Yay, I love this show. Its one of my guilty pleasures.

[wdwlovers]

Another interesting group of people.

[wendybell]

can't wait!!

Wow! I just read in last week's US magazine that Heather Mills being on DWTS was false. Interesting....

Apollo Ohno comes through here a lot. Shani Davis goes to school here as our university is a USOEC (US Olympic Education Center) They can go to school and practice their skating at the same time. We also hosted the speedskating Olympic tryouts before the last Winter Olympics.

Thanks for the info Jennifer I think I'm rooting for Apollo

[tndisneyfam]

Yeah!! What a group! Can't wait for it. We love Apollo!!

[eeyore8484]

Oooo! Apollo. I will definitely be watching.

I certainly hope that Heather Mills is the first one to go.

[lauren-roxy]

That is really an interesting group!!! I can't wait for the show to start!!!!

[katspjs]

Interesting list. I seem to think that Clyde Drexler is/was married to Debbie Allen (Fame), not sure though - I'll have to check that out.

Weird that Heather Mills would be on, wouldn't it be sort of tough to be in this competion with a prosthetic leg? Don't like her anyway.

ETA: Oops, wrong former NBA star - Debbie Allen is married to Norm Nixon. It was that whole "x" in the last name thing.

I'm excited for Ian Ziering. I loved making fun of his character on 90210.

[DopeyGirl]

Apolo, Clyde AND Joey?!

Interesting that they paired Ian up with Cheryl . . . wonder if they thought he needed the most support out there (or if he has shown promise before the show starts) so they paired him up with the 2-time defending champ?

I had heard "rumors" that Heather Mills was going to be on . . . Shandi Finnessey is an interesting choice (I love LINGO on the Game Show Network, though ) and it should be interesting to see Laila Ali dance . . . but I kinda hope Leeza Gibbons goes home first. I just don't like her for some reason.

I think I'll be rooting for Apollo!!!!! I too hope Heather Mills goes first.

[auntread]

Um.......no thanks, think i'll skip it this time.

[dejavu]

I'm not even sure who half of these people are - oops, I guess that's the point.

I'm rooting for Billy Ray Cyrus and Vincent Pastore! I liked Billy Ray on his show "Doc" and like him with his daughter now.

Would anyone have the guts to beat a "sopranos" star? what might happen to them if they do?? ba da bing...
