Hmm... how do they keep getting all these people to do this show?
What's weird is that Nancy O'Dell has also hosted "Nashville Star", as well as Jewel.

How is it even fair to have Shawn Johnson go against all these others? I imagine her body control is far superior to everybody else's, even the professional dancers.

My guess is that Wozniak will be the first to go.
Overall, the list is better than I would have expected. I was expecting Pia Zadora and the ghost of Charles Nelson Reilly.

Hmm... wonder if Julianne will partner with her boyfriend or sit this one out?
Cast list is better than expected, I actually recognize all the names except for Gilles Marini.
For me, the biggest name is Denise Richards, but she seems like an afterthought on the DWTS cast articles.

I have only not heard of 3 of these people: Gilles Marini, Ty Murray, and Lawrence Taylor.
Excited to see Belinda Carlisle.

Wozniak will probably be the worst but he could last a bit if he manages not to act too arrogant.

I didn't know Shawn was a girl.
Haven't heard much about Denise Richards lately.
I like LT. Wonder who will be his partner.
I'm still in shock about lil Kim.

Lawrence Taylor - do a youtube search for "lawrence taylor joe theisman" and you'll be grossed out by what turns up.

Still, it's a step up from SNL. Their host last week was literally "Some guy who was in Wedding Crashers".

So does the girl who draws the shortest straw get paired up with Wozniak? Has anyone of his "shape" been on this show before? No one comes to mind. Hopefully he can last long enough to do a double Segway dance with his partner.
