Can you read the chart?  I can't find a program that makes it bigger like those in the past.  The chart still needs a bit of work, but wanted to give it a trial run before the game.  I wish my old upload program worked. 

Afternoon to all.  Well after much wait and anticipation the new season starts tomorrow night.  YAY  I think this may prove to be an interesting year I just hope things aren't to far off the normal path.  I know it is scaled down set wise and extra dancers due to the virus.  I guess it will be like it was in the first few seasons.

As you see Luv had agreed to be our "game master" again this season.  I hope the rest of the sisters will pop in to say HI or even watch with us.

Going to see if there is anything interesting to post.

More Derek Hough Press for DWTS Season 29Cross posting from PureDerekHough….the third video has the most discussion about what is going to happen on the show this season, although still not alot.Derek is probably right about sitting far from Bruno. Although Derek can get pretty wild as well.  Thanks to Dee for the heads up on this one.




Here’s a little something from ET. His non-answer to the WOD question is interesting. He didn’t apparently have to ask permission…but there is probably something in his contract with NBC that lets him do it, OR his contract has expired and has to be renewed when WOD is picked up for season 5. Which I assume it will be, eventually. But when, with COVID?

Below is the press release for the first week of Dancing With The Stars Season 29. Take note of the new voting information. Geez, I wish they’d tell us on the partnerships already?


ABC’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Returns on Sept. 14 With a Cast of 15 Celebrities Ready to Compete for the Coveted Mirrorball Trophy



SEASON PREMIERE
ABC’S ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS’ RETURNS ON SEPT. 14
WITH A CAST OF 15 CELEBRITIES READY TO COMPETE FOR THE COVETED MIRRORBALL TROPHY



Celebrity and Professional Dancer Pairings to Be Revealed During Broadcast
Reveal of Brand-New Set and Judges Desk



Supermodel and Businesswoman Tyra Banks to Host 2020 Season



“2020 Premiere” – “Dancing with the Stars” is back and better than ever with a new, well-known and energetic cast of 15 celebrities who are ready to add some glitzy bling to their wardrobe and break in their dancing shoes. The competition begins with a two-hour season premiere, live, MONDAY, SEPT. 14 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.



“Dancing with the Stars” is the hit series in which celebrities perform choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts. The series, hosted by supermodel and businesswoman Tyra Banks, returns to the ballroom with a lineup of celebrities, including a GRAMMY® winner, a Bachelorette, a big-cat lover-turned-reality TV star and a pro-football legend, to name a few. The series averaged 9.1 million total viewers last season after 35 days of viewing across linear and digital platforms.



Watch episodes on demand and on Hulu the day following their premieres.



Throughout the first evening, the celebrity and pro duos will perform the time-honored dances that include the Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Jive, Salsa or Tango.



For the show’s first broadcast of the season, there will not be a viewing audience vote, and only the judges will score the routines. Those scores will carry over and be combined with judges’ scores from week two, which also marks the first weekly live viewing audience vote of the season (via abc.com and SMS/text) – and the first elimination. The live votes will occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EDT/CDT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window).



Moving forward with each subsequent episode, the live vote combined with the judges’ scores will be revealed during the broadcast.



The celebrity cast and professional dancers are listed below.
