What Do You Think Of TV Guide’s Dancing With The Stars All-Star Season Dream Cast
TV Guide recently asked their readers to comment for who they’d like to see dance in the all-star edition of Dancing With The Stars next season. Below are their 12 celebrity picks which is interesting in comparing them to our numbers polled in our Dancing With The Stars All-star Cast Wish Post taking place at the moment. Some of the same celebrities are winning in our polls and some are not. So, what do you think of this cast below if it were to come true?
Kelly Monaco
Sabrina Bryan
Mel B
Gilles Marini
Melissa Rycroft
Drew Lachey
Joey Fatone
Mario Lopez
Stacy Keibler
Ralph Macchio
Evan Lysacek
Marie Osmond
I say bring them on even though I wasn’t real wild about Marie when she danced before. I especially love the idea if Ralph, Evan, Mel B, Drew, and Mario were to come back. Also, to make things more interesting, challenging, and maybe even more fair in some cases, put new partners with them from who they had before.
If you haven’t done so yet and would like to do so, be sure you vote and make your voice heard in our Poll post HERE. It’s fun to watch the results too. Stayed tuned because Marianya has some cool things planned for updating us on the results.
oddly enough i Love it. Just add two more names (kyle massey and katherine jenkins or maria menounos……im coll w either
and im good).
cool w either*
All are fine except Marie. Add Apolo, Helio, William, Maria Menounos
Love this list except for Marie (wasnt that crazy about her either!) Switch Marie for Sherri Shepherd or Kyle Massey. Would love to see either of them back with this group for the all star season!
So from their list, the pros are…
Alec
Mark
Maks
Cheryl
Tony
Cheryl
Kym
Karina
Tony
Karina
Anna
Jonathan
As I’ve said before, and will probably say again repeatedly until they announce the pairs and completely ignore what I say,
Either ALL of the All Stars are paired with their original pros, or NONE of them should be paired with their original pros. I personally don’t think it is fair that they mix original pairings with new pairings, especially when a pro has more than one past celebrity competing.
So, should Cheryl be paired with Gilles or Drew? Should Tony be paired with Melissa or Stacy? Should Karina be paired with Mario or Ralph? And Alec and Jonathan? Would either one come back?
I agree with everyone on this list except Marie Osmond. Sorry but the lady annoyed me to no end. That being said, looking back on it, she wasn’t a terrible dancer, but Jennie, Sabrina, Cameron or Jane could have been in that finale and made it better. Then again, we would have never had that Doll dance freestyle, but it still bothers me to this day *shivers*. And Lori brings up a good point. Would Alec or Jonathan return? I don’t know about Alec, he seems to have burned down any bridges he had left and Jonathan, well, I hope he would say “Yes” if they were to ask Marie.
As for Stacy or Melissa, I’d go with Melissa. Since Stacy is on the Temporary A-List, I think she might be too stuck up to do DWTS. But it would be awesome if she were to do it. But I still prefer Melissa, but that is only because I saw Melissa dance and not Stacy. If only there were some kind of website where I can just view Stacy’s DWTS videos?
I agree Ralph Macchio is a must as is Mel B. Overall, I’d say this is a pretty good list. Maybe add Lil’ Kim?
How about Petra (remember her?) She’s dating Sean Penn now
PETRA is dating Sean Penn?!?!?! Wow, I thought she had a boyfriend or fiance during her stint on DWTS. I, too absolutely loved Petra but the woman just didn’t have the votes behind her. But, dear God, the beauty on that woman! Wowza….
I’m not fond of Mario or Marie, and I’m meh on Sabrina.
I’d absolutely love to see Evan, Melissa and Ralph again, but I don’t think Ralph would do it after the way he was treated last time. My dream would be to see what Derek, Trista, or Val could do with Melissa and see Karina or Peta with Evan.
I would love to see Drew, because I didn’t watch season 2 and I’d really like to see him compete. Though I don’t know if I could root for Cheryl if her attitude is the same, so I’d like to see him paired with someone else. Isn’t he kind of on the shorter side? Drew and Chelsie would be great to see!
**I meant TristaN, not Trista. Sorry.
I would really like it if Ralph came back. I just hope if he does agree to come back that the judges don’t repeat their behavior towards him.
I’m still hoping for Lance Bass to return!
Only about half of that group appeal to me….some seem from too long ago, some annoying and a couple of them, it’s about the Yuk-factor of the pro they are likely to be with. I just look at that list and think there are a few others who could be much more entertaining. Guess it will be like all seasons of DWTS. Perfect or near perfect is just too much to hope for, even tho they have such a huge amount of people to pick from. If someone really put their thinking caps on and also clarified, a winner’s all-star season and a regular all-star season, they could probably put together something pretty great. For now, a wait-and-see-attitude is about as enthused as I can get.
Nathan #6, you can see a lot of Stacy K’s dances on youtube, just search “Stacy and Tony”.
Her samba, jive, and rhumba are 3 of my faves.
And I’d enjoy L’il Kim again, too.
I think that a big problem with this All Star season, is that there simply is too many people from which to choose…. The way Tom described it, everyone who competed can be considered, and there are 162 past participants…. They should eliminate some from the equation….. No champions may only eliminate 14, but it’s some. No controversial characters would eliminate more, and also make some heave a sigh of relief. Opening it to top 4 minus the champions would still have a lot of choice, but we will probably have to have Sabrina in there, and somehow, I think that they are opening it the way they are to find a way to qualify Sabrina.
I think I need to keep this on a wait and see, because there are just too many ways this can go very badly….
I think its okay but they need to add either Nicole, Lil Kim or Maria Menounos on that list.
If Stacey comes back, I’d love to see Nicole & Mya also back. That would be one competitive season. Talk about some great dancing.
@Nathan – Petra and her fiance have broken up, and Sean and Petra rekindled their old romance, apparently they previously had dated briefly after his marriage broke up a few years back, I think thats the story. I was just as surprised as you were.
Can’t see Ralph doing the show again, I think it really took a toll on his body and I would be surprised if he signed on again.
Now that I think about it, there is not one of Derek’s past partners on that TV Guide list-Did they (the writer’s for TV Guide) fall and bump their heads-LOL
As far as the way they will be partnered, I think it will be strange, even difficult for the contestant if they are partnered with a different pro, esp. if their pro is on the show that season as well.-JMO
Okay, maybe not for Kyle and Sabrina as they are probably dancing with different pros during the tour in Vegas.
I don’t think Petra and Sean are “together”; they were together at a children’s charity event that they both support and spent the evening together as sponsors of that, but from what I’ve read, that’s it.
Not everyone loved Derek’s past partners. I wasn’t really a fan of any of them except Maria.
Violet,
Maybe not everyone loved his past partners but evidently quite a few seeing that Derek has won 3 times and made it to at least week 7 with “all” of his partners. The list is not that important-Just an observation on my part.
Any true fan of the show knows that TPTB for DWTS will choose whoever they want.-LOL
You’re right, Dee. I was just saying…there aren’t any partners of Derek on the list, but there also aren’t any of Chelsie, Lacey, Louis or Edyta. Those four haven’t won but they and their past partners have fans and people who would like to see them too. My point was the writer of that article just may not have been very fond of any of those celebs.
You all did read the part where TV Guide compiled their list from the response to this article, right? It’s not any one writer of the article making the choices, but a compilation of answers to the question of who they’d like to see on All Stars.
No, I didn’t know that, Evaine. Good Point.
I looked at the responses from the TV guide article where they requested which stars you wanted to return. Of the 67 comments, 27 of them didn’t mention a person they wanted to return at all or they argued for or against Sabrina or Kelly Monaco’s return. Five of the 37 comments left wanted Ralph back, yet he was on the list, and 10 of the 37 comments left wanted Derek back with at least one his partners, mostly Brooke, yet Derek or a partner is not on the list at all. When you look at the list and the comments, it seems to be made up of the most controversial contestants. Not very scientific!
That should be 47, not 37! … and I talk about TV Guide not being scientific! Duh!
Not even remotely scientific – I didn’t even see an article where they asked the question and I bet I’m not the only one. In any case, since they ask for reader opinions in the comments, there is NOTHING stopping them from picking and choosing those who would make the best list for them to print…and cause all sorts of conversations. Mission accomplished.
Yes, the writers can still make choices.
Saying “not everyone loved his past partners” is kinda silly. Duh. And here I thought he was universally loved. As Meggie pointed out, TV Guide did a very poor job putting together a list that included the ACTUAL reader comments.
ETA: Forgot to mention that basing an entire article on 67 comments?? Oy veh. That they only got 67 comments is kinda…sad. But then, since so many people have DVRs, I guess they aren’t as relevant any more.
I know it’s kind of “duh” that not everyone would love them. I was responding to the comment “the writer’s must have hit their head” or something, because that made it seem like it would be “duh” that everyone DID love them, which isn’t the case. It goes both ways, IMO.
And it has nothing to do with DEREK being or not being universally loved. It was his PARTNERS that was being discussed.
if evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya are back together…i might just die!I’ve missed them!
Me thinks someone doth protest too much…
I would rather see Carson back with Anna rather than Evan. I tried but I just couldn’t get on the Evan love train.
Evan was rather bland, IMO. But he was a good dancer. I still wish they would only have good dancers back on the show, even if Carson was far more entertaining.
Not protesting. Simply discussing.
You know, we’ve been saying it will depend (at least in part) on who is available for the all-star season… in that vein, TPTB at least know where Brooke Burke is, and what she’s doing on Monday & Tuesday night.
I could see Brooke coming back with Derek, leaving her spot open for Season 15. Her replacement? Carson. 
A girl can dream, can’t she?
Oy veh. Much too literal.
I keep hoping and praying that Derek doesn’t come back and that his “other offers” occur at the same time as DWTS.
If it is being assumed I was bashing Derek, I was not and I’m sorry if it came across that way. But I never said a single bad word about him. I LIKE Derek. I was discussing his partners, and offering my own opinion about the matter just like everyone else does.
That list is not really representative and I also found Evan dull. Hated the way he treated Anna. Seemed to live up to his bad attitude figure skating rumors. But of course it is a big conspiracy that Nicole and Derek won and Evan lost. Eye roll. I find it so funny how people fail to admit that Nicole and Derek were just better and yes, they have fans. Evan and his dances including his freestyle were not his best.
That list is not representative, as pointed out. In the end the show will cast on who will garner a response because this is a tv show. Also really who is available. This is why all stars are a hit or miss. Amazing Race had two all star seasons and arguably one of the best couples to not have won never competed because they were expecting a child both times they were filming. No offense but if Sabrina was so beloved, she would have not been a socking elimination. I will lol if she is on and eliminated early. Or Chelsea, who needed basically a One of the biggest scoring gaps it seemed to hold off Ralph from beating her to the finals. They will probably appear because they might have time but maybe not say Mario who seems busy or Mel B.
I am will PH in wanting Derek to work on his other offers rather than all stars. If he did that and appeared once in awhile to dance amazing results show routines like the one he did with Allison, that is fine with me.
I agree, specially evan needs to come back!!
Actually, Violet, you’re the one that keeps bringing up Derek – which was my point after my initial post. YOU keep harping on it. Did anyone claim you were bashing Derek or being in any way mean to him?? Point it out to me. I was disagreeing with what sounded like a snotty comment to another POSTER. Then you started harping on not bashing Derek. It sounded to me like you were being mean to another person who posts here – not Derek.
I know this is hard to believe – but not everything is about Derek. That’s too easy.
I am sorry if it came across that I was being snotty to Dee, that is not what I intended–only to disagree.
I was trying to point out that I was talking about Derek’s partners and not him, when I felt it was being assumed I was talking about him.
WINNERS HAVE A SPECIAL! Let the rest take another shot at competition-those who can and want to fire up again. What about Jerry Springer and John Ratzenberger for a fun one spot. John R did very well for just stepping in at last min w/o getting trained up. But they were vets of fun and good will. Sabrina Bryan needs no sympathy; she is doing fine and real business sense. Making it in the busine$$ remains the goal. The BIG GUY$ at the top tell everyone else what and how to do that. For my enjoyment Jason Taylor just a joy in every category, Gilles Marini, Mario Lopez top the list I already voted for (as well as ladies). Juliennne H, and all the ladies of season 14 are geniuses of performing and inspiring contestants as are all the guys ( S14). It is a SHOW, Entertainment and Competition that shows how some win or lose with grace and style and that there is life beyond the MBT, beyond edicts from THE BG$.
