God, they treat Emma like rubbish, don't they?
Witney and Allison have done nothing that warrants them a place over Emma, who took Bill Engvall to the final, Michael Waltrip to Week 8 and even Hayes to Week 7. I'll wait to see how Jenna is as a pro before I judge her.
This season is make or break for me. I'll forget S24 if this one is bad.

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!
I am going by what puredwts is saying as their mole is most of the time is very reliable and they are sure its 7 males but it wouldn't be the first time a confirmed pro was dropped or a celeb was pushed back a season or dropped for a bigger name also they said the unnamed male pro is a big threat and the male pros will need to up their game not talk a good game so that sounds interesting but you know dwts, things change all the time right until the official announcement.

I could easily see Ryan Lochte doing dwts even before the controversy and now he needs to so he can try and get what little reputation he had back

Yes they do I will give Jenna a chance but Emma deserves the right to be picked before her (and the other two) due to her past success and the fact she stayed with them when she had a chance to go to a much better programme (OK that was probably more to do with loyalty to Sasha but she still stayed) tptb would say Witney won, yeah technically she did with a ringer who got worst as the season went on

Will miss Karina she has always been one of my favourite on dwts because she can really dance and out of all the pros she (to me) would be the one that wouldn't look out of place on strictly

Don't they just .
I wonder what she really thinks about it. Hope the money makes up for all the crap.

Oh, yes, you're right. (The male pros are 'on notice' or some such).

PureDWTS provide good info, but their mods are pretty biased folks to say the least.

Very biased but they run purederekhough as well and they had Twitter agreements with Val before so it is kind of to be expected but their mole is good

Oh and never go on their messageboard part at the end of their articles its a dark scary place full of fanatics who takes a TV show a bit too seriously and their dislike of certain pros a bit too far to say the least

The female pro line up seems a bit "newer" as such. No Edyta, Cheryl or Karina. I'm surprised they haven't tried any of the other ex pros.

What you don't love Derek to infinity and think everything he does is magic??

At least on here you can give an opinion that maybe not everyone will agree with but you can discuss it and no one think any of the pros are so perfect that they can't do anything wrong ever. I like Derek and Mark (who they seem to support now Derek is gone although I saw some really truly nasty comments about Mark in the past when Derek + more importantly Julianne, when she was judging, was on the show) but some people take their 'love' of a certain pro too far

Jenna confirmed as pro on official dwts Twitter don't understand any producer picking Jenna, Allison and Witney over Emma even tho she is now back hopes she gets a good partner but can't see it happening. One more male pro to be announced though Mark isn't officially confirmed yet it seems to be

Maks
Val
Artem
Sasha
Mark
Gleb
???

Allison
Witney
Lindsay
Emma
Jenna
Sharna

I like Tony sad he isnt on but can someone please give Anton the memo?
Maybe the last guy is Keo? I think he was at some L.A. event recently, pushing the new series. I wish it was Tristan, who's the only one who could convince me to watch.

dancingabcHint: @theartemc's partner is a published author, released a country album, and started acting when she was 9! Who is she? #DWTS

ETA: sounds like Maureen McCormick (most probable guess from the comments on the instagram). 60 years old. <sigh>

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.
Hi Fridge although he does irritate me at times, I'm glad Maks is back, they must have paid him a pretty penny.

*waves back*
Maks, Gleb and Artem on one show, eh? You must be very happy! (If I thought Arty would get a decent partner, I'd probably be happy about it too 😩 )

Do you have any idea who the mystery male big-hitter could be? I don't suppose - given the source of the info - that Derek could be back, could he? 😳

Yes, I'm definitely the cat who's got the cream, meow!! I don't know about the mystery male big-hitter, will have to read back. With Maks and Gleb back in, I would be surprised if it is Derek but he does have a way of showing up last minute.

I'm seeing many parallels with how Artem and Tristan were treated.
1. Both had an older contender (Lea/Dorothy)
2. Both had an older Soul Singer (Patti/Gladys)
3. Both had a difficult celeb to work with (Mischa/Nancy)
Now Artem has another old one. I'm not a huge fan, but I see no reason why Val gets contenders while Artem gets none. They're pretty similar.

I'll never really understand the blatant favouritism towards pros and how they get away with it.

I hate the side-lining of some and the hero-making of others.

It isn't certain he'll get the 60 year old. There were other guesses that could fit. One was Brittany Spear's sister, so she would be young (though not sure she's a published author) and there was another (Beverley Mitchell?) who I think is about 35. It's just that Maureen McCormick's wikipedia profile was almost word for word what the instagram clue said - as if they'd just gone there and lifted it.



I saw some speculation that the missing male pro could be Slavik Kyrkyvyy (Karina's former pro-partner). I think it was just random chatter on the Pure site, but he would definitely be of sufficient stature to put the other male pros 'on notice'!

Derek and the Chmerekovskiy brothers must have have some serious dirt on the producers.

That's one of the many, many reasons I find DWTS so tedious nowadays... between blatant favouritism and dances that last 35 seconds, there's very little to hang your hat on.

I still don't understand why Artem chose to go to dwts instead of strictly I know it pays more but why be a small fish in a big pool instead of a larger fish in a pond?

Has this been confirmed? I had heard sitr has been pushed back to later in 2017

Edit I seen the e online article rather have someone new to be honest the issue I have isn't Derek or Maks it is the hierarchy Artem, Sasha and probably Gleb will get non contenders whereas its same old same old for the producers favourite now hoping Mark does get Laurie if she is doing it as I can't see Sasha or Artem getting her as a partner which leaves Mark or Derek due to height
