Alfonso can do the Carleton dance exactly once and then no more. Once might be pushing it. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to watching him.
Also pretty excited about Lea Thompson. She hasn't been a professional dancer for like 30 years, so I don't think anyone can claim ringer for her.
I am hopeful for Randy Couture. I actually had him on my wish list for a long time. I would think an MMA fighter would have the skills for dancing, but I recall that Chuck Lidell was pretty bad. (That other professional wrestler--Chris something?--I thought was good and eliminated before his time.)
I don't want to hate on a 17-year-old, but Sadie showing up on DWTS just feels so calculated. The Robertson clan has gotten some heat lately, and this likely is supposed to bring the awshucks back to their public persona.
Edited to add:
Betsey Johnson is hardly obscure. She's been a hugely influential fashion designer since, when?, late '60s/'70s? She may very well be out first because of age and not being able to dance, but I would put her as one of the more well-known members of the cast.
