The Cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 13!! Live Blog of the Announcement!
Okay, here we go – Bachelor Pad. Real trash TV – like stopping for a train wreck. 🙂 Do not be surprised if I update this post just with commentary on this show. If I have to suffer, you have to just a little bit. 🙂 I suspect they will make us wait till the end of the show – or perhaps half in the middle and half in the end?? You know how the producers like to change stuff up. Vogue will be tweeting the announcement on Twitter, if you follow @PureDWTS and/or @TVBlog. I’ll add in @PureDerekHough so she can tweet from there as well.
Blargh…Jake Pavelka.
Who wants wine?? 🙂
Can you believe there’s a chick wearing a tiara on this show?? And she’s talking about having good lips because she gets injections every six months. You guys OWE me. 😉
First commercial break and no sign of The Berge. I’m bored already. Corkscrew…Heh…first teaser for the announcement and you know they’re waiting until the end.
Seriously, Kasey worried about guys kissing Vienna?? RE-lax, dude, she ain’t that great.
I feel nauseous.
Commercial break number two and a check of twitter reveals the THIRD playboy bunny of the day tweeting Derek about how nice it was to meet him last night. Get me boobs, STAT!!!
Wow. Sweet car. What is it? Lamborghini??
Commercial Break 3. Ooohhh….good tease for Castle. I expect another tease for the reveal in 4…3…2…
Those are the most hugemongous wine glasses I’ve seen. I thought mine was big….
This story about this woman’s mother getting killed when she was a child is horrible!! Sad. Okay now we’re back to shallow and pathetic.
Oooo…hot air balloon at night. Pweeettttyyyyy. Wine. :::nom nom:::
Another manufactured awkward silence on The Pad and we’re into Commercial Break 4. We should be getting something in the next 20 minutes. Please, god…
Stand by, this show is about to get violent. Things are looking up. If we’re lucky there will be bloodshed.
This Blake dude is a dumb ass (tm Red Foreman).
Thanks to the person on twitter who suggested Tabasco in the eyes…that shit burns you know. 🙁
Okay, pay attention – provided that Brooke isn’t completely full of crap, there should be something in the next 8 minutes.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Blake hopped out of the limo and slammed the door on Holly’s legs?? Just me?
Wouldn’t it be funny if Holly skiied into a tree?? No?
Stand by….it should be now….and no shock Brooke has no clue…
Oh my god….super corny….no wonder he’s on this show….
Okay so they just showed a countdown clock with less than ten minutes on it.
Now we need a break from the drama for some DRAMA!!! Bring on Brooke and Tommy B!!
And Here we GO!!! Brooke and Tom!!! The CAST is….
Ricki Lake – Actress and TV Show Host, Ricki is 42 and best known for her role in Hairspray and her TV talk show.
Ron Artest – Pro Basketball Player with the LA Lakers. He is 31 and also has a bit of a reputation. 🙂
Kristin Cavallari – Actress, best known for her “role” in reality shows Laguna Beach and the Hills, but has also appeared in CSI and numerous other show.
Chynna Phillips – singer and actress, best known as part of Wilson Phillips. Daughter of Mama’s and Papa’s band members John and Michelle Phillips. Chynna is 43 years old and married to William Baldwin.
David Arquette – David is an actor with a long Movie and TV resume, including the Scream series. At age 39 he is married to Courtney Cox.
Carson Kressley – surprise!!!Carson is best known for the TV Show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and being all around hilarious!! Carson is 41 years old.
Tom gave a hint by showing Mamma Kardashian in the audience. And the other half will be announced later.
Here we go!! Part II!!
Nancy Grace – Nancy is a legal commentator, talk show host, TV Journalist, and former prosecutor. She has her own TV show on HLN. She’s 51 years old and a married mother of twins. To say that she is a controversial figure is putting it a bit mildly.
Jr. Martinez – JR is an actor on All My Children, but he’s also a retired soldier and spokesman. He served in Iraq where, in 2003, he was burned over 40% of his body. He’s 28 years old.
Hope Solo – Goalkeeper for the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. Hope is 30 years old and single.
Rob Kardashian – Really only famous for his family, Rob is on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Khloe and Lamar. His father was attorney Robert Kardashian, who worked on the O.J. Simpson Trial.
Elisabetta Canalis – An Italian actress and model, Elisabetta is best known in this country for dating George Clooney. She is 32 years old.
Chaz Bono – Transgender activist, Chaz also is a musician. He is best known, probably, as being the only child of Sonny And Cher.
Tom talking to David about why he’s doing the show. He says dancing makes him happy and it provides grace in his life.
Cameron Matheson – JR, you have been an inspiration to your fans…. JR – I want people to take away that positive thinking with a positive attitude you can get through anything. (I love him).
George Penachio – Nancy, how do you compare live news with the pressure of Live Dancing – lot easier to report on the news than to be the news….
Monica Rizzo from People – Ricki Lake – fan since hairspray. Will that give you and edge. Ricki – I was 200 lbs and faking it and I was younger. No edge.
Brooke – Chaz, what do you think of the competition?? Chaz – it’s daunting. 🙂
Note: all of the above was me typing and paraphrasing very quickly to try and get the gist. I appreciate the reporters not giving all the attention to Chaz. Brooke was the only one to ask him a question.
Okay, that’s it for the cast announcement. Later tonight I will take a stab at guessing the pairs. Stay tuned for all the Season 13 news and the Pairs announcement on Wednesday.
Hiw about a case of beer and a bottle of your favorite wine.
As long as Justin Bieber is not on the show i’ll be happy
Things I’d rather do than watch Bachelor Pad:
1.) Clean the grout in my bathroom
2.) Eat spam
3.) Get a Brazilian wax
4.) Start doing next year’s taxes
5.) Reformat my hard drive
6.) ANYTHING
I really don’t think I want to watch their kissing contest. 😯
Courtney it like I want to bang my headi into the wall first.
Im hearing a rumor that Nancy Grace will be on DWTS, is this for real?
Thanks for making this sacrifice for us Heidi. Much appreciated! And I like reading your entertaining commentary on this trash show 🙂
nick i heard the cast was leaked and she was listed
I will give you some of mine Heidi. I hate them.
OMG, do people watch this trash on a regular basis???!!
The Bachelor is just so-so. The Bachelor Pad is just so awful.
I cannot believe this drivel is actually on tv again. And, the DWTS stuff will probably be on in the last 10 minutes of the show. Gotta keep us watching somehow.
I’d go for a root canal rather than to watch this silly show. Thanks to you guys for keeping me updated.
Yeap Nick. It was leaked that she will be on unfortunately.
LOL, this show is so juvenile. I can’t believe people actually watch it week to week!-SAD!!! Think I’ll take about a 20 minute break from this show!
I can’t believe they classify this crap under “reality” it’s soo fake!!
I am glad I am just watching the blog then Program sounds terrible
Turrible. Very turrible. But I have wine. 🙂
You will probably have to have beer after this too Heidi
i’m just going to put the show on mute until the cast is revealed lol
Good idea Breanna
I love Castle. One of my favorite programs.
yup 🙂
Damn. I have no beer.
ABC is really cruel to viewers to expect them to watch The Pad to get our Dancing news. Thank you for your sacrifice. Fortunately the local ABC station is off the air for a few days so I can avoid the temptation to view live announcement and just have a few drinks in sympathy for you having to watch Vienna & Kasey.
Want me to get you some? Just how big is your wine glasses anyways heidi?
That car was nice…it was a ferrari
Woo. Ferrari are very nice.
He needs her right now…and she needs him. Holly or Melissa? Just take both!
Excuse me, but I have to go vomit ….. no alcohol involved!
Hey guys Derek just tweeted!!!!!!!!
Lol wow Jennifer
My wine glasses hold about a third of a bottle…when filled half way. 🙂
Im multitasking. A whole bottle for a full glass.
Why is that important?? He’s not at the reveal. None of the pros are. Although I can understand your concern based on Brooke’s tweet earlier. :::sigh::: I really think she’s just an airhead with no real knowledge.
Chelsie tweeted she is not on this season which found our here. Her and Mark will guest appear on a reality show called Rockstar Academy. Here’s the link: http://www.peoplepond.com/rockstaracademy
I haven’t heard of this show has anyone.
You must have one of those Cougartown wine glasses – Big Mike or somebody!
I swear this show casts people who couldn’t get dates cuz they were too big of dicks
I hope they start revealing soon. Are you still watching it Breanna
This post is making my night. I actually vividly remember your live blog from last year, Heidi. If it’s any condolence, your suffering leads to some pretty funny updates… Thank you. 😀
unfortunately yes and i feel like i’ve lost about 20 brain cells lol
My brain would be a pile of mush if I would watch it.
LOL Heidi. You are making my night.
haha!
you guys saw the pic i got with derek in wisconsin right?
People actually watch this Bachelor Pad thing? It’s just painful…
Yes I did Breanna. I think we dont want us to watch it. He keeps tweeting.
what do you mean?
He doesnt want to see who is on DWTS. LOL
Lol You don’t know that
Convenient time for him to be tweeting. LOL. Im kidding.
haha i kinda figured you were, dancing is derek’s life pretty much
Heidi you are killing me. Too funny.
Another hour yet? Are you kidding me?! Ahhhhh!!!
No way. Just announce it already.
SO, what’s going on??
Nothing yet. As far as I know Amanda.
They just said 10 more minutes….ugh!
10 minutes to us is in an hour it seems.
Agreed it just seems to drag on forever
Saw Mark twit he was getting a haircut. Was hoping he would keep it longer and revert back to the old Mark.
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. lol
NO! NOT THE TICK TOCK!! *rocks back and forth*
well the leaked list is true darn it
RebeccaW – Bummer. 🙁 Just started watching S10, but I saw a few clips of Mark with his earlier partners and really preferred his hair, attitude, and choreography there… Well there’s still hope I guess!
Carson! He’ll be fun! He’s hilarious!
Carson Kressley wasn’t on the leaked list, was he?
I’m not sure
Let the speculation begin who will be dancing with who
No Carson was not on the Leaked list.
there’s still more celebs coming up
I’m looking forward to seeing Carson on the show. He’s hilarious!
Alright heidi. Do you think Derek is still going Riki Lake.
Jumping up & down with excitement for Carson. I love him!!! So funny!
i’m not that impressed with the cast so far
Not surprised so far, cept for Carson. Looking forward to that, I hear he’s a hoot 🙂
I feel like read about Carson here or for another season. Yes! Looking forward to him! Love Ricki,Chynna and Ron is ok. Kristin? Bleh. Back in Laguna beach days, mad tv did a great parody of her.
Carson will be funny and lusting after the male pros I’m sure…boys better watch out! Hahaha…
The guys (Maks, Val, Tony, Teddy, etc) will be excited about playing basketball with Ron Artest during rehearsal downtime…
I have to wonder if Carson’s absence from the cast announcement is an indicator that his doing the show was a very, very last-minute decision – due to one of the guys dropping out. Surveying Twitter, seems like most think it’s Ryan – but I’m thinking it could be Chaz. Now I’m really anxious to found out!
I believe Derek was going to be with Ricki Lake as of a day or so ago. If the female celebs are correct, then I still think he is. But if there is a surprise in the women?? All bets are off.
Are you kidding me? I went to the gym thinking I would get back and the intire cast would be revealed and all this Bachelor Pad crap would be over and the cast would be revealed ” Did i say that already? “.Shame on me for thinking I could skip out on the crap fest named Bachelor Pad. Karma sucks, folks. 🙂 Anyway great cast so far! You all rock!! 😀
Is it possible that Carson could be partnered with a male pro? I was just thinking how much I’d like to see him with Mark as a partner.
Nancy Grace?! really?
Ok officially not watching this season
Why Breanna?
Wow Carson K, he should bring a lot of fun to the show!
Cuz i don’t like anyone on it this season
I wonder if JR Martinez was ever real for this season????
Breanna: Do you like any of the Pros? I know it’s DWTS but it’s fun to watch the Pros.
Disappointed with this line up.
JR is my fave. I want him at the very least outlast Kristin and Rob. His story is moving.
Alright Heidi. When is the pros going to tell us? When do they usually say it?
@Courtney – I am sure Carson not being there has to do with the Hurricane that hit NYC this weekend. Most flights have been canceled.
So it was Ryan O’Neal who was wrong.
I don’t think they’re going there, Jen.
I think it’s gonna be a fun season! The cast of characters are interesting and diverse.
I’ll imagine that the censors had best be ready for some really funny comments between Carson and Bruno…both are pretty outspoken!
Supposedly the pairs will be announced on Wednesday morning.
NOTE: People, I have ZERO tolerance for hate and bigotry. If that is all you can think to spew toward Chaz and/or Carson, you are not welcome here. Consider your words as there will be little warning before I start banning people.
I like Derek hough obviously so maybe i’ll watch for him
Nice photo of Elizabetta, Heidi! LOL I’m warming up to the cast. I think Carson will add a lot. With the heartbreak stories, we need some laughs.
Wow, what a night. So exciting! I’m out of breath. lol
So, I’m a little disappointed about Ryan not dancing. I wonder why he dropped out or was the #dwtsgossip leak incorrect? Regardless, I’m excited about Carson Kressley dancing!
HERE’S TO DWTS SEASON 13 ALL!!
Who is putting people down? It will be interesting to see how this season will be. Looking forward to watching it.
Hope’s website is hope-solo.com
My guesses for the pairings:
The women:
Hope – Maks
Elisabetta – Val
Nancy – Tristan
Chynna – Tony
Ricki – Derek
Kristin – Mark
The men:
David – Kym
JR – Karina
Chaz – Lacey
Ron – Cheryl
Rob – Peta
Carson – Anna
Carson and Anna? So much fun! If correct of course
Kate, it could be the weather keeping Carson away, but I don’t think we can rule out Ryan dropping out at the last minute, either. DWTSGossip has proven correct time & again – his or her source is obviously legit & well-connected, so unless the higher-ups were feeding him/her 11 real cast members & one fake one (which makes no sense to me), I daresay Carson was a last-minute switch. The fact that we heard absolutely NOTHING about him in the rumor mill this season speaks volumes to me, too. Unless someone is pretty unknown in the mainstream (i.e. Mike Catherwood, Kyle Massey), we usually hear at least a few rumors about them doing the show before the cast announcement. Not a peep w/Carson. I wonder what prompted Ryan to suddenly change his mind.
I’ll second those, Gitte! Sound good!
Princess Heidi…
Since your non-hate comment was directly posted after my comment…were you directing that at me?
Hope not!
Sorry for the people who won’t be watching this season…you’re gonna miss a good one!
I think that’s just Ryan’s personality, Courtney. He’s kind of erratic. I wondered how much effort he was actually going to put into it in the first place. Could have something to do with his son just being arrested again recently too.
Love Carson and Anna together. Hope it true!
Ryan dropping out and Carson signing on late could explain the delay in finding out if Anna was back or not.
I think so to Melissa. 🙂
I’m basing it on the fact, that I think Carson might be a last minute replacement for Ryan O’Neal, and Anna was the last pro to find out she would be on this season. Everybody thought she would be out and Chelsie would be in.
Maybe Chelsie would have been Ryan’s partner? And when he backed out the producers thought Carson would fit better with Anna than Chelsie?
@DWTSGossip has always done great with the 411! The change was probably last minute and @DWTSGossip just didn’t get the memo yet. 😉
Gitte, I don’t think so. I think Chelsie was already out for a little bit.
Well, Courtney, Ricki Lake wasn’t in the rumor mill either, remember. 😉 Our internal rumor mill, on the other hand….
The person who I was directing my hate comment at got their post deleted. So if all of your posts are present and accounted for, it wasn’t you. 🙂 Except for Gitte – she double posted the same thing so I deleted one of those.
Yes, Courtney and Heidi … are you going to spill now on the internal rumor mill?? 🙂
Carson and Anna would look very pretty together. Seriously.
i’ll be rooting for derek and ricki
I would love to see Carson and Anna together. I can also see Anna’s sweet and nurturing side working well with JR. ARGH! I don’t know WHO I want my redhead to get!!
I was taking both the internal & external rumor mills into account, Heidi 😉 And yes, Liz, DWTSGossip is always right on the money – so if he/she thought Ryan was still in as of when they leaked the cast last night, his drop-out & replacement w/Carson seems to have happened within the last 24 hours…which could explain why Carson couldn’t make it to the cast announcement, both due to the weather and there just not being enough time to drop everything & head to the west coast. Pick whatever reason you want for him not being at the announcement – but I don’t buy that this was planned ahead of time, leaking Ryan’s name with everyone else’s just to throw people. Why leak 11/12 names & lie about 1/12?
I will be voting for Derek and Ricki, if that is his parner. Whoever he is partnered with. But hopefully Ricki.
Heidi: I didn’t post the same post twice. Yes – both had my predictions, but the intro was different. AND I only posted it once on this topic and once on another topic.
Jennifer he is with ricki
I generally go into each season with the ehh…who are these people? But in the end it’s fun getting to know the celebs.
Bring on Season 13!
Carson!! What a happy surprise 🙂 I think he’s a hoot… and I like the idea of a partnership with Anna. I was also pleased that Ricki is on this season.
As usual, I’ve only heard bits and pieces about most of these celebs. So do tell, is there a hidden dancer or two just waiting to bust out of this pack?
Apparently Ryan had to drop out due to his knee http://www.accesshollywood.com/_article_52788
Oops, sorry Gitte. I was reading fast on the dashboard and they both looked the same. I’ll put it back. It’ll be like magic. 🙂
Thank you Heidi! The only way I could have made it through that “show” would have involved heavy medication &/or drinking myself into a coma. Also, thank you for your zero tolerance on intolerance.
Carson kressley will be hilarious! I’ll watch for him until he gets elimnated!
I’m excited to see Maks’ bro as one of the pros.
[…] that we know the Dancing with the Stars season 13 cast, I thought it would be cool to see whether people are excited for the new cast or not. Just click […]
Great, Nefron… hopefully that means you’ll be going away from here too then. Buh-bye.
Well, I like to think Ryan O’neal dropped because I begged him to. Ha. However he is 70 years old and just had knee surgery. (I didn’t know it was a replacement though.) Frankly, he is/was too big a movie star to do this show. Geesh, that would be like Steve McQueen (yes, I know he’s “gone”), Robert Redford or somebody like that doing the show. Those people were the Tom Cruise’s, Brad Pitt’s etc. of their day. Real A listers. Real “movie stars”. I would hate to see him “go out” that way with the likes of Bruno insulting him. I mean really. Look at how Bruno treated Michael Boulton. Sure the guy couldn’t dance BUT those comments were simply extremely rude and uncalled for. As rude and critical as I can be….I was even disturbed by them….ha. Anoter thing, I can’t imagine Ryan controlling his temper wit some of the judges off the wall comments. I think the whle experience would be just SAD.
BTW, I’m glad Derek is back….but I’ll miss Chelsie. I would rather see her than Petra. However, this isn’t as much of a blow as losing Louis (not to mention Dimitry.) I wonder how they made those decisions. Maybe the pros had conflicts rather than the producers just replacing them for this season? Anybody have the skinny on that? Also….anybody have the skinny on whatever happened with Mak’s Bachelor season ? Did he find a gal or not? If not, this Hope is physically a good match for him. 🙂
University of Texas filed law suit against Ryan re:
picture of Farrah they say belongs to them.
Farrah is an alum there
whats interesting is that kristin went out with rob’ stepbrother Brody a few years ago.
Just a friendly neighborhood PSA: if you don’t like Chaz and his life choices, fine. That’s your perogative. But you won’t be sharing your opinions on his choices with us here – any post deemed offensive, homophobic, disciminatory, etc. will be swiftly deleted and we may just block you permanently. Our tolerance for this kind of hate speech is non-existent and talk like that just undermines the atmosphere of the site. You’ve been warned. Now carry on 🙂
Thanks,
The Management
I heard that Chelsie was waiting to see if her celeb was going to sign. I wonder if Chelsie was going to be Ryan O’Neals partner and when he couldn’t do it then decided on Carson. With Carson on, they decided to pair him with Anna. That does make sense. I couldn’t see Chelsie with Carson.
I do agree that this was probably a last minute change. I still think Carson was stuck in NYC due to weather but a last minute change also prevented him from getting to LA early.
I’m psyched-up about Carson! I think he’s going to be a hoot! Anna would be the best for him – Karina would be too much of a task-master, I think…
Also, I’ve got to tell on myself. Was looking at the GREAT cast photos you’ve got posted above, and saw the pic of Hope Solo. My first thought? “Why in the world would someone play soccer with long, dangly earrings on?” On the second (or third) look, it’s just the soccer net behind her! 😀 Had to laugh about that!
How tall is Hope Solo? Sitting with all the other celeb cast women, Hope seems like the tallest/biggest. Even if she’s only on the show because Maks asked for her, she might have had to be partnered with Maks anyway due to her height/size/strength.
I have to admit this might be the first season I don’t tape(I’m oldschool I use the vhs tape recorder) the show. The stars are so-so(I don’t know many of them and from what I’ve googled there are only a few A listers). The only one I hope they use her other “Star status” is Elisabetta canalis because she is an awesome actress(the movies/shows are in Italian).(As opposed to the “ex of george clooney star status).
Well, Teresa, I think it’s going to be your loss. 🙂
I’m with Evaine. I was excited last night. But, after watching all the interview videos today, I have never been more excited and touched by a cast as I am this one. Seriously. Before you hang the season out to dry or prejudge it any fashion, please view all of the videos we’ve posted so far today (and more at the links where they came from)to see what I mean. If these people aren’t “stars”, I don’t know what a star is.
Voquerista- I’ll still watch the show but I don’t know if I’ll be taping it(I really should get TIVO), like I have for a few seasons. I only tape the seasons that have stars I know and this season I don’t know any of them. Though I still haven’t figured out who some of the “stars” are(I cannot place Carson Kressley. I know the name but I am drawing a blank on what show he was on besides Queer eye for the straight guy. it was a fashion show I know that).
@Teresa – The thing is, I have a feeling that just about everyone is going to like this cast after the first show or two and I would hate for you to be saying to yourself, “DAMN, I wish I had taped that!”. I’ve said that to myself FAR too many times. Why not tape the first few and if you’re still not inspired, recycle the VHS tape on another show? 🙂
Carson was on Oprah quite a few times in the past few seasons and he’s a big part of the new OWN network.
Teresa, I have a feeling you are going to want to watch it and tape it. You just wait and see. 😉
PS: and again, I seriously stress to you (and everyone) to watch all the videos from last night and this morning. You really get to know this cast in a deeper way and some are really touching.
I dunno, I think that they already have figured Anna out, that she was in and Chelsie was out. Ryan had started rehearsing before he had to pull out.
Evaine, I so agree with your post #117. Anna is one, or even my very favorite of the female pros and I would love to see her with either Carson or J.R.
yeah, Sandra, that occurred to me as well. She’s too tall for most of the other guys on the show, at 5’9″. Could have been Tony or Dmitry, I suppose, but you know it wasn’t going to be Mark, Derek, Val, Louis or any of those guys at 5’10” and under.
@Vogue – Absolutely!!!
LOL, funny post and tanks for watching the Bachelor Pad for us. I had it on in the background last night. I read while the show was on, but watched the commercials waiting for the cast announcement. LOL
Interesting cast. I look forward to getting to know them. JR seems so sweet (reminds me a little of Petra in that way). I’m really hoping he is paired with Karina.
What has happened to this show? With the exception
of Nancy Grace, I see no Stars/celebrities. Perhaps they should change the name. Like ..What is your Pedigre?
Grrr, that is just sooo rude Susan!!
Perhaps you’d like to borrow my glasses, Susan?
Pssst… and it’s Pedigree. ( I always think that disrespectful comments should be spelled correctly.)
@Susan – They may not be so called starts in your eyes. But they are far from dogs… I agree with Vogue, that was not a very nice thing to say.
@Evaine- thank you! I knew Carson did more than “queer eye for the straight guy” and as soon as you said he was on oprah I rememembered he hosted the “how to look good naked” show that was on a few years ago.(fashion show about self confidence).
And I might have to do that(really should upgrade from VHS but I’m lazy.) and just record the first ep. see if I like it/want to continue recording it.(my luck would be if I dont’ record it they would have a “all male pros must go shirtless” week and then I’d be sorry I didn’t tape it) 🙂
@Teresa – *two thumbs up* I can’t tell you how many times I’ve regretted not taping something. Hindsight and all, right? *g*
my guess is they made the choice between
Anna & Chelsie based on the last celeb they were getting. Chelsie doesn’t do well with a much older guy(Michael Bolton & Jake didn’t seem to appreciate being told what to do by someone who looks & acts like a teenager)…Even though I love Chelsie, but understand why Anna would have been a better fit for Ryan. I know Chelsie is much older than a teenager, but there is an innocence about her that makes her look like one. Now that Derek is back, I hope that they appease us Chelsie fans with a Derek/Chelsie pro number…I like their dance floor chemistry better than Mark Chelsie.The celebs this year may not be A list, but they sure are compelling,
Just sayin’ – this site is frequented and run by fans of the show. If you’re not a fan of the show… well, do the math.
Two different Susans – I’m thinking last initials might be in order. 🙂
That’s okay Heidi. 🙂
Just the fact that you sat through Bachelor Pad is excuse enough.
I still can’t believe I watched that trash. 🙂
What’s the name and purpose of the show?. This cast has so much drama attached to it, it seems like the dancing will be an after-thought. Just follow everyone a la one of the other REALITY shows. That may be the sad part, that TV producers don’t feel entertainment can stand on its own merits???
Are we gonna get to see the new studio before the show starts to air?
looking forward to getting to know the cast (and changing my perceptions of them 😉 ) Since i am in the uk i rarely know who many of them are at the start
I really hope one of the channels here shows it so i dont have to rely on you tube (i would subscribe to hula but not available to us over here grr)
only interview i have seen so far is one on eonline – kelly monaco did a great job and i think she would be a great replacement for Brooke – who i liked as a contester but ugh as a presenter
love this site and you guys – thanks
and special thanks to heidi for “the pad” commentary – even better than the snarky ones on eonline/soup 😉
Ok who will get the italian sexpot? Maks and. Her wont get any work done lol. I’m afraid for Tony bc he is married. I’m only half kidding 😉
[…] Princess Heidi at PureDWTS forces herself to watch and liveblog the entire Cast Reveal episode of “Bachelor Pad”, needs alcohol to do so. […]
This is sort of off topic, but I heard that there is going to be an elimination in the first week. I really hate that because I think the celebs deserve to have 2 dances under their belt until the first elimination- a latin and a ballroom. A prefer that way than eliminating someone so fast. The cast is growing on me… =)
[…] And here are the official pairs per Good Morning America – and I think they probably know. You can read more about each of the celebs at our Announcement Post. […]
I agree with Elmari. Much as I hate double-elimination weeks, I’d rather have 2 couples eliminated in Week 2 than a couple having to leave in Week 1.
I wish the fall season wouldn’t eliminate a star on wk 1 but it is what it is.
Maybe the reason Elisabetta is on the show is possibly there is some kind of reality show in the works and they want to get her face out there. Kind of like with Audrina. Can’t see where she is the favorite at all, most of us on here are thinking, Elisabetta who? Her accent is heavy and that might not resonate well with some.
I hate elimination on week 1. All the dedication, hard work, and preparation and then theres only one live performance and its over. It kind of sucks.
@Sandy- Elisabetta might also be trying to break into more “American” movies as oppossed to doing solely the Italian shows/movies she is known for. I don’t think she needs to or is doing a reality show though(just my opinion considering she has Italian movies/shows still going on.)
