Wow, Bristol Palin made it to the final week of Dancing With The Stars. If you're bummed about the end of DWTS this season, you can rejoice in the start of Skating With The Stars which kicks off next week!

Well, let's not get our hopes too high. The show will most likely be quite dorky with wobbly celebrities on ice.

The pro skaters have been announced:

• Denis Petukhov
• Keauna McLaughlin
• Ethan Burgess
• Jennifer Wester
• Fred Palascak
• Brooke Castile

All of the pros have strong partnering experience and have competed at Nationals within the past few years. I think that will help the wobbly celebrities. I had thought with it being a post-Olympic season we would see more of the just retired Olympians, but they might have overshadowed the D-List stars. Tanith Belbin will apparently be appearing in the Samantha Harris/Brooke Burke role as co-hostess. She'll be one of two Torino and Vancouver Olympians on the show.

Johnny Weir will be one of the judges after two Olympic appearances. Dick Button will be along side him in the judges booth because honestly, there has to be number of televised skating events with Dick Button. I think it's an FCC rule for broadcasts. Laurieann Gibson is the final judge. She is a choreographer, but I'm not familiar with her.

Should be fun for at least a viewing or two.
