I can't say I'm surprised (or disappointed) Maks isn't back this series. He's been a losing finalist twice and has had quite a few good partners. I was sure his next partner would have been one without much potential. I am surprised at Alec , I wonder if it was his decision or the bosses.
Who is Fabian.. nice name though LOL

Maks stated that he wanted to concentrate on his new studio in Long Island, so it's okay if he sits next season...but he plans to return for Season 7 in August. Fabian is a good friend of both Tony and Maks. Kym is injured, we don't know if she will be replaced or if she will be well enough to participate. Alec probably didn't match well with any of the new celebrities.

Supposedly it's been leaked that 36-year-old Kristi Yamaguchi (5'1") is on the upcoming season starting in March (17th I think?) and she's being paired with 21-year-old Mark Ballas (who's 5'8" to 5'10" - somewhere in there, and the shortest pro except Louis van Amstel, who's been specifically requested by somebody) [from TWoP]
Some think the person who requested Louis is Priscilla Presley because she's friends with his former partner, Lisa Rinna. Another poster thought it might be Marlee Matlin because "he was the pro that mentioned her in one of those TVGuide clips and she hadn't been as widely rumored at that point, I don't think..." and I think there was a rumour that one contestant's initials are MM. |

Apparently all contestants will be revealed in the finale of Dance Wars on Monday night according to my friend in the USA.

I'd never heard of Marissa Jaret Winokur, Christian De La Fuente, Adam Carolla or Marlee Matlin. I'm glad they got Monica Seles & Mario. I kinda like Shannon Elizabeth as well. I only actually heard of Jason Taylor because of the Dolphins/Giants game that was at Wembley last year. I think he is the Dolphins star player. I feel for the male pro partnered with Priscilla. She is so botoxed up now, she looks like a mummy

Comedian Adam Carolla (6'2", 43 years old) is confirmed to be dancing with Julianne Hough, who I really thought they would have put with Latino heartthrob Christian de la Fuente (6'2" 34) - or with hip-hopper cutie Mario (5'11" 21). Guess they don't want a threepeat.
http://adam.freefm.com/ Wonder who gets the looker Christian? Maybe Karina Smirnoff, who almost won with gorgeous Mario Lopez in Season 3. She's got that nice new nose - and maybe new boobs too? Jason Taylor is handsome as well, but 6'6" and 255 pounds (18 stone) !!! *cringes at memory of 6'7" Clyde Drexler who was horrid *There's another 6'6" guy (Jillette, 53) who's even heavier - well, fat, actually. It's the season of Big Foot. At the moment, I'm only excited about Kristi Yamaguchi who's paired with sexy Mark Ballas. |

Have they said definitely which pros are taking part and who they'll be paired with? I keep hearing that Maks isn't doing it this time around which is very sad

As a West Wing nut, put me squarely in the Marlee Matlin camp. Excuse my ignorance though; isn't being able to hear the music fairly important when it comes to dance? It will be interesting to see how she manages this.

Evelyn Glennie is one of the best percussionists in the world, and she is deaf. It's not a barrier. If Heather Mills can dance without a leg, I'm sure Marlee can dance without music. |

Think Kristi Yamaguchi will do very well- and I'd love to see Monica win it-she is a superstar, and an amazing person with it.
Will be interested to see how Steve Guttenburg does-could make an intersting partner for Cheryl or Julianne What's the betting Priscilla gets put with Tony Dovalani or Jonathan Roberts |

As long as she can keep time, she should be fine. Let's hope she has an internal metronome. And she will be aided by a partner who can assist her with timing. If she and her partner connect well, she'll be great.

Kristi Yamaguchi should do very well...won't Ice Dance experience be a massive advantage? (BTW I like her by the way). It's a bit more that having been to Sylvia Young's!

Apparently there will be no elimination first week and a double elimination second week
Very interesting pairings. I'm predicting big things from Mark and Kristi and Karina and Mario. Kristi in 1995 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-QNtxwpTSE Kristi - pairs skating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPsBpURb-8Q Mario dancing in his music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfbBEAuARfk Marissa Hairspray performance from 2002 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rlp1...eature=related Derek and Shannon - I would have thought she would be too tall for him. I fear she's going to be as "popular" as Willa, Shandi and Shanna" and face an early exit...taking Derek with her ![]() Mark and Kristi - she looks so graceful (when she's skating), I think it will tone done Mark's powerful dancing Louis and Priscilla - he has always pushed his partners now he has someone a lot older it will be interesting to see how they match up. Tony and Marissa - I like that she is completely different to Tony's other pairings. She's also an experienced live performer with dance experience. Jonathan and Monica - she got lucky there, he'll be able to cover up for a lack of dance experience that some of the other women have Anna and Steve - could be very funny, hopefully he's recognisable enough, from his 80's films, to have a good fanbase will get Anna past week 2. Anna and Albert were robbed last year Kym and Penn - she's only had one good partner, poor Kym! Edyta and Jason - will probably be similar to Cameron last year. |

Might have to invest in UK Gold if it's on.Kristi was a fabulous and very graceful skater so I would have thought will have natural elegance and poise. I guess learning the steps and "acting" will be a new experience. But she's certainly used to live performances in front of huge crowds. As a massive skating fan, I'd really like to see how an ice skater gets on. |
