Alexa would definitely be another of Mark's "type" so I can see that. Is there still a male pro unknown? We don't know Tony's fate yet, do we? If Alexa is indeed on and with Mark Bindi isn't with Derek, she may be with a new pro. I guess she could go to Val but I don't see her with Artem or Keo based on age/height.

Hmm. I guess because of his age? She's like 5'5", I think. Then add in heels...huh. Kristyn Burtt is saying troupe is Alan, Sasha, Lindsay, Jenna, and Haley Erbert who is a contemporary dancer from SYTYCD and was on the Move tour with the Houghs. She also is rumored to be dating Derek but I just saw that on Twitter somewhere. Emma and Keo are pros. Henry is out, so don't know who the 3rd male will be, if any. Val is going off on Twitter about "inside sources" and their validity. Not sure what happened there but I can think of a couple sites he would throw shade at.

Huh, interesting. I'm loving that these names haven't been rumored yet. It's nice to be surprised. Google tells me Witney and Allison are both 5'3" but don't know if that's accurate.

I don't think they know what they're doing. I like Strictly's way of announcing celebs (ALL of them) one by one, having them rehearse and interact with the pros, and then matching them up on live TV. I know DWTS has never used that formula and wouldn't start now but I can't help but wonder if they'd see some successful pairings they might not have thought of on their own. Instead of giving the pros the same type over and over they might find different personalities really click which in turn would translate to better entertainment on the dance floor. They'd still have to factor in age and height but it could produce some popular unlikely pairings. Right now I feel they're trying to find a balance between generating buzz and trying to get the cast finalized. I think they just need to do the full cast and pro reveal on one day. Half-assing just makes things seem disorganized and frustrates fans who are waiting to know the fate of the pros they like.

With regards to the "rules", doesn't she still have to submit to her husband? Like if Josh came to her on Saturday night and wanted sex, would she be able to use the rules as an out?

I'm interested in seeing her! Google says she's 5'1" so she could be another one small enough for Sasha, although based on her age I'd say Mark is likely.

Sadly, she'll probably start putting out more for him because she may think not pleasing him enough is what caused him to stray. I do hope that realistically she stops procreating with him until they can get their marriage back on track if that's what she really wants. I wouldn't be surprised if ultimately Josh is the one to leave, no matter how much Anna tries to make things better.

I'm not seeing twins on that ultrasound but I could hardly recognize parts on my own kids' ultrasounds so who knows. Being young and adjusting to parenthood with one baby is hard enough. Two is definitely a challenge. If it is twins, I hope they're ready for it.

I don't think Scott can stay sober long enough, sadly. If he actually successfully completed rehab I could see him come on with a redemption arc but not now.

I wonder if Bin has enrolled in school this fall to finish his education. Obtaining a Bachelor's degree now before they have too many kids would be the smart thing to do now that he gravy train has come to an end for now.

Not for nothing, but I will be annoyed if Kacy is on and Sasha is not her partner. There very rarely seem to be women short enough to dance with him as pro and the guy deserves another chance.

Well, I guess it was wishful thinking on my part because I don't care for Henry, lol. I hope they have some interesting celebs because I was kind of hoping for some more pro shake-up (good shake-up).

If the rumors are true about Henry's difficulties last season and him distancing himself from DWTS a bit, I wouldn't be surprised to see him out.

I think that would only work for the ones who had free accounts. The credit card billing info is what confirmed a lot of these people, like Josh.

I'm not sure changing profiles would have helped if the hackers had all the original info from when they got into the system. They gave AM a month to shut the site down and when they didn't, then the hackers released the info they had.

Mark, Allison, and Val all seem to be pretty happy on Twitter. I assume they like their partners. Brittany Cherry said she is not returning to DWTS. After her stint on the tour, I thought she'd return, even just in the troupe. Sucks. Leah Remini's IG post about how her family would be upset if Tony is not on that he re-grammed makes me wonder if he's out this season or hasn't heard anything yet. Or could be nothing. It's about time for him to have a break so it shouldn't be a surprise if he's done. I just hope Artem isn't the now default for older ladies as I would like to see him with someone younger and capable.

And now TLC is wondering how much time they have to let pass before they film a series chronicling these pigs and their "repentance."

The guy from the viral toilet pee test video (Sam and Nia on YouTube) who was just in People magazine crying about Christian persecution is on the list, too. Just name and e-mail address, no CC info to in fact confirm it is in fact him. But if it is, this is not a good week for obnoxious reality/Internet Christian "stars." Anna and Nia could have their own series.

Yes, quite frankly, with 38 million users, I think the media would be in search of much bigger names than Josh Duggar. For the most part, the mainstream media had moved on from the scandal, only recently reporting when TLC finally canceled the show. He was pretty much already sunk so there'd be no need for some liberal plot to set him up to sink him further. I will be shocked...SHOCKED if he is the only recognizable name to come out of this. I think there are many, many outlets delving into the lists to see who else they can find, or will be as soon as they make their way onto the regular ol' Internet. Josh may be lucky he was the first one outed if there's anyone else of significance on there, because people will forget him more quickly.

Well, I sure can't wait to hear Ben's sermon on fidelity now.

I can't believe this story hit the same day Jill and Jessa's People cover came out. It's too much. I wonder who's more pissed , Anna or Jessa?

I'll be surprised and sad if Emma isn't brought back.

Did anyone watch? I didn't but jumped on Twitter to see. It doesn't sound like all the pros were revealed? I don't understand why they bother. I know they need to work out the final details with celebs and pairings but if you can't announce everyone, just hold off until the actual cast reveal. Or announce one pro/day on social media in the two weeks leading up to the cast reveal. Hyping it on GMA and not having a full foster is a bit lame and just looks like another chance for TPTB to pimp Val and Derek, to be honest.

Well, I like Karina so if we can't have Kym, I'm glad she's back. I still never managed to warm up to Allison so I was hoping she'd be out but it sounds like she's back. Doesn't seem like too much shake-up on the female side unless Peta, Emma, or Sharna are out. Wonder about the male side. Guess we will find out tomorrow. This is so much less stressful when your favorite is already committed to another version, lol. I would like to see Sasha have another shot as pro. I think he's earned it.

Tom tweeted he signed a multi-year contract extension to host DWTS. Thank God.
