'Dancing With the Stars' 2016 Cast: Will Geraldo Rivera Or Marla Maples Be Eliminated First? [POLL]
There are 12 celebrities competing in the new season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, but one of them has to be the first celeb eliminated.
All 12 celebs and their pro dancing partners will show their newly-learned moves to America in Monday night's premiere of Dancing With the Stars. Luckily, no one will be eliminated at the end of the night, but it will likely give us an indication as to which celebs are here to stay and which ones won't last long.
The season 22 cast of Dancing With the Stars is as follows:
Fuller House star Jodie Sweetin and Keo Motsepe
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess
UFC fighter Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas
Boyz II Men singer Wanya Morris and Lindsay Arnold
Actress Marla Maples and Tony Dovolani
Former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie and Karina Smirnoff
Actress Mischa Barton and Artem Chigvintsev
Super Bowl MVP Von Miller and Witney Carson
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Fields and Sasha Farber
Television personality Geraldo Rivera and Edyta Sliwinska
America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd
Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy
Let's assess which celebs have the best chance of going home first.
Traditionally, it's been older or lesser known celebrities that have gone home in the first few weeks of competition. Therefore, celebs like Flutie, Maples and Rivera will likely have to step up in a major way to avoid elimination. All three have some semblance of name recognition at least, but it is always harder for older celebrities to excel among their much younger counterparts.
VanZant and DiMarco are probably not as well known on the national stage so they may need to prove themselves more, but both have the potential to exceed in the competition.
The first star will be eliminated in Week 2 of the competition.
So who will be the first celebrity eliminated from season 22 of Dancing With the Stars?
Dancing With the Stars season 22 premieres Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
