Season 20 Cast: My Views

So, almost the entire cast has been announced for season 20 of Dancing With Stars, and the contestants are, as always, varied from different audiences. So, here are my views of the season 20 cast!

Redfoo and Emma Slater
Emma has had some partners in the past that weren't the best, but made them fun to watch. I am glad that Emma has finally been paired with a person that is not necessarily incapable of certain movements, but she has a partner that is a total wild card. As many know, Redfoo was a guest judge in season 18, and gave very high scores. Although many people did not like the scores very much, it can be said that he was very entertaining. I hope Redfoo makes me laugh (as he did as a judge), and bring out something that has never been on the show before, This couple seems like a great match!

Willow Shields and Mark Ballas
I am very surprised that a fourteen-year-old is on the show, but I love how DWTS is changing things up a bit. Willow is a great actress, and I think that this will help her a lot on the dance floor.  Her awesome acting and Mark's amazing choreography will sure make for a great a show on March 16. Mark Ballas works well with younger celebrities, and I think that this a smart pairing.

Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess
I did not know who Noah was before the GMA announcement, and I am sure I am not alone on this one. However, this person is incredible. I am very interested to see how Sharna and Noah work together to make choreography of their own. Sharna has always put a lot of content in her dances, and I want to see how she changes some of the steps to make it work for Noah. I am very excited for this duo!

Suzanne Somers and Tony Dovolani
First of all, I loved Suzanne on Three's Company. I am very curious to see how she dances because I see her as actress, rather than a dancer. I know that Tony is creative when it comes to "older" contestants, but I think that Suzanne is capable of anything he throws at her. From the GMA announcement alone, I know that she is in this to win it, and I like that about her. Tony and Suzanne seem very happy working with each other.

Mystery Contestant and Witney Carson
As we can all tell by the not-so-subtle hints, Witney's partner is probably from the show The Bachelor. I have read speculations about Chris Soules being her partner, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Witney is a phenomenal dancer, and I love how she choreographs with her partners in mind. I also love the fact that Witney has been getting different "types " of people as her partner in the previous seasons. From a young singer, to a dance machine, to a guy who all the ladies love (probably), I think that Witney will prove herself once again.

Patti LaBelle and Artem Chigvintsev
Patti was another person that I haven't really heard of before. All I know is that she looks great for her age! She seems so sweet as well. It is obvious that Artem will bring out the best in her, and it seems like they have fun together from their facial expressions and reactions. Artem likes to create "safe" choreography, so I think that will help Patti's progress in the long run. I hope this couple has as much fun as I think they are having!

Michael Sam and Peta Murgatroyd
Of course, Michael appears to be a very open person. This can really help him in this competition because the audience likes to connect with the contestants. Also, Peta's major popularity, especially after last season, will help bring in some votes as well. I know that athletes on this show usually do either really good or really bad, but I predict that, with the help of Peta, Michael will be a great performer!

Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough
Well, well, well. Derek is back after all! As Nastia said, I don't think that she could have a better professional partner. For some reason, I just picture this duo as being a "true dance match". I wonder how Nastia will do because, although she is a medal-winning gymnast, she has never done ballroom dancing before. She is most likely going to be able to do whatever Derek throws at her, but you never know,

Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson
I'm really glad that Kym is back, and I am content with the fact that Robert is her celebrity partner this season. Robert seems to be a wild card to me. Since Kym left the American show for a while, I don't know if her fan base decreased or not. Along with that, I have no clue how Robert will perform this season. This couple is a complete mystery to me. Hopefully Robert "invests" his time with dancing! Hahaha, get it?!

Charlotte McKinney and Keoikantse Motsepe
I am so glad that Keo is back this season. We didn't get to see a lot of him last season, but I can tell that his choreography is unique and fun. Charlotte is definitely going to have fun with him, and I am excited to see Keo's comeback. One thing I am worried about, though, is their votes. Keo does not have as large of a fan base as some of the other pros, and Charlotte has only recently become "big" in the celebrity world (as far as I know). I am a little worried about this couple's safety for the competition.

Riker Lynch and Allison Holker
The Hough family is taking over this season! Julianne Hough is a judge, Derek Hough is a pro, and Riker (their cousin) is a contestant. I love how a lot of the people this season are blonde! Anyway, Riker obviously has rhythm because he is in a band, and I think that will transfer well on the dance floor. As for Allison, I know she got a lot of criticism last season, but I think that this is her time to shine. I hope this couple this well, especially because of the high expectations of them from many of the viewers.

Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy
I can already tell that this couple will get a lot of votes. Rumer and Val are both very popular, and I am excited to see Val's outrageous choreography for her. I am especially excited for this season's Disney week (if they make it that far) because Val really captures the essences of themed weeks. This couple seems like they will have a lot to offer.


Well, those are my views. What do you think? Who do you want to win?

Remember, season 20 of Dancing With the Stars begins March 16 at 8 pm/7 pm central!

I will also be creating a Twitter soon, so there will be all sorts of updates there. Stay tuned!
