Can Dancing With the Stars get its Groove Back?

While we love those spray tans, sequence outfits and that mirror ball trophy, can you still be enough for us? Season 17 of Dancing With The Stars is about to commence ,and while the past couple of seasons of been lackluster, we find that even now there is still a whole lotta buzz about the show.

This season for the first time EVER in the series history, DWTS returns on Mondays, with the Results show being on the same night as the performances, Ratings have significantly fallen in the past, due to it's fierce competitor "The Voice" but, is this season's cast big enough to draw back longtime viewers and new ones?



Let's Size up the cast:

Blast from the Past, Bill Nye, Stacy Karosi and "OH I'M SO EXCITED" Jessie Spano
Hello 90s! If you loved watching Television in the 90s this season is for you. Leah Remini and Elizabeth Berkley (we haven't forgotten about Showgirls) are about to give us a preview of a Saved by the Bell Reunion (YES). I say Elizabeth has what it takes to bring some stiff competition. However with Leah partnered up with Tony, I say "It's On". Switching gears to Bill Nye the science guy. He was able to provide entertainment in our classrooms and i can defiantly see him bringing the quirks to live television! This is going to be fun and quirky.



Reality TV Stars: Snooki and Jack Osborne
I am not going to lie, This actually makes me excited! Kelly Osborn's run on DWTS was fantastic, can her brother live up to high expectations. Snooki, you never fail to amaze me, From your drunken nights on the Shore to motherhood, I am proud of you for growing up. Will she be better than The Situation?

Hello Young Viewers!
What wouldn't be DWTS if they weren't trying to get that 18-35 demo. Enter Corbin Bleu, Brant Daugherty of "Pretty Little Liars, and Glee's Amber Riley. Don't really know much about PLL star and  
his experience however , Bleu and Riley have been on musical shows/movies, so I wouldn't be surprised 
if they end up in the top 5.

Inspiration for us all
Valerie Harper captured America's hearts with her portrayal of Rhoda on the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" and after battling a life-threatening cancer she is ready to bring inspiration to us on the dance floor. This one makes me very excited to see and to see how therapeutic dancing can be for all. I hope she makes it into the top 5.

Iffy Iffy
Singer Christina Millian comedian Bill Engvall, and NFL star Keyshawn Johnson. The question is will 
those 3 have a big enough fan base to pull them into the next round?

Which dancers are you excited for?  Do you still even want to watch? 

Dancing With the Stars Season 17 kicks of Monday September 16 at 8 p.m ET/ 7 p.m CT on ABC
