According to Hollywood Hills, the following celebrities return for the season 15 competition of “Dancing with the Stars.” A surprising twist will follow in addition to the names revealed for the show — three past contestants will be part of a fan voting decision. The three candidates to choose from are Sabrina Bryan, Carson Kressley and Kyle Massey. Which one of them would you like to see on the show? Fans can vote for their celebrity of choice up to five times a day at ABC.com until August 24. The final winner will be announced on the show when it airs in September.
“Dancing with the Stars” All-Star cast:
- Pamela Anderson
- Kirstie Alley
- Helio Castroneves
- Joey Fatone
- Drew Lachey
- Shawn Johnson
- Gilles Marini
- Kelly Monaco
- Apolo Anton Ohno
- Bristol Palin
- Melissa Rycroft
- Emmitt Smith
Going from the list here, the show has the sexiest star with Pamela, the most controversial with Bristol, the most athletic with several sports stars, and the winners from previous seasons of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Since ABC announced it was going to host an all-stars special, rumors lit up the internet over who would be the best contestants to bring back. Kate Gosselin was just as polarizing as she was popular, but she didn’t make the cut. Kirstie Alley was one of the favorites to bring back and her return to the dance floor will be inspiring to faithful fans who admired her determination, hard work, and weight loss throughout the show when she partnered with pro dancer, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
“Dancing” pro and season 13 winner, Karina Smirnoff, spoke with People magazine and shared her thoughts on which contestants will perform the best in season 15.
“The women are very strong, but the male celebrity guests are a little bit stronger overall,” Smirnoff said. “I mean, we have an Olympian male guest – Apolo Anton Ohno. I’m sure he’ll go very far.”
This 2012 cast for season 15 will no doubt bring in good ratings with some of the most-talked about stars.
“Dancing with the Stars” All-Stars premieres Monday, September 24 at 8 p.m., ET/PT on ABC.
