It's going to be a weird season without Derek. Most of the pros seem to be on a rota where they dip in and out of seasons but Derek, Cheryl and Mark seem to be the lynchpin pros of the show who are always there.
She is so physically beautiful it's unreal but she also has that story of her fiancee (a British fashion photographer) being killed in the Indian Ocean Tsunami.
I read once Petra Nemcova was asked to do the British version of DWTS.
Anyone know if/when this series starts on Watch in the U.K.?
Based on previous seasons airing, what the transmission delay from the U.S. - a week? A few days?
Thanks.
US show on Mondays with results on Tuesdays (I think ... unless Tuesdays & Wednesdays!) but whatever, both shows shown in UK on the Friday same week, with repeats on Saturday morning.

Just to pass the time, and for a laugh... can we get any sense of how well these guys/gals are going to do purely from the photos.
Knowing almost nothing whatsoever about most of them...
Kendra Wilkinson.
I have to admit to having watched 'Girls of the Playboy Mansion' on E!, so I know who this girl is - very Pamela Anderson. My impression is that she's all publicity, and little else, and will be out fairly soon. But could be wrong.
Chelsea Kane (Kids TV star)
I'd give her a really good chance. In fact, I'm almost certain she's winner.
Hines Ward (a 'wide receiver' - out on the wing in US football)
He looks serious, and should be able to run fast too.
Chris Jericho (wrestler)
Looks serious, but likely to be musclebound and stiff.
Kirstie Alley
Doesn't look too athletic, IMO. But Max usually makes sure he gets someone with a chance, and there's not too much competition. Max will make her work.
Petra Nemcova (model)
She does look very fit and glam, but if I recall, models in the past have not done well. Dmitry looks a bit like Max, IMO.
Ralph Macchio (actor)
Looks serious and looks fit. I'd give him a decent chance among the men.
Wendy Williams (talk show host)
I don't think so, though seeing as there's not too much in the way of competition - maybe.
Sugar Ray Leonard (ex-boxer)
He looks fit, and from the photo, bubbling with energy, though I recall what happened to Joe Calzaghe and his hopes.
"Psycho" Mike Catherwood (talk show host)
With a name like that, he has be out fairly soon.
Romeo (rapper)
A real poser. But he's into music, so has rythm; though unlikely to be versatile. Would not rate him that highly.
Hard to draw any conclusions - from past shows I'd say anyone who was a model, American footballer, wrestler, or talk show host doesn't stand any chance ...... oh, have I actually left anyone!!!!
For anyone who is interested these are the very first practice photos. They are just thumbnails and the bigger ones will be out shortly. You can click on "see full caption" for the names. Not all the couples are here and probably in the next batch.

:cool:
Agreed, her story is incredibly moving
For 21stCentureBoy. Twitter from Mike Catherwood.
Official pics of couples should be posted soon.
Kirstie: My partner keeps saying I dance like a grandma. He calls me G for grandma. I call him M for mean.
They are gonna be a fun couple.
This article on how they are looking so far.

No interview with Petra as she was not at the launch party.:(
Thankyou

I remember it airing on Friday's at 9pm with the results directly following the main show. Though I'm not sure if that may have changed last series.

Thanks for posting that. Good pics.
I don't recognise any of the celeb names except Kirsty Alley and methinks Maksim may have met his match there!
Thanks for the info - and you too Fudd.:)

However my favourite is definitely Wendy

Please ignore - just seen the info on another thread

Please WATCH channel... Get DWTS on your listings ASAP.
Surely we're not going to be denied this season in the UK. Can't wait to see Maks and Kirstie.
Noone else seems to be stepping in either so sounds like we will be denied the fun, even though it will get lots of column inches in the newspapers.
