Looks like an OK lineup...It will be good to see my fave mark's dad on the show although i imagine with his partner he may not be around for long.

Looking forward to the series

DWTS and SCD all at once. Oohh, when will I next go out to a social occassion?

Corky Ballas will be interesting being the highest ranked of all the dancers on the show -and clearly having a few yaers on them as well. I wonder if he will be doing the pro dances?

I always had a feeling that he had something to do with a lot of the choreography from Derek, Mark, Julianne etc -although I may be wrong.

The whole line-up was leaked over the w/e. I never even realized there was a DWTS's section on here! It's all very 'pink' lol

I'm very excited with Susan Lucci, Misty May & Toni Braxton. (When in the world has Misty been training! I so adore her) As for Cloris Leachman! You go girl! (Lets just say's it a good job DWTS's goes out on a 5 mins delay! - You never know what she'll come out with!)

The only one I am really annoyed about is Cody Linley. You may as well give the kid a one way ticket to the final. All the little girls will vote for him, he could just stand there and be guaranteed a vote!)

In all a really nice line-up.

I think Cody/Julianne and Misty/Maks will be the final 2, with the third place going to a dark horse no-one predicted, like Marie Osmond, Christian Del Fuente etc. Hopefully Misty/Maks will win it - it'll be unfair for Julianne to win again. Maybe this is her last season and TPTB want her to leave with a bang.

And why are there 13 (and not 12) couples this year?

Maurice and Cheryl will be interesting - I'm a big athletics fan so would like to see him go far. Kim Kardashian is a tricky one to call - don't mind her but I don't think many people like her as she's one of those famous for being famous types. I was a fan of Toni Braxton in her heyday so I hope she does well.

I have no opinion on the others. Shame Ashly Del Grosso isn't back, but I'm glad Jonathan, Anna and Fabian aren't in this season's pro line-up as I never warmed to them. My faves all have promising partners so I'm happy!

Still don't know if UKGold is going to show it

Lacey? I liked Lacey on SYTYCD, she was my favourite female dancer of that year. Shame Ashly isn't back though, but hey - maybe next year

I haven't heard of Inna Brayer before. One of the pros, obviously, but can someone clue me in?

Onto the celebs, I'm a bit so-so about most of them, though hopefully they will be a good lineup when the show gets started. The only one I like, of the ones I know, is Lance, so I suppose we'll just have to wait and see

It's so early, but I have a feeling you are spot on. As for the dark horse, keep an eye on Brooke. She's very popular here stateside and being paired with Derek is a great ticket.

Gosh you'd never know there was an election going on here! lol

As of this moment...I'm going for a Misty win (only because I'm still excited after the Olympics.) I read on Comcast, they tried to woo Michael Phelps, but he turned it down. I guess he's exhausted!

Lol! Dont know if Corky is his real name or not but he has always gone as that professionally.

Im very interested to see his greatness in action. Absolutely love Mark and I gather Corky (being his father) is the man that taught him to shake it!

Certainly interesting to have Corky on the show; I've met him a few times, when he lived in England and married to Shirley and he is certainly a character.

I had always thought is was Shirley who helped Mark, Derek, Julianne, but - to ditto your words - I may be wrong.

apparently in US Corky is sometimes used as a shortened form for Charles - but that's not necessarily the case with Corky Ballas. I'll have to ask my friend who knows him.

Corky is a great dancer was a good champion in his time - knew Shirley (his wife) when she was Shirley Rich even before she married Sammy - in the days she danced all girls in Liverpool

I always thought it was Shirley too, and Corky says in his bio it was Shirley who trained him

It's true, Corky was a relative beginner when Shirley started training him, and a jolly good job she made of it too! She was married to Sammy Stopford at the time, but divorced, and married Corky.

Wow! Thanks for all the info!

Im actually looking forward to seeing Corky and Cloris together -she was hysterical on Malcolm and the Middle - and was a former beauty queen in her day!
