I watched the first season of this and a couple of episodes of the second one. This new season sounds pretty lame. No where near as good as "so you think you can dance."

This year's participants are: talk show host Jerry Springer, actress Vivica A. Fox, MSNBC political talk show host Tucker Carlson, actor Joseph Lawrence, NFL running back Emmit Smith, actor Harry Hamlin (who is married to this year's co-host Lisa Rinna), actor Mario Lopez of "Saved by the Bell" fame, Willa Ford, Monique Coleman of Disney's "High School Musical," and country musician Sara Evans and model Shanna Moakler. You can check out their bios on the official website.

The season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" is Tuesday, September 12 on abc.
