This is one season that I will love to watch. A bunch of popular former contestants are back.

My favourites are Carson Kressley (he's hilarious) and Drew Lachey, and Helio Castoneves just to name a few.

Carson is not a "done deal" to be on the show as a contestant. He is one of three who are being voted on to return.

Oh, I read it that he was. Thanks for the clarification Lindsey.
I sure hope he gets voted in then!

DONA tomato - back by popular demand?

Sorry to take so long. I have not been logging in much of late. The current situation, so far as I know it, is that Dona F1 seed is available only in France. The most recent packet I have shows a "sell by" or "use by" (whatever you want to call it or however you want to interpret it) of 2016. This indicates to me that Vilmorin has bred a new lot of seed. That's encouraging but does not guarantee that they will continue. However, seed is available now though difficult to get in the USA. There is no-one that I know of selling it here. Moreover, it seems to me that as you are in MA it is probably too late for this year, so you might want to plan for 2012. Your best bet, I think, would be if you have acquaintance with anyone in France to ask them to send you some and offer to pay them the cost of seed and postage. They would have to do this using the equivalent of an international express mail document envelope. Do not let them declare the parcel as seeds or they will be seized. There is a USDA program for import of small lots of seed and you could check into that if you want. Next best and probably just as good would be if you know someone travelling to Paris on vacation or business. They could go straight to the Vilmorin store as shown above and get what you want. Do not let them bring seeds back in their luggage. Mail it as "documents" and you have a good chance of receiving it. Third is to just order some online from a French retailer. This is what I did. It is very expensive. You could order as much as five or six packets in one order without an increase in the postage and that would give you 250 to 300 seeds. Search the forum under the keyword Dona and you will find my other posts, in one of which you will find a little more information on this. In my case, the retailer just happened to use a document envelope and so I received my seeds. A few French companies have websites that allow for international shipment though it is definitely not what they are accustomed to. Sorry I can't be of more help right now. It's late at night and I can't think of anything else right now. I'll try to check back fairly soon in case you have any more questions.

That was one of the truly terrific things about this show - the use of a live band and live musicians. I was in awe of their abilities. I didn't watch the show last season because of the bottom-of-the-barrel dancers and this is another reason for not watching it any more.

Hi Dottie, I know that Ashley and Max are on Broadway doing a show. (they're also engaged!). I haven't heard that she won't be on DWTS. I really like her. It starts Sept 21. This is the largest cast ever, so it's going to be 3 nites the first week. (can anyone say overkill, as much as I love the show?). They'll be kicking 2 people off at once.

Palin popular? There were many more talented and "real " celebrities. I'm just glad Kate isn't back. She's as bad as Palin. The others are ones I liked.

I can't wait to see Apolo Anton Ohno dance again. He won his season with Julianne Hough, and now will be dancing with Karina Smirnoff. I thought he was such a good dancer, but man will there be competition this time around. Should be really fun.

Personally, I don't think they should have partnered anyone with who they had before. Even ground I'd call it. Should be a good season and looking forward to seeing all but Palin.

Debi, from what I remember, I don't think anyone has their original partner. I particularly took notice of the ones that I remember from before and they are with different ones.

I hope it's Kyle, ............He turned in a great performance every week......Carson was too over the top.

I don't know why they would bring Bristol back either or more important, why she would subject herself to the Palin haters. The poor girl was accused of everything from rigging the vote to having politicians voting for her for publicity...She stayed a long time because she was popular and many young people liked her but the adult crowds on the internet didn't give her a fair shake......

Whiloe I didn't watch her season, I hope Sabrina gets voted back in. I know she got eliminated very early in her season but I've seen re-runs of her season. She was *very* good. Could give the all-star cast something to shoot for!
