Your All-Star Dream Cast If A Reunion Is In The Works For Dancing With The Stars Season 20
The Sherri Shepherd post and the comments in it, have me wondering about a Dancing With The Stars Re-union or All-Star cast for the 10th Anniversary next season. If this is what producers are planning (and note that nothing is confirmed on this yet. We’re only speculating and discussing the possibility for fun), who would you like to see return for it? Read on before you answer…
Sandy mentioned that an “All-Stars season would only work if the entire cast was evenly stacked. NO past winners mixed in with non-winners, and NO original pairs mixed in with new pairings.”
In the new Pros Wish post, Heidi mentioned the same and that unlike the last all stars and making it more fair for everyone, they should “pick all NON-Winners OR ALL winners. Not a mix of both” and “if they go with Non-winners, then they shouldn’t go lower than 4th place.”
So, thinking on Sandy and Miss Heidi’s scenarios(can we only hope TPTB are thinking on the same lines?) and for fun (in case they are), who would you like to see dance if a Re-Union or All Star cast if something in the works for Dancing With The Stars Season 20? In other words, what would be your All-Star Dream Cast picking only from the “original pairings” and/or from “only winners” and/or only those couples who have placed 4th or higher? Don’t pick anymore than 13 couples. Meet you in comments with my picks!!
ETA: Lori was so gracious enough to put a quick list of top 4 contestants from all of the seasons for us which you could read below for easy referencing. She did not include Season 15 since that was the previous All stars.

Ok, I may change my mind, but, today, I’m thinking this might be cool…a mix of winners with 2nd to 4th place winners…
Charlie White & Sharna Burgess (One of my fave pairings and how I would love to see these two back together and dance again. Adding: I just remembered they didn’t place 4th uggh….but, I still want them to dance? CRIES!)
Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson (It would be so cool to bring back Kym)
Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd (one of most fave pairings on this show ever)
Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff (I would just love to see Ralph try and redeem himself)
Alfonso Ribeiro & Witney Carson
Emmitt Smith & Cheryl Burke (maybe she could come back for just one more season, this pairing would make my Dad so happy)
Evan Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya (Such a beautiful pair)
Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Hough (one of my most favorite pairings. I would love to see them create dances again, I also wouldn’t mind seeing Jennifer Grey, Amber Riley, or Amy Purdy come back too.)
Kelly Monaco & Val Chmerkovskiy (Val most likely will be back and Kelly is the least annoying from his top four partners imo)
Sadie Robertson & Mark Ballas (again one of my fave pairings ever on this show. I loved their creativity)
Mel B & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Stacy Keibler & Tony Dovolani
Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel
Donald and Peta
Hines and Kim
Zendaya and Val
Winners:
Alfonso and Witney
Kellie and Derek or Amber/Derek
Donald and Peta
Hines and Kym
Shawn and Mark
Non/Winners
Sadie and Mark
Charlie and Sharna
Zendaya and Val (the only season I enjoyed Val)
Bill and Emma
Corbin and Karina
my picks for a non-winners cast:
– Charlie White and Sharna
– Jack Osbourne and Cheryl
– Jason Taylor and Edyta
– Ralph Macchio and Karina
– Evan Lysacek and Anna
– Kyle Massey and Lacey
– James Maslow and Peta
– Kelly Osbourne and Louis
– Katherine Jenkins and Mark
– Maria Menounos and Derek
– Stacy Kiebler and Tony
– Mel B and Maks
– Mýa & Dmitry
There are only two that I would like to see again. Kellie/Derek and Sadie/Mark. Loved the chemistry with them!
Zendaya and Val Charlie and Sharna Katherine and Mark Marie M and Derek Tony and Stacy K Corbin and Karina
Kellie or Amy and Derek
Mark and Aly
I don’t want to see anyone who has already won. I’d like to see “second chance all-stars,” like Cheryl and Jack Osborne, Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya, Katherine Jenkins and Mark, Amy Purdy snd Derek, Charlie White and Sharna Burgess, Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd, Zendaya and Val, Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani, then put Corbin Blue with Witney Carson, Candace Cameron Bure with Henry Byalikov and Danica McKellar with Keo Motsepe.
I would like to see some of the 2nd place finishers come back and try again. Though it would be quite a come down to come in 2nd and then get kicked off early this time!
With original partners!
My dream All-Star cast would be: (these are all non-winners)
Charlie White & Sharna Burgess
Jack Osbourne & Cheryl Burke
James Maslow & Peta Murgatroyd
Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer
Bill Engvall & Emma Slater (who doesn’t love Bill?)
Mario Lopez & Karina Smirnoff
Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas
Zendaya & Val Chmerkovskiy
Mya & Dmitry Chaplin
Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel
Brandy & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Stacy Keibler & Tony Dovolani
Amy Purdy & Derek Hough
Amy purdy & derek – kellie & derek – I don’t think any of dereks partners would come back to do an all star season unless their paired with him again. They won’t dance with anyone else
My All-Star Dream Cast:
If they do have another all-stars I don’t think anyone from the last two seasons should be on . Since they didn’t do that with the first and it wouldn’t be fair for everyone else.
1) Nicole Scherzinger & Mark (Keeping it the fam)
2) Katherine Jenkins & Tristan (Bc she worked well with him with her & Mark’s Trio)
3) Rob Kardashian & Cheryl (I actually liked them, and he does need to whip up into shape) maybe Cheryl is willingly to return .
4) Sherri Shepherd & Val
5) Aly Raisman & Sasha
6) Donald Driver & Peta
7)Evan Lysacek & Sharna
8) Erin Andrews & Tony (I love Erin but I love to see if she can still do it. Also, being in Leah Remini to co-host bc she is more liked from the FB demo.
9) Hines Ward & Emma (with him & Donald on it gives the season a boost from two teams with huge fanbases)
10) Dorothy Hamill & Derek (depending on her health, I would like to see her get a second chance and who better than have a 5-time champ help you along the way?)
11) JR Martinez & Karina
12) Ralph Macchio & Witney
While I agree that it’s most fair to include only pairings who won OR non-winners who were finalists, it’s impossible for me to come up with a list of 12 pairings for each of those categories that I genuinely would enjoy seeing dance again. Which is probably also an issue the producers have, among other things when it comes to putting together an all-star cast. Tried to keep it to top 4 finishers as much as possible but I had to throw in a couple faves that didn’t quite make it. Also excluded couples who already did the first all stars.
Charlie/Sharna
Donald/Peta
Alfonso/Witney
Corbin/Karina
Hines/Kym
Evan/Anna
Zendaya/Val
Misty/Maks
Amber/Derek
Sadie/Mark
Kelly/Louis
Mya/Dmitriy
I’d rather have non winners and no candidate from season 15, so my dream cast will be
Charlie & Sharna
Corbin & Karina
Romeo & Witney
Evan & Anna
Rob & Cheryl
Kyle & Lacey
Sadie & Mark
Amy & Derek
Laila & Maks
Danica & Val
Mya & Keo
Chynna & Tony, even though she was lower than 4th place
I personally didn’t enjoy the All-Star season as much as I thought I would and I’m not sure if the ratings for season 15 would make them consider doing that again. However, if it is a reunion show I would like to see a really competitive season with winners and non-winners. I would give anything for Hines & Kym to dance together again! I LOVED them so much. So here is my wish list if we get to see past contestants:
Hines & Kym
Kelly Pickler & Derek
J.R. & Karina
Katherine Jenkins & Mark
Jack & Cheryl
Mel B or Meryl & Maks
Stacy & Tony
Evan & Anna
Charlie & Sharna
Zendaya & Val
Kelly & Louis
Kyle & Lacey
I took the time to look up all of the top 4 contestants from all of the seasons. If we use Miss H’s thoughts that they use only top 4 finalists, and either all winners or all non winners, we can use this list. I’ve tried to note the winners, and I used their original pro partners. However, as you can see, the same names are repeated MANY times in the pro spots, and a bunch are no longer dancing with the show. So, to be fair, I THINK everyone needs to be given a new pro, if they do All Stars. Also, I did not include Season 15, which was the All Stars, because they’ve all been on already.

I like the idea of people who finished top 4 but didn’t win. I am also into the idea of everyone getting their original partner. The only problem with that is it eliminates some partners whose pros aren’t on the show anymore and even some pros (Tristan, Alison, and Keo). So I am going to list non winners who placed 4th or higher but didn’t win and give them new pros. I’m also using my wish list for pros so we will see how this goes.
Charlie White and Karina – I think Karina is a real competitor and could create some amazing routines with Charlie.
Mario Lopez and Witney – I’m going to break honest. I had everyone else paired up, and these 2 were left but I think They would be a fine match.
Warren Sapp and Peta – Given the season Peta is coming off, I thought Warren would be the best fit of all the male celebrities I picked. I think his comedy and personality will be great with Peta.
Evan Lysacek and Alison – I feel with both of these 2 we didn’t get to see all that they are capable of. I think putting them together could produce some phenomenal routines.
Jack Osbourne and Emma – I think Jack and Emma are both the sweetest and that they would be so cute together.
Corbin Bleu and Sharna – I would love to see what Sharna could create with a partner as able as Corbin. If it’s anything like her routines with Charlie, this will be a good pairing.
Sadie Robertson and Tristan – This was the first pairing I picked. Tristan would get someone who can dance, and Sadie gets someone who is supportive, sweet, and respectful of her beliefs (since she can’t have Mark).
Amy Purdy and Mark – I know he was her partner for the switch up, but if Derek is gone, Mark is the only person I’d trust with Amy.
Aly Raisman and Sasha – I realized I had one too few male pros, and Sasha was a name I mentioned below my list. Since Aly is a gymnast and short, I think they could work well together
Ricki Lake and Val – Hooray for no showmance! Also, I trust Ricki to keep Val on his toes and in his place.
Kelly Osbourne and Keo – These are my two unknowns. Kelly seems to have changed some since the show, and since I didn’t get to see him that long, I don’t really know Keo’s style. This one is a total experiment.
Mel B and Gleb – I think Gleb could handle Mel’s personality well, and I bet this would be a really fun partnership.
#Laura Without question the most interesting post!! I think you have the right idea. All non-winners, all with new partners. That not only puts everyone at the same starting point, it gives us new dynamics in the couples, e.g. we know Sadie with Mark, how will she be with Tristan? I hope Rob Wade is reading.
The mix of winners with non-winners was the single biggest problem the last time there was an all star season. If I had a vote, I would vote a big NO on that one. 🙂
Wow so many options for a wish list… I´d go with top 4 non winners and a new partner
Stacy Keibler & Val Chmerkovskiy
Mya & Sasha Farber
Zendaya & Tristan MacManus
Maria Menounos & Henry Byalikov
Chelsea Kane & Keo Motsepe
Brandy & Artem Chigvintsev
Kelly Osbourne & Mark Ballas
Evan Lysacek & Karina Smirnoff
Joey Lawrence & Witney Carson
James Maslow & Edyta Sliwinska
Ralph Macchio & Emma Slater
Mario Lopez & Anna Trebunskaya
Kyle Massey & Sharna Burgess
Well these are my twelve (no previous winnners on my list):
1)Amy and Artem (She grew by leaps and bounds her first season and I just want to see her dance again 🙂 )
2)Stacey Keibler and Keo (she was awesome last time)
3)Joey McIntyre and Emma Slater (This seems like a perfect pairing)
4)Jason Taylor and Karina (another pairing that could be stellar)
5)Lance Bass and Witney (This could be great TV)
6)Evan and Allison (This could be a fun pairing too)
7)Joanna Krupa and Val (This could be a fun pairing)
8)Sara Evans and Derek (she wants to try the show again I think right? Let’s give her a second shot at this)
9)Brandy and Tony (This is a potentially horrible idea given that she had Maks last time and everything but could be fun)
10)Ralph and Sharna (This just seems like a fun pairing to me)
11)Maria Menounos and Mark (this could be a fun pairing)
12)jack osbourne and Edyta (just because)
Side note, nobody on my list got their original partner.
Correction: Jack Osbourne and Lindsay.
My list is non-winners (placed 2-4), not original partners, eliminated the last two seasons, and used my wish-list pros from the previous post, then paired them with stars I would like to see again with someone new — to see if I like them better this time. Example of William Levy. I think he could dance, and was a nice guy – just didn’t appreciate the forced connection between him and Cheryl, regardless of who set that up. Anyway, my list.
Derek – Katherine Jenkins
Keo – Stacy Keibler
Sasha – Lisa Renna
Gleb – Chelsie Kane
Tony – Monique Coleman
Henry – Mya
Witney – William Levy (she is young enough they won’t mess with fake chemistry silliness)
Peta – Evan Lysacek
Karina – Kyle Massey
Emma – Corbin Bleu
Chelsie – Rob Kardashian
Alison – Mario Lopez
But again, I am not a fan of the idea of an All-Star or Reunion season. Prefer new stars, perhaps more A-list type since it is the 10yr anniversary.
I’m with Heidi! Either all winners or not winners. THAT is the biggest reason why Melissa Rycroft beat Shawn Johnson in S15 plus Tony had never won either.
My other requirement is please, for the LOVE of God…No Meryl and Maks!
So that said, I’d like to see:
Maria Menounos/Derek Hough
Katherine Jenkins/Mark Ballas
Danica McKellar/Val Chmerikovskiy
Stacy Kiebler/Tony Dovolani
Kelly Osbourne/Louis Van Amstel
Joanna Krupa/Tristan McManus
Mario Lopez/Witney Carson
Bill Engvall/Emma Slater
Charlie White/Sharna Burgess
Jacoby Jones/Karina Smirnoff
Ralph Macchio/Kym Johnson
Evan Lysacek/Peta Murgatroyd
Oh, I meant to say I wanted Ralph Macchio (perhaps with Witney), also. But after the abuse he took last time I doubt they could drag him back! He was such a class act, and good sport about it all, but I can’t imagine coming back for seconds.
I would prefer to never see an All Star season again. I would rather they have a regular season with current choice of pros and add a results show for season or part of it. Then on the results show I would like to see past pros and celebs perform an individual routine. If Rob Wade is looking to grow the audience and bring in new viewers IMO I don’t necessarily think that bringing back old pros and celeb’s for an entire season is the way to do it, especially with some younger viewers gained in last two seasons. Also, not sure some of the past celebs would want to come back. Many used it to relaunch their career or expand their audience. For me as a longtime viewer I found the All Star season the least enjoyable. Yes, I loved Derek and Shaun’s dances but some of the others were boring. DWTS to me has always been about the celeb’s journey, getting to know them and watch their growth as a dancer. This season I didn’t know Bethany, knew only DD existed as a show I never watched but didn’t know Sadie and knew Tommy Chong as an old stoner. Through the show I was able to watch Beth and Sadie grow as dancers and young women, and found Tommy was much more interesting than just an old stoner. JMO
My dream is a ‘no All Star’ season.
Agree with Liz #26.
Here is who I would cast with new partners
Male Celebrities
Mario Lopez & Peta
Corbin Bleu & Allison
Kyle Massey & Witney
Jason Taylor & Sharna
James Maslow & Karina
Ralph Macchio & Emma
Female Celebrities
Mya & KEO
Katherine Jenkins & Derek
Mel B. & Val
Ricki Lake & Tony
Brandy & Mark
Stacey Kiebler & Artem
Mel b and maks.
Snooki and sasha
Kelly and Louis
Mario and karina
Misty May and maks.
Vin, Maria would tower over Mark. She was Derek’s height, maybe taller, in heels and Derek is two inches taller than Mark.
I would love to see Joanna and Val. She’d eat him for lunch. 😀
I hope Joanna doesn’t come back. She had a horrible attitude and wasn’t that great of a dancer.
Chelsea Kane/Mark Ballas!!!!!!!!!!!
*Shawn Johnson/Mark Ballas*
Maria Menounos/Derek Hough
Jacoby Jones/Karina Smirnoff
*Meryl Davis/Maksim Chmerkovskiy*
Amy Purdy/Derek Hough
Candace Cameron Bure/Mark Ballas
James Maslow/Peta Murgatroyd
Sadie Robertson/Mark Ballas
I’ve mentioned it before, I wouldn’t mind another All-Stars. But, I would like Non-Winners only. I would miss some of the chemistry of the original pairings but it would be unfair. Let’s take away the “Because they have never won before” voting bias where we can. It will still exist for Val and some others on the pro side anyway. Also want no repeat pairings. Again, puts everyone on even level and also gives a feeling of a ‘new dwts journey’ for each celeb, pro and viewers.
Some non winner celebs I would love to have back off the top of my head:
-Charlie White
-Amy Purdy
Because of the complaints of All-Star season before, one being the loss of the fun factor of someone going from nothing to dancer for the first time and the fact that the regular numbers were up this past season, I am guessing they won’t want to jeopardize that good trend with a most likely lower-rated All-Star season.
If I were them, I would just do a regular season 20 and fill it with cameos and bring back a results show for this season to have great pro performances and more time for cameos and interviews and fun stuff with past people on the show. ABC still hasn’t found a show that does better numbers than the results show did for the 8-9 Tuesday time slot, so why not?
My dream All-Stars cast would be: (there are all non-winners)
Male Celebrities:
Ralpmacchio & Emma Slater
James Maslow & Witney Carson
Corbin Bleu & Lindsay Arnold
Evan Lysacek & Peta Murgatroyd
William Levy & Allison Holker
Charliea White & Sharna Burgess
Female Celebrities:
Mya & Keo Motsepe
Stacy Keibler & Tony Dovolani
Katherine Jenkins & Mark Balas
Chelsea Kane & Derek Hough
Maria Menounos & Artem Chigvintsev
I would like to see each of the winning celebrities perform throughout the season, either with their original partner or a new partner. I think the judges and the hosts should also perform a routine sometime during the season — with pros, without pros, up to them. Maybe torture the judges a little and give them a THEME. Maybe have a competition among them, either with real online voting, twitter voting, or leave it up to the studio audience. I would leave the “Redemption” Season for another time.
It would be interesting if they did a “battle of the champions” and actually did all winners. If so I would like to see:
Meryl Davis with Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Kelly Monaco with Val Chmerkovskiy
Shawn Johnson with Derek Hough— 100% Derek would win another Emmy with their routines
Kristi Yamaguci with Mark Ballas
Nicole S. with Artem Chigvenstev
Melissa Rycroft with Tony Dovolani
Alfonso Ribeiro with Witney Carson
Donald Driver with Peta Murgatroyd
JR Martinez with Karina Smirnoff
Apolo Anton Ohno with Sharna Burgess
Hines Ward with Jenna Johnson
Helio Castroneves with Emma Slater
Well if they were to do another All-Stars, I agree that it should either be all non-winners or all winners. Another thing that makes it hard for me to pick the pairs is because most of the people I want to see again are partnered with the same pros (Derek, Karina, Mark, etc).
But first of all, this is my wish list of anyone who better NOT coming back (who was top 4 but didn’t win) because I just can’t stand them:
– Zendaya (nope)
– Hope Solo (again, nope)
– Gilles S15 edition (I know the S15 edition wasn’t top 4 but if he wants to be back for the third time he better switched into the charming Gilles S8 runner-up edition)
– Bristol (I’m not seeing you for the third time)
– Willy Levy (if he comes back only to be overscored like crazy… I’d rather have Cristian back then, even if I don’t remember almost anything about S6 except that Kristi was absolutely flawless and really should’ve been given the trophy in week 3 to save money and time).
I definitely had others but right now those are the people who spring into my mind the fastest.
And the people I want to see back… too many to choose. I’d like to see the majority of Mark’s partners (on the list) to be back: Chelsea (minus the overscoring), Katherine, Aly and Sadie. The same goes with Derek (Jennie Garth, Joanna, Maria, Amy) and Karina (Corbin, Mario, Ralph). I also love to see a lot of post-S1 and pre-S6 celebs to be back: Stacey Kiebler, Marissa, Joey Lawrence, Mel B, Laila Ali, Monique Coleman). I’d love to see the good laugh to be back as well, such as Bill, Jack and Kelly Osbourne, Kyle, Marie Osmond too. It’s pretty much impossible for me to choose 13/14, and even if I do, seeing them without their original partner could really well wipes away the magic that they created in their original seasons.
I haven’t watched many seasons but looking at that list there’s not too many I’d care to resee outside of Charlie & Sharna
Zendaya & Val Chmerkovskiy
Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Hough
Misty May Treanor & Artem Chigvintsev
Natalie Coughlin & Keo Motsepe
Aly Raisman & Sasha Farber
Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas
Kyle Massey & Sharna Burgess
Corbin Bleu & Karina Smirnoff
Joey Lawrence & Witney Carson
Evan Lysacek & Emma Slater (since Anna’s gone)
Charlie White & Lindsey Arnold
? & Peta Murgatroyd
I thought Derek and mark were the same height lol. In that case: Monique Coleman and mark. As for Joanna and Val: that kinda was why I would love to see that pairing 🙂
I actually was tempted to include Elizabeth Berkeley but then I remebered how strange her run on the show was first go around. One of the few celebrities that danced like their only goal in life was that trophy.
Evan Lysacek & Emma Slater
Kyle Massey & Lindsay Arnold
Jason Taylor & Sharna Burgess
Mario Lopez & Witney Carson
Jack Osborne & Karina Smirnoff
Cody Linley & Peta Murgatroyd
Kelly Osborne & Mark Ballas
Katherine Jenkins & Derek Hough
Laila Ali & Keo Motsepe
Aly Raisman & Sasha Farber
Chelsea Kane & Henry Byalikov
Joanna Krupa & Val Chmerkovskiy
Agree with a few others, no winners to give everyone a 2nd chance. Also don’t think it would make sense to return allstars couples for a 3rd crack.
in saying that my 13:
Stacey Keibler/Tony Dovolani
Mel B/Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Maks replaced with Artem)
Kelly Osborne/Louis VanAmstel
Chelsea Kane/Mark Ballas
Zendaya Coleman/Valentin Chmerkovskiy
Katherine Jenkins/Mark Ballas (Mark replaced with Derek)
Mario Lopez/Karina Smirnoff (Karina replaced with Emma)
Evan Lysacek/Anna Trebunskaya
James Maslow/Peta Murgatroyd
Lance Bass/Lacey Schwimmer (Lacey replaced with Witney)
Ralph Macchio/Karina Smirnoff
Kyle Massey/Lacey Schwimmer
Corbin Bleu/Karina Smirnoff (Karina replaced with Sharna)
(wow.. Karina has had some amazing partners!)
My first vote is No allstars.
If there is one, I totally agree with PH, no mix of winners/non winners or same/different partnerships, I’d go with non winners just because there aren’t enough winners to do a season who haven’t already done allstars. And I go for NEW partnerships so there is room for a journey, something new to be seen from them. Still, would rather thay just not.
Or, go with a all happy season, repeats only of the celebs who hugely just LOVED doing the show. Like Maria M, Carson, Bill E, Sherrie S, the ones who just full out embraced the sparkly experience. No whiners invited, and no desperation. I’d put Charlie in this group too, people who really seemed to just want to enjoy and go full out but tptb somehow ruined their experience.
I’ll do all new partners, and no winners – although there were some I really wanted to include, mainly Nicole, Amber, Alfonso and Meryl – but I like the cast I’ve done, I think!
Ian Ziering & Jenna Johnson (Since he’s kinda been in the spotlight more recently with Sharknado, Chippendales and Celeb Apprentice, it would be a good re-appearance)
Jason Taylor & Peta Murgatroyd (I feel like Jason was underrated in his season and a lot of people forget about him, but he’d be excellent with Peta)
Kyle Massey & Lindsay Arnold (Didn’t want to bring Allison back as much as I love her, because her ballroom/Latin isn’t great, so got the other young trouper in with Lindsay)
Jack Osbourne & Karina Smirnoff (Would be a fun couple and I think they’d be good underdogs)
Jacoby Jones & Sharna Burgess (Let’s give her the football player she deserves!)
Corbin Bleu & Witney Carson (Imagine how much they’d be able to do together, simply from that Jazz trio before – he’d remind me of a young Alfonso, although I didn’t like Corbin’s personality as much)
Janel Parrish & Tony Dovolani (I think she’s a strong dancer but there was too much focus on showmance, and it’d be interesting to see her with someone a bit older)
Katherine Jenkins & Artem Chigvintsev (I think they’d make a beautiful couple)
Brandy & Valentin Chmerkovskiy (I feel like Maks didn’t push her to her limits and she could have done so much more, and I think Val could maybe bring that out of her)
Zendaya & Keo Motsepe (Think they’d be stunning together)
Mel B & Henry Byalikov (Wanted Mark in the cast somewhere but couldn’t match him up, so I had Mel left with Henry – which I still think’d be good)
Mya & Derek Hough (I think they’re both very creative people and I can just imagine the amazing routines they’d put together – Emmy-worthy already!)
I personally don’t want to see another All Star season. I realized that season that one of the best parts of DWTS is discovering new people and seeing how they interact with their pro. I’ll be incredibly surprised if the producers even consider an all star season again after the ratings were so bad.
What I could get behind is an all star episode or something. Not so much a competition as a celebration of dance with the pros and past stars entertaining us with some awesome performances. That could be fun, but one night would be enough.
I agree with some of the comments here. I’m not interested in watching an All Star season. To me the most interesting parts of the show is seeing the journey of each stars, how they improved. Not a repeat. I’m assuming there are lots of new and younger viewers this season because of Sadie and Bethany. The show needs to find other young, popular casts in the mix.
I like John’s ideas about having prior contestants perform one dance, but no more competition for them. Great idea really.
@Vin..#42
Derek is 5’10” and Mark is 5’6″ (Sadie is 5’6″ in flats) She wore low pumps when she wore heels.
As far as an All-Star Season, only if it were either all MBT winners or Runner-Up Season. I didn’t like the way they did Season 15 in this respect, but loved all the “good” dancing.
@KreativeKat (51): The hair throws me off with Mark I think lol.
I would like an all NON-Winning cast for an all-star season. I’d love to see maybe Kellie Osbourne and Rob Kardashian. Zendaya and Monique Coleman maybe? I don’t even remember Joey Lawrence so maybe him. Gotta have Charlie…don’t care how much Moola they have to throw at him. I heart Charlie!!! I also think I’d like to see everyone paired with someone completely different. I loved Charlie and Sharna together, that’s the only one that would hurt a little to separate. I would love to see Keo paired with someone that doesn’t seem afraid of her own body!
I’m with John in that I’d rather have just an episode where we see former contestants perform, as opposed to compete. If that was the case, I wouldn’t care how they chose the couples or who they paired them with – but I would LOVE to see Charlie, Apolo, Ralph, and Kyle again.
Fig, I love those choices too!!
I would love to see a simple 10 week DWTS Revue/competition. Anyone who has won before, would be ineligible.
“X” amount of couples would compete each week in 2 dance styles. There would be a winner from that group who would move on to a semi-final round.
The next week(s) you do the same until we have the traditional 4 couples at the semi-final level. They compete and dance with traditional eliminations until we have an All Star Winner.
During the regular weekly show they could throw in some troupe dancing THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ‘SLUTS-ON-THE-DANCE-FLOOR’ and more like the outstanding work we have seen from Derek Hough. Would love to see him expand the Broadway style dancing, hip-hop, tap…etc.
Please Lord let us only have 3 judges: Bruno, Julianne & Cheryl
How about no celebrities just pros current and past dancing with other pros. I think of the pros as celebrities and the dancing would be great.
Good idea Tina! I’d love it.

I want to see William Levy and Bristol the Pistol…
Nah, Mark is 5’8″, not 5’6″. I also don’t believe that Sadie is only 5’6″ – I think she’s at least the same height as Mark, since she seemed taller than him even in flats. Mark is def. 5’8″ because he’s taller than both Sasha (5’6″) and Louis (5’7″).
Heidi, I thought he was 5’8″, in fact I would have sworn up and down that was the case – but the internet lists him as 5’6″ for some reason. But I believe that’s wrong and you’re right. I also agree that Sadie is probably about 5’8″ too, because those legs and arms are just way too long for 5’6″ – was just commenting on that earlier because I just can’t believe that’s the case.
Tina I like that idea too.
Sadie herself said that she was 5’6″, but hey, what would she know
Yes! My best friend #lynngo she’s right. My draem All-Stars cast would be: (there are all non-winners)
Male Celebrities:
James Maslow and Witney Carson
Corbin Bleu and Lindsay Arnold
Even Lysacek and Peta Murgatroyd
Charlie White and Sharna Burgess
Ralph Macchio and Emma Slater
William Levy and Allison Holker
Female Celebrities:
Maya and Keo Motsepe
Stacy Keibler and Tony Dovolani
Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas
Maria Menounos and Derek Hough
Chelsea Kane and Artem Chigvintev
Joanna Krupa and Val Chmerkovskiy
I’m not sure I want another All-Star season, at least not yet; it hasn’t been that long since the last one, and I don’t think it was as popular.
Mario Lopez/emma slater
Gilles Marini/Cheryl Burke
Katherine Jenkins/henery

Kelly Osbourne & Mark Ballas
Mario Lopez & Peta Murgatroyd
Joey Lawrence & Emma Slater
Lance Bass & Karina Smirnoff
Evan Lysacek & Sharna Burgess

DWTS needs something unique and spectacular for the anniversary show! Something that has never been done before. I feel the Pros have really become the celebrities, so my wish is for an all-Pro and only-Pro show, with video highlights of their partners over the years, as well as Pro dancing with Pro single and group numbers! So i agree with Tina #58’s idea!! Now that’s a show I would definitely watch! It would be spectacular!!!
My choices: only non-winners who finished in the top 4. Also I feel everyone should have a new pro.
Joey Lawrence/Karina Smirnoff
Joey Fatone/Sharna Burgess
Lance Bass/Emma Slater
Kyle Massey/Chelsie Hightower
Ralph Macchio/Anna Trebunskaya

How about bring back Tuesday results shows and then bring back former celebrities & their partners to do a fun dance together each week. That sounds like fun.
I would love a segment on “Where are they now” type of thing. Showcasing the accomplishments of some of the pros and celebrities and what the show has done for their careers.
An anniversary show would be nothing without including the confessionals, and Dance Center, which to me, were the staples of the show.
I really am not a fan of All-Stars, but I do think the producers if planned things right they could have some incredible “Must See” TV.
Yeah, the internet is ALWAYS right, Fig. Just like Wiki, right? 🙂
Sadie is 17. Maybe she was 5’6″ ONCE. And really, JJ, I didn’t hear her say that – you could have said it without being a bitch about it. Try harder next time.
An all-star season just doesn’t excite me for some reason. I’d rather cheer on a new cast. I do like someone’s idea above about having just all pros competing against each other. That would be very entertaining!
Also – for all those people who want Maks back – I just don’t think that’s going to happen.
Sorry I need to add – if the producers do an all-star season, my only request is MORE CHARLIE WHITE PLEASE!! Love him!!
Hmm maybe they should do a vet vs. rookie season (6 former DWTS contestants vs. 6 new celebrities)
If that’s the case I would cast the following 6 celebrities:
-Kyle Massey
-Charlie White
-Mario Lopez
-Mel B.
-Katherine Jenkins
-Zendaya Coleman
I personally liked the last All-Star season except for the final result because I was rooting for Shawn and Derek to win. If they do another All-Star season, I would like it to be all winners or non-winners who ended up in the Top 4. Some non-winners who I would most like to see are Ralph Macchio with Karina, Zendaya with Val, and Mel B with Maks.
I think it would be cool if the all stars got brand new partners…. I thought that made the last all star season more interesting the first time around
You know what I think would be a good idea for all-stars? If they brought back celebrities who had to withdraw from the competition such as Sara Evans, Misty May-Treanor, Jewel, Nancy O’Dell (Jewel and Nancy were injured and withdrew before the start of season 8), Tom DeLay, Dorothy Hamill and MAYBE Billy Dee Williams (but probably not) and then fill the other positions with other all-stars. This could give us the chance to see what the stars could have done, had they not withdrawn.

Still sounding snotty, JJ. Not cool!
Yeah, JJ not only proves my point, but she insists on applying emotion and motive to my comments where none exists. You’re projecting, dear. Classy.
And for the record, I didn’t say that “because I didn’t hear it, it didn’t happen” – that’s all on you. My point was that I didn’t hear her say that and that you could have told me she said that without being bitchy. Get it? Or are you so enraged that you can’t think straight?
I just thought of another person that I would be interested in seeing dance again (and this one is very random): George Hamilton. I watched one of his dances again and forgot how fun he is….and he kinda was the first “funny person” to get far on the show.
Zendaya and Val
Sadie and Mark
Meryl and Maks
Amber and Derek
Corbin and Karina
James and Peta
Alfonso and Witney
Charlie and Sharna (even though they desrved to be in top 4)
My choices: only non-winners who finished in the top 4. Also I feel everyone should have a new pro.

Would much prefer a new cast – I think it is less exciting of a story since they already start at a high level. It was fun to watch Sadie work with Mark to go from no dance experience to a confident dancer in the finale. I do like the idea of doing something with past winers … maybe have them come back to do one of their dances or do a group dance or partner up with a new season pro/celeb for a dance.
Oh yes, I forgot to say that if William Levy and Bristol Palin are back, I would love to see one of them win the MBT just to show the haters that nothing can stop you from doing anything you want to do…!!!…
I think it would be awesome to have a challenge season where each dance couple’s task is to perform a dance style against DEREK&PRO(maybe witney or someone “outside”the show)…This would mix it up and give people what they want at the same time. We all love to see his creativity&style, plus we are fans of the others as well for their styles(ex:mark)..This challenge type competitive setting will force ALL to step their game UP..IDK..IMO IT WORKS! I Never comment on message boards,but everytime i am feeling a certian way about the show and I read how everyone feels its all confirmed…God Bless:)
Would also like to see “Macy’s Stars of Dance” acts be added back,there are some really good talent out there that NEEDS this platform,I really enjoy seeing the undiscovered/less fortunate get the chance to shine..it feels like watching someone win THEIR OWN PERSONAL LOTTERY,sometimes in life a little glory lasts a lifetime, esp. If they can pay it forward.
If Bristol couldn’t win it the first two times, she sure as hell won’t win it the third. Willy won’t either, most likely. Unless we have a Melissa Rycroft situation.
I always wondered what Witney could have done with Charlie White. Sharna is a really good choreographer and did wonders for Andy Dick but I always felt she was a little too earthy or mature for Charlie. Not that Charlie’s not mature but he’s got such a lightness and almost innocence to his personality that I always wondered if he had had someone like Witney if he could have gone farther in his season. I doubt that he’d ever come back and participate in the show as a competitor though.
What about casting people who competed on International versions of the show? Or make them compete against the American ones for a winner take all scenario?
People here have tried to use this show to help launch their American careers. What better way to introduce yourself to a new American audience. And didn’t one of the Hemsworth brothers do DWTS Australia?
I don’t think bringing in Zendaya again would be right as she’s been dancing with the C-bros in their show Sway. Appeared in July and will be appearing again this month.
I also think it’s WAY too early to bring back Meryl and Maks. If I NEVER had to see them dance together again, it would be too soon. We kinda DID see them with the Val/Janel pairing this past season. Not in the mood to read all about how they “really do’ love each other and they’ve been secretly dating this whole time” from their Shippers. Please, let it go.
To me…All-Stars is the best of the best. So, I agree. Either bring back all winners or NO winners at all, starting with 2nd place but not less than 5th place.
I believe the chances are astronomically against it, but I would love to see Jennifer Grey dancing on DWTS again!
I still have all of S11 on my DVR … =}
@cindy t: I used to have it on my dvr too (had to replace it with Franklin and bash this season….great show that was canceled but really good….highly reccomend it) and have last season there too.
@howard: yeah chris hemsworth (aka Thor) was on the Aussie version. It’s really fun to watch his stint on the show becuase he looks pretty much the same. He hasn’t really aged it seems. inthonk that a couple of people from our version here in the us have done some international versions (Pam Anderson right?).
Side note: did anyone else see the results on strictly come dancing this weekend?! Still can’t believe that pixie got eliminated. She was kinda dull personality wise but lit up that ballroom. I’m rooting for mark and Karen now. He is a lot of fun to watch and kinda reminds me of lance bass in terms of dancing.
Vin: my jaw drops to the floor when she got eliminated. Like, wowza, that girl’s been murdering the competition before. She had the most highest scoring dances of the week (along with Frankie), winning the Waltz-a-thon last saturday and STILL get eliminated. I get that sometimes the best dancers (for me it’s her), especially the ones who are kinda dull, rarely win, but for her to didn’t even get to the top five, let alone semifinals, is just crazy. Perhaps she got the “Oh her scores are high anyway, don’t need to vote for her, she’ll be safe anyway!” scenario? She had never even been participated in the dance-off before! So bummed. Now I’m all for anyone but Frankie to take it, I just couldn’t make myself to really like her and I’m honestly sick of seeing Kevin.
Was probably her worst dance in weeks and her partner blew it for her talking back to Len. Plus Simon’s going on the tour and Pixie isn’t so it was in their best interests to save him. Same Daniel I can’t stand Kevin and he’s gonna cost Frankie votes in the long haul. I don’t really care who wins but for betting purposes I’d be happy for Caroline Jake or Frankie (begrudgingly). If Pasha can’t win with Chelsea Healey, Kimberly Walsh and now Caroline Flack then he should probably give up.
@M8: Trent was pretty annoying. If Robin hadn’t hurt himself I am guessing Pixie would have gone to him but here’s to hoping trent is a one and done pro. In regards to Frankie, I’m still very meh about her. She just isn’t exciting to watch most of the time. It’s like watching a mannequin dance.
@Daniel: I agree with you that people probably thought “She is safe” and didn’t vote. My friends in England also said that people weren’t exactly loving her either apparently.
Vin and M8: I knew I should’ve seen it when Len said something like “I’m choosing just from this dance-off and not as a whole” and Simon did danced better a liiiiiittle bit in the dance off than Pixie (like 51:49), but still I was very much in shock. Sad that people weren’t exactly liking her; I recall Sophie from last season was also kinda dull and I was afraid to see her took the token of surprise elimination of the season week by week, but she did go to the finals so I kinda hoped for the same thing for Pixie. Oh well. Their Viennese Waltz last week might just be my favourite dance from the whole season though, I really loved it.
I really like Frankie in person but she’s not all that when dancing. At least Suzanna had tons of charisma (which makes the fact that she went into the top 3 over Sophie a little less grating), Frankie never seems to excite me when she dances, even if she’s superior to her in terms of dancing technique. I’m sick of seeing Kevin dances with his constant “Look at ME! Look at what I can do!” expressions. And honestly I could totally see Pasha getting top 3 again (but not winning) with Caroline (with either Frankie or Jake winning), which would make the third time he did it in four series lol.
Suzanna…..ugh. She was another one that I couldn’t support because she seemed so fake. I liked Sophie though…..mostly because she was just so nice. Kevin reminds me of Anton but shorter. In his first season, I thought it was because he was so excited but it seems like he just really likes over-emote too much. Even in their paso, he was on the edge of perfect attitude for the dance and pushing it to far in my opinion. I think the only dance that he hasn’t done that in this season was their foxtrot (which was really cute but was really blah at the same time). In the ideal world, I would want to see Simon, Caroline, Mark, and Jake in the final (with either Mark, Jake or Caroline winning…..they have gotten better by leaps and bounds).
BETHANY AND DEREK
Carmen Electra should do season 20 including Geri Halliwell and Mel C

I ironically was just thinking about what was wrong with last All Stars and how to make it right. While I’d like an All Star cast with only past winners, I don’t see how it’s really possible to get a big enough cast because pros have multiple wins. I actually think it would be more interesting to watch a “redemption” season: Have 2nd-4th place finishers & some fan faves who got shockingly eliminated duke it out for the trophy.
Here’s my list with non winners. Regardless of whether or not some of these pros are no longer on the show, I prefer original partnerships because of the special chemistry:
Zendaya & Val- she’s grown into her body since S16 and she’d be an even fiercer dancer. Can be Nicole Scherzinger 2.0.
Amy Purdy & Derek- loved every moment of her dancing. Most special partnership to ever be on the show. Yes I’m biased but not that much 😉
Katherine Jenkins/Chelsea Kane/Sadie Robertson & Mark (most likely to least likely)- too soon for Sadie to come back I guess? She’s my fave along these 3.
Brandy/Mel B & Maks- Still not over Brandy not making the finale. Who else remembers the shock on everyone’s face when they got eliminated? & Maks had his best season with Mel B IMO. Mel was the best dancer her season (after Sabrina Bryan.) Plus she’d bring the “old Maks” back.
Stacy Kiebler & Tony
James Maslow & Peta
Charlie White & Sharna- I know they didn’t make 4th but they made semi finals! 4th place in previous seasons at least. Plus I’m still fuming how they got screwed so badly. If anyone deserves redemption it’s them.
Corbin Bleu/ Mario Lopez/Jacoby Jones Mario & Karina (most likely to least likely)- Mario made quarterfinals, so again I’m cheating.
Mya & Dmitry
Jack Osbourne & Cheryl Burke
Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower
Even Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya
With winners included:
Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark (I’d be most enthusiastic for them out of all couples. I hope they’d win)
Kellie/Amber/Brooke/Nicole & Derek (in order of most likely to least likely)- would love Jennifer Grey but it’s too physically demanding to go at it again.
Hines Ward & Kym Johnson
Donald Driver & Peta
And though I know it’s too soon, but adding on the winners list anyway: Alfonso Ribeiro & Witney.
Zendaya & Val! (I know they were already together, but I want to see him win with her…)
And I don’t mind who the other celebrities are, but here are my picks for Pros 🙂
Witney Carson
Sharna Burgess
Peta Murgatroyd
Val Chmerkovskiy
Artem Chigvintsev
Sasha Farber
