I am excited for this cast TBH.
Guaranteed Ryan dances last on Week 1. He did something moronic. Hope he can regain some respect after so badly screwing up. |

I'd love to know whether, when pros like Artem and Emma were offered jobs, they made it clear they would always be third tier pros or whether they promised the earth 😏 .
Setting the feelings and egos of the pros aside - and more importantly - I think the loaded system robs the viewer of interest and variety.Quote:
What IS PureDWTS' problem with Val?! Every post they've uploaded today is snarking about him in some way.

This could be an interesting series-except for the fact that Laurie/Val are clear winners, the rest seems quite open and it will be up to how well the pros manage the partnerships and how well the stars endear themselves to the voting audience.
(Sorry for the double post.) |

Pretty good cast, I quite like Marilu, Vanilla Ice and Maureen, plus I've always had a soft spot for Amber Rose (who I'm quite surprised DWTS have managed to get, I mean you only have to look at all the showbiz sites yesterday, it was all about her at VMA's)
Excited to see Jana as well! I quite like Jake, but that's my shallowness coming out to play there...

I don't think she'll be a duffer, as she danced when she was young, but she probably isn't winning material.

Here for Amber Rose, who is an impressively current signing for the show, but I feel a bit jaded as a whole.
There's no Patti/Chaka showbiz legend in the cast, which is disappointing. |

Quite a simplistic cast, few characters which could prove interesting. Vanilla Ice seems a bit of a deadwood signing though
![]() I agree with OP above re Amber. She's a decent signing and definitely my favourite on paper I can see her being a surprise in ballroom.

In other news, I love Emma, but there needs to be a mercy killing elimination to free her from Rick! I really don't know who I'd say is my favourite yet, especially with obvious favourite Ryan the most likely to do well but be hindered by the public perception. I think my dark horse is Babyface and Allison! I reckon they could win this... |

If a slightly overweight Pamela Stevenson can get to the Strictly final aged 60, I would think Marilu stands a chance - especially with Derek. She also has an amazing memory apparently (perfect recall), so she might have a basic learning advantage (or she might alienate people by being a smartarse ). I've no idea if she's danced in the last 40 years or even physically fit, so probably not a ringer, but she's no duffer. |

This cast is VERY, very interesting; too many potential; too many. One of the best cast in years. Sigh....I will probably tune in this year to watch the show
![]() . I honestly think that there will be a lot of unexpected surprises. I love how everyone assumes that Derek has finally a duffer because that woman is the oldest celebrity he ever Had. Hilarious. She has some kind of dance experience apparently and imo she looks AMAZING for her age. Also a lot of people assume that Val and Laurie may have it in the bag but after seeing the rest of the cast I dont think so; especially since a lot of the celebrities they have play right into DWTS demo. My only certainty now is that Derek will make the finale; I can bet on this. I am like 98% sure of this Ryan Lochte couldnt have had a more perfect pro in Cheryl; Glad that she came back for that job. She knows what to do, what to say, how to pace her celebrity, how to coach them mentally for this; she is very cunning ...not necesarily a bad thing but she is a PRO at this DWTS/celebrity malarkey. That's why Wade brought her back especially for Ryan IMO; She is the female Derek. Ryan really lucked out with her; With any of the other pro girls, he would have been out in the first few weeks. If anyone can work miracles and make America fall in love with Ryan again, its HER. Hmmm....I like Ryan , yes I know what he did; but that's Ryan for you. I like Laurie but I hate that she has Val. Oh and my favourite couple is Ryan and Cheryl, He always gets himself into stupid/crazy stuff; trust me this Brazil incident is not the only major incident he had. I have always had a soft spot him. He really does mean well; he is honestly not a bad guy but he is just not very bright sometimes....sigh....I think that he will pleasantly surprise people and I am ecstatic that he has Cheryl; she is the perfect pro for him. |

I think Rick should be voted off first. Poor Emma, what's she done to the producers?
Lindsay gets Alek to the finals and gets Wanya the following season as a reward. Emma's reward for getting Bill Engvall to the final? Billy Dee Williams. Says it all. She should have came over to SCD this year. I wouldn't have minded her bringing Sasha over either. Emma with Will and Sasha with Claudia. That would be fantastic. |

How can you say BIB about Derek reaching the final? He's my fave pro but he doesn't stand a chance of the final this year
![]() he know what works on dwts he is very talented He is very popular she is well known and popular She has some dance training She looks amazing Yes he doesn't have a favourite (he didn't when he had Ricky or Kellie either) but he has a good chance as it is very open field actually think Artem may have a chance too except Artem is not as popular as Derek but I think he and Maureen will go a long way reminds me on Lea (who were extremely popular with voters until tptb and judges started derailing their chances) Thinks it's an interesting cast think it will work well and will be a great season but you can never tell until they dances and will miss Mark Ryan is lucky to get Cheryl otherwise he would definitely be out week 1 now he at least has a chance to get to week 2 |

Derek and his partner Shannon Elizabeth finished in 6th place in Season 6 (2008) - which is the worst he's done.

I don't know if they will get to the final, depends how good the competition is, but with Derek as your pro you have better chances than most. |

I actually liked Derek back then but now he's Clouseau to my Detective Inspector Dreyfus - I start twitching if I catch a glimpse of him
![]() I can't believe they left in one of Shannon Elizabeth's comments that season - she was annoyed with Derek and told him he wasn't getting any that night. Ewww - She also pi$$ed off the costume designer by refusing to wear a salsa dress he made for her and she ended up looking like a banana or something - oh now I can't remember, but she looked awful and the dance sucked - she really was a jerk (and Derek was too, like you said - that was the season he complained on camera of another celebrity's "demented lines" because he was so furious at the judges' comments toward Shannon.) Anyway, you're so right - DWTS was a much better show years ago - much less manipulated and more honesty about it. Now it's a travesty imo, with 20 second dances, strobe lights, and 5 extra pros in every number - along with Ninja turtles or whatever - well, so I'm told... But back to the topic! They prop Derek as far as possible, even if the dances don't deserve the scores imo -- it'll be interesting if anybody gets peeved this season. A year or two back, Mark's mother Shirley was on the Afterbuzz talk show with Kristyn Burtt and she said that the judges were biased towards the blond haired one and gave him better scores than her more deserving son - I bet she's enraged about Mark being bumped after he said he was looking forward to this season. |

Her appearance on Afterbuzz revealed so much. Perhaps she had to overcompensate over the years, raising two outsiders (both of which more able than Mark) but the way she championed Marks every move was really unpleasant. Probably helps explain why he can't take any criticism, he isn't used to it. Anyway. I'm all for Derek getting the best treatment. He's the best dancer and choreographer, so a TV show has to take advantage of that. |

I can see her being a surprise in ballroom.
