Yeah, I wonder who will "win the lottery" and get her as a partner.

I'm was thinking an old guy a la Jerry Springer but there aren't any this season. To offset the partners she's won with in the past two seasons.

Penn is the fat one or the mute one? Always get the two confused. Adam Corolla...can't stand the guy.

They have some serious female athletes (past) this go around. I have a feeling Elvis will be making an appearance in some fashion.

As long as Karina, Edyta, Kim, and Julianne are back, I'll be happy.

Thanks. Big guy. May even turn out to be a good dancer.

Question about Matlin...I understand they (deaf) can feel the vibrations even though they can't hear the music. She's the first person I heard was going to be on the show.

Julianne and Karina are my favorite girls.

Trying to give him the benefit of a doubt. I'm sure it will be funny to watch him dancing with the small skinny girls.

I'm hoping Teller turns up as Penn's partner. That would be hysterical.

For a guy who did the Man Show, I don't see how Adam Carolla would want to do this show.


Marissa Jaret Winokur (Original Tracy Turnblad in "Hairspray"
I thought that was Ricki Lake.

^^ MJW was the original Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway musical. Ricki Lake was in the 1988 film

I like Marlee Matlin, so I am not looking forward to the producers beating us over the head with the "deaf thing" like they did with The Leg (Heather Mills).

Adam Carrolla - is he actually going to take this seriously?

Looking forward to Kristi and Monica. Hopefully they get decent partners (Please not Tony. Please not Tony )

Unfortunately, Shannon Elizabeth is probably going to get the "Jealous Housewives hate Hotties" early boot-off (and please don't give her Tony).

If this were the "Naked Gun" era, I might be excited to see Priscilla Presley. Now. . . not so much (so she can have Tony).

Damn! Guess that means Julianne will be off the show pretty early in the season.

Julianne will probably need the time to focus on her country music career.

CD single pictured. Full CD coming later this year.

Poor Julianne has to dance with that asshat. Because of her popularity, they'll stay until the competition heats up.

I absolutely love this cast. Let me go ahead and proclaim my love for Matlin and Yamaguchi before this thing gets started.

When last season's list was posted, I immediately knew that Helio would win. I have zero clue this time around. No idea.

Well, we know that if he's going to partner with her then he'll have to work at it. Hopefully, he's coordinated. Otherwise, they can just eliminate him and have her dance solo every week. In fact I wouldn't mind them just going ahead and doing that anyway.

TPTB always finds the most oddball mix of celebrities. According to the formula, the winner can't be too old, can't have made a living based solely on their looks, are usually athletic and usually charming. Anyone want to add? Start eliminating the newbie dancers now.
