They're doing this one at a time, to build excitement I guess. So far it's Bindi Irwin (the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's daughter), Victor Espinoza (Triple Crown Winner American Pharoah's jockey), and Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys singer).

I love DWTS! During the season, we have 2 TVs in the living room. I watch DWTS on the little, old, analog portable with rabbit ears antennae and earplugs, and Rocky watches The Voice on the big set. During commercials and lulls, I sneak peeks at The Voice. I enjoy that show, too!

When I hear about new contestants, I'll post them.

Chaka Khan, music icon.

Husband and wife Alexa Penavega (actress - Spy Kids movie series, Nashville TV series) and Carlos Penavega (Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush).

Head Judge Len Goodman has left the show.

I have watched the show since it began. I loved Len and will miss him. Not sure the show will be as good without him. He was a really good judge and always judged the dancing.

Having competed in ballroom dance myself many years ago, I could always guess the score from Len before it was announced.

Most of the competitors are unknown to me so I was always more interested in the dancing ability than the popularity of the "star".

I am lucky if I know of at least ONE of the "stars" each season.

I think the travel between England and the US was getting to him.

I am more interested in what pros will return each season than which "stars" will be on the show. I don't know most of the stars anyway.

If Tony comes back, I hope he will get a good "star".

Of course, Derrick is my favorite of the male pros. He sure can dance. And his choreography is outstanding.

Does anyone think Max will ever return? I doubt it but both he and his brother are great dancers, too.

Andy Grammer (singer). Was supposed to dance with Peta Murgatroyd, who is injured and out for this 21st season.

Currently rumored to be competing...Paula Deen (TV chef), Nick Viall (The Bachelor/Bachelorette)

Bindi Irwin is partnered with Derek Hough.

"Len will not be returning as a judge this season on Dancing With the Stars due to his schedule as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing in the U.K. and the birth of his new grandson," Wade said. "He still might be involved in the season at some capacity, but we will have to wait and see. We are planning on having great guest judges for some shows to join Bruno [Tonioli], Carrie Ann [Inaba], and Julianne [Hough], and I'm sure we will see Len in the ballroom again soon."
