I didn't even watch the first episode but without any info, I am still glad to hear that David Hasselhoff has left the show. He was one of my main reasons for not watching this season. I have to admit that I am more inclined now to tune in.
I may watch next week but have to admit that I'm still not excited about the Jersey Shore guy or Bristol Palin. How, in any sense of the word, can Bristol be considered a "star"? And I can't even think of any words to describe how I feel about someone from Jersey Shore on the show (and also would ask...how is this guy a star?).
Maybe the name of the show should change to "Dancing with anyone who might bring in a little publicity". Why DWTS producers felt they had to select this particular cast however, I'm not sure if publicity was the reason since the show was already doing well in the ratings. I'm truly puzzled.

I may have to boycot this time...
So the "celebrities" of the 11th season of DWTS have been announced and for the first time, I have to say that I'm not sure I will watch this show any more. In particular, I have issues with the choice of:
1. Bristol Palin: how is she a celebrity?
2. David Hasselhoff: no comment needed
3. The "Situation": ditto text for David Hasselhoff
4. The Hills Audrina Patridge: Can't they do any better than this?
None of these folks qualify as "stars" in my book and I just can't believe that with the popularity of this show and the media attention that it generates...that ABC could not find any people who have accomplished something that would qualify them to be celebrities. For the other six actors, actresses, and athletes on this season, if I were in their dancing shoes, I would be embarrassed to be included as a member of this group.
I also have some issue with the selection of Jennifer Grey, who starred in a movie about BALLROOM DANCING. Is it fair for someone with that background to compete with some folks who have no dancing experience? However, since they have included professional dancers in past seasons (such as last season's winner, Nicole, from the Pussycat Dolls), this is at least consistent with past selections.
