Here's a link to Bindi's appearance on Good Morning America. She is a delightful young woman.

She is a delight and has really done her father proud, such a sad story and I bet he's watching with a big grin on his face!

Me Too! I like Bindi.

Sue

Bindi is just as terrific as her Dad. I'll be rooting for her.

Espinoza the Jockey is the 2nd dancer

Paula Deen was just announced as one of the dancers.

Well then, I won't be watching it this season.

Blf, I'm not a PD fan either, but why miss the fun just because? Record it and fast forward through the people you don't like; I doubt she'll last too long.

Nick Carter was announced earlier. Hadn't heard about Dean.

Chaka Khan has been added too

Paula Dean??? I cannot believe it! She has not struck me as being at all athletic, and she's 68 years old! I hope she doesn't break something.

found this but no mention of paula....(as yet)

Next is a young man who's a skateboarder

Here is the list so far. They sure are dragging it out!

NICK CARTER
The singer, songwriter and actor sparked his career at the tender age
of 12 as the youngest member of the iconic boy band Backstreet Boys,
which has sold over 130 million records worldwide and earned five Grammy
nominations. Carter was named one of People Magazine's "50 Most
Beautiful People in the World," has released two solo albums, and
starred with his fiancé in the VH1 reality series, I Heart Nick Carter.

VICTOR ESPINOZA
After coming close twice, jockey Victor Espinoza earned the famous
Triple Crown earlier this year, winning the Kentucky Derby, The
Preakness and The Belmont Stakes aboard speedy American Pharoah. It was
the first time in 37 years the feat had been accomplished. The first
Hispanic jockey to ever win the Triple Crown, Espinoza has won over 3000
races in his career and donates 10% of his weekly winnings to The City
of Hope for childhood cancer research.

BINDI IRWIN
The 17 year-old Australian wildlife conservationist and actress has
continued the legacy of her parents, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin and
Terri Irwin, starring in a series of wildlife shows, including "Bindi:
The Jungle Girl," "Bindi's Bootcamp," and "Steve Irwin's Wildlife
Warriors." As an actress, Bindi starred in the films Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove and Return to Nim's Island.
In 2014, Bindi was awarded the prestigious Australian Geographic
Society’s Young Conservationist of the Year, an honor that she dedicated
to her late father, Steve Irwin.

HAYES GRIER
At just 15 years old, Hayes Grier is a rising star in the social media
world, with more 3.5 million followers on Vine and more than 2 million
Twitter follows. The North Carolina teen shot to fame with his personal
videos and is currently on a live tour across the United States.

Not too excited about the lineup so far.

I know. I used to watch religiously, but have stopped for the few seasons. i like Bindi and may watch to see how she does. But, with no dance experience, I hope she doesn't turn be out to be another Wendy Williams or Kate Gosselin.

The last DWTS was spectacular. The staging and the costumes were so expensive. There are always people you favor ahead of time and then ones you end up cheering for after all. I look forward to it. It beats all the violent programming and I like this example of American programming.
