Who would you include in the DWTS All-Star cast? **Speculation For Now**

Pick 12 former DWTS contestants for the rumored upcoming All-Star season. You can include eliminated people from the current season if you want. Don't worry about which pro they will be paired with, chances are they wouldn't get the same pro this time anyway.

If you need a memory-jogger, here is a link to the archive thread of stars/pros.

Men
1) Gilles Marini (the absolute must have or else)
2) Joey Fatone
3) Warren Sapp
4) Evan Lysachek
5) Ralph Macchio
6) Carson Kressley (okay, I know he couldn't dance for peanuts and was out early, but he was and still is a ton of fun to watch. I half think he's the reason Brooke got better; she couldn't take the pressure of people calling for him to replace her).

Women
1) Mel B
2) Natalie Coughlin (she gave one of the few rumba performances I can watch over and over again-and was gone way too soon)
3) Gladys Knight (I know she'd be a long shot to come back again, especially if it was taking place in the fall, but it's what wish lists are for :))
4) Shawn Johnson
5) Lil Kim
6) Jennie Garth

My list is all over the board. I didn't pick anyone that won their season since they can come back for a DWTS Champions show. I've only been watching since about season 7.

I had a harder time with the men! Here's my picks:

Men

1. Gilles - have to have Gilles.
2. William Levy, if he doesn't win, because I think it would be fun to see the two of them together.
3. Evan Lysacek.
4. Joey Fatone.
5. Mario Lopez.
6. Ralph Macchio
If Levy wins (because I want no winners back), then either Mark Dacascos or Kyle Massey.

Women:

1. Mel B.
2. Erin Andrews.
3. Kirstie Alley.
4. Audrina Patridge.
5. Jennie Garth.
6. Lil Kim.

Interesting to me that of my favorites for the women, three were with Maks and two were with Derek!

The other hard part about this is that many of the ones we loved the most, who didn't win, have also had the biggest boosts to their careers as a result of this show - like Gilles, Mario and Mel B (for me at least), so they may not have the time or ability to commit to an all-stars season!

Men:
1. Gilles Marini
2. Joey McIntyre
3. Steve-O
4. Gavin DeGraw
5. David Arquette
6. Kyle Massey

Women:
1. Mel B.
2. Lil Kim
3. Kirstie Alley
4. Pam Anderson
5. Petra Nemcova
6. Paula Porizkova

Apparently I don't really give a rat's ass about dancing ability - I just like who I like.

Men:
Gilles Marini
Jerry Rice
Joey Fatone
Ralph Macchio
Kyle Massey
Carson Kressley

Women:
Kelly Osborne
Mel B
Chynna Phillips
Jennie Garth
Misty May-Treanor (she was so short changed cause of injury!)
Katherine Jenkins (provided she doesn't win this season)

I think they will end up having a guy and girl from the current season on the All-Star if they do one cause they will be fresh in everyone's minds. I just hope they do not have past winners though I loved alot of them and would love to see them dance again.

Men:

Gilles Marini
Joey Fatone
Apollo (hey, it's a dream list, right?! Though I don't think winners would/should be included, but man I loved Apollo!)
Ty Murray
Kyle Massey
Chris Jericho

Women:

Mel B.
Jennie Garth
Monique Coleman
Stacey Keibler
Lil Kim
Kirstie Alley

I haven't come up with my full list of who I would want to see back. But i agree with those who have said they should not bring any winners back. I hope they would do it like Top Chef and Project Runway did for their All Stars, where they brought back people who came REALLY close to winning, and people thought should have won, with a couple of "fan favorite" personalities mixed in. I definitely would like to see Misty Mae-Treanor come back so we can see what she could do without being stopped by injury. Which leads me to something else I wondered about -- do you guys think they should pair all-stars up with their original partner, or forbid anyone from having the same partner again?

Here's mine:

Men:
Gilles Marini
Joey Fatone
Warren Sapp
Romeo
Ralph Macchio


Women:
Erin Andrews
Kelly Osbourne
Misty May Treanor
Pam Anderson
Melissa Rycroft

Males:
Joey Fatone
Ty Murray
Jason Taylor
Kyle Massey
Evan Lysacek
Louie Vito

Females:
Erin Andrews
Misty May Treanor
Melissa Rycroft
Hope Solo
Natalie Coughlin
Ricki Lake

Clearly I generally like watching athletes on the show more.
