Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Cast List Revealed! Pairings TBA on GMA August 31st

The Dancing With The Stars Season 11 Cast list was announced August 30 during Bachelor Pad on ABC. At 9:23 pm ET, the much anticipated first half of the 12-member list was announced by Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke.

First Tom and Brooke announced the female contestants, saving the highly controversial pick of "Alaska's favorite daughter" as they dubbed her, Bristol Palin, for last.
