The contestants for the 18th season of Dancing With The Stars has been announced and as usual it’s a cornucopia of who’s that and oh, I remember them. Billy Dee Williams? Sean Avery? Yep, they’re bringing out the big guns this season. My personal highlights are Danica McKellar (who to people under a certain age will be one of those “who’s that” people) and Candace Cameron Bure (ditto). Diana Nyad should dominate for the senior set while Cody Simpson will bring in the teen girl viewership.
