UPDATE: Check out the latest Dancing with the Stars Season 9 cast rumors here.
UPDATE 2: It’s official, check out the cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 9. Nice to see lots of the cast were on our rumor list.
Yay!! Not much longer now and we’ll find out which (and how many) celebrities will be on the show for the 9th season. The Nashville Examiner says that Tom Bergeron will make the cast announcement on Good Morning America on August 17th.
So, does anyone have any special wishes in terms of celebrity? Have a favorite pro that you’re praying gets a good partner? My wishes are simple:
I want Derek to get someone he’ll sizzle (and go far) with
I want Maks to get someone with backbone that is good, but gives him a hard time 
I want Kym to get someone who will last a while and who isn’t old enough to be her father or a football player
I want Mark to get someone who will challenge him (i.e. non-olympian or person with NO previous dance experience – but NOT another Kim K.)
I want Jonathon to get someone younger than his norm
I want Cheryl to get Kym’s typical partner 
Karina? Give her someone who has a shot for a change
I want to see Lacey dance with Derek, really – she’s gotten interesting celebs her two times out, she’ll likely get one again
Chelsie…hmmmm. I dunno, she did great with Ty. She’s a toss up. I expect her to fill the Julianne slot.
Tony had two good partners this past season, but he’s been under utilized so give him another good one. Or at least, one who appears to be good on paper.
Anna has a guaranteed shot at a celebrity, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be good – I would say they have to give her someone tall, but she danced great with Derek and he’s no giant. Any suggestions?
Did I not mention your favorite? Tell me. I personally am not a big Alec/Edyta/Louis fan, but I don’t dislike them at all. Plus, Louis is working for So You Think You Can Dance, so I think it unlikely he’ll be back. Particularly since SYTYCD is going to a two season per year format and will be overlapping with DWTS on tuesday nights this coming season.
id like to see chelsie with someone she has chemistry with, rather than a married man. Her and mark are my fave pros
i want to chelsie or lacey to win this year , mark is my favorite pro along with Julianne but with julianne aout and Mark just win with Shawn ,i want to see my two other favorite girls winning
I would be cool with Chelsie or Lacey winning, but the producers really fall into patterns with who gets who in terms of partner. Lacey’s partners tend to be quirky with a lower odds of winning. Chelsie’s only been around a season so we don’t have a “pattern” yet – but the Ty partnership is not a good sign in terms of dance ability, as cute as he is.
We’ll see, I guess.
derek,mark and julliane are definitely the most stalked dwts pros ever.
Then comes maks (hotness,sucess with mel b),edyta (hot bod,been on every season).
I personally think its about time julliane left though…she was becoming too much of a winner!
I really want mark ballas to get someone old and wrinkly!LETS SEE HOW HE HANDLES THAT.
I want derek to be with a really quirky person.(I loved the fact that he ws with lil kim last season)
Lacey should just get an average person THAT is not famous at alll.lets see how her personality kicks in
Chelsie is cute but just an irrelevant being.she was better on So you think you can dance,so was dmitry.
SO yeah…I want someone random like Anna,Jonathan or even karina(although shes annoying)
CHERYL SHOULD QUIT THE SHOW.I love her cheography but she thinks shes sooo amazing which pisses me off.I want her to get someone hot and young!!so she can break up with her boyfriend.
HAHAHA…im such a shit stirrer!!
They need to put poor kim with a nice looking young stud. Poor girl is always stuck with old heavyweights that cant move worth beans..
