irehtman · 09-06-2014, 07:53 AM

Will there by a 20th season airing in spring 2015?

Will Lindsay Arnold return to professional partnering by then?

It'll be hysterical if Alfonso did the Carlton. LOL!! Lea was a ballerina so I know she'll do good. Tommy I can't wait to see.

LeeBlue · 09-10-2014, 10:09 AM

The producers seem to be trying to appeal to everyone??

Alfonso Ribeiro, Lea Thompson and Lolo Jones are the only ones I know.

However, Tommy Chong and Betsey Johnson should be fun to watch!
