The 18th season of Dancing With the Stars boasts a diverse pop culture cast from our childhood crushes, game show host replacements and the best Real Housewife of all time. See the cast before their pop culture icon days.

For the past 14 seasons, we’ve watched them shake and sashay their sequins around the dance floor. Now, 13 past contestants—including six previous winners, two Olympic champions, two boy-banders, and a football legend—are back to compete once again for the mirror-ball trophy. Here are some of our favorites; who do you think will win Dancing with the Stars: All Stars (premiering Monday, September 24, at 8 p.m. ET)?

ABC has an ambitious new lineup coming to your TVs and DVRs this fall. Snakkle was at the 2012 Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills to preview the new comedies and dramas and, of course, the announcement of the Dancing with the Stars all-star cast! Get all the important news nuggets below!

Are you dazzled by sequins? Is your heart set aflutter by sexy sambas and salsas? Then you’re probably already watching season 14 of Dancing with the Stars—and if you’re not, you should. Several fan favorites have already been eliminated (including Motown legend Gladys Knight), but the seven remaining contestants are showing off some mad dance skills—and some big personalities. So who will emerge victorious? Here’s our look at the remaining contestants—and their chances to win.

What could be more natural when two people are thrown together in a thoroughly unnatural reality-TV setting than for them to find true love? Well, okay, maybe not always true love—but the heightened reality of reality TV certainly has led to some wild (and some pretty weird) romances. For example, Heidi and Spencer from MTV’s The Hills are still going strong and have the new E! special After Shock: Heidi and Spencer airing so we can check in on their romance.

Here are some of our other favorite reality-TV showmances of all time…

Jennie Garth spent her late teen years growing up on television, starting with an appearance on the TV show Growing Pains in 1989 before becoming a breakout star on the hit series Beverly Hills, 90210. While she’s starred in many television movies and other series, she’s also expanded her roles to wife, mother of three daughters, and, now, single mom living on a farm in her own reality TV show. Garth has accomplished a lot in her 40 years, and Snakkle wants to celebrate with her!
