DWTS - Season 16 - Spoilers/Speculation - Discussion

Hard to imagine Aly/Mark not having a good chance at the finals. Since the ratings were down I am curious to see if audience really prefers the non allstars.

There's a good variety to the cast which can appeal to different demos so I think this season will get really good ratings and I don't think it will compete with The Voice this time will it?

I expect to see Aly & Mark in the finals.

Cute name. I wish Henry could be a pro this time. Almost more interested to see the new pros than the stars.

I love their team name lol. I wanted to see Henry as a pro too! Oh well, hopefully next season. I'm also interested in the new pros and seeing how well they'll do and what kind of choreo they come up with. I really like Sharna so I'll be happy to see her as a competing pro even though she's stuck with Andy. I'm oddly curious to see what she comes up with for Andy. lol

Gleb I hope does better choreo than what I saw from his DWTS Australia stint. I thought his Foxtrot on that was really bland and unmemorable, and the costuming he gave his partner for the Cha Cha was horrible.

I think some teams did a little bit of rehearsal (like an hour or two) when they first met but it sounds like the first official rehearsal day started on Thursday. Wednesday the pros were all filming a music video with Pitbull.

Rehearsals and tweets heat up on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Some Teams have already come up with their new team names, like Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess (Team Shandy), Wyonna Judd and Tony Dovolani (TeamToWyn), Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold (Team Vicsay), and Mark Ballas and Aly Raisman (Team Rais-N-Ball). To keep fans up-to-date with the latest “DWTS” news, the new cast and the pros are posting regular Tweets. Below are a few from Feb. 28 and 29.
