I was under the impression his contract ran till next year. But that's how it goes... Just because you're under contract doesn't mean you'll be on a season.

Missing a lot of the regular pros this season...

As far as Derek is concerned, we all like what we like & don't like what we don't like. I know he's talented & all that jazz, I'm just not entertained by him or his ego.

No Maks this season, he tweeted that he's not in this season. His contract is until 2015. I think he is just skipping this season then he will be back. Maybe to chill Len and CA a little bit.

Would there have been a "safer" choice?

She's in the industry. I will assume she can fend for herself. I'm more concerned that she'll be seen as a ringer and voted off early as a result.

Pretty sure we won't get all the sexual energy we saw between Val and his last partner. Better not, anyway. And that kind of takes away Val's main advantage, doesn't it?

Mark would have been a safer choice but it seems she's several inches taller than him so now I can see why they aren't paired. Tristan would be another that could make a more "cute" and fun pairing. Also, since they've cast several new pros, they could have looked for a pro they thought would match up with her well. Val just exudes sexuality and is shirtless in nearly every dance so he would have been the last one I expected to get paired with a 16 year old. It'll be interesting to see him have to tone it down though.

Sean Lowe IS Dancing With the Stars and His Partner Is …. — Exclusive!

Don’t be fooled by this morning’s Dancing With the Stars Season 16 cast announcement, folks. Although Bachelor star Sean Lowe didn’t appear on Good Morning America for the reveal of the new 2013 cast, Wetpaint Entertainment can confirm the reports that he is, indeed, doing the show.

And now, we can also reveal his partner. And the lucky gal is…

Peta Murgatroyd!

That’s right, Sean and the leggy, blonde stunner are set to tackle the tango (and all the other moves) together.

However, Sean’s mystery fiancee from the Bachelor needn’t worry. We hear he's completely smitten with this season’s winner, and only has eyes for her. His feet, however, will strictly be Peta’s property for the near future.

That's good news for Sean. After all, Peta took Donald Driver all the way to the top during her second season as a pro. With Peta as a teacher, Sean's an instant threat in the ballroom.

Why is this casting being kept a big secret? We’re unclear — but Reality Steve seems to think it’s because Seans’s season of the Bachelor is still airing and the folks at ABC are waiting for the right moment to make the big announcement, possibly after March 11 finale.

We know one thing for sure: we can wait to see Sean’s tush in costume!

Dancing With the Stars Season 16 premieres March 18, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Thanks for the videos, cimcoe! I wonder if Ingo's Aussie accent will reappear during the season since he's working with Kym.

Yeah, I'll be voting for them. Can't help it.
