Hmmm.... doesn't do much for me either.

I'm hoping that one or two people will grow on me like Lance and Brooke did last season.

I don't know who any of those people are.

I've added a list of who's who to the original post. :)

Shawn Johnson is ADORABLE, and I'm super excited about her.

Nancy O'Dell is just one of those people you just can't get away from...isn't she on like Entertainment Tonight or whatever?

Lil' Kim is pretty annoying, but still, will be fun to see how she does.

The only reason I know David Alan Grier is due to Jumanji, but I love that movie, so...xD

Steve Wozniak...well, let's just say, brilliant technical co-genius behind Apple, good friends with Kathy Griffin, but...he does not look like the dancing type. But that'll be fun.

And I. Love. Jewel!

Anyway. xD I actually know/like more of these people than I usually do with Dancing...I don't really watch, sort of let it pass by on my periphery. But I like the lineup

Nancy O'Dell is on Access Hollywood. Same type of show, different channel. :)

I'm rather interested in how well Lil' Kim and Derek will get along.

Apart from Steve Wozniak (really? A computer geek dancing? [boggles]) I don't even know who those are. Maybe I would if I lived there.

I've added a list of who everyone is to the original post. Yeah, a few of them are people you'd have to live in the U.S. to know.

I'm more excited about the pros this year. I'm very pleasantly surprised to see Julianne back. I loved Dmitry, Lacey and Chelsie when they were on Dancing With the Stars, so getting to see more of them is fabulous.
