Err sorry.

Karina posted this on her instagram just to make sure info is correct.

Tired of my words being misconstrued. If I have an announcement to make, I will make it personally. And I promise that it won't be during a Q&A. So no, these assertions should definitely not be in quotes and are just an attempt for attention. This is in reference to the article that came out of Denver after one of the shows with

The pros are being announced now on Good Morning America. So far, Val and Kym are in.

And Sharna and Artem. Artem!! Yaayyyy!

Emma, Witney, Tony, Peta, Allison, Mark


So just four male pros and six female. Perhaps they have only confirmed 10 celebs so far....

Surprised Allison returns and that (so far) Keo does not. His inexperience showed, I thought, but, for all kinds of reasons, I thought they'd have him back. Perhaps in the troupe...

Glad Artem is back hurrah. I wasn't so keen on Allison's choreo last season, I was hoping for Tristan to come back tbh. Yes Keo was a bit thrown in at the deep end last season, same as Lindsay, they both got tricky celebs, whom sunk them.

Well Artem didn't get much of a chance to speak.

Val tweeted to say that 2 more pros have to be added to the line-up so there's still a chance Tristan and Louis to be added especially since atm there's 4 guys and 6 girls.

They're going to announce two more male pros so I wouldn't give up on Keo yet. I think he's extremely likely to be one of those pros, or if not, likely to be in the troupe for a season and then be put back in the regular lineup (but I'd bet on him having a partner this season.) I'm surprised and disappointed about Allison (but she's a Derek Hough protege' I think - or closely affiliated with him, so I guess it's not that surprising). She's also a contemporary dancer - or at least not standard ballroom - and that's the way DWTS seems to be going - away from ballroom altogether.

Roseanne Barr has been extensively rumoured, too.

Kristyn Burtt says Lindsay and Jenna are back in for the troupe.

Pure DWTS speculating about someone young and pretty called Savannah Chrisley (based on tweets and recently following Val). Also Robert F Kennedy jr still being mentioned plus Malcolm Butler (sportsman). And someone from one of the Real Housewives shows.

Announcement is next week (weds?)

Saw that Gleb is a pro on Russian show with an ice skater partner and Elena is a judge. Seems they have mended their bridges.

Gleb's first dance (a balletic contemporary) on the Russian DWTS is amazing! His partner is a very young - 18 years old I think - ice skater. Scroll down to the third screen to see a youtube of it here:

Thanks Elsa. I recognise her now from the Olympics where she was fantastic. (Though I thought she benefitted a tad from home advantage ). Nice to see Gleb with a truly dirty ringah . He wasn't given a fair crack of the whip on DWTS.

Given that Russia and Eastern Europe seem to produce the best ballroom dancers, it's a shame the contemporary nonsense has infiltrated their version too. (In truth, I don't mind it here and there, just really sorry that ballroom has been almost completely usurped on DWTS by SYTYCD style faffing. ).

That singer would have done well in Eurovision in the '90s.

Picture from pro rehearsals from Brittany Cherry who says she's part of season 20. Apparently she was on SYTYCD

https://mobile.twitter.com/Dance10Br...767489/photo/1

Val and Mark are missing from the photo, so not sure if Henry and the other guy are stand ins or part of the troupe. Anyone know who the chap is at the back?



ETA: Brittany dancing a contemporumba in Ed Sheeran pop vid

ETA2: seems bloke in the back row is Alan Bersten, another STYYCDer. Jenna says he's "in troupe".

In this article, they echo/claim these possibilities: Jack Nicholson,Roseanne Barr, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., footballer Malcolm Butler (New England Patriots), Ross Lynch (Disney star, "Austin & Ally"), "Bachelor" Chris Soules, Lalah Hathaway (daughter of singer Donny Hathaway whoever that is.)

Well I'm hopeful Emma has a younger celeb, going by his legs. Still on past seasons I'm not banking on it, he could be 90.

Definitely a young 'un . Hallelujah!

Thanks for the vid of the dancing, Karma. I couldn't tell most of the apart and certainly too many blond ladies with identical hairdos

Hi Soupy

Let's hope Emma's partner has lots of potential too.

Yes they all tended to blend in too much on the vt, not enough variety, Artem was stuck at the outer reaches and mostly got cut off the shots, hope that's not an omen.

“Chris Soules, Rumer Willis, Michael Sam, Willow Shields, Redfoo, Lalah Hathaway, Savannah Chrisley, and a person related to the Kennedys will all be competing during season 20,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/02/23/...s-michael-sam/

They also say that Roseanne will not be on this time.

Redfoo would be fun. Or super irritating.

(Willow Shields was In the Hunger Games and is only 14. Crikey).

Redfoo is a great signing!

Willow is too young to have an adult pro - surely they've brought in a child dancer for her? Still two women to be revealed - hoping for a glam
older woman a'la Queen Betsey.
