Gladys Knight, Jack Wagner

During the last season of DWS I wrote my reviews for a site called The Morton Report. This is an example of one of my reviews. If you click in you can read all my reviews of that season's shows.

The formula for choosing "celebrities" for this show is loosely as follows: An athlete-male and female if possible, former big names, A Disney star, some sort of current talk show host, and older dancer, various and sundry others.

We have the Green Bay Packer Donald Driver as the male athlete and Martina Navratilova as the female. We have Gladys Knight for the older celeb dancer. Former "knowns" would include Jaleel White-once known as Erkel, Melissa Gilbert of Little House on the Prarie. Of course there's the Disney channel entry as ABC is owned by Disney doncha know...thus we have Roshon Fegan. For the talk show types we have Sherri Shepherd and Maria Menounos. We then have various and sundry others, sexie guys, Jack Wagner-a soap star, William Levy, described as a "Latin hottie", Katherine Jenkins and Gavin DeGraw.

I'm looking forward to watching Gladys Knight move around that floor. The Disney stars are generally young and tend to move well so keep an eye out for this Roshon Fegan. Beyond this I will have no more reflections until the first show, which will be on 3/19/12-ABC.at 8 pm-a two hour premiere.

Melissa Gilbert, Roshon Fegan

Sherri Shepherd, William Levy
