Dancing with the Stars: The Season 12 Cast Announced

I hate that I’m going to say this. Hate it. But I am seriously underwhelmed by this season’s DWTS cast.

While I at least know who a majority of the celebrity dancers are this time around, I don’t feel like there’s anyone that an audience can seriously root for, save for maybe Kirstie Alley.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still tune in, and I’ll still develop a love affair with one of the dancers and root for them and defend every heel-toe and Paso Doble. But after last season, I feel like ABC could have done a bit better job. Also, do we think Derek Hough is kicking himself for taking this season off, considering he definitely would have been paired with Petra Nemcova?

Here is the cast, in order of fame:

Wisconsin Man Upset By Bristol Palin’s Dancing, Reacts Inappropriately

Dane County Sheriff's Office

So, Steven Cowan and I both agree that Bristol Palin should no longer be gracing our television sets every Monday and Tuesday night on Dancing with the Stars. I, however, have not taken my hostility out in such a psychotic/awesome way.

According to The Smoking Gun, “Cowan, 66, allegedly became so enraged by Palin’s success that he actually fired a shotgun round into his television, triggering a 15-hour standoff with Wisconsin cops.” I’m taking a look at his mug shot right now. Should we be surprised by this? I’m just sayin’.

The police report states that while Bristol was performing “Cowan jumped up and swore, saying something to the effect of, ‘The fucking politics.’ Steven was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on this particular show when Steven did not think that she was a good dancer.” TSG reports that Cowan’s wife called police after her husband shot the television. He is said to have been drinking.

If Bristol Makes it Through Tonight’s DWTS Elimination, Sarah Palin Will Be Our Next President

Isn’t America just one big reality competition anyway?

Yes, I’m projecting that, should Bristol Palin’s unfathomable rise through the TV landscape continue after tonight, her mother, Sarah Palin, will be elected president in 2012. And in case you thought I’d just throw that statement out there with nothing to back it up (which I do on occasion), here are my reasons:

1. Conservative/Christian voters: After 8 weeks of dancing (and countless years watching the show), I’m fairly certain that Bristol’s fanbase is everyone in Alaska (minus maybe Levi Johnston) and all registered Republicans. Should she move through to next week and say, Kurt Warner gets the boot, she will probably pick up the Christian sect, which might just make her unstoppable. Sound like any Tina Fey look-alikes we know? On top of that, I’m sure there’s some people out there that vote for Bristol in the hopes that she’ll fall flat on her face, and some fun can be made at her expense. Again, the same could probably be said for her mother.
