It’s that time again folks! You know what I mean, in just a little while we’ll learn what celebrities have signed on to compete in the ballroom for that infamous Mirror Ball Trophy. The season 16 Dancing with the Stars cast will be revealed live on Tuesday morning exclusively on Good Morning America between the hours of 7-9:00am. The show itself returns to ABC prime time on Monday, March 18th with an exciting two-hour season premiere.
As usual there have been some rumblings about cast members in the last few days leading up to the huge announcement. I can tell you that Lindsay Arnold, a ballroom whiz from Orem, Utah is joining DWTS as a brand new professional. So You Think You Can Dance fans will remember Lindsay from last season where she finished in the top five.
A few of the celebs that we’ve heard may officially be announced include Olympian Aly Raisman, Kellie Pickler, Wynonna Judd, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Lisa Vanderpump, Andy Dick and celebrity chef Bobby Flay. I tend to think that this list looks pretty realistic. ABC usually does leak a partial list to get the fans pumped up and sure to tune in for the rest of the list. There’s always a former Olympian and a football player on that list too.
