The only star I'd be remotely interested in watching is Ian Ziering. I don't think I'll be watching this season especially since I really didn't enjoy last season at all.

**stealing_kisses** · 02-21-2007, 01:55 PM

Okay, I don't know half the people on that list. But a few of them I'm happy/mad about:

Ian- So excited, I am so happy he is Cheryl's partner.

Joey - I'll admit, I listened and loved NSync, and Joey is so much fun, so I'm happy with him.

Heather - Um. What? Seriously, her? *sigh* Not happy about this at all. I don't think she'll last long.

Billy Ray Cyrus - When babysitting, I've caught a few HM episodes, and he's pretty funny. I think he'll go far. And I still remember the lyrics to Achy, Breaky Heart.

The rest I either don't know or only know a little bit about.

Thanks for starting!

Cheryl has a great partner. Hee! Steve from 90210. I'll be rooting for them most likely. I really like Cheryl anyway.

xstarsgoblue25x · 02-24-2007, 02:27 PM

i'm actually kinda excited about this season. partially only because of Joey Fatone and Apolo Anton Ohno ... sexiest speed skater known to man

i'm also excited that Alec and Maksim are two of the professional guys.

Ian already has a huge advantage having Cheryl as his partner, she's awesome.

**stealing_kisses** · 02-26-2007, 05:43 PM

Keish - I am in love with your icon!

I am so excited about Ian and Cheryl.

GreggosQueen · 03-01-2007, 08:54 PM

Hi,
I'm kinda new to fan forum, but I'm so glad that there's a forum for reality tv. I'm a big reality tv junkie

And I lurve Dancing with the Stars! I've loved it since its first season.

I'm really excited for this season. The lineup of professional dancers is wonderful. Alec, Maksim, Edyta, Cheryl, Kym, Tony, the dancing is going to be amazing.

The list of stars is also interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing them all.

I'm especially looking forward to seeing Maksim and Laila because she's a boxer and I'm interested in how she'll dance.

Joey and Kym also has me interested. I'm really looking forward to seeing Kym show off her moves. Being with Jerry last season, she was mostly there for comedy and we never really got to see what she can actually do. So that'll be interesting. I really liked Kym last season.

Ah, Alec and Maksim on the same show! Yea! I am so looking forward to that

So after Vincent Pastore quit, now we have a new dancer... (and I'll fix the first post...)

Everybody knows his name...

**stealing_kisses** · 03-03-2007, 09:05 PM

LOL I like your link title.

I'm happy with the replacement!

**~CountryBumpkin~** · 03-04-2007, 11:30 PM

*gasp*

Why isn't Louis in this season?

...what's the point in watching?

Moonie · 03-05-2007, 07:17 AM

Maybe he was busy

And we know why Ashly's not there this season...

OTH_Leyton_4eva · 03-06-2007, 01:49 PM

just read the list && i think i may tune into a couple episodes seeing Billy Ray will be great.

**stealing_kisses** · 03-06-2007, 05:28 PM

I'm so excited, the promo department is doing a good job.

Baby-Puffster · 03-06-2007, 08:18 PM

Im excited. Im going to be voting for Cheryl Burke again this season. Go Ian and Cheryl!!! Im a little disappointed that Karina Smirnoff is going to be back. I felt like she was a sore loser last season.

abw92 · 03-10-2007, 04:07 PM

I didn't like the show last season, but I might watch for Joey Fatone and Apolo Anton Ohno. Heather Mills might be interesting to watch.

Country Bumpkin I can't believe Louis isn't on either.
