Dancing with the Stars: Meet the New Cast

Replacing Brooke Burke with Erin Andrews isn’t the only change 'Dancing with the Stars' is making this season.

I haven't watched 'Dancing with the Stars' since the first season, but now that there are two women competing from two shows that were on when I was younger that I loved, I might have to check it out this year.

On Good Morning America yesterday, host Tom Bergeron revealed that 'Dancing with the Stars' has added a new twist this season–for the first time ever, viewers will be allowed to vote to switch celebrities and their pro partners.
