Behind the Screen: Dancing with the Stars

The Amazing Race pioneered the global competition format, sending teams across continents in a sprint that tests relationships, navigation, and nerves under extreme pressure.

The Emmy-winning series has maintained its quality across decades by constantly finding new routes, challenges, and casting that keeps the race feeling fresh and unpredictable.

I watched last night for the first time since Kate Gosselin was eliminated (ha. ) and this is one of the most talented casts I've ever seen...

I watched last night for the first time since Kate Gosselin was eliminated (ha!) and this is one of the most talented casts I've ever seen. I might just have to watch the rest of the season because everyone really impressed me last night. Definitely rooting for Gladys Knight and the classical singer.

With that aside, I can't believe that Jake went home over that classical singer who is just mediocre.

"That classical singer who is just mediocre" may be one of the best dancers ever to appear on DTWS. Katherine Jenkins is one of the biggest vocal stars in the UK.

Maybe to you but shes the best but not to everyone else. Plus I have seen way better dancers on the program and her singing voice/vocals, what have you, aren't all that impressive either. Though I may seem picky. She's sexy though.

Many years ago when I was a college student, I taught ballroom at Arthur Murray. I know good ballroom when I see it. Although her signing has nothing to do with DTWS, it does indicate the length you will apparently go to in your attempt to discredit her. Noted. For others who might be interested in her voice, here is a youtube clip of her in duet with Andrea Bocelli. ANDREA BOCELLI & KATHERINE JENKINS-I BELIEVE+LYRICS - YouTube

Yeah right. Just because I don't think shes the best has nothing to do with her singing despite what you may think. Anyway, she may be good but she's not the seasons best.

They are bringing back fan favorites, controversial contestants, and contestants that made it far and danced well. Also they mention that they are bringing past winners which I am not in favor of.

I am not happy they are bringing back champions. I was excited about contestants coming back, but people that won before? Ugh, they'll probably just win again...

I hope they being back Mel B! That's the only time I watched and I thought her and Maks were robbed!! I know she's hosting the one in Australia right now and she has X-Factor AU starting in September so I'm not sure if she could do it again. I'll for sure be watching if her and Maks are together again!

Well they could do Battle of the Champions with 12 past winners

That would be more interesting. And I'm wondering if they are going to keep people with their original partners.

ESPN is reporting that next season will be made up of past contestants. Donald Driver of Green Bay Packers wins 'Dancing With the Stars' - ESPN
We've known that in the fandom for a few months now. ESPN is late. I hope they don't bring back anybody who is dancing now other than Cheryl and Derek. The rest are mediocre or super effiminate like Mark Ballas. He annoys me. I like Katherine though and was glad she didn't win like another person here had said who will remain nameless. lol. Donald won again so that means they'll porobably choose a female winner next year, lmao. Anyway Fab is right that winners shouldn't come back. And I hope ugly Chaz isn't invited back as well.

LOL. You can try, but I won't take your comments personally. Older and so much wiser...

Really happy that Donald won over that Cuban guy. I wonder if Brooke will end up doing some kind of performance to honor her season 7 win.
molds13#530
Wow, 6 winners and all 3 finalists from season 8, which was arguably the toughest season. Pam Anderson is the least accomplished, and even she lasted seven weeks...
ViewRam90#532
Bristol Palin? Are you kidding me? Ugh they could of got someone better than her. I'm excited about Kelly Monaco, Gilles Marini and Kirstie Alley. Bummed Mel B. nor Brandy will be on :/

I'd like to see Bristol Palin hang around for a while just to **** off all the "I'm-better-than-her" liberals. Their transparency makes my day. Given that my former company had a relationship with Melissa Roycroft, I'm obviously pulling for her as my sentimental favorite; but, at the end of the day, I want the best ballroom dancer to prevail.
arilicious#535
I'm really excited about this cast! I'm rooting for mostly Kelly Monaco since I'm a huge General Hospital fan, and Pam just cause I love her. The only one I'm not looking forward to at all is Bristol. I hatedddddddd her on her original season, she lasted wayyy too long, especially over Brandy? Brandy should be on this season way, way more, or Mel B or Lil Kim wouldn't be a bad idea either. If Jennifer Grey were there then that would be perfect. <3

I gave my 5 votes to Sabrina, but I get the feeling that they want Carson Kressley back, which I would not like! I'm a little surprised that there's no Mel B, Kate Gosselin, Maria Menounos or Lil Kim. I know that Mel B is busy at the moment and Maria has other jobs, but what do the others really have going on?

Lil Kim wasn't that great and Kate Gosselin was terrible...

I agree with you, I was just expecting more of those type characters. Overall, I think it's a pretty good cast, better than I expected for sure.

I think it's a phenomenal cast. Especially since they have a ton of winners and runner-ups. The only thing I would want if I were a winner, would be the same partner I won with, but there are multiple winners who shared the same partner. I just want to know how that's going to work.

I was thinking about that too. My guess is that they'll team everyone up with a new partner.
