The Pro Dancer Lineup Live Blog – DWTS Season 10

ETA8: Anna Trebunskya confirms that she’s IN.

ETA7: AND sorry Dmitry fans – he’s out for the season.

ETA6: Sorry to anyone who is following this blog – I’m having a hard time keeping up. Having a real job with real responsibilities sucks sometimes. ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway, I believe Karina has said she’s out for the season. ย Dmitry still doesn’t know. And Louis just did his seasonal HUGEMONGEOUS ย hint that they meet their partners on Friday. ย :::sigh::: ย Tired. ย Really tired of hearing about Cheryl Cole. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Now, if you consider what Chelsie said about only four female pros back this season and consider that they AREN’T adding a new pro, then here is the possibility. I think.

Women Professionals
-Cheryl
-Chelsie
-Edyta
-Anna T.

Lacey, Karina are out for sure, Kym and Anna D have been silent. If Chelsie is right, then Dmitry still has hope. But Kym and Anna don’t.

Male Professionals
Derek
Damian
Tony
Maks (still not sure if he REALLY confirmed)
Mark
Louis

If Chelsie’s wrong and they have 5 women – not good for Dmitry. If Chelsie’s right – Dmitry should have a spot. I can’t see Alec getting it over him. Shame they haven’t told him yet. Sucks.

ETA5: And now Derek and Cheryl are pimping the Bachelor Finale. Suddenly, everything looks more like a coordinated effort. ๐Ÿ™‚ ย Sorry to Melissa fans, but Brooke is still on for her screen test today. Me thinks Katrina was right and her announcing with Tom is more of a Bachelor connection.

ETA4: Edyta says she’s in. Maks takes a page from Derek’s book and plays coy.ย  See below.

ETA3: Of course right when I leave, Mark Ballas announces he will be on “the next” season of DWTS. I’m assuming he means this coming one. ๐Ÿ™‚ And he tweets while ice skating with his mom and Derek? Oookay. Boys. ย It’s looking sketchy for Maks ย – could go either way. We have five confirmed men and either the men or women are only going to have five spots.

ETA2: As of 11 minutes ago ๐Ÿ™‚ Louis is in and very, very excited about it. I’m very happy for him too.ย  No word from anyone else, but interestingly enough, Access Hollywood has also become interesting in the on-going professional dancer saga. ๐Ÿ™‚

ETA: Well, it’s six hours after I orignally wrote this and only Karina has popped up to say she doesn’t know. Sheesh. So much for the live blogging idea. Well, it was good practice for next monday when we’ll live blog the celebrity announcement. No need for everyone to suffer through The Bachelor. ๐Ÿ™‚

Well, the powers that be have been extremely good in keeping the celebrities on the down low. I would say that this makes us focus more on the pros than normal, but I don’t think that’s the case. I have a pretty extensive tweet deck setup and the amount of nagging, badgering and begging of the pro dancers for information has really been illuminating. ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s leading to Derek playing games, Mark losing his mind and finally breaking with a “I don’t know!!! (that’s how it sounded to me ๐Ÿ™‚ )” Tony just sends people smilies and phrase which could mean anything. Chelsie is deleting tweets…and some are wisely just staying far away from Twitter altogether. I’m finding it all extremely humorous. ๐Ÿ™‚ On with the show.

Hereโ€™s how it stacks up so far:

The Potential Men:
Damian โ€“ In
Derek โ€“ In
Dmitry โ€“ doesnโ€™t know
Mark- In
Maks โ€“ hasnโ€™t said a word
Tony โ€“ Sort of confirmed
Jonathan โ€“ definitely out
Alec โ€“ hasnโ€™t said a word
Louis โ€“ In

As of 9:30 am Central Time…well, if they are only having six male pros, that kinda puts Alec and Maks (and Dmitry) on the hot seat, because the other men have either confirmed their participation, their non-participation or they “don’t know”. I’m taking Louis’s word that “don’t know” means they’re waiting for contracts to be signed. I’ve put Maks and Alec on the bubble due to a complete LACK of any comment whatsoever. Since I really like Maks a lot, I hope I’m wrong. ๐Ÿ™‚ (Feb 23, 2010 – One spot left and three possible men??)

The Potential Women:
Lacey โ€“ definitely out
Cheryl โ€“ definitely in
Chelsie โ€“ said she was in but deleted the tweets
Edyta โ€“ In
Anna T. โ€“ said she wants to wait until itโ€™s set in stone
Anna D. โ€“ silence (afaik)
Karina โ€“ Out
Kym โ€“ silence
Unknown new female ?

I see no reason to assume they aren’t adding a new female in addition to the new male professional – but that’s a GUESS, not anything I actually know. Again, as of right now, I’m guessing five female pros which means three spots taken (Cheryl, Chelsie and new girl Edyta). Lacey is already out. Since Anna T and Karina have both played either the “don’t know” game or have made comments that imply a good possiblity, then I’m calling Kym and Anna D and Edtya as on the bubble. If there is no new female pro, then I think Kym is safe. Again, just guessing. Sure is looking like the lineup is: Cheryl, Chelsie, Edyta, Karina and Anna T (Heidi – 2-23-10)

Check back – I will be updating!
