I heard something on TV about it but didn't get any details. Will check it out! Some I've enjoyed and some were boring. Mario Lopez and Emmitt Smith were not boring to me.. I liked to look at Mario's behind in those tight pants! Tee hee!

I think this looks like a great line up! Marlee Matlin (Academy Award-winning actress who is almost completely deaf....Children of a Lesser God, etc) Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame, also hosted gameshow "Identity") Marissa Winokur (Tony Award-winning actress known for her performance as Tracy Turnblad in the highly successful Broadway musical adaptation of John Waters' film Hairspray) Adam Carolla (comedian, comedy writer, radio personality, television personality and actor) Kristi Yamaguchi (figure skater and the 1992 Olympic Champion in women's singles) CristiÃÂ¡n de la Fuente (Chilean television actor who has gone on to make a name for himself in U.S. film and television) Monica Seles (former World No. 1 professional tennis player) Mario (R&B and pop singer) Steve Guttenberg (film and television actor, became known during the 1980s, after a series of starring roles in major Hollywood films, including Cocoon, Three Men and a Baby, Police Academy, and Short Circuit) Jason Taylor (NFL's first active player to be a participant) Shannon Elizabeth (actress, poker player, and former fashion model, came to prominence in the 1999 comedy film American Pie) Priscilla Presley (duh ;-)

You can also go to the DWTS official web site (part of the ABC web site) and sign up for tickets. Last season I received an e-mail from DWTS offering me FREE tickets to attend a results show taping. I said something to my hubs cuz I was so surprised to get an e-mail like that, and he told me he had gone to the web site and put in my name for tickets. That eBay auction has a starting price of $499 and it says "reserved not met." It also says that each dollar over $500 that is spent is tax deductible. Uh, what about the first $500? Where does THAT money go that it's not tax deductible? I realize the seller shows a 100% rating, but I didn't read any of his feedback to see what folks had purchased, or for how much $$. But there's no way I'd pay $499 for tickets that you can EASILY get for free. There was nothing on that eBay page that said what extras you get for having allegedly VIP tickets.

I was really happy for Helio, although I thought Mel was the better dancer. Helio did a fabulous job for an amateur with no training. But boy, have I lost respect for Marie. Found this on msnbc: "Access Hollywood has learned the ChildrenÂs Miracle Network, a charity co-founded by Marie sends out millions of e-mails asking their supporters to vote for Marie. "The e-mails are probably around 2 million once you add in corporate sponsors, hospitals, TV stations and all their friends and family Â even bigger than that once they send that e-mail out to others," Roger Cook, VP of Public Relations for ChildrenÂs Miracle Network said." Well, that explains a lot.

Oh, yeah, Nancy Kerrigan. I wouldn't have known if you hadn't brought it to my attention. Thanks.

Lots of dancers and dancing related talent in this contest. Simone Biles was the #1 Olympic gymnast. Nancy Kerrigan was a figure skater. I read Charro has some dance experience. One of the contestants was a backup dancer. I think there is one more.

Erika Jayne is the only one I would care to see. She is on the Beverly Hills house wives.

I've heard of Simone, Nick, Charro, Erika, Nancy & Mr. T. As always, should be a good season, at least the first couple of shows.

I might watch to see Nick and Erika Jayne.

I haven't heard of quite a few too. Truth is, very popular stars can't commit to the rigorous schedule and possibly length of participation. Some go on as a lark and are just hoping to get eliminated early.

I haven't watched in years. I don't especially like when they have the figure skaters, albeit the current ones (not so much retired) because they all usually have at least ballet training along with their figure skating lessons.

I have heard of about half of the contestants but David Ross is the only one I am excited to watch.

I missed the announcement today! It seems to be coming faster each season. I don't recognize hardly any of them.

I've heard of 4 of them and I don't care about those 4 nevermind the rest of them. Another season I won't be watching. I use to really enjoy this show.

One of the guys is a rodeo star and another is a MLB player. One (I think Heather Morris) is a backup singer/dancer) with Beyoncé. I had heard of Simone, Nancy, Charo and Mr T but none of the others.

" I had heard of Simone, Nancy, Charo and Mr T but none of the others."

Me, too. We have gone so far beyond the A- or B-list to the C- or D- list bit players.

Scott, Nancy Kerrigan is 47 years old and hasn't done any serious skating since the mid-1990s. Kristi was 36 when she won DWTS.

As long as Max, Val and Artem are there I will watch.

I'll watch only because of Ericka Jayne and Simone Biles. I can only take Charo in small doses, but kudos to her for still shakin it like she does.

I'm happy to see that Kym is back!
