Countdown...

Remember my post from last year about Dancing with the Stars?

Well, after another long season and Brooke Burke winning with the choreography of Derek Hough, I couldn't wait for the spring season to start again! And now, my countdown has started yet one more time. With the season starting March 9th, I have precisely 10 days to go.

This year, we have the following participants: Lil' Kim with Derek Hough; Steve-O with Lacey Schwimmer; Nancy O'Dell with Tony Dovolani; Lawrence Taylor with Edyta Sliwinska; Shawn Johnson (OMG- I know!!) with Mark Ballas; Chuck Wicks with Julianne Hough; Gilles Marini with Cheryl Burke; Denise Richards with Maksim Chmerkovskyi; Steve Wozniak with Karina Smirnoff; Belinda Carlisle with Jonathan Roberts; David Alan Grier with Kym Johnson; Ty Murray with Chelsie Hightower; and last but not least: Jewel with Dmitry Chaplin.

What do these stars do for a living? Here you have it! Lil' Kim is a female rapper, singer, and actress. Steve-O is a reality star. Nancy O'Dell is an anchor for Access Hollywood. Lawrence Taylor is a football legend. Shawn Johnson (she's the one everybody loves... ) is a Beijing 2008 Olympic gold medalist for gymnastics. Chuck Wicks is a country singer. Gilles Marini is an actor, along with Denise Richards and David Alan Grier. Steve Wozniak is the apple co-founder and a philanthropist. Ty Murray is a rodeo athlete and Jewel is a singer-songwriter.

What makes this interesting this season is that there are 3 couples competing!! Julianne Hough is partnered with her boyfriend Chuck Wicks, while Maksim Chmerkovskyi is engaged to Karina Smirnoff. Jewel and Ty Myrray are husband and wife, as well. The 3 judges are once again Len Goodman the head judge, along with Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba. The hosts are also once again Samantha Harris and Tom Bergeron. The competitivity is great and the dances and problems are awesome, too. I cannot describe to you how impatient I am, it's beyond words.

The season is starting on ABC March 9th at 8/7 central. For more information visit abc.go.com and click on the DWTS icon. I will be happily cheering away for Shawn Johnson out of the females and Chuck Wicks from the males. Now, coming to an end, as usual, I have 1 last thing.

Go... DWTS!!
