DWTS 11 - The Pairings!

These were announced on GMA this morning: 

• Michael Bolton and Chelsie Hightower
• Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
• Margaret Cho and Louis Van Amstel
• Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke
• Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough
• David Hasselhoff and Kym Johnson
• Florence Henderson and Corky Ballas
• Kyle Massey and Lacy Schwimmer
• Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas
• Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani
• Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Karina Smirnoff
• Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya

First thoughts - am delighted that Maks and Anna didn't get obvious duffers after getting to the finals last year. Am also hoping that Audrina Patridge can actually dance, because after last season, Tony DESERVES the ringiest ringer to ever ring!

Kym goes from one pop culture legend to another....

Derek got Jennifer Grey - so freaking obvious! (Though I would laugh and laugh if it turned out she has no aptitude for the dances at all..... hardly likely to happen, but I can dream, right?!)

Am definitely more interested having seen the pairings - the list looked fairly lacklustre yesterday morning, but the pairings are what makes or breaks it for me.
