The cast has been announced! Immediately rooting for Jojo Siwa simply due to her bravery in being the first same sex couple on the show. I know shes huge so shell go far but I dont know much about her other than that.

Amanda Kloots is my other early favorite, I think shell win Americas heart over with her story.


Here is the cast, Im surprised Im familiar with almost all of them:

Sorry, DWTS, you lost me at casting Olivia Jade.  A tasteless move.  (Not to mention that I know fewer than 1/2 of these "contestants".     


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Unfortunately, they’ve done worse casting in the past to the point she feels harmless. Still sucks though, I don’t see her lasting long at all frankly. I really only watch cause of my mom and there isn’t much else on Monday’s.

Great mix of characters this season. Too bad Tyra Banks is still hosting.

Who are these "stars"?


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Agreed! Minus Olivia a lot of people seem likable or entertaining at the very least. Even if I’m not totally familiar I could learn to like them during the show like Justina from last season, who I frankly still don’t even know what she does for work, but she got my votes! 
 

I also like the dancing quality should be quite high this season based on the cast list, lots of prior experience on the cast, which is good!

I miss Tom Bergeron.  Happy that Witney and Lindsay are back.  I’ll be initially rooting for Melora Hardin from The Office.

I’m so excited for Jan. I’m surprised I’m unsure of who to vote for initially but she’s a contender. Also miss Tom Bergeron big time. The only fun with Tyra is seeing which outfit is going to appear next. 
 

Or if there’s a production screw up, anyone remember when there was the false elimination/bottom 2 announcement and they had to bring people back out? I forget the exact logistics, but I remember my drunk self just being like “Oh, ITS A MESS.”, but loving it.

Bottom of the barrel casting for sure. He seems likable thankfully, but bleh. Really NO ONE else was around?

Thought legit everyone was a good dancer, to a degree, other than Martin Kove last night. Amanda Kloots probably has this in the bag though.

Glad to see a real audience back in the ballroom last night.

My top contenders this season: Suni Lee, Amanda Kloots, Mel C, Brian Austin Green, Jojo Siwa, and Matt James (never underestimate the power of Bachelor Nation)

The show is getting a lot of backlash for having Olivia Jade on. Who approved this "casting"? If the pay is the same from what I heard from a few years ago, she'll get $100k even if she's first eliminated.

Oh, didn't realize Olivia Jade was part of the college scandal. That's messy casting. Not ABC SUPPORTING the scandal. Messy. 

Matt James is just. so, so boring. 

I'm happy Jojo is making headlines and hope Amanda Kloots can take it. 

Still bitter about a Peleton instructor considered a celebrity.

So now I know who Olivia Jade is.  If video killed the radio star just what has social media done to celebrity...and what next?

I’ve been watching since season one, and I would not be surprised if this is the last.

Decided not to watch after two episodes. The casting was not great.

I feel the show usually develops the personalities better so even if I don’t know someone I can still root for/against them clearly. It isn’t that interesting if a cast personality wise, the dancing is great however.
