Dancing with the Stars New Cast

[darksea]

Last year, this show helped H50's ratings drop, this year, there is a good chance people may not even tune in. Too bad they managed to already screw the pooch

This year's cast:
Chaz Bono. Sonny and Cher’s famous child was the subject of the recent documentary Becoming Chaz, which aired on OWN and is now up for three Emmys.

Nancy Grace. The outspoken legal commentator and host of her eponymous show on HLN is expected to maintain her hectic schedule while donning the Danskins.

Ricki Lake. The actress/author is looking to return to the daytime talk show circuit by launching one in the fall of 2012.

Rob Kardashian. The younger brother of Kourtney, Kim and Khloe has worked as a talent manager but has been known to show up from time to time on the family reality shows.

David Arquette. The actor and ex-husband of Courteney Cox recently celebrated his sobriety on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Ron Artest. The 6-foot-7 forward from the Los Angeles Lakers is petitioning the courts to change his name to Metta World Peace.

Kristin Cavallari. The former star of MTV’s The Hills and Laguna Beach has kept busy by doing charity work for the kids.

J.R. Martinez. The All My Children actor also works as a motivational speaker.

Hope Solo. The gorgeous goal keeper gained millions of followers this summer while playing for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team.

Elisabetta Canalis. It can’t be fun to be known as the gal who was dumped by George Clooney but hey, the ravishing actress from Italy has other credits, too: She recurred on TNT’s Leverage!

Chynna Phillips. The Wilson Phillips crooner who’s married to Billy Baldwin recently made a much-appreciated cameo in Bridesmaids.

Carson Kressley. The fashion expert best known for Queer Eye and How to Look Good Naked now has a show on OWN called Carson Nation.

Madre de Dios. This is the very first time that there's nobody, absolutely nobody, on the roster that I want to see. Nobody. Carson Kressley, maybe he'll be fun, but he's not enough to struggle through the rest for. Even the 2 lonely sports figures do nothing for me. Even if it's fluff, I like this show. Are they trying to kill it? (Is Petey running it this season?)

No, Petey is busy ru(i)nning his own show!
Must be a intern from german network RTL. Their recipe is "The worst of the worst makes the best of ratings".
Sadly, it works! You'll be surprised....

Yeah, their casts are going down hill big time lately! There is nobody there i want to watch...However...some of my family members are obsessed with the show and they basically force me to watch it so they can talk about it with me. It seems like the dancers on the show are getting more of a following than some of these "stars", if you can even call some of them that.

Anyways, you said it affects Hawaii Five 0's ratings? Is that because its on ABC and castle is on the same network right after it...the same slot as HF0? If not can you let me know how!

[Musicfreak]

I usually watch DWTS but I've grown really tired of it. What a horrible cast!

[margarine]

Nicnak, the thing is that Dancing With the Stars often runs a few minutes late, whether by accident because it's live, or by design. That means if you want to see the end you're running into the intro to H50, and it appears that people who might have chosen it over Castle may instead just stay on ABC since they're not missing anything.

[nicnak96]

Thanks margarine! See that has never been a problem for me...I dvr the last ten minutes of DWTS and go upstairs, turn the tv on in my bedroom while everyone else watches the last dancer, and literally stare at the clock waiting for it to be 10pm....I watch the episode live, while the rest of my family usually watches it on Demand or DVR the next day...(and yes, I watch it again with each and everyone of them....)

oh dear god. don't watching dancing with the stars over here, but usually know about whats going on and who's on it and it's the same with the states, usually have a fair idea who's on, same this year, but i've gotta say, only know 3. chaz bono, rob kardashian and ron artest are the only ones i know.

surprised rob kardashian is actually working, never seem him do much else other than on his sister's reality show doing nothing.

ron artest is kinda cool, bar the whole trying to changing his name, jaysus, and i presume has nothing better to be doing because the nba are still on lock down

as for chaz bono, might have some dancing skills considering his mother is cher and obviously wants to show the world how comfortable he is now.

[margarine]

One of the factors that maybe they're thinking will be catchy is, Chaz Bono is a guy who used to be a girl, so he'll be dancing with a girl, and Carson Kressley is gay, but that's nothing new anyway, what with Louis Van Amstel, and they had Lance Bass on a few years ago. They've definitely jumped the shark with the reality people though. Rob Kardashian is a big "Who?" to anybody who hasn't watched The Kardashians, the actual show. The girls are everywhere, he's not. Nancy Grace, I guess is this season's Kate Gosselin.

[sunnyirish08]

i would agree with rob kardashian. i only know him from the reality show. seriously get a feckin job already and quit living off your sisters and while your at it get your place.

[margarine]

You really say "feckin"? You mean that Father Ted and his crew weren't actually using that as a euphemism? That is cool!

[sunnyirish08]

lol

yup, it's an irish thing,
