Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Cast

The season 11 cast of Dancing With the Stars has been revealed, and I have to say, I’m not all that excited about it. The cast includes:
David Hasselhoff (Actor)
Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino (Reality TV personality)
Kurt Warner (Former NFL Quarterback)
Michael Bolton (Singer)
Brandy (Singer)
Florence Henderson (Actress)
Bristol Palin (Sarah Palin’s daughter)
Jennifer Grey (Actress)
Audrina Patrdige (Reality TV personality)
Rick Fox (Former LA Laker)
Maragaret Cho (Comedienne)
Kyle Massey (Actor)

I mean, two reality TV “stars” and a girl who I couldn’t even come up with a title for, not even ‘entertainer’ or fill in the blanks ‘personality.’ No, I had to say Sarah Palin’s daughter. And David Hasselfhoff? Groan. The only reason I will watch this season is because of Kurt Warner, and if he’s eliminated the first week I will give up. I live in Iowa and am a big NFL fan, and you can’t help but love Kurt Warner. So I will be rooting for Kurt- who will you be cheering for? Is there anyone who made the cut that you are really unenthused about seeing on your TV screen?
