i would call david hasslehoff,tania zaetta, charlotte dawson all wanna bes they are nothing now and david cmon go back to your wife and daughters you are a wanna be and you couldn’t sing to pay your bills buddy
Not as good as last year’s cast. Would have great to get someone from Underbelly or maybe an ex-Australian cricketer like Michael Slater etc. Hamish and Andy would have been fantastic.
A-Grade: None
B-Grade: David Hasselhoff
C-Grade: Charlotte Dawson, Ian Dickson
D-Grade: Jason Akermanis, Patti Newton, Vince Sorrenti, Fiona O’Loughlin
E-Grade: Nathan Joliffe, Marion Grasby, Lauryn Eagle, Ben Dark, Tania Zaetta
Thrilled to see Marion’s inclusion. Hope she does well!
This isn’t too bad a lineup, much better than having racist Pauline Hanson or loudmouth Deni Hines. But I still wouldn’t watch this trash if you paid me, not a fan of stripped reality shows at all.
Not a bad line up, does fall away a little after Marion in that list, but still some entertaining names.
I wonder if Charlotte Dawson will return to her weekly spot on Seven’s The Morning Show now she’s primetime on Nine.
Now just imagine if this was a line-up to Celebrity Big Brother! please consider that idea, Nine.
Please Charlotte Dawson, be a bitch to everyone & make it watchable.
That’s an astonishingly promising lineup. Good work getting Akermanis and O’Loughlin as equivalents to interesting characters last year. And utterly riveted by the idea of the Hoff!
Its intertesting to see that nine have only included one of thier own ‘celebrities’ in this years show and Ben Dark has a relativley small profile compared to other nine personalities. If celebrity apprentice was a seven show you clould expect half the line up to be made of newsreaders and h&a cast members like whats happens every year on DWTS.
Marion for the win! I have met her before and she is one of the nicest people out
Decent lineup, I can already see who will fall into the shoes of most annoying, attention seeker, biggest villain, boofhead, total bitch, dumbass that comes out on top, gay favourite ect.
but no non-whites?
The casting for season 1 was unbeatable – they managed to cast just about every “love to hate” celeb in Aus. Season 2 cast is also full of some less than likeable people.
Funniest thing in that list is the words “Bollywood actress” beside Tania Zaetta’s name. I donned a red suit once – does that make me Santa Claus?
LOL Tania Zaetta : bollywood actress 🙂
I nearly fell off my chair when i read that line.
I will give this one a go, the first one had too many annoying celebs.
Totally not scraping the bottom of the barrel there…
none really excite me besides patti, charlotte and jason. maybe charlotte will be the new denni hines
I hope Fiona and Charlotte get into each others hair, LOL!
My money on Fiona to be the villainess of the year…
Vince Sorrenti = the Daryl Somers of “comedy”… Shudder.
Now the rest of the list, great! I might actually watch this season now, the lack of actual celebs put me off last time. I’d love to see Patti and Acker come to blows.
Oh my stars! This is a really decent line up!!
No shortage of Celebs and they end up with this ”cast”?!?
Can’t say that any of these names will inspire me to watch it this time around.
When will people stop calling Tania Zaetta a Bollywood actress? Appearing in the back row of a chorus for a few seconds qualifies more as an extra
I meant to say arguably better than the first season. It is 4am here in Brisbane.
Wow, that is a fantastic cast. Arguably better than the best, but I guess we’ll see. Hope this isn’t too late in the year. Lauryn Eagle stands out for me considering she is the only one there that I don’t know, but the other eleven are pretty big names.
Some interesting cast choices – and an Amazing Race contestant on 9 which will give some publicity to the return of the 7 show (see also Marion from Masterchef – I like the ‘network-blind’ style casting). Don’t know a few lower on the list. I’ll be watching though!
Looks like an interesting cast. Shall be interesting to see Dicko outside of the judging, script world.
