I agree with Sharon .. Kate Gosselin needs to quit promoting herself and take care of her children. I like Ochocinco for this .. if he can do as well as Emmitt Smith, he's got it made!
Lame.
Wow. Where are the "stars"? I never heard of 90% of these people. They really need to pick some actual "stars" for their lineup....people aren't really tuning in to watch unknowns learn to dance.
Won't be watching this season with such awful choices like Kate Gosselin.
Except for Evan Lysacek, the rest are not worth watching. The name of your show is "Dancing With the STARS!? You need to revisit a dictionary. Your show has been going downhill for the past few seasons and this is no improvement. You always include too many "who's he/she?" and someone who is a total joke. Your show is worthless. Go Evan! And as for Kate, p-l-e-a-s-e. If I never saw her face on TV again it would be great. It's time your show died.
Ochocinco? Child please. Kiss the baby.
What an aweful group except Evan. And why do you consider Kate Gosselin a star???? Guess it's down hill for DWTS from here on. Will definately NOT be watching this season.
Buzz Aldrin? This is gonna be interesting. I still miss Cloris Leachman from the last one...she was a riot, and very entertaining. If she can dance like that...then, everyone give Buzz Aldrin a chance. God, I still remember him walking on the moon many decades ago. Good Luck Buzz!!!! OMG...Kate Gosselin? Wasn't Octomom available? Oh, I forgot she got to take care of her 14 kids (what the hell was she thinking?)
Oh my gosh, DWTS has officially jumped the shark! They are obviously running out of ideas...UNLESS they feel that its time to cater to the millions of tabloid reading idiots...this is too bad....KATE GOSSLIN?????
Absolutely no one worth watching in my opinion.
Don't know half the "stars"
This will be the 1st season that I don't watch! I'm sure I wont be the only one either.
This is one of my all time favorite shows, but now there are NO STARS! Ok, Buzz Aldren is a plus for the show for the older crowd and will be a sentimental fav for sure. Evan Lysacek should do well. Kate Gosslin??? REALLY??? She's about as big a star as I am. Sure, you've heard of me, right???? She needs to stay at home and care for those kids. Who are these people and where did they drag them up from? None of these people are real stars. Oh, well. I will probably watch anyway because I love the real dancers on the show. Max & Cheryl & Edetya are my favorites. I miss Julianne.
As long as Kate Gosselin is on this show I will be tuning elsewhere.
Kate needs to take herself home to those eight children she claims to love.
Absalutely HORRIBLE! Just like others have said, I have not missed a season, but this season I am definitely tuning out. And I also agree that Kate Gosselin needs to stay off the dance floor (or anything else for that matter) and focus on her kids. She barely takes care of them already!!
Best one in the lot is Chad Ochocinco! Kate Gosselyn? come on... Enough rewarding these people with opportunities like this.
OMG worst cast ever. Even the people I have heard of I do not care about. & haven't well see enough of Kate G? Can we set up some type of conspiracy to get her voted off as soon as humanly possible?
ok cast i guess, nothing too exciting, but i am wondering why everyone is bashing Kate. She is aloud to go out and work and do something to support her kids. Just because she is the mother does not mean that she has to be in her house all the time with all of her kids. I see this as a great oppurtunity for the dead beat dad Jon to spend some quality time with his kids instead of going out partying all over the place.
It is a train wreck, but you all know you will be watching it.
Between Pam and Nicole, at least they will save money on costumes.
Yuck, what a terrible line-up. I love the show, but I don't know if I can relate in any way to any of the choices to dance with the pros. Maybe Lycacek, but Pam Anderson and the baby incubator lady?
No Osmonds???? WTH???
Kate Gosselin? What a joke. Her 15 minutes were up a LONG time ago. I hope she is the first to go. I love DWTS, but if they chose her, I'm losing respect.
It seems they have scraped the bottom of the barrel on this one with the exception of Ocho Cinco and Buzz. They really should have included the flamboyant ice skater, Octomom and Tiger Wood's mistresses. Now that would be a show. lol My true guess is that they are trying to end the show, because it seems by the comments that they will lose alot of viewers. I didn't know "trash" could dance. Hmmmm I will have to keep an eye on my garbage to see if it can dance and be one of the "stars".
I wonder if Kate Gosselin will be allowed to "TRASH" / "TALK DOWN" to her dancing partner like she did her ex-husband. This should be interesting. I am going to watch but I agree with most of the comments, it's a terrible lineup. What were you people thinking?
I stopped watching my favorite short The Insider because of the change of lineup and how they bring the program across to the people. Niecy Nash is way too LOUD for me!
I'm just saying there were so may other wonderful people they could have picked from. It's too bad, I'm sad. I think I'll watch the first two episodes, then I'm gone. We all know that the Oplymian will win it.
miserable....except for Evan
Only know 3, but that doesn't mean anything. Will be watching once again. New people, new challenges, new thoughts...
Not thrilled here either, but I'm surprised nobody's talking about Erin Andrews. Anyone who watches ESPN (or the news and stories about the guy who recorded her in a hotel) will know who she is. She's very likable onscreen and one of the few people who can do justice to the thankless job of sideline reporting. She might be fun to watch.
And Pam Anderson is smarter than most people think. Don't know how well she'll do dancing-wise, but she's got some good comedic chops and might be enjoyable. Lycacek will be the ringer, but at least he's a nice guy.
Most of the rest... ugh. Gosselin needs to go away now.
Thank goodness I can finally get rid of TV altogether. DWTS was the only series I ever watched and this line up will guarantee that I will not watch this season at all.
KATE GOSSELIN....Stay home: take care of those children you claim to care so much about: quit seeking fame; and quit singing the "My man did me wrong" song. You wear me out. Be a mother for the sake of your children.
I am certainly not looking forward to seeing Kate Gosselin on the tube again but at least this time we don't have to listen to her babble too much. I am confused because I was under the notion that she was a dedicated Mother with eight children to care for and that they were her priority. I must have heard that wrong 100x when she was on every program that would have her. I also think you should re-think the "Star' part in the program's name. I thought Kate was an unemployed mother. If she dances as well as she mothers she will be voted off early so that's a plus. I wonder if she will wear her new hair? Looking forward to seeing her voted off so I will watch. If she does do well she can buy a pole and start a new career so she won't be POOR anymore.
No need to watch this one... Pamela Anderson...will she be able to not topple over? Jake...give me a break...did you see some of his dance moves on the Bachelor? I may tune in for a good laugh, otherwise I will not be watching.
Good Luck DWTS
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this group. One must wonder if the show has just run its course and it's time to take a break from it. I think I'll be taking a break from watching!!!
I cant take one more minute of Kate Gosselin...so I will pass until she gets kicked off.
Evan – ok, Olympians are good.
And shouldnt Jake Pavelka be busy romancing that trash he picked on the Bachelor instead of dancing with hotties?

So they ran out of has-beens willing to go on TV and look like fools? Bring back Pink Lady & Jeff!
Stay home with your kids Kate, your not a star.
I bet they pair Kate with Max and the two of them strangle each other by the end of the first week!!!!
Have never been a fan of the show but will watch it since Kate Gosselin will be on! Love her will power to get out there and work despite all of the negative comments from folks about how she should stay at home. Way to go Kate!!!
Wrong...boring....will see! What a mess
Where are the "Stars"?
Well at least it will give me the reason not to watch this show any more. I was about to give it up anyway.
We've NEVER watched it but there are enough interesting people (exc Kate G) to make it worth watching this time.
I agree with everyone else. This is a terrible lineup. Kate Goesslin needs to be home with her children. She is NOT a star. I will find something different to watch than this season DWTS. You really are scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
Wow, D-list and no-list. Obviously, this is the last season for this nonsense. Good riddance. I can't wait to see whatever inane crap they come with to replace this DWTS with. Oh, wait, yes I can.
I am very disappointed in the lineup. I am not going to watch just because Kate is on the show.
Sorry DWTS, you goofed this time.
That is so sexist to say that Kate Gosslin should stay home with her children. She has to earn a living. Would you say that to a man that had custody of his children? From what I have read, she will not have to leave Pennsylvania for rehearsals, so they are trying to accommodate her.
How about Tom Jones and his swivel hips? If Wayne Newton can do it he sure can! IOr Kelly Rippa and her hubby Mark Consuelos. And, if you are really going for the mature adults try Regis. Or take the show to NY and tap more into some East Coat Talent -Sherry from the View is just dying to be on the show. Let's get some names that pack a punch.
This line up sucks. Full of unknowns and has beens. Who are these people??
Oh my, such cynical people. It's just plain fun – if you don't like the line-up – don't watch. Where is it written that Kate Gosselin is the only Mother in the world who has children and works, travels or does appearances!!!! Good Grief People. What ever happened to "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all" .... didn't all your stay at home Mom's teach you that????
To the rest of us – Enjoy the Show!!!!!
This line up is awful. Most definitely Buzz Aldrin is my fave to start with. What were they thinking? Most of these people have gained what little bit of fame they have by being tabloid fodder!!! So disappointed. The show will not last much longer if this is the best they can do (these comments are based on the celebrities not the national hero (Buzz) and the athletes.
It's not a bad Line Up! Love love love Neicy!!! Aiden is smooth; very popular on AMC; his character had run its course; you will all see why when It starts. Not happy that a goo goo doll though; they obviously have formal dance training
How old is Buzz Aldrin? Hope he doesn't break a hip...
Always love to see the variety of people learning to dance. But wouldn't give any show with Kate the time of day. For someone who claims to love raising her children, she sure doesn't spend much time with them. Will watch when she's gone. Hopefully it's early on. Lots of other dance shows!
Why is it that everyone thinks Kate should be home with her children and not any of the other dancers. I find that very odd! Good Luck Kate! I hope you bring home the trophy.
They never said it was dancing with the movie stars. Kate has had her face on more mag covers than any actor or actress. Give her a break...This is somethng she is doing on her own. My problem is with Jake Pavelka. is the dude giving up his flying job to be a reality star. I guess he lowered his standards. He did pick Vienna afterall. All in all this is a weak line up. Pam Anderson just may knock her partner out with the trip D's bouncing around.
Kate Gosselin? Are you kidding? Why?????
Kate: we're so sick of you, go home and raise your kids
Jake: aren't you supposed to be flying planes and hanging out with that Hooters girl? we've seen enough of you too
Pam: seeing you hang out of your outfits may be the only reason guys tune in
Shannon: screaming fits coming our way?
Nicole: not fair, you make a living out of dancing so others won't stand a chance
Erin: weren't you taked inadvertently, need more coverage do you?
Niecy: how you ever got on tv in the first place is beyond me, overated
Buzz: come on folks, the man will pass away in front of tv cameras, spare him, no fools like old fools
Evan: only one I'd really like to watch
The rest: who are you and I don't care.
Horrible lineup. Must be running out of choices. Lots of wanna bes and has beens.
Well, if I needed an excuse NOT to watch Dancing with the Stars, this lineup would fill the bill. Ugh! When this is the best they can come up with, it's time to cancel.
Jake should be dancing with Tenley. I don't think he is what he appeared to be.
Kate G. OMGoodness that is a joke I don't know about anyone else but I can't stand that woman. Maybe now America will get to see how much of a "female dog" she really is!!!!!!
the show is a bore to begin with. The new list is a bunch of nobodies and has beens. Yawwwwwwn
Kate Gosselin..really? I guess exploiting your kids and berating your husband on reality TV gets you the title of "STAR" Won't be watching! DWTS HOW DESPERATE ARE YOU?
I know I will not be watching this season. I have watched it from the beginning but this is the end for me. Kate to go the first night and Jake to the second. Buzz is to old and Pam's boobs will get in the way.
Why Kate Gosling? she should be home with those kids. She's the only reason I won't watch this season. Didn't we all have enough of her in the last year?
I don't understand why people are so hard on Kate Gosselin...yes, she has 8 kids...however, they're all in school during the day AND Jon gets custody every now and then as well...for all we know, she's rehearsing while they're in school and she will fly to LA for the show...we have no way of knowing that she's abandoning her children to do this...geesh!
I am SO disappointed with this line up. kate gosselin is a disgrace to women! She was a horrific wife and continues to jump on the "15 minutes of fame" bus. I can't believe that ABC wanted her. Good luck to her professional dancer. The media has to quit "giving" her $7000 hair extensions and moments on the "circuit". I have ALWAYS enjoyed Dancing with the Stars, but again, STARS, not a mean reality show, celebrity wanna be! I will DVR the show, but fast forward through her. ABC, I am SO disappointed in you! I will fast forward through "The Bachelor" too. What a joke. Vienna does not belong in the front row watching him...keep these people away! Seems to me ABC is merely looking for drama. How about just a "nice" happy show like it used to be. Keep these clowns away!
I hope Kate's hair doesnt' fall out when she's dancing...
AMAZING! everyone is going to be great! Best season ever.
Looking forward to seeing the hottie Aiden dance!!!!
I guess they don't want people to watch!
This line up is sad. (except for Buzz) After being a fan for all these years I will be watching something else. Anyone up for making suggestions for next year? How about........Cote De Pablo or Michael Weatherly from NCIS. (I know- wrong station but lets get some real stars) or since we are in the middle of 2 wars lets get 1 dancer from each branch of the service in to compete...there is nothing hotter than a US Marine in his dress blues!
Couldn't possibly care less
Will watch just because Chad Ochocinco is on!! He's awesome. Follow him on twitter! @OGOChocinco !
Really ABC....you could have done a lot better....You have officially " Jumped the Shark"....Lame cast.
Worst line up so far. Kate Gosselin, you have got to be kidding.
Buzz will win if they are asked to do The Moon Walk. He is the only one with experience!
Scrapping the bottom of the barrell but a good PR move on DWTS part. Pitting Kate Gosselin against Pam Anderson. Nice move, not one comment on Pam Anderson because she's over shadowed by Kate. What were you thinking? But it's Pam's place to be, very little clothes which is her choice of waredrobe. I'm sure we are going to see more of Pam (is there anything we haven't seen?) Anderson than most of us WANT to see. I see a wardrobe malfuntion happening.... Been a watcher from the first show where Ms. Monoco won for being a bad dancer and didn't have hope it would last long. I don't think I'm going to watch much until the last 3 contestants.
Clearly most of you guys have never seen Evan Lysacek in a tux. 😀
DWTS – please quit rehashing no talent loosers like Jake and Melissa from the Bachelor/Bachelorette. And the list this season – well, let's just say I am not watching! Loosing viewers already? Might want to take a moment and have a chat with your casting directors.
I love it! Yay Buzz Aldrin and Niecy Nash!
I was a devout fan the first few years of DWTS, but these last line-ups have had the hype of a deflated football. I didn't watch last season until the last 4 weeks. I may not watch this season at all.
I think this line up is great ERIN ANDREWS, Nicole from the pussy cat dolls i dont think the rest of you know what you guys are talking about!!!!
Cannot, will not, watch anything with Kate Gosselin...she turns my stomach. Poor kids...what a mess this attention seeking idiot is putting them through.
Dancing with the 'I can't get enough attention' wannabes.
Oops...I meant: Dancing with the BARELY Recognizable.
I agree with Jeffrey Ross...this show has become Dancing with the Barel Recognizable. And throwing the mean spirited Kate Gosselin into the mix is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. Did they not see how she treated her husband on the J&K+8 show and how she has sytematically, one by one, eliminated all family members and friends from her life? She is an absolutely hateful control freak...but since the show brought in over a billion $ a year (before we all saw how she REALLY is!), TLC is doing whatever they can to keep her in the limelight! I won't be watching this season!
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Who are the Stars? Jake Pavelka? Kate
Gosselin? Yuck.
I think it might just be interesting to say the least
Watched all the rest, will not watch anything with Kate Gosselin in it!
So Jake (foolish man) rejects Tenley. Tenley is a dancer. Jake is now on DWTS. What a slap in the face to Tenley!! Guess his 15 minutes of fame wasn't long enough for him!
DWTS is really scraoing the bottom of the barrel. I cannot believe Evan Lysacek worked so hard to win his gold medal & then he does this? OMG–we will never be rid of Kate Gosselin. My skin crawls & next week she's on the View!! Goodnes there is proof that our society is in a downward spin. Then who watches will have to listen to that idiot Bruno. It used to be entertaining–this year I will improve my mind -any book will do.
A bunch of " never heard of's " or has beens. Not impressed at all. May be the end of the dance line for this show. I hope not. I love this show.
I definitely will not be watching it this time –
NEW NAME!
Dancing With No Stars!
Dancing With Non Celebrities!
Ahhhhhh....won't be watching.....
No way, these are what we call "Stars" If I wanted to watch a group of unknowns strut around the dance floor I could turn on one of the local cable channel and watch the polka show from the VFW Hall. Hey Netflix, I'm going to up my movie orders for the next few months.
I've watched every season but I refuse to watch anything with Kate Gosselin on it. Not too keen on the lineup in general but still would have watched it had Gosselin not been put on.
Wow. Nothing like dredging up non-celeb, has-beens from the "Z List".
I actually like the line up all except gosselin, i really don't like that person, plus how does she find the time to do all this, plus other things with all those kids!
This line-up is terrible. How can they expect Buzz Aldrin to keep up. He will fail and then the judges will criticize and humiliate him. This is a joke. Kate Gosselin – since when is she a star? The producers of this show have gone to the bottom of the barrel.
Wow! Why do any of you care how Kate Gosselin lives her life? It's her life and if DWTS puts food on her kids table, leave her to it!
You have really hit an all time low. Where are all the stars? I am sure if you tried a little harder you could have found a much better bunch. This is terrible.
Now I understand why the ratings for this show have gone way down!
Its getting worse and this should be its final season as far as I'm concerned! What a joke!
Are you kidding me-that has got to be the WORST line-up ever!
Used to be a mindless, but very entertaining program. Now it's just mindless. They should fire the idiot selecting these non-people. All but Buzz ........ to the moon alice!
Oh ABC I am so sorry but it looks like your show is on its last LEGS, sorry for the phunnn.
This line up is not exciting. It seems like Heros vs Villians on survivor. What were you thinking?
Evan will clean up of course and he is the most likable contestant.
I am a straight guy who is in his 40s and likes to watch the show with his children and wife, but not this season. Goodbye Dancin Stars....
I agree with Carol. Evan Lysacek is the only dancer and only reason to watch. The rest of the line-up and sit and watch.
WAHT A GRRRREAT LINE UP!!! I can't wait for it to start. The dynamics with the women should be something to see. I don't know what all of you consider "stars", but it's obvious everyone has a different perspective. All you naysayers here will have your noses glued to the screen – who are you kidding? Silly people...
Evan will win, hands down. The rest are a bunch of D-listers. And doesn't Jake have a job to go back to? And a skank to marry?
I can't believe everyone is so focused on Kate – what about Pamela Anderson – hello....not exactly top of the line either – so fair well DWTS – you too need to go to the pooper with american idol
Yeahm wow.. first time ever I will be skipping DWTS. I can sit this one out. Wouldn't watch anything with Kate or Pamela in it.
Talk about scraping the bottom of the entertainment barrel! I won't be watching this season.
Kate Gosselin is just a nasty witch, which is why I stopped watching her "old" show two episodes into the first season.
Nicey Nash is too loud for my taste.
And Buzz? If Cloris Leachman can do the show at her age, then Aldrin can certainly do it. My money's on him.
Note to producers...how about real every day "normal" people do next season and have the stars be the "experts" for a giggle.
That being said, how about James Brolin or Lee Majors do next season...Both are very sexy (albeit old enough to be my own dad).
Bob Barker may be okay but I don't think Dick Clark (good suggest though) could do it because of his stroke.
How about Gene Simmons of KISS?
As for the females, Meredith Baxter, Lee Merriweather?
Basically anyone we grew up with in the 60s and 70s would do with lots of class and style!!!
It is unfair when you have one of the professional dancers leaving the show too early because of an aged contestant.
seriously, Kate Gosslin? That will probably mean I won't watch until she's kicked off.
though I don't think Kate is the first choice and I have never been her biggest fan, at least she is attempting to make money ...it's what single mothers do when their lame ex husbands run around with low class headliner wanna bee's and and ex con in the Hamptons – I'm just saying......
BORING!
They should have asked Betty White!
NOT! Good for Buzz Aldrin, but no interest in any of the others.
with this line-up, it would seem that they are running out of "stars" who actually want to do this show. They are all "quasi-stars"; flash-in-the-pan players....Perhaps it's time to hang up the dance shoes...
More than somewhat amusing are the voluminous protestations to Kate Gosselin's "star" credentials–yet somehow everyone knows who she is and even see fit to offer her parenting tips. Along with the condemnation of reality TV from fans of a reality television show and those who don't think winning an Olympic gold medal, walking on the moon, or spawning more hate-fan clubs than anyone in history meet their "stardom" standards . . . the post-modern irony effusing from this list's reactions are likely to become more entertaining than any episode this show could pray to produce. Count me in, cnn.com!
I think everyone chosen is a wonderful addition to DWTS. Who cares what their lives are or were like before, doesn't matter. What does matter are their dancing skills. Should be interesting to watch!
its funny that they call it dancing with the stars,, and a lot of these people are not or have not even been a famous in their carrers.. more like side jobs or extras.. Come star will be,, Mel Gibson, Demi MOore, Silvester Stallone,etc..
While i think the line-up sucks and i don't know who the majority of these people are, I don't know why everyone is bashing Kate. The woman has to support her children; if she weren't, you'd be beating her up for that. They will practice in Pennsylvania just like the dancers traveling to Vegas or a soap star's set for rehearsal. That had already been decided and mentioned in other articles –
Interesting how you people are apparently okay with has been Pamela Anderson – her chest will beat her and her partner to death – glad i'm not making her costumes – when will her 15 minutes be up; and Jake – give me a break – does this man no longer have a job?
It doesn't matter what Kate does; you guys are going to beat her up regardless. Me personally, i'd do what ever it takes to support my children – if that means putting herself out there, so be it. You don't have to watch. It could be worse – it could be Jon. don't judge her til you've walked a mile in her shoes.
i was big fan of the show.
i loved every second of it.
but since i heard that kym,lacy,juliannan & karina wont be appear on the show i have been very disappointed.
i just hope that show producers change their ways.
show will loose other pros such as mark and derek for next season.
Pathetic! No reason to watch.
I am so not pleased with this year's lineup! Pamela Anderson? Really? I think I just lost my desire to watch the show.....at least until she's kicked off!
seriously, if they had to struggle this hard, why not just cancel show...Hell....just throw octomom in there while your at it...can't really get much worse
Kate who??? Ugh, I'm out ....
Nicole should walk away with this easily.
This has to be the saddest, most pathetic group of people for DWTS in the history of the show. I just woke up my kids up from laughing so hard...I may watch just for the opportunity to point and laugh. 🙂
Either it nauseates me or....I have a hairball....and that's just because of Kate Gosselin !
Yikes. Is this the list the show wanted? OR do they try to get known people and get turned down. The season will prove to be the comedy of errors.
I hope they put a gag on Niecy Nash's big mouth. She is the most irritating one! I stopped watching the Insider because of her. Aiden will be the only one I would want to watch.
If they really wanted to stir up controversy they should have added Jon Gosselin on the list.
Well, if Kate Gosselin gets voted off on the first show I will watch it. Otherwise you have lost me for the season. What a horrible idea to allow this idiot more TV time. She needs to stop trying to make a name for herself and spend time trying to overcome her nagging, haughty image.
I hate Kate!!! Be a mom not a reality POS.
I will quit watching DTWS for that train wreck of a person.
I think Aiden Turner will surprise everyone. Not only is he hot, but he's young, well-built, and you're going to love those eyes. Watch this one!!
this is the worst lineup EVER!!!! the only person worth watching is Evan and because the reset are so bad, you lose me for the season
I suggest a lineup of Gary Coleman, Danny Devito, and the kid who played Webster. That's Entertainment!
Hmmm,,,,,,this may not apply to all participants,,,BUTTTTTTTTTTT,,,,,WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE DEFINE 'STARS'?
Dancing with the....stars??? What stars....the only one close is Gosselin and that's only because SHE thinks she's a star. Let's see how that bossy cow feels taking direction. The best thing for that family would be if she left...and John returned......I say that as a single mom for 15 years.....she treated her husband like the neighbor's dog and is then surprised he leaves??? No person should be treated the way she treated that man.
Perhaps Buzz could do the "Moonwalk"!
Just for Nicole 😉
...and I promised the Mrs. I would watch the next season. DOH!
I like this lineup. I agree Kate shouldn't be on there,but the rest is good.With Pam on we'll see some Tommy Lee.I hope Max gets someone good this time. They always give him the crappiest person on .I hope he Nicole. Shannon is always a "B" so tjhat should be interesting. I'm excited they finally got some stars on this show,not just has beens and wannabe's.
Really. Kate Gosselin. I thought this was dancing with the STARS. So boring. another year that I WONT WATCH! so tired of all these reality shows having these has-been "stars" on. There's something to say about the "D" list.
This WAS one of my favorite shows. What ARE you thinking????? Really, aren't there any "stars" that want to do this?
Another show gone bad and not worth watching its not the people its the producers or choosers.
how about "special categories": winter olympic medalists, against summer olympic medalists, soap opera stars against only other soap opera stars, hollywood movie stars against only other movie stars, tv drama stars against each other, radio talk show hosts against each other, professional sports stars against only professional sports stars, etc, etc, etc. love the kid segments.
keep it clean.
no-no's: politicians, criminals, porn stars, persons trying to promote alternative lifestyles, centerfolds, etc.
This is the worst lineup since the show began. 1/2 of them are relatively unknown to the majority of viewers. There also seems to be a lot less participants! I predict this will be the lowest ratings season, expecially if Pam Anderson finds herself voted off early. Who will watch?????
Won't watch...got to Ochochino's name and thought "jerk"; then I saw Kate Gosselin's name and thought "there is no way in hell I will watch." Maybe next year.
DWTS has not only scraped the bottom of the barrel....they have dredged it. Most of these people are not 'stars' and with the exception of Buzz Aldrin or Evan Lysacek, I wouldn't aspire to be any of them. Most are spotlight grabbing morons who see this as one more chance to get their mugs in front of a camera. Maybe they should change the name to "Dancing with a Bunch of People Who Made The Headlines in the Last Few Years." I'm surprised they don't have the "Octomom" in the lineup. Definitely time for this show to go.
Kate Gosselin! BOO!! Stay home with your kids!
Monster lineup I am on!!!!!!!
Boring!
What a joke. Some of these choices are really stretching it don't you think?
Show should be called "Dancing with Anyone Goes"
DWTS = AWOT*
* = A Waste Of Time.
I hear yall on this crazy line-up with Kate Mom n 😯 yr old underdog n such -but I cannot believe that nobody would wanna watch just to see olympian and pam anderson! she's a has been? really? thats depressing! how sexy do you hafta be anymore for people to wanna watch ya? She can't act but maybe she can dance! who knows! 🙂
Kate G, are you serious. I'm done with this show
Will NOT be watching this season because of the sheer fact that KATE is on. She needs to be at home w her kids, not making even more of a fool out of herself on national tv. All I can say is EEEWWW!!
How about a new head judge. Lynn Goodman is to old, cranky, and inconsistant in his judging.
Kate Gosselin? DWTS should go after stars, who are famous, not infamous.
This line up of people to dance is the worst.
The time has now come to pull the plug on Dancing with the stars.
i think you are all missing the point... ERIN ANDREWS>>>>
ENOUGH SAID
"If Pamela Anderson goes very far, I'll quit watching."
She never disappoints. She always goes all the way.
Kate needs to learn how to dance so that she can make her kids win America's Best Dance Crew. She has plenty of them to make their own crew.
Kate's only on for the ratings.
WOW, really? Is this the best you can do. I hate to add to the Kate hate train but I along with just about everyone else am tired of hearing the name Kate Gosselin. She (and her ex-husband) need to review the headlines for the last year and think about what their children will hear in a few years. Stop thinking about yourself and take responsibility for your children. Allow them to have a private life without anymore controversy.
What an amazing lineup- I might even say the best yet! But isn't it cheatng that Evan and Nicole are basically professional dancers already? I predict Evan, Nicole and Ochocinco in the top three... I am excited!
Enough already with all the anti-Kate comments! Just because you're a mother doesn't mean you shouldn't have a life. At least she's not tramping around like her ex-husband. Leave her alone already!!!
Stars??? These are has beens!!! And Gosselin since when is she a star?? She needs to get a real job and support those kids. It seems like the show continues to lower it's standards. I will not watch.
Aiden PLAYED a guy named Aidan. He's not on All My Children anymore.
Why would you do this to a true hero like Buzz Aldrin?
UUUUHGGGGHHHHHH.WHy not just roll out Octomom?THis is trash. Here's my wish list:
Tiger Woods
Johnny Weir
John Travolta
Conan OBrien(needs the work)
The Situation
Kelly Ripa
Monica Lewinsky
Perez Hilton
Is this "Dancing with the Burnt-out Stars'? There never were any real A-list stars anyway, maybe Chloris, Maybe Donny and Marie... but nobody current. So may only watch for two reasons: Pamela with more on than usual, and KerriAnnInaba!!!
Where is the OCTOMOM?
Her womb is like an air-craft carrier, and needs to be represented ... I m outraged by the white people here!
Let her dance until her water breaks, like Flashdance!
If Kate Gosselin can breast-feed while dancing, than why not?
She's desperate! She only has ... multiple nannies, a nutritionist, a personal trainer, a PR rep, and talent agent, a make-up artist and a hair stylist. How can she be expected to TAKE CARE OF 8 CHILDREN ... ONLY with a line of products, a book deal, constant magazine coverage, and a nationally syndicated TV show with royalties?
That's just insanity!
I encourage poor ghetto baby-mammas to watch her show ... STEP UP and REPRESENT!
Americas baby-machine NEEDS TO DANCE and shake her money-maker!
By the way, her ex is a DIRT BAG AS WELL ... this aint just no anti-Kate tirade. John is a C-sucker.
Have fun wasting your time!
KateGooselin?WHy do the always have to include a woman that everyone hates(HeatherMills). They should have gotten Snookie or JWOW instead.
from the network that invented jumping the shark tank... looks like their time is up
Hurrah for "DANCING WITH THE SCARS"... Pamela for sure, likely most of them..... and how about that new category, lap dancing with the scars.. and then "St . Vitus Dancing with the scars"... needless to say what a joke.
the show is going to be a huge success!! glad to see dwts reaching out to a broader base of followers. smart move. who doesn't love ochocinco!!
I think I’ll catch the highlights with Joel McHale on The Soup
Erin Andrews is sexy and shell be the only reason i watch
Can we ever be rid of Jake-the-Fake? Please!
I mean, come on
I think this fun show has just run its course and now it's the bottom of the barrel for "Stars". I'm so disappointed!
Well, if DWTS does a Michael Jackson tribute, Buzz Aldrin should win the moonwalking competition.
Yikes!! What was DWTS thinking? Kate Gosslin needs to be a Mom to her 8 kids, and get over herself. The only thing that could have possibly made the line up worse was adding Jon. Glad I won't be watching here in Saudi!!
You win Dancing with NO stars... what a crime for wasted time... can't watch it this year and maybe not ever again. You went from have good hearted, wholesome dancers/stars to the worst of tv gossip and drama... yuk yuk yuk
Ochocinco will be the only entertainment.... Kate Garbage... really? Shouldn't she be taking care of her children?
"I only know two of these people:
Shannen Doherty – Idiot
Buzz Aldrin – 80 years old – R U Kidding me"
If you only know those two people you may need to re read the list or get out of your basement.
duh....what a bunch of losers, why is this show on the air????? Don't you people have a life?????
LOL Chad Ochocinco? Will watch.
That's a line-up all right.........keep Evan bare-chested the entire season and the ratings will be off the chart. Have you seen this man without his shirt. You should 🙂 He's may be the sole person in the line-up that will save the show.
Kate who ? I thought this was dancing with the stars ?
No reason to watch this season, except maybe for the jiggle factor with Pamela Anderson,.. wonder what's on cable during this time slot?
What a disappointment !
What were they thinking????? Sorry but I will not watch this season, so disappointing.
KATE GOSSELIN????? You gotta be kidding me. I'm SOOOOO tired of hearing about her. Good grief. I agree with whoever said just give Evan the trophy and spare us the rest....
yep Laurie – I agree – won't be watching this seaon. What a horrible lineup.
I think this season line up sucks. I hope that Kate Gosselin is voted out of the first round. I think dancing with the stars needs to put on actors and actress and not just sports, and daytime tv show personalities. I would not mind seeing clint eastwood do the mambo. I
Lynn! I agree with you about Kate! 100% ! I'd like to see her on a real program too! But, what better place than with DWTS! Jon will not be there to encourage her, or catch her. This could be the "fall", "slip", "trip" for Kate!
and bring back Kristi Yamaguchi!!
Hey c. wall, that 80 yr old ex whatever he is is an astronaut and walked on the moon. You couldnt even hold his jock. Show some respect chump.
Keep Kate! This could be interesting! .. ... But, was this the best you could do? Need to start over.
Congrats to getting Evan on...one of America's most recent Gold Medalists, but Kate Gosselin...are you kidding! I love DWTS, but this is an all time low! She needs to stay home with her kids. Hasn't she had enough ridiculous publicity. Get real. I've been to several live tapings, but I won't be trying to sit in on this coming season. This lineup IS sad (except for Evan & Buzz). Aren't the lineups supposed to get better? I know it's tough to beat Donny Osmond and group, but to totally go downhill from being on top last season???? Very disappointing DWTS!
It looks as though the response is just what you all need to hear....the vast majority of the outspoken surely shall be watching ...to see how they all "fail"...Really, you know back in the day, the '60's, a young "big mouth" boxer arrived on the scene...yes C. Clay...he too was not "liked" at the time of his arrival. Yet many people paid big bucks to "see him get his butt kicked" But Actually this smart boxer drew the largest crowds and made the most money of any sports professional at the time. He was the best of the best and simply went out and proved it...you all have short memory remember "Kelly"...she was really an unexpected delight!
Why would the world's greatest figure skater associate himself with such C-listers?
The only name that will have me watching is Erin Andrews, which will be refreshing to see more of her than on the sidelines from the waist up. Buzz won't be bad and Ocho Stinko should be good for some laughs. The wannabes/neverwas/hasbeens are bad enough, but Pamela and Kate? Thank heavens for the remote!
DWTS – I have watched every season. I will probably quit now. You put people on that don't need anymore air time (pilot and Gosselin) and you get rid of good professionals. Whoever decided on this lineup, has a screw lose!! You blew this one. This is going to suck. You lost a favorite customer and my votes.
Kate Gosselin – yech. Buzz Aldrin ? Well, don't laugh yet. There was a couple, both 80 something, at our local dance hall a few years back that could cut the rug better than anybody else in the place. If he's in good shape for his age, he might surprise everyone. If he's not, let's just hope he doesn't have a heart attack. Aiden Turner is gorgeous; if nothing else, worth watching to me just to look at him.
I think this is one series I will be skipping. There isn't one there that I can say I care to follow.
You're calling Buzz Aldrin a loser? Seriously? People have no respect at all anymore, I swear.
Kate plus eight – why? I think I'll pass on this current batch of "stars".
Never missed a show since it's inception, BUT! This is an absolutely terrible, boring line-up. No class.
I'm confused. ABC has Aiden Turner instead of Pamela Anderson. ??? I don' t watch the show, but this line up
actually intrigues me.
Jate should be paired with Jon.
this is seriously the most stupid line up. Is someone at ABC trying to kill their career???
Ridiculous line up. As others have said, Evan would be the only reason to watch and that's not good enough for me to invest. Bah bye DWTS.
I have been a DWTS addict since the first season......changed my shift at work so I could watch. It used to be so classy and fantastic to watch. I read the lineup, and when I got to (ugh) KATE GOSSELIN, I threw up in my mouth. I will never, ever, ever watch anything she is on. She is the nastiest person I have ever seen or heard, on or off television. You need to support your kids??? Get a real job. Kate is the biggest publicity seeking wannabe I have ever seen. Cannot, will not watch this season til she is gone.
I think this is the worst line up since the show conception. Why didn't the show tap into Food Network and get Bobby Flay or Emril....someone that everyday people can relate to? Buzz has my vote!
reality tv personalities are not stars
Cmon, guys, yeah yeah I had the same reaction when I say Kate Gosselin's name on it but I thought, at least they didn't get Jon...that could have been more awful!!!!!!!!!
Someone's missing in that line-up...OCTOMOM!!!! LOL
I think there should be at least one more figure skater in the lineup to make the winner just a little less obvious. (How about a Sasha Cohen or a Michelle Kwan?) Pitting everyone else against a champion figure skater is just unfair, as figure skaters are just one tiny shift away from being exquisitely trained dancers. One might even say dancing is the easier art. The competition isn't even going to be close - we might as well crown Evan Lysacek the winner and be done with it. The good part about having him on the show though, is that we'll be able to see some real, technically superb dancing throughout the season, at least in one couple.
Also, I am happy to see Kate Gosselin the lineup!
We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom! We want the Octomom!
We love DWTS at our house so will watch at least the first night to give this season a chance, but that is a very "surprising" list of "stars". I agree with other posters: how does a single mom with eight very young children have the time for this show? Maybe the fans will give her a break and let her leave early. I'm looking forward to watching the men – especially Buzz Aldrin, Evan Lysacek and Jake Pavelka.
I think they should invite Manny pacquiao to dace...Maybe Paquiao can beat Mayweather in dacing..I hope they don't require Dance Olympic Style drug testing due to Pacquiao's superb dancing skills...hehehehe
Buzz Aldrin? Totally Cool! The rest?...jumping the shark for sure!
DANCING WITH THE NOBODIES would be a more apt title. When's a real STAR come aboard - where's the Octomom????
Bud Aldrin? Totally Cool! The rest?...jumping the shark for sure!
It's too bad there are no celebrities this season. At least the "stars" should be known by the general public. I don't think I will watch this year. The show has deteriorated to a formula for selecting stars but these people are not stars and never were.
I am really disappointed. Even the judges have sterotyped themselves. So long to what was once a classy show.
Hey since they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with Kate Gosselin for DWTS, why not add Sarah Palin too! They both love attention AND being in front of the camera and neither could win Mom of the Year Award. How about a soap opera with Kate & Sarah called "As the Nausea Returns?"
OMG...Go away Kate Gosselin!!! No one likes you, you wretched woman! Take care of your kids and stop trying to get your ugly face on tv. You are such and irresponsible mother, and it's a wonder why anyone would want to see your annoying attitude every week.
You're jkg..........aren't cha~u r wantin to KILL the show with this DWTS........'Kate'! OMGosh....what r u thinkin?? 'Pam Anderson????
WHAT R U THINKIN?????????????? The talent has gone out the door. Wish we could vote already
YAWN
It really doesn't matter who they get. The real stars are the professionals and that's why I watch it.
I was looking forward to a new DWTS, but having Kate Gosselin totally ruins it. I will not watch until she gets kicked off. She needs to be at home with her kids (Jon too, of course).
If there was an option to vote to kick someone off, I would burn the phone lines with the quickness to kick her off.
Yay for Evan Lysaceck! He will make the show worth watching. However, if he get booted, I won't be watching after that.
This is the absolute worst lineup I've seen – I sincerely doubt that I will follow this through
DWTS has been the only "reality show" I've ever watched. But this "lineup" is the worst I've seen. Kate Gosselin? Why not Dancing with Your Average Person. THAT would be more entertaining than what will be on this season.
Glad to know that we'll still see Aiden even though he's not on AMC anymore.
I heart him...he's a hottie.
Like it or not...Kate Gosselin is a star. You all know her name. Her name was in the title of that show where she and Jon used their kids to make money. I don't like it either, but we've got to be honest with ourselves....DWTS is a reality show, too, and she is prime reality material for people who watch that stuff.
kate needs to go away from everything. No more Kate. Go be with your family and start being a mom!!!
Well, at least we won't have to watch Marie fainting or listening to her talk about her dolls!
Nicole the pussycat doll will be the winner! Kate will probably dance well but she won't get far because of a small fan base and so many people dislike her! Buzz willl be on for a while because he'll get the American hero and senior vote. I bet Neeicy will do well. Pam, Shannon...tramps!
Unfortunately, I agree with a lot of the posts........this is the worst line-up yet. I was a faithful viewer but not this season. Give your faithful viewers more credit then to pass Kate Gosslin off as star.
So Kate is going to leave her 8 kids and go to LA for however long it lasts? Great Mom. Mom of the year. Super Mommy. She is such a disgrace. Why doesn't she just slink off into oblivion? I feel so bad for those kids.
Not pleased at all with the rag-tag lineup, however, am more upset over the loss of Kim and Jonathan, the professional dancers. Probably would have been better with Betty White and Abe Vigoda. At least they are true "Stars"! Thank goodness for DVR so that I will be able to fast forward through some of these pathetic misfits to watch only the couple of deserving contestants.
I'm actually kind of surprised that people think this is a disappointing line up, or that they haven't heard of them (don't u people read the news?). I think that collectively it's much better than past seasons!The only reality stars (if you don't count Pam Anderson, lol) are Kate Gosselin (J&K plus 8) and Jake Pavelka (The Bachelor), both of whom are going to draw a big audience from the followings of their shows. Though some may be tired of Kate, don't forget that her show was #1 on TLC. So, she's kind of a big deal. Evan Lysacek is the olympic men's gold medalist in figure skating, so it'll be cool to see how that transfers. Erin Andrews, Shannen Doherty, Buzz Aldrin, the sexy pussycat doll lead singer...I might actually watch this season!! The only one I've never heard of is Aiden Turner, and Niecy Nash is not really a 'star' but maybe they want the audience she can bring in.. I already hope those 2 are among the first to go :-).
Doesn't Kate Gosselin have all of those kids to raise?! Where is she finding the time to invest in practicing dancing hours a day? Great mom... those kids are screwed.
I agree w/th the comment from LMB – "Where Are The Stars"? Well, where are they. I have watched this shoq from the beginning, and unfortunately it seems since about show 5, the so call "Stars" have gotten less and less from being true stars. If your can't find anyone, then just let the show be cancelled & go out w/dignity. I don't think they should have one of the Pussy Cats on because they are dancers!!! How fair is that to everyone else. And, who the heck are Nicey Nash, Erin Andrews, Jake Pavelka? Never heard of any of them. Bring back season 1.
HATERS!!!! Whatever, you know you will watch DWTS! And yes Kate is more of a star than any of you fools!
I have watched this show EVERY season but not this one. The only reason to peek would be Evan. Pamela and Kate – kidding right. And, I have so much respect for Buzz Aldrin but really. This is really, REALLY disappointing and had been looking forward to the start of the new season. Why – why won't they make a selection of people that would be entertaining to watch and would actually be able to compete with one another? Guess because they can't. Well, my Mon and Tues nights are free. Thanks ABC!
I think it's great. Some lesser know people and a good mix of genres. I am glad Kate Gosseling is in there. People need to give her a break, no one is perfect. They were trying to raise their family and after being married to John all those years it is great that she can do this and focus on herself for a bit.
I think people are jealous. All reality stars make fools of them selves. Look at the Kardashians, and The Bachelor. It is hard to lead a normal life in front of the cameras. When a freak like Madonna shows her kids we say, "awww look how cute" and big name celebreties have thier kids faces all over the place and Will SMith has his son all over the big screen and no on has a problem iwith that. Many people need to spend more time looking at and worrying about themselves instead of always pointing out the bad in others.
Shannon Doherty? With all the talent that must be trying to get on this show they get washed-up Hollywood 911, nasty attitude Shannon Doherty?
Who casts this show anyway? It's starting to become a convalescent show for washed up careers rather than striving to be the best dancing show it could be
This show has no right any longer to call itself "Dancing With The Stars." It should be renamed "Dancing With Some Stars and Clunking Around With Other D-List Wannabees and Hangers-On." I can't believe that Kate Gosselin is still on her 16th minute. Boy, is she ever hanging on like a cat using every last millimeter of its claws to hang on to the tree branch before crashing down to the ground below.
You can NOT compare her anywhere near the caliber of a national hero that is personified by Buzz Aldrin. The other contestants have talent in their respective fields and have worked hard in their craft to achieve their varying levels of success. Kate Gosselin's talent that has put her on a level where she is called a star? Perfecting the art of giving stank attitude to her ex on TV? Knowing how to be sarcastic and snarky? Why oh why is she on this show?
Oy vey. Please, someone, ANYONE, please ring the bell, stop the timer...it's now her 17th minute. Benjamin Franklin's famous quote most certainly applies here: "Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days." Modernize it to fit today's society and it would say, "Untalented reality stars, like fish, start to reek after overstaying their 15-minutes, and the stench of the vomit they have induced in millions of others becomes a permanent fixture of their persona."
My wish is that her contract calls for a nice check for appearing on the show, as I do not begrudge her children of the financial windfall their mom will receive, because the kids will directly benefit from that by having it put food on their table and a roof over their heads. However, please America, either don't vote for her or give her a score of 1 on her first week, thus ensuring she does not return for week 2. This woman must find a job that doesn't involve cameras of any kind.
Let her earn her "Dancing With the Stars" appearance fee for her kids sake, but then immediately afterwards, PLEASE, please pull the plug on her 17-minute clock. Then may she go in her merry way, finding gainful employment that doesn't involve me having to be eating my steak dinner with my glass of red wine and then looking up at the TV and seeing that head of hair that was attacked by Edward Scissorhands. I do not enjoy being a cow and regurgitating my food as I'm eating.
I think calling any of them "stars" is a stretch. Probably not worth my time this time around. Maybe if the Gosselin kids make an appearance I'll rethink it though.
Very disappointing!! I will certainly not have to hurry home from school for this line-up. No one I would look forward to seeing and I agree with the other posts about Kate G, this is not Dancing with the "stars". Count me out ABC. You are not getting better at all.
Kate Gosselin is an attention seeking PIG!!!! She disgusts on so many levels. Id rather have a stomach virus than suffer through watching her try to extend her 15 minutes. KATE GO HOME AND RAISE YOUR KIDS. Ugly Mutt.
this lineup sucks!
I may watch until Ochocinco gets booted off....and perhaps Aldrin too since I have a soft spot for seniors.
didn't watch it last year, ditto for this year.....I think this show has had it's 15 minutes, the novelty has worn off.
more like Dancing with the Strangers. ridiculously stupid lineup. Buzz, yes, a great man and Evan... he'd be interesting to watch but the rest? reality TV people are not stars. surely there are enough qualified stars to choose from. what a stretch. will not be watching anymore.
Who are these people? Guess I have a good reason not to watch this season.
Watch it Aintitthetruth – Sarah Palin has a highly trained staff monitoring every website for the use of the word 'Retard'. You are now on her watch list.
Contrary to a lot of comments, each year has turned out to be intersting. Ijust like to watch "whomever" dance. Each year is different. You have to admit they have variety this year.
Kate – I think a lot of people are just jealous of her. And Pamela – why not? She may be a hoot to watch. You can bet she'll put her all into doing it.
And I don't have a clue who the football player is that everyone is oohhing and ahhhing over.
To each his own, eh?
Im excited!!! Haters that s what everyone else is!!!!! They will be watching just like me:)
To DWTS, Give me a break, I was so looking forward to seeing the show but Kate Gossy, she is a witch, and a nag, I had stopped watching her show because of all her nagging to Jon, but I guess it is time to give up and move on to something else. Sorry DWTS
Reminder trhe show is called Dancing with the Stars and Dancing with the Nag of the Year.
I can't wait for this season to start. For those who comment about the line up being a bad one, which stars would you like to see?
I think Kate Gosselin has had enough attention, now she's just making a fool of herself
GET REAL! This lineup is the best way to lose viewers.
Kate goselin??! are you kidding me when did that *&^$$ qualify as a star just put on octo-mom and jersey shore *&^% too. DWTS just lost all credibility
Kate doesn't need to support her family. She raked in more in a year from this divorce and television than most of America. This is a joke for her, and I hope she completely collapses. Wont be watching this whatsoever, but go Chad.
I quit watching tv, just can't be bothered anymore, I listen to music, and read books, thank god for those cause tv has just lost it totally, I will check out tv in a decade or so, maybe by then all the silly programers of tv shows will be pensioned off and someone figures out what is entertainment.
Are you kidding-it is really strange like Laurie commented upon.Very disappointing!
Sorry to the person who wanted Johnnie Weir – in lieu of Evan -they contatced him but his pre-condition was he had to have a male partner.
Need to change the name of the show to Dancing with the Retards.
Horrible line up!! Who are these people??
