The only "stars" I see on this list are Pasha and Anya. Do I really have to see Dominic on my screen again? Ugh. And Mark chicken-walking across the stage and his poor posture in ballroom? Double ugh. Why don't they have any of the winners on the list? They are the ones I'd love to see again.
At least Allison is versatile, even if her personality is rather dull. Kathryn turned in some very nice performances, so I'm okay with her.

Neil, Mark and Pasha all in the same season? I think I just died and went to SYTYCD heaven. These 3 are easily my favorite from all the seasons. Ade, Courtney, Lauren and Kathryn are awesome as well, but I'm superstoked to see Neil, Mark and Pasha dance again. This should make for a fun season.
