'Dancing with the Stars': Season 11 cast gets partnered up
Ever the tease, ABC delayed announcing the "Dancing with the Stars" celebrity and professional pairings for more than a day after revealing the cast, despite the fact that duos already started training.During the September 1 broadcast of "Good Morning America," -- which first teased at the couples by interviewing Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas the day before -- Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke let the 11 other cats out of the bag.
And without further ado, so will we. Here are all 12 sets of partners for the Season 11 of "Dancing with the Stars":
Michael Bolton and Chelsie Hightower
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 Lacey Schwimmer
Brandy Norwood and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas
Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Karina Smirnoff
Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya
You may notice that Edyta Sliwinska is not among this season's pros -- and she won't be anymore, having left the show. She says via Twitter that "I'm grateful to the show but my life can't be limited to 'DWTS.' I hope you understand. Please know that you guys, the audience was the best part of the experience."
So there you have it, but are they perfect matches or odd couples? Let us know in the comments.

Poor Chelsie.
This is sending the wrong message to young ladies still in school having a baby out of wedlock should not make you a star. Unbelievable!
Bad Mistake!I have always loved this show it is one of my favorite to watch. This is also sending the wrong message to Bristol as well that she is a star explain just how is she a STAR????
Just because Florence is old dosen't mean she needs an older partner. I wish they paired Lacey with anybody else, But i'm glad she is involved this season!!!
Looks like Derek got the long straw again. Jennifer Grey is the only one with previous dancing experience.
Why do they always team Cheryl with the tall black guys?
Margaret and Louis will be a hoot.
Really over Derek getting the ones with past experience.
I think Derek and Jennifer are a perfect match. How can you say she has past experience after so many years ago. I am going to miss Edyta so much, she has always been my favorite but she never makes it too long on the show. I think the guys vote for her, and the girls don't because their jealous of her. She always looks sensual & sexy and never many clothes. But that's what makes Edyta! I'll miss you!
Cheryl and Derek always get the most talented and best looking partners! The thing is so rigged for them to do well. Mostly because they think the viewers love them, so the show wants them to stick around until the end.
I have never watched a season and no Charo this season so won't be watching yet again cuchi-cuchi
I actually enjoy seeing Mark's Dad Corky dance. Not interested in Bristol either. Hope these celebstants actually want to be there and want to learn from their pros. Sorry to see Edyta go as well - she was a fine dancer even if her costume budget was 1/8 as much as others.
Remember Jennifer Grey made that movie over 20 years ago. She is also 50 years old. Her prior experience was years ago. It will be a challenge for her. I think Brandy will do quite well.
