I am thinking that they might poach celebs from the female gymnastics team this season especially when Shawn Johnson was so popular. However, please do not give them to Derek or Mark or Val. Would be nice to see one of them go to Sasha or Artem.

Gymnasts tend to be short so Sasha has a chance of getting one, especially if Mark's out.
Derek's out as well.

I love Simon biles so much. ..obsessed with her this Olympic. I have been following her for a while and yes she has been named the Best gymnast EVER. .in the history of gymnastics by her peers but what I like the most about her is her personality. She's unlike other gymnasts I've seen : Shawn ( even though I liked her ), Nastia, Aly, Makela ..she's just very outgoing, extremely bubbly , smiley.... I am sorry but MOST gymnasts especially the ones that I mentioned tend to be too " robotic " sometimes in their interviews or on the dance floor ( I understand why they are like that but still. ..) but Not this girl. She says what she thinks , is funny and has a great personality . I am ambivalent about her doing Dwts. I think that she's way, way too big for this show ( my personal opinion ) . Yes I know shawn, Aly did it after the Olympics but meh... On the other hand , I think that she'll love it because it will be a Fun thing for her to do although she says that she can't dance.

Sasha would be the perfect partner for her. Their personalities would be a match made in heaven. And she's 4ft 8 perfect for him.

I know Dwts is desperate to sign her. ...especially since she's so huge atm. She's the breakout star of these games but eh..... having said all of that, I would not be surprised to see her on the cast this season.

I really hope this season pulls itself back together I'm tired of 50 second long performances and blatant favouritism across the pros!

It needs to go back to basics and quit with the OTT aspects during dances, such as back up dancers and emphasis on the theme/set around them.

Let's hope (but with no reason), Tony gets a ringer and Derek gets a dud.

Agree although I have no idea why people think Mark is leaving and even more confused why people think Derek is coming back he is doing hairspray live and singing in the rain on Broadway the last time he did both he got injured no Broadway producer would take that risk again

Think lauren or Madison (I think that's her name) are more likely than Simone

I see Mark wants Laurie Henedez, if that happens he would have another ringer and probably reach another final

I won't watch if he has a 3rd gymnast and for the record, another partner below 18. Yawn.
I wish they would give a male pro not called Mark, Val or Derek a chance for once .

I understand what you mean but other than Sasha there is no other pro small enough or that is the right kind of pro re attitude, teaching style and choreography for those type of celebs imo

Apparently the pros are being announced tonight rumours are that it is

Gleb, Mark, Val, Artem, Tony and Sasha
Sharna, Allison, Lindsay, Witney and 2 other

According to dwts gossip on Twitter

There are normally 13 pros in the fall season so one more as well as the above assuming Emma is one of the female

One of the final five is a contestant according to rumours can't be Ali won't be Simone most likely Lauren

I have doubts whether Emma is in. Wonder where Keo's went? Maybe last season with a contender proved he's not cut out to be a pro.
I'll be very angry if either Allison or Witney get a ringer this season and Emma/Karina/Edyta are either not in or get duds. Fine with Sharna and Lindsay back.

PureDWTS have a video of the US gymnastics girls answering fan tweets and it looks like they give away that Laurie Hernandez will be on the show. What an utter bore if she goes to Mark.

https://vimeo.com/179111884
Go to about 8.30 on the vid and watch the girls point and Laurie's expression

Sadly, Karina's out, but I guess that could increase the chances of us seeing both Edyta and Emma and both getting really good partners.

oh I liked Karina so who will take her place if Glebs taking Derek's? If Gleb's replacing Derek does that mean he will have a ringer or will he go back to duffers? (apart from Anita on SCD he's had duffers on every version of DWTS he's done?)

Gleb's not replacing Derek. Derek probably got mentioned by Dan Wootton because UK readers will have heard of him. He wasn't on last season.

BIB. Huh? Adelina? Ringeriest ringer that ever did ring.

Gleb had a ringer on the Russian one and made 2nd place in the finals. I think they could give Gleb someone good to provide some competition for Val and Artem.

Eight pros were verified today on Good Morning America: Val, Witney, Artem, Sharna, Sasha, Lindsay, Gleb, Allison.

Maybe they haven't decided on the final four (assuming there's the usual 12 couples)?
