I think the only reason I wasn't expecting Maks' departure is that he seems to start the 'I'm leaving' rumor by himself every single season - then comes back anyway. So I never saw him following through with it!
I'm not surprised really. He made it clear last season that he wouldn't be signing a new contract, so even though he had 3 (I think) seasons left to run, no one really wants someone on the team who doesn't want to be there. I used to be a real fan, but he's been going through the motions for quite a while now and I think he's made the right decision (or else the producers have )
I'm confused about Derek...I was sure last season was meant to be his last. Am I misremembering or has something changed?
I'll miss Kym, but I think it was getting pretty stale for her too. I like Chelsie, but never really thought she was that great at choreo, so I won't miss her too much (and same with Anna). I don't know what's happening with Lacey, but I'm not a fan, so wouldn't mind if she didn't come back. Became a Val fan (finally!) last series, so I'm pleased he'll be returning.
Is Brook okay now? Does anyone know if she'll be back? I used to think she was a hopeless co-host but she grew on me. Whatever, I hope she's well.
Does no one know if tristan is coming back? I hope that he is!
I haven't been keeping up, but I hope he's back, too . In all honesty, I'm not sure his choreography is absolutely up to snuff, but he has a great personality and seems like a very supportive partner ....not to mention being easy on the eye . It'd be nice to see him with an attractive, capable, younger partner this time.

There's been no news on Tristan yet - he's not an avid tweeter like the other pros so there's been nothing said by him. However he's on the DWTS cruise at the moment so we might get some news when he's back!
Won't miss Maks at all. He has not had his heart in it for a few seasons now. I am not a Val fan, he lost me last season with the public displays of affection with Kelly Monaco, quite sickening at times !!! The show needs regeneration and the only way is with new pros. To me, this can only be a good thing..

I agree, the Val and Kelly showmance got on my last nerve a bit by the final, which is a shame since I love Kelly.
There's a rumor that Aly Raisman, an 18 year-old gymnast, may be in the cast, and if so she's previously said she'd want to do it with Val, so it'd be interesting if that happened. He can't really sex up his routines with her!
NFL Wide Receiver Jacoby Jones and Real Housewives castmate Adrienne Maloof are the latest names, as well as an unknown General Hospital star.
It's so unusual, given the cast announcement is only 48 hours a way, for us to not really know any one (apart from Sean & Victor) who'll be taking part.

Yes he is, confirmed on Twitter.
That's great news.

Didn't see that one coming! :eek:
Nor did I, god :eek:
Do you think Val will go now as well? :eek:
The article says Val will stay!
Oh, didn't read the full thing.

I have to say that I did. He didn't look that 'with it' last series.
Thanks for the article .

Lots of changes!!
Derek wasn't planning to return but has made spaces in his schedule and is now able to compete.
And Brooke is all clear and is returning as a host
Ah, thanks .
I don't love Derek. The favouritism (imagined or otherwise ) must pee the others off no end.....but I do like his choreo!
Good news about Brooke too.

Who? Who? Who?
They really are scraping the barrel this year. :eek: Perhaps there aren't many celebrities who are willing to do it after fifteen seasons.
