Dancing with the Stars Season 22 – GMA Cast Announcement LIVE BLOG!!

It’s that time once again, ladies and gents! The GMA Cast announcement live blog. If you’ve been paying attention (and lots of other blogs have been) we’ve been posting the Pros and the couples over the last week or two and you can find those posts at the following links.

But today we’re going to live blog GMA to see…if we’re right. 😀 Here are the pros rehearsing…

Okay, I’m going to get ready for work. Hopefully someone will tweet me if they get started earlier than normal. 😀

I almost forgot…DWTS has announced a few couples early:
Jodie and Keo
Antonio and Sharna
Ginger and Val

Sounds like they’re going to have Bindi Live from Down Under!! Yay! I do wonder if they’re going to pretend Derek doesn’t exist or confront it head on.

Nice little pro dance to start the second hour of GMA. I have to ask – why do the women resort to a bump and grind when left to their own devices? Tired of it.

And the GMA pimpage of Ginger Zee begins. To think Val’s fans were worried about this partnership – a ringer AND someone with a huge daily platform to pimp. Yes, Ginger was on the Valparaiso Dance Team according to multiple people.

They just teased Von Miller as a “Super Bowl MVP” – and Jenna’s getting her camera time with cutie troupe boy. Yes, he will be cutie troupe boy until I learn his name. 🙂

HERE WE GO! The Reveal:
Jodie and Keo
Antonio and Sharna
Paige VanZant and Mark
Wanya Morris and Lindsay
Marla Maples and Tony
Doug Flutie and Karina
Misha Barton and Artem
Von Miller and Witney
Kim Fields and Sasha
Geraldo Rivera and Edyta
Nyle DeMarco and Peta
Ginger Zee and Val

Gee…where have I heard this cast before?? 😀

Notice how Ginger is already getting the pimp spot?? And how is it that Edyta manages to make the other women look dull and boring?? I mean lord, that dress!

These cast reveals always remind me why I never watch GMA anymore. Too much BS, no actual NEWS. CBS, people, CBS.

Marla and Tony say they’re doing well – they’ve known each other for a long time. Misha and Artem are a bit awkward, but they’re getting used to it I think. Geraldo and Edyta talk about Ben Gay and Babies. Von thinks he can take another trophy and Witney is Witney. Doug Flutie is going to try Geraldo’s tequila. 🙂 The Boy II Man is talking what he’ll dance to – he seems to be having fun. Antonio in a rivalry with Von?? Geeee….I see the theme of the season right there.

Nyle is shockingly handsome. Go Peta!! Embrace that challenge. Ginger…I can already tell I’m going to be tired of this…She says it’s been her dream to do this. Val says she has a great spirit. He’s inoffensive this morning. Sorry, that’s the best I can do. 🙂

And…I lost my feed. Trying another one. Although I’m not sure why. Bindi! I just remembered.

Fun little dance contest. First look seems like Jodie might not be all that (or is it Keo?) Von was very good, and Paige and Mark are CUTE.

Bindi makes a “surprise” appearance from Australia with her friend Bruce the snake. She’s as amazing as ever. What a sweetheart. Unless I missed it, they are going with the “Derek doesn’t exist” plan so far.

Okay, I’m outta here. If I missed anything, I may add it tonight.
