first two celebrities revealed


Alix Earle - Social Media Influencer, TikTokker, and from the very wealthy Earle family


Robert Irwin - TV Personality, son of the late Steve Irwin, following into the footsteps of his sister Bindi (whom won this show too btw)

[Nicky91]

Alix is our controversial casting i see


she's quite a racist apparently, so i wonder how this will resonate with the casual viewers but at least she ain't a criminal, like Anna on last years series

[Nicky91]

me manifesting Denis O'Hare, and Rondell Sheridan to be also on the line up hopefully

[Nicky91]

Rondell would make sense for him to do the show this year, after Reginald VelJohnsen's lowkey success as a audience favourite dad dancer


and in light of That's so Raven revival, would make sense to have patriarch Victor Baxter on this show (also when its co-broadcast by Disney+)

Starting off strong with the casting i see that show has died a death in the worst way. 2009/2010 had some of the best casting imo

last year had good signings, in Eric Roberts, Reginald VelJohnsen, Tori Spelling though


pretty sure this year will also have some decently big names



out of these first two, i can see Robert going far, and idk about Alix (the controversy can work both ways, either a long run a la Sean Spicer, or a early exit like Anna last year)

[Nicky91]

and saying this show having died is overreacting much


since they still manage to attract stars with big fanbases - Dwight Howard last year was also quite a big name sports signing



as for Joey Graziadei last year, well it is a common fact that Bachelor/Bachelorette stars are household names of today's tv seasons



Season 32 even had Mira Sorvino, Alyson Hannigan, and Brady Bunch's Barry Williams, quite popular music star Jason Mraz



and that season before that, Charli D'Amelio (you can hate her, but she did make it to 100 million tiktok followers) Cheryl Ladd, Jordin Sparks, Wayne Brady in one series, Wayne is like a top entertainer in the US, to be compared to the likes of Michael McIntyre i guess for the game shows

[Nicky91]

also Alfonso Ribeiro & Julianne Hough as hosting duo, receives far more praise than the era with Tyra as host (whom made it too much about herself)

[Nicky91]

two more names


two secret lives of mormon wives stars

- Jen Affleck
- Whitney Leavitt


yes that is a very trending reality show currently on Disney+/Hulu, and yes the last name, her husband Zac is a cousin of that popular hollywood actor Ben Affleck

i've seen them more recently in Vanderpump Villa season 2



so far the first 4 castings are reality stars then, but as we all know, there'll some sports stars, some acting stars, maybe a music name thrown in there too


out of these 4, i like Robert Irwin the most, and the least Alix (No to Racist elitists please)

[Nicky91]

we'll know the full line up and pairings on September 3rd



and streets are saying Karina Smirnoff might be back (maybe not with a celeb but in the dance troupe instead)

[Nicky91]

streets are saying Corey Feldman might take part

yup Corey is in, he has Jenna as his dance partner



not Andy Richter doing this show glad he has Emma, she is perfect with duffers



Jordan Chiles should be no.1 contender i think but no obvious winner here



Alix is lucky to have Val, although the popularity of the chmerkovskiy is also slowly wearing off so idk

[Nicky91]

Scott Hoying is from Pentatonix, can't believe he is actually in
