Watch with us!

Who are your favorites so far??

Lets discuss….

Season 28 (yes- 28!!) kicks off tonight at 8pm EST, on ABC.

Hannah Brown, the most recent Bachelorette, Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek, Lamar Odom, Karamo Brown, and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer (ugh. insert eyeroll, scowl, whatever you feel…) are just a few of the 12 contestants this season.

This season the pairings weren’t announced until showtime, actually right before the couples performed their first dance, unlike other seasons when we knew from the time the cast was announced 3-4 weeks ahead of time.

Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are returning as co-hosts, as are the judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli.
