If someone gets an official photo, please post...I recognize barely half the names on this year's roster...WTF ABC?

They've all either won, or competed in past seasons... it's not like they've got a bunch of unknowns.

I don't think there's an official full cast picture yet. But there's a partial cast photo from the morning they
announced the cast:


back row:
Drew Lachey, hosts Tom Bergeron & Brooke Burke, Helio Castroneves, and Gilles Marini.
front row:
Pam Anderson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Rycroft, and Bristol Palin.

( missing are Kirstie Alley, Shawn Johnson, Apolo Ohno, Emmitt Smith, and Joey Fatone. )

this list doesn't show the wild card contestant and their pro partner TBD by the public..

It was announced that Sabrina Bryan of The Cheetah Girls won the viewer's choice poll for the final celebrity spot, beating out Kyle Massey and Carson Kressley. YAY!

Anybody catch Bristol shaking what her mama gave her?

Whew...I guess..?
