Derek's back.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I don't want to watch now. He better get the female equivalent of Geraldo this season.
Yep. That's going to happen.

Gah!

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

It'll overlap with Hairspay, apparently, but hey, it's Derek. Like Nastia, I guess everyone else will have to work around him.

Thanks he is only playing Corny which is a tiny part so will make no difference and sitr has been pushed back, wonder if Maks will ask for Derek's partner again

Well the swap got scrapped for Derek last time so one last gimmick is always a good thing on dwts

It was vile how they made Season 20 work around Derek. I'll give it the first two weeks and if the same happens, I'm switching off permanently.

Makes Dan Wooton's story from the sun funny though as Gleb was 'replacing' Derek hopefully he was get a challenge but can't see it with them trying so hard to get him back that he will get a contender

Heard Ali was trying to convince Simone Biles to do dwts

But I presume he still has to be in NYC for the performances including Saturday into the evening? His celeb would need to be based in NY and someone else will have to work with her on Sundays (and Monday?). Or is it not on Broadway? (Or is it just reheasrsals that overlap and the shows are later???h

He was my favourite but in the last couple of seasons to me he didn't do the dances he was asked to do I am all for creativity but make the dance look like it is supposed to

Ah, okay. Fair enough then. Not such a big deal to do at the same time.

He wasn't supposed to be back for Amy or Nastia's seasons taking Tristan and Henry place in the pro lineup seems to be Tony's this time

Nastia was a last minute added celeb to accommodate Derek being in NYC so never supposed to be paired with Henry but if they couldn't find someone suitable in NYC for Derek's schedule it would have been Henry with a celeb

Love all the Derek/pure DWTS trash talk here.

What a disappointment that he's back (though a bit funny, seeing how he supposedly was Broadway-bound .... I wouldn't be surprised if the SITR gig never happened). I'd been hoping this season would be a bit different, but now fear the narrative will revolve around the battle of Derek/Mark vs the C brothers, or the return of Derek and Maks. Yawn.

As boring as it is that they get the best contestants, it's understandable. The show is just a money-making enterprise, and they are the ones with the rabid fan bases and name recognition. And I imagine they've done market-research that tells them that the majority of the audience doesn't want to see actual ballroom dancing but goes crazy for stunts, tricks, and most importantly: emotional back stories. Long live SCD!

Jack Hanna is apparently Emma's partner. 69 years old.
3 strikes and DWTS are out. Enjoy the season everybody!

Not happy at all.
Rumours are that Witney has Ryan Lochte. Emma seems like a perfect match for him so why don't they pair them up and give Witney the duffer for once.
Lindsay apparently has a footballer, Calvin Johnson. That has the potential be a good pairing.

Sharna's in Texas so apparently has Canadian race car driver James Hinchliffe, 29 and 5'9" - Sasha with 4'6" Terra Jole. (Sharna and Sasha were a couple years ago, btw)

I bet Mark has the 5ft gymnast Laurie Hernandez since Mark is only 5'6" or so.

I heard Laurie is with Val and they are still trying to get Mark's celeb to sign on the dotted line and it's rumoured to be Beverly Mitchell that is why Mark hasn't been announced yet

Wow - and there's still Derek and Gleb and you know at least one of them will get the pick of the litter. Poor Artem (and maybe Sasha as well)

I wonder who will get ditched if Mark's celeb doesn't sign. Choose between Artem, Sasha and Gleb 😏
