Yes they do tend to be on the short side which would make partnering them up awkward.

As someone who has met all the male gymnasts from this year's team I can say this is absolutely true! Lol

For reference, I'm 5'4" and as tall as or taller than two of them. And the others are barely taller.

No, it's Laurie! I so wanted her for Sasha!

It's already confirmed who Sasha has and it's not Laurie. He's got some reality star that's on some Lifetime show.

It can't be Laurie or any of the women gymnastics team.. they're on the Kellog's tour this fall. Although Simone would love to do a spring version!

If it is Laurie, great! She adorable. If not, bummer. Mahkaylah would be good too. I'm fine with whoever.

Laurie has started following Val. ET confirmed she was doing the show. I had posted the link prior
@atem I knew that. That's why I said I had wished he was paired with her even before the rumor of her doing the show. Yet, I knew she go with either Val,Mark, or Derek.

DWTSGossip and Pure DWTS says Cheryl will be back.

ETA: and seems Derek's partner is Marilu Henner. Wiki says she's an actress.

Yep, she is an actress. Currently does the Aurora Teagarden mystery movies on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. Also has H-SAM, a condition otherwise known as Highly Superior Auto-Biographical Memory. Very fascinating...

She is 64 and very fit and active. I can actually see her doing a good job.

^ Thanks for that info never watched anything she's been in.
PS love your screen name! Dr. Pepper is my go to soda! ;)

I also see Marilu doing well, especially with Derek. Glad he got someone older this time.

The DWTS IG pretty much confirmed Val's partner is Laurie. (Super athlete with two siblings) That will be interesting since Val is notorious for his sensual dancing and Laurie is 16. Good challenge for him.

Happy that it seems Cheryl is back. And thrilled Derek didn't get an automatic finalist. Marilou Henner was in the OG cast of Grease on Broadway and started on Taxi on TV.

Any word on Mark? Is he back or not?
