Dancing With The Starts Season 16 Cast

Break out those spray tans, it's almost that time to get back into the ballroom. The cast of Dancing with The Stars for season 16 was announced early Tuesday morning on Good Morning America. Season 16  is the first season since the All-Star edition of DWTS that aired last fall to mediocre ratings. While at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour, Paul Lee, president of ABC Entertainment Group, said, "Turns out people like to see bad dancing as much as they do good dancing."




Season 16 cast has a good variety of celebrities. Some of the notable cast include, Country Music singer, Wynonna Judd and Kellie Pickler and Olympians Dorothy Hamill and Aly Raisman.( Check the Full List Here) However, is DWTS losing it's edge?

As a long time viewer, in my opinion, DWTS has been lacking in casting and in content. In the early days of DWTS, the cast made me want to tune in every week and now I suddenly find myself waiting until it goes up on-line so I can skip the ones I really don't care for. When the All-Star cast was announced, it seemed to be a perfect way to get longtime viewers back to watching however I felt it backfired. I still felt something was missing. Is two-hours too long? Is it because we no longer have the attention spand to sit down a full two-hours and watch because of DVR? For whatever it's worth, DWTS is showing it's age.

DWTS has always been at the top of it's game when it comes to ratings, and has always managed to have viewers come back despite having The Voice as it's top competitor but is it almost time to pull the plug?

We shall find out as the season begins in March.

Dancing With The Starts Season 16 begins March 18 8/7c on ABC.
