3.) Wealey Jonathan with (Allison) – He an actor. The television it’s called City Guys he’s know how his break dancing battle (Dance-off).
4. Ricky Schroder with (Jenna) – He an actor and film director. The television it’s called Silver Spoons he’s with his friend Alfonso Riberio was a little kis can dance to Breakdance.
5. Jennifer Beals with (Derek) – She an actress and a former. The movies called Flashdance in 1983. She’s was a great dancer!
6. Coco Jones with (Alan) – She an singer, songwriter and actress. Jones rose to prominence starring in the Disney Channel.

Andrew Zimmern-Food &Travel personality
I’d love to see a public intellectual like Ta-Nehesi Coates or Neil Degrasse Tyson do it.
Someone from the business/philanthropy world like Blake Mycoskie of TOM’S shoes or Scott Harrison from the NGO Charity Water, or the founder of GoPro, Nick Woodman. Maybe next season in lieu of someone competing as a human interest story with a disability, instead we could have an individual who works for good, altruistic cause…
Dave Grohl would be awesome.
Chris Daughtry or LiL Sweet himself, Justin Guarini.
Ryan Dirteater-PBR athlete

Kel Mitchell
Guy Fieri
Chris and Martin Kratt
Todrick Hall
Thomas Sanders
JC Chasez or Chris Kirkpatrick
Heather Locklear
Bethany Hamilton
Fran Descher

McKayla Maroney
Nicole Richie
Zoe Kravitz
Any Power Rangers alum
Any of the Mowry siblings
Any Disney Channel star, but preferably Sofia Carson
JC Chasez (NSYNC)
A “Rupaul’s Drag Race” contestant – Being in drag is probably the only way there will be a male/male partnership. I’d suggest Courtney Act.
A well-known YouTube star like PewDiePie, Joey Graceffa, or Miranda Sings.
Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens)
Amadeus Serafini (Scream TV series)
Josh Peck (Drake & Josh)
Michelle Trachtenberg (Ice Princess)
Anneliese van der Pol (That’s So Raven)
Tatyana Ali (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)
Freddie Prince Jr.
Since the show likes themes – Dean Winters (Mayham in the Allstate commercials & was on Oz. He would also be inspirational as he almost died a few years ago and the doctors thought he wouldn’t walk). Vs J K Simmons (from the Farmers commercials, Oscar winner, on the Closer series).
Mike Rowe (ex QVC host, did a lot of Ford commercials, hosted Dirty Jobs and Somebody Got To Do It – this one on CNN) vs Lisa Robinson (QVC host for 20 years, ex-beauty queen)
Carla Hall of The Chew vs Bobbie Flay (Food Network host, cookbook author, lots of places to eat. Iif you like my ideas, let me know as I have a lot more.
#Amanda I totally agree with Amadeus! I LOVE him on Scream. He would go well with Lindsay or Sharna!
For selfish reasons, I would love to see Kelly Clarkson (she’s my favorite music artist) on the show, but she just had a baby, and the show never brings actual celebrities in, so it’s not happening. However, I would like to see Laura Marano on the show. I don’t follow celebrities much so I don’t know about anyone else. Although, I am excited to see how many political joke Tom will throw in there.

Any number of skaters and American Idols
I have one suggestion (and it’s been made before by others, but it’s a good one worth repeating).
Petite female figure skater Sasha Cohen — and of course her pro would be Sasha Farber.
The only drawback is we’d be overrun — again — by the crazy obsessed skating crowd (not sure I can deal with that).
However, if we have to put up with them, I say sign up Johnny Weir too. Sasha Cohen and Johnny have been besties decades. In an interview this year Sasha said she had no better girlfriend than Johnny, which I thought was cute. He’d look good in both male and female costumes and loves sparkles and spandex more than most women; and there’s no question he’s got talent for miles. Of course I think he’d be a bloody nightmare for whichever pro got him (male or female).

Musicians are always tricky for DWTS, because they aren’t getting anybody in the prime of their career. It’s either going to a young act with perceived “upside”…your Cody Simpson’s or Zendaya’s or it’s a legacy act. Maybe Sara Evans and Gavin DeGraw were somewhat exceptions to that rule. With that caveat, I’d enjoy seeing:
Sydney Seriota of Echosmith
Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony
Elle King-who performed last season or the season before
Kevin or Avi from Pentatonix
One of the Babymetal girls lol
Sam Hunt
Brett Eldredge
Chance the Rapper
Tinashe
Jhene Aiko
And now for more random actors/actresses that might be fun…
Taylor Wily-Hawaii-5O
Reshma Shetty-Royal Pains
Christopher Gorham-Covert Affairs, etc.
Renee Felice Smith-NCIS: LA
Katherine McNamara or Emeraude Toubea-Shadow hunters
Yunjin Kim-Mistresses
Lucas Black-NCIS:NOLA
Bellamy Young-Scandal
Arden Cho-Teen Wolf
How about someone from the “Castle” cast, now that they’ve all got a lot of extra time on their hands.
I’ve also always wanted to see a Major League Baseball player. Would have to be a former player, since their season overlaps both seasons of DWTS. And even then, a lot of former players are coaches or broadcasters, but still, would like to see one. We’ve had all the other major sports represented.
Also on my list:
Kyle Channing
Dean Cain
Mark McGrath (wasn’t he supposed to be on one season & pulled out??)
Neal McCoy
Dawn Wells
I liked someone’s suggestion of Barry Williams; he’d be fun to have on. But I no longer want to see David Cassidy. He was so whiny on Celebrity Apprentice, who needs that!

I think these celebrities paired up with these dancers would be good for that show. I think they would be a good fit for each other to.
Actress Leslie Bibb with Matthew Cutler from Strictly Come Dancing
Miss U.S.A. with Derek Hough
Ice Skating Champion Joannie Rochette with Mark Ballas
Illusionist David Blaine with Sharna Burgess
Supermodel Cristy Turlington with Val Chmerkovskii
Enrique Iglesias with Cheryl Burke (if she comes back to the show)
I would like to see 2 new dancers on that show. They are Katusha Demidova. She is a U.S. and World Champion Dancer. Also, Afton Del Grosso. She is a 10 Dance U.S. Champion.
first time doing these so there might be some wishful thinking on my part. Here’s a list + some commentary as to why they’re relevant ~
1.) Cody Christian (Pretty Little Liars/Teen Wolf actor): So maybe being an alpha of his own pack didn’t work out. But maybe this Teen Wolf star could be the alpha of the dance floor? It would be interesting to see his lighthearted personality come out in dance form. Plus, to quote Sherri Shepherd, “He takes his shirt off!”
Dream Partner: Allison Holker/Lindsay Arnold
2.) Adrienne Bailon (co-host of The Real/Cheetah Girls singer): We’re reaching the 10-year anniversary of Sabrina Bryan’s surprise elimination, so why not get a fellow Cheetah sister to avenge her? It would be interesting to see what kind of progress she could make with that kind of dance experience. Maybe we can see Tamar giving pointers?
Dream Partner: Mark Ballas (though I’m pretty sure if she gets in she’ll probably get Val)
3.) Jordan Fisher (Liv & Maddie/Teen Beach Movie/Grease Live actor): Possible resident Disney star of the season. And with his debut album coming in the near future, it would be perfect promo. I feel like he’s gonna pull a Roshon Fegan but yeah he should be in.
Dream Partner: Lindsay Arnold
4.) Audien (DJ/producer): I don’t understand why we haven’t had a DJ on Dancing With The Stars yet. The US is starting to get some big names on the EDM world, and since Audien has had a song on the pop charts, I’d like him to be a choice when it comes to choosing from that pool. It would introduce the EDM fandom to ballroom as much as the performance to Martin Garrix during Macy’s Stars Of Dance.
Dream Partner: Emma Slater
5.) Olivia Culpo (Miss Universe 2012): Maybe this former Miss Universe, a cellist who has dated Nick Jonas for almost two years, can make the other dancers jealous with some of her moves? It would be nice to see pageant queens take the show to new levels instead of constricting it with chains. Maybe she’ll get pretty close to the MBT? (And this has been today’s episode of Spot the Nick Jonas References.)
Dream Partner: Val Chmerkovskiy/Artem Chigvintsev
6.) Sasha Cohen (Olympic Figure Skater): I wasn’t entirely sure what people were on about when it came to this girl (in terms of current relevancy), but further research has made me change my mind. This current inductee to the U.S. Figure Skating Hall Of Fame, standing at only 5’2″ (and this is without heels on) might just be the perfect match for our shortest pro.
Dream Partner: Sasha Farber (this is assuming Derek isn’t coming back, which is 85% guaranteed I think)
7.) Lia Marie Johnson (Actress/YouTuber): A lot of you may know her from Teens React if you’ve ever checked out the show. We’ve also got to see some of her antics in her YouTube channel. Maybe we’ll get to see America react to her dancing?
Dream Partner: Val Chmerkovskiy/Mark Ballas
8.) Alycia Debnam-Carey (The 100 actress): She created a monster fandom out of one kiss with Eliza Taylor’s character, Clarke, and after her character Lexa’s tragic death, sparked a massive fandom uprising rooted by the misinterpretation of minorities in TV shows. So surely this means that the Clexa stans will be all up for her having chemistry with a dance partner?
Dream Parner: Artem Chigvintsev/Tony Dovolani
9.) Serayah (Empire actress/rising singer): She’s rocking it on Empire and she’s featured in a single with Enrique Iglesias, Shaggy, and R. City, so maybe this might be another one of those Zendaya kind of seasons where we get a rising singer rather than someone who’s been in the game for a while (a la Gavin DeGraw).
Dream Partner: Val Chmerkovskiy
10.) Donnie Wahlberg (NKOTB isnger/Blue Bloods actor): After the successes of Nick and Wanya, I think we need another boy band member on here, but this time let’s go further into the archives. Donnie is still doing stuff. Idk if Blue Bloods is still airing, I heard something happened to it, but he’s there.
Dream Partner: Karina Smirnoff. It’s time. She needs another good partner.
11.) Brett Dalton (Agents Of Shield actor): This is a guy I’ve been wanting on the show for a while. Maybe he has a little bit of Hive still in him so he can sway the judges toward his favor… No really, he’s got an endearing personality, not entirely sure about dance moves, but if anyone from the ABC fam is going to be on DWTS, I want it to be this guy. Maybe this can be a little interlude to what he does next after his AoS stint.
Dream Partner: Sharna Burgess/Witney Carson/Lindsay Arnold/new pro – you know what he’ll be perfect with anyone
12.) Caleb Reynolds (Big Brother/Survivor contestant): Here you go – the show’s token reality show veteran. Sure his appearances were all on CBS and not ABC but if Supergirl can cross stations then Caleb could possibly do it. I see Beast Mode Cowboy performing around the same as Von Miller – a bit clunky but being about 5 times his partner’s size will help with dangerous lifts. I can see his Most Memorable Year dance be about Survivor or the controversy surrounding his Twitter a couple years back.
Dream Partner: Witney Carson (yeah, let’s give her another Von Miller-type partner, why not)
might do more but right now this would be like a dream cast
1-Mckayla marnoey ( with Alan or Val )
2- Shay Mitchell ( with Val or artem)

4- Normani * from 5H* ( with Dennis)

.@Tony
I actually agree with the Vanilla Ice suggestion and you never know, maybe he would. He did this skating competition a few years ago..
You know something Heidi, I would honestly love to see Nick Viall on next season. The last contestant from the bachelor or bachelorette to compete on the show was Melissa Rycroft. I understand Nick is still hated by most, but I wouldn’t mind seeing him.
Hilary duff – with Val
Kimmie gibbler from full house – with val or maks (wouldn’t that be funny)
Victoria justice – with mark! I can see this 🙂
Cascadee pope from the voice – with derek
Jojo from the bachelorette – with artem or val or keo

Someone I was considering for my list was Christina Grimmie, who performed several times on the show. She would have been great on the show. Unfortunately, she was shot last night and died this morning. It’s too bad.
#ripchristina
I was surprised how far down I had to go on the list (48?) before someone suggested John Stamos in light of the two members of Full House that have been on in recent seasons. Forgive me If I missed him somewhere higher on the lists. He is, not only, the biggest star on the show (as well as on Fuller House), but there has been considerable drama in his life, which would make for an excellent back story. If he can dance at all, he could go increadibly far and would certainly be a front runner. I would be interested to know if the moderaters think the producers might be able to get him to join the cast? I am a huge fan of HGTV and woukd love, love, love to see Chip Gaines from Fixer Upper.
Josh Holloway (Lost plus other shows)
Joshua Jackson (Fringe plus other shows)
The leads from 2 Broke Girls (though that’s crossing networks, so not likely….)
Kaley Couco
@Jean John Stamos said publically and recently that he wouldn’t be on DWTS. That is what has likely cooled most fans ardor to have him on the show.

I don’t pay that close attention to celebrities on a regular basis, so pretty much the only people who might be on a wish list for me are ones that I know will NEVER happen (A-listers). I’m sure I’ll still enjoy most of whoever TPTB come up with, but they aren’t people I would think of ahead of time.
One note for the other commenters: I’ve seen a few people wanting Gabby Douglas and/or Simone Biles (gymnasts), and while I would LOVE to see one of them (preferably Simone) on the show, it won’t happen until the Spring. The gymnasts go on tour after the Olympics and are therefore unavailable in the Fall. Both Shawn and Aly were on in the Spring after their Olympics. The only gymnasts who could possibly be on Season 23 are McKayla Maroney (although she might be busy with other stuff) and older Olympians (ex. Dominique Moceanu).

Matt Bomer Peta, lindsay or whitney
James Scott (ex Days of our lives) Peta
Ian Somerhalder ~ Peta
Jensen Ackles ~ Lindsay or Whitney
Mark Paul Gosselaar Peta Lindsay or Whitney

I really don’t know who to pair the guys with , I find myself wanting to write Peta, Lindsay or Whitney beside all of them lol.
I suppose I could think of some females too lol
Hilarie Burton ~~ Val or Derek
yvonne strahovski (ex Sarah on Chuck) Derek or Maks
Eliza Dushku ~~ with Val
Alyssa Milano ~~ With Val, Maks, Mark or Derek
Alison Sweeney ~ With Val or Derek
Danielle Fischel ~ Derek or Mark

Wasn’t Sean Lowe more recent than Melissa Rycroft?
I’ve seen Emily Osment & Henry Winkler on several lists. I’d love to see either of them (or better yet, both!!!).
I would like to see
John Travolta
Olivia Newton-John
I’d like to see
John Stamos
Valerie Bertinelli
Michael Phelps
Tiffani-Amber Thiessen
Mark Paul Gosselar
Fred Savage
Demi Lovato
Lea Michele
Jenna Ushkowitz(Tina Cohen-Chang on Glee!)
Sara Gilbert(Melissa’s sister of Roseanne fame)
Tim Allen
Just to name a few. It’d be fun if they could get a ’90’s Sitcom Stars season of DWTS!
I want several Broadway vets next season since they will undoubtedly promote Derek starring in Singing in the Rain a bit. That’s HUGE not only for Derek but for the show!
There are 2 additional Dance Pros I would like to see in this contest. I would like to see a Dance Pro named Paul Killick. He is a Latin Dance Champion from England. I would also like to see Nicole Cutler. She is also a Latin Dance Champion from England. They are both from the British version of Dancing With The Stars. The show is called Strictly Come Dancing. I have told this to ABC TV in the past. They have never had the 2 of them on.
I got ten bucks, Colleen, that Tom mentions Derek once and then we never hear of it again.
Princess Heidi, I was trying to be optimistic for a change. Both because I think this IS huge and good for DWTS and because selfishly, I’d like to see more Broadway vets on TV including DWTS. And after the nauseating promotion of Ginger Z last season, I’d think ABC/Disney could do more than that.
But their loss. I know Singing in the Rain will be a hit even without cross promotion.

I love a lot of these but I really want to see Gabby Douglas. I’m not sur if Gilmore Girls will be done before September but I’d love to see Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) who not only did Gilmore Girls but also played Baby’s (Jennifer Grey) Mom in Dirty Dancing and Sheila in the 1976 version of Chorus Line on Broadway.
I’m typing this one from my computer this time so I know it will be an actual list lol. I tend to think of celebs I want to see on the show based on who I think the pro would do great with. So this is my list and who I’d pair them with and why.
Bret Michaels: I’d pair him with Edyta. He just seems so nice and he is amusing too. Plus, he is no stranger to reality tv.
Hannah Teter: I would pair her with Artem. She is really fun to watch on tv.
Marilou Henner: I’d pair her with Tony and she is always on my list because she just seems so nice and I love how her memory is so good.
Ryan Kwanten: Huge “True Blood” fan and I think he would be great with Karina.
Kevin McHale: Out of all the Glee alum, he seems the most likely to say yes and the one of the nicest based on interviews on tv and stuff like that. I’d pair him with Allison
La Toya Jackson: My dream pairing was her and Derek but since he is busy I say give her to Sasha. Something about her I like. She seems so happy all the time.
Fleur East: She wowed me in the finale. I’d pair her with Mark.
Max George: He is one of the guys from “The Wanted” and my sister loved their music. I’d pair him with Witney
Nancy O’Dell: She had to drop out last time and honestly I want to see her on the show and would pair her with keo.
Two of the Olympians that win big in Rio (Go U.S.A.!): I would pair the olympians with Lindsay and Sharna.
Tatyana Ali: Another one I want to see on the show so badly. I’d pair her with Val.
Herschel Walker: On the off chance that Peta is back next season. He is on my dream cast list since season 1.
And just a few that probably would never happen but I would love to see on the show (no partners listed for these):
Jewell Loyd
Jodie Rivera
Jorge Posada
Cheryl Tiegs
Tyra Banks
Gronk
I love the Kat Von D idea too. I forgot what show I was watching (it was either Access Hollywood, Extra, or ET) but she was interviewed and not gonna lie I had some preconceived notions of her…until she started talking and she really has a foot in every door (reality tv star, musician, tattoo artist, model, and entrepreneur!). I was impressed.
Just thought of two that might be a big get if the shoe could get them: Lindsay Lohan and Wynonna rider.
Ryan Guzman (Chelsie Hightower)
Tyler Hoechlin (Witney Carson)
Kellan Lutz (Lindsay Arnold)
Will Smith (Allison Holker)
I would love to see:
Sanya Richards Ross (track runner)
Rose Namajunas (ufc fighter)
Ronda Rousey
Ayesha Curry
or one of the Bella twins (wrestlers)
Johnny Depp Jonathan Scott (property brothers)
I would also like Paulie with Lindsay and Cody with Witney from big brother 16 and 18. Devon Nakota (backstage and degrassi) with Henry or Shannon. I would like Michelle with Val and Julia with Artem from survivor 32
Devyn not Devon. Caleb from Survivor and big brother with Emma or Jenna
Kourtney Kardashian
Scott Disick
Beyonce
Rhianna
Twilight and Harry Potter Casts
Howie Mandel
Wayne Brady
Betty White
George Michael
Ellen DeGeneres
The celebrites that I really want from my other list are Paulie Caladiore with Lindsay, Britney Snow with Val, Devyn Nakoda with Alan, Victoria Justice with Henry, Anna Kendrick with Tony, Peyton List with Artem, Jojo Fletcher with Keo, Cody Caladiore with Emma, John Stamos with Peta, Ryan Guzman with Sharna, Zac Efron with Witney,and Kevin Mckidd With Jenna. Some of these celebrities are new on the list
