Every year I get excited to hear the new Dancing With the Stars lineup, and yet every year, I respond with an even bigger “Who?!” after it’s revealed.
This year E! Online asked a few people about their thoughts on each of the “Star” cast members. The answers are quite hysterical. Well known celebs or not, the show will probably still be fabulous as always. Will you be watching this season?
Lea Thompson
DWTS Superfan: Was that the girl who did Caroline in the City?
Foreign Businessman: Victoria’s Secret model?
5-Year-Old: Goes to the bathroom a lot.
Entertainment Reporter: Caroline in the City!
Lawyer: Had to Google…I obviously knew who she was the minute I saw her face. I dig it.
Midwestern Nurse: I think she’s an actress. I think she’s from one of those broadway shows. An FBI agent on USA or something.
Tommy Chong
DWTS Superfan: From Cheech and Chong?
Foreign Businessman: Pro golfer.
5-Year-Old: He is a zookeeper.
Entertainment Reporter: One half of Cheech and Chong?
Lawyer: No Cheech? It’s that Chong, right?
Midwestern Nurse: Something to do with karate? Or gymnastics?
Randy Couture
DWTS Superfan: Ha! Is he related to Juicy?
Foreign Businessman: No idea.

Entertainment Reporter: Did you mean Travis? Either way I don’t know.
Lawyer: You’re better than this, Tavis.

Antonio Sabato Jr.
DWTS Superfan: He’s gotta be an athlete. Is he? The name sounds familiar.
