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)?
There are usually 13 in the fall season. Artem was announced before on GMA and lost out to Val the time they decided to announced half the pros before I wish they would just announced all the pros at the same

Oh I forgot that! (and about the 13 couples) Artem has been pretty badly treated imo. But maybe this is his season. It'll probably be clear whether it is or not as soon as they announce the pairings.

He had Lea in his first season, and she was pretty good, but it would be nice to see him with someone good this time around and for Val to get a Mischa type.

Amber Rose will be quite well known to the younger generation She has the publicity link to Kanye West too which could help with the promotion of the show. She'd be an interesting signing.

Why do I have this sinking feeling it is Ryan Lochte.

Several articles he is in talks and wants to repair his image.

Please no...

Good morning America Twitter just tweeted that a surprise pro announcement will be revealed tomorrow guessing Maks or Derek - dont know any other pros they would make a big song and dance about (maybe Julianne but I think she is done with dwts) thinking it will most likely Maks I hope I am wrong.

"Lochte would be joining Amber Rose, JoJo Fletcher and Jake T. Austin on the next season of the ABC competition show."

I don't personally think Maks will be back, but it is all over the media, so who knows?

So Ryan Lochte is pretty much confirmed after a DS article this morning.

Taking away his recent controversies, he's a high end signing who'll bring promotion to this series.

Booo! I don't mind him, I suppose, but you just know it's all going to have to be about Maks. Maks and Val.

My poor Artem is never going to get a look-in on this infernal show, is he?!



I pity the poor soul who gets lumbered spending all day, every day with Lochte. Brains are not his strong suit.

There was a photo of Amber and Maks taking a selfie or something - though I don't suppose that necessarily means she's his partner. His brother Val did say he already knew who his partner was - maybe they all do. I still think there may be hope for Artem - unless he's made somebody mad or something (which I've wondered about, considering how things have gone - the producer(s) can be quite vindictive imo)

Tony on twitter:
During my break from DWTS season 23. I look forward to traveling across the US to spend time… https://www.instagram.com/p/BJigisdj6XM/


Nothing against Tony personally, but not keen on him as a pro, so this is good news. Except someone will have to guide the elderly/infirm/difficult celeb around the ballroom. Better not be Artem!

They don't seem very keen on her in the comments there, do they? 😬

Sasha
Mark
Gleb

Allison
Witney
Lindsay
Emma
Jenna
Sharna

Thanks kp.

Do we know for sure it's 7 male/6 female pros?

I guess I'm wondering if Lochte is a late addition (to capitalise on the contoversy 🙄 ) and they needed to lose one of the men....or Imight be reading more into Tony being 'on a break' than I should!
