"Dancing" has a long-established formula that has pretty much remained the same since the British version started (with some tweaks for the American version). There's almost always the ex-jock, the current jock, the semi-controversial figure (although they said that they purposely avoided another Bristol Palin this time out), the soap star (which for the American version is revised to "ABC daytime soap star"), the former TV star, the Disney Channel star (that's American version only--does the British version have an equivalent?), the young music performer, the music performer who hasn't had a hit in ages, etc. I assume that Burnett has a similar formula for "Celeb Apprentice," but it's harder to figure out. And the reason the KROQ jock is on "Dancing" is because he hosts "Loveline," which is still nationally syndicated--and they couldn't get Dr. Drew to do the show. -- TV or Not TV ....
