By Isobel Moody
DANCING WITH THE STARS – The 24th season of ÒDancing with the StarsÓ will have its season premiere on MONDAY, MARCH 20 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC)
Cast of the upcoming season go from an elderly actress and musician to a long-expected gymnast, with some less predictable contestants in between.
It’s that time of year again. On Wednesday, Good Morning America officially revealed the cast of Dancing with the Stars’ upcoming 24th season. Except, as is becoming the norm, a good deal of the cast was reported beforehand. One contestant indicated all the way back in the summer she’d be in this one, since she hadn’t been able to do the 23rd season.
The pro list, meanwhile, is taking a few losses. Derek Hough has abandoned the show for one run by Jennifer Lopez. Cheryl Burke apparently has better things to do. Jenna Johnson also decided to take the season off, and Allison Holker too is out. But meanwhile, Kym Johnson has decided to have another go, Keo Motsepe is back in, and Peta Murgatroyd is also back from maternity leave. At one point it looked like husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy might stay at home in her stead, but now they’re both participating.
But who among these paring looks like a winner? And who will be eliminated early? Let’s run down each pro and which celebrity they got to dance with, in reverse order of whom the odds favor.
