Dancing With the Stars is about to return to ABC for the fall 2010 season, and they are bringing along a host of rumors about who might be in the new cast. ABC is choosing to neither confirm nor deny any of those rumors at this time, but it is mostly because they have a nice special planned for viewers of their Monday night lineup.
Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Cast Announcement
The official announcement of who will be in the Dancing With the Stars season 11 cast is going to come on the night of Monday, August 30, 2010. During a commercial break on ABC’s reality competition show Bachelor Pad, the hosts of Dancing With the Stars are going to present the new cast to viewers.
According to ABC’s website, the announcement will come during 8 p.m. PST/EST show, but that could mean anytime during the two hour episode. It’s a unique way of advertising one show through an episode of another, but it is also something that ABC has become accustomed to doing with any major television announcement.
Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Season Premiere
The season premiere of Dancing With the Stars is going to be on Monday, September 20, in what will be a two hour opening to the season. The Dancing With the Stars results show will then be shown at 9 p.m. on Tuesday’s, where a new couple will be sent home each week. They are putting the show at 9 p.m. so that it can draw viewers to two new dramas around it. The 8 p.m. time slot will now have No Ordinary Family (starring Michael Chiklis) and the 10 p.m. time slot will be the new police drama Detroit 1-8-7.
Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Cast Rumors
There have been quite a few rumors floating around the internet about who might appear in the 11th season of the show, but there are zero rumors that have been confirmed. Some of the names include actor David Hasselhoff, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin, former Dallas Cowboy Troy Aikman, and Jersey Shore star Mike Sorrentino, better known as ‘The Situation.’
There have even been rumors that Jon Gosselin could appear in the cast or that Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin’s ex-fiance) might join to create more drama. Don’t trust any of the rumors until the confirmation comes from ABC on Monday, because while some of them might be true, others could have been just created to distract people from the new season.
