An All-star edition of the ABC dancing hit series is official. And the internet is exploding opinions of which 12 dancers should return for the epic dance-off.
Some of the “DWTS” stars are even weighing in with their opinions.
TV host Maria Menounos and Derek Hough kicked things off, and Derek describes her dancing technique as Bambi on ice. I'm not sure if that's a compliment--it's been a while since I've seen the movie--but Maria manages to work the dance floor pretty nicely. The judges advise her to use more "hip action."
Soap star Jack Wagner hit up the dance floor with Anna Trebunskaya. Judges say the dance is "beautifully acted and danced." And he didn't even have sex with her twin sister while she was in a coma. Or, you know, some other soap opera plot.

The View co-host Sherri Shepherd will be paired with Val Chmerkovskiy, whom Sherri calls “one of the best frickin’ dancers in the world. He’s hot!” But not as hot as Casper Smart, amiright!?

And apparently, she's not handling the rejection very well. It can't feel good to get beat out by a Kardashian.
When it was announced Solo would be going home, she told Tom Bergeron she was thankful she had the opportunity to be a part of the ABC talent show.
"This competition is one of the toughest competitions I've ever been a part of," Solo said.

He also managed to pick on Derek Hough claiming that he always gets paired with good partners hence why he’s won three times. Hollyscoop spoke to Derek last night at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles event honoring outstanding members of the Los Angeles community and he told us that he doesn’t care about what people say and all he is worried about is winning.

So in an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, Chmerkovskiy slammed his dancing pro costar.
“Derek Hough has been very supportive of his personal career on the show,” Maksim said. "When you say judges have been generous, with all due respect, if I had Nicole Scherzinger followed by Jennifer Grey followed by Ricki Lake, I probably would not be very upset with the judges either."

After Maksim and his dance partner Hope Solo performed a rumba on last night’s episode, he went nuts when Len Goodman called their performance the “worst dance of the season.”
Maksim shot back that the Len’s comments were “disrespectful” and that “The judges have their favorites. They always have.”
“I’ve been in this business for 50 years,” Len argued.
To which Maksim responded, “Then maybe it’s time to go!” Oh snap! If that wasn’t staged by the producers, then that was some Jerry Springer quality TV insults.

And we now know who is going to be paired up with who. Get ready to make your bets!
Soccer star Hope Solo will be dancing with Maksim Chmerjovskiy, who was partnered with Kirstie Alley last season.
Chaz Bono will dance with Lacey Schwimmer. Schwimmer has been paired with Lance Bass and Steve-O in the past.
Soap star and Iraqi war veteran J.R. Martinez got lucky. He's been paired with Karina Smirnoff. We're sure Smirnoff will enjoy dancing with Martinez, but he wasn't her first choice. Smirnoff told Hollyscoop who her dream partner is:

"It takes a lot out of you. When you invest that much of you into something that's supposed to be just work you [can] get misinterpreted. I don't know [if I'm coming back]. We'll see. Right now, I'm drained.”
There are going to be some really upset Midwestern soccer moms if this is true...
