I just realized Jenn was a contestant on Joey's season of The Bachelor? lol.  do we know if they ended on good terms?

 

 

Lmao yeah I was gonna comment on this when I comment on the whole cast later. :haha: But yeah, as far as I know, it was a respectful breakup (she placed 5th on his season) and they are on good terms as far as I know. :yes:

Okay I wanted to take some time to gather all and post my thoughts on the cast so will finally do so now!


Some pre-show thoughts:


Anna Delvey & Ezra Sosa: I STILL CAN'T @ Anna's casting. :dead: I don't know much about her or didn't really pay much attention to her story but I did hear about it in passing. She's giving us "go girl give us nothing" in her interviews and I expect the same with her dancing. I don't see her lasting long or having the public vote on her side but I am interested in how she will do. 


Brooks Nader & Gleb Savchenko: Brooks is definitely hot and gorgeous. :wub: Gleb finally gets the young hot partner he's been wanting. Lmaoo we all know all of their dances will be filth. I hope we get a Rumba and/or Argentine Tango out of them. Brooks made me sound hopeful for her when she mentioned having dance experience in high school. I don't see them lasting long but hoping they can surprise with some good dances. 


Chandler Kinney & Brandon Armstrong: I don't know much about Chandler... she's one of those celebs where I may have seen them on entertainment shows/or clips of her respective shows or movies without realizing who she is. Bu she's the big ringer of the cast, so I predict she'll be the IDF It Girl. She's one of the ones I'm most looking forward to seeing. I expect her to be the one to bring it in both ballroom, Latin and also the specialty dances and expecting her to be the best dancer of the cast too. She should be finale bound on paper. But with Brandon, I'm worried. She could either be a finalist or robbed halfway through the season. I'm not sure where to call it with her but hoping she goes far. And if she is a halfway boot, I may have to give up officially on Brandon. :broken: 
    

Danny Amendola & Witney Carson: haha as a former New England Patriot, I have to root for Danny. :haha: It's funny because he did Special Forces: World's Toughest Test last year which definitely seems much more his kind of show. I did really like him on there but I could never picture him on DWTS but here we are. :dead: I can't really imagine or picture him as a dancer. But he's in good hands with Witney. She hasn't had a football player in so long but I am curious to see what she can do with Danny. 


Dwight Howard & Daniella Karagach: It's ironic to me how both Danny and Dwight are doing the same season of DWTS as he also did Special Forces: World's Toughest Test last year with Danny too. :haha: I was moreso hot and cold with him on that show, but had moments on not liking him there. Even with their huge height difference, Daniella did a great job with Iman, so why can't she do the same with Dwight? He showed off a fun and charming personality on the cast reveal, so hopefully he's up for a great experience. I can see him being a lot of fun even though I don't expect him to be a great technical dancer. 


Eric Roberts & Britt Stewart: Well as everyone said "ooof, poor Brit." Well I didn't really recognize Eric by name but I have seen him in a number of movies without realizing his name. He does seem the least hopeful of all of the men, and maybe of the whole cast in general. If he can surprise and produce some nice ballroom dances, I'll be here for that. But I expect his Latin dances to be trainwreck. Hopefully he doesn't last too long. I wouldn't be mad if he's a first boot though I would hate that for Britt.


Ilona Maher & Alan Bersten: Ah Ilona's casting is a bit of a surprise. I remember her name being mentioned of people wanting to see do DWTS on here, but I didn't really think it would actually happen. So it's really cool to see that happen. 😮 Ilona is such a unique and fresh casting as we've never had a female rugby player here. I don't see her being too great of a dancer, at least at the start, but I think she'll have a lovable and endearing personality that the audience will love that can get her far. 


Jenn Tran & Sasha Farber: Of the three Bachelor Nation leads this past year, I didn't think Jenn had much of a chance for doing DWTS as I felt she probably had the least buzz amongst them. Then that Bachelorette finale happened, made me change my mind and hope she would get a spot on the show and woww it happened! :omg: I do really like/love Jenn and enjoyed her on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I have no idea what to make of or think of her as a dancer but I am hopeful she can continue the trend of strong Bachelorette dancers. She did mention taking a ballroom dance class in college in her GMA interiew, so I am hopeful for her. Now let's hope Sasha steps it up with his choreo and do Jenn justice. I feel like she could have a S8 Melissa Rycroft journey - of going from heartbreak on national TV to hopefully slaying it on DWTS. 


Joey Graziadei & Jenna Johnson: Joey being cast for DWTS does not surprise me and it was what I was expected. And honestly, I'm happy with it. Joey has been one of the most likable Bachelor leads in years. I really enjoyed him on both seasons of The Bachelorette and his own The Bachelor season. It's also funny how Jenna has another Joe/y from Bachelor Nation too. I'm hoping Joey can do and be decent on here. I'm not sure how well he'll do but hopefully he can produce some nice dances. I do feel hopeful he can go at least halfway through to the season. It's also funny seeing Joey & Jenn compete against each other as technically they are "Exes" but I am sure they are on good terms with each other. But kinda excited to see their dynamic here. 


Phaedra Parks & Valentin Chmerkovskiy: Oh hahaha I can not believe the Phaedra rumors came true. 😮 Phaedra is so fun, hilarious and she cracks me up so much. It's nice to see Val having an older and different type of partner this time around. Dancing-wise, I don't have too much high hopes. She could be decent or maybe not too good. But I think she'll be a fun and interesting performer to watch. I also can't predict how long she'll last but hopefully she can last a few weeks. 


Reginald VelJohnson & Emma Slater: haha Reginald was one of those celebs whose name on paper I didn't recognize. But as soon as I read he played "Carl Winslow," I knew exactly who he was. :haha: I never expected to have another Family Matters alum but I am here for it. Of the two older men of this cast, I do think Reginald is more hopeful. I'm not expecting great dancing from him. But I expect him and Emma to have a really cute, fun and lovable partnership. I could see that partnership making them last longer than expected. Maybe not Barry Williams long, but I think he can last longer than 3 weeks. Though if he can turn out to be a Barry type dancer, I'll be happy with that. 


Stephen Nedoroscik & Rylee Arnold:  And the one we've know that has been cast all along, Stephen! Ah Stephen has become such a national treasure over the last month or so. I can see him continuing that here on DWTS. I think Stephen is a great and more fitting partner for Rylee. I can see them being youtfhul, fun, adorable and a rootable couple and they are well perfectly matched, imo. Stephen says he has no dance experience which makes me worried for him. I don't expect him to be great at the start but I do expect him to be a journey type contestant that can really grow as the season progresses. I can see him nailing the ballroom styles. I worry for him with Latin as I can see that being moreso hit or miss from him. But I think him being a contestant with some faults/obstacles to overcome can work in his favor than a contestant that nails everything. I'm also excited to see what Rylee can do with Stephen. He should be finals bound regardless. 


Tori Spelling & Pasha Pashkov: I can't believe it took THIS long for Tori Spelling to do this show but it's about time. :dead: Hmmm I don't know, I don't have the highest hopes for Tori and think this could be a letdown season for Pasha after his great season with Ariana. But I think she could have some nice decent dances, moreso in the ballroom field. But I fear she could be quite a nervous type of performer. I don't know why but I feel like I could see maybe a Selma Blair type run from her, though maybe weaker?

Obviously @*Amanda usually runs the weekly rank the pairs thread, but since she's MIA I could run it unless anyone feels strongly they'd like to do so.

I'm good with you running the ranking pairs game if you choose to do so, as you do a great job with the CBS Reality shows rankings. :yes:
