<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/julianne-hough/507219' target='_blank'>Julianne Hough</a><br> <b>Why You Know Him:</b> He's a TV and radio personality who partnered with Jimmy Kimmel on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/the-man-show/177926/main' target='_blank'>'The Man Show'</a> and hosted MTV's relationship talk show <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/loveline/761785/main' target='_blank'>'Loveline.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> We've never seen Adam get up and off the couch before -- but he's partnered with a sexy two-time champ, so if that can't motivate him, what will?

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/cheryl-burke/507214/main' target='_blank'>Cheryl Burke</a><br> <b>Why You Know Him:</b> This popular Chilean actor's starred in the series <br><a href='http://television.aol.com/show/rey-de-reyes/59634/main' target='_blank'>'Reyes y Rey'</a> and the telenovela 'So&#241;ar no Cuesta Nada'; he's also had roles on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/ugly-betty/762061/main' target='_blank'>'Ugly Betty'</a> and <a href=' http://television.aol.com/show/the-class/762067/main' target='_blank'>'The Class.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> Every season needs a soap star, and we're hoping Cristian will be able to follow in <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kelly-monaco/507301 ' target='_blank'>Kelly Monaco</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/cameron-mathison/364998' target='_blank'>Cameron Mathison's</a> shoes and bring the drama (and the moves).

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/derek-hough/527855/main' target='_blank'>Derek Hough</a><br> <b>Why You Know Her:</b> She's forever burned into our minds as the hot foreign exchange student <a href='http://movies.aol.com/celebrity/jason-biggs/6156/main' target='_blank'>Jason Biggs</a> worshiped in <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/american-pie/6308/main' target='_blank'>'American Pie.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> She's long and lean, and she took dance lessons as a kid -- and this looker should have the male demographic all sewn up. Too bad Adam Carolla can't vote.

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/anna-trebunskaya/507305/main' target='_blank'>Anna Trebunskaya</a><br> <b>Why You Know Him:</b> Best known for the <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/police-academy/21502/main' target='_blank'>'Police Academy'</a> and <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/three-men-and-a-baby/1035654/main' target='_blank'>'Three Men and a Baby'</a> franchises, he played to a younger crowd with a recent recurring role on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/veronica-mars/73285/main' target='_blank'>'Veronica Mars.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> Sure, The Guttenberg can handle pratfalls, but can he look smooth and sincere on a ballroom floor? We fear he may be the next <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/jerry-springer/265399' target='_blank'>Jerry Springer.</a>

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/karina-smirnoff/507224/main' target='_blank'>Karina Smirnoff</a><br> <b>Why You Know Him:</b> If you don't recognize this R&B star, your kids will. This 21-year-old has topped the charts with songs like 'Let Me Love You' and 'Just a Friend.' He also co-starred in a little dance movie called <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/step-up/25911/main' target='_blank'>'Step Up.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> He's got a handle on the hip-hop moves, so just like a previous 'Dancing' contestant who shared his first (uh, only) name, he should be a shoo-in for the final three.

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;Fabian Sanchez<br> <b>Why You Know Her:</b> She won an Oscar for her film debut in <a href='http://movies.aol.com/movie/children-of-a-lesser-god/24859/main' target='_blank'>'Children of a Lesser God'</a> and has guest-starred on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/the-west-wing/55977/main' target='_blank'>'The West Wing,'</a> <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/desperate-housewives/379235/main' target='_blank'>'Desperate Housewives'</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/nip-tuck/334756/main' target='_blank'>'Nip/Tuck.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> If this likable hearing-impaired star can find a way to dance without being able to hear the band, she could go all the way.<br>

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kym-johnson/507220/main' target='_blank'>Kym Johnson</a><br> <b>Why You Know Him:</b> Of the famous magic/comedy duo Penn & Teller, he's the half that talks.<br> <b>Our Take:</b> Penn's a big guy and doesn't seem to be the ballroom type. He'd better have a few tricks up his sleeve if he wants to get far.<br>

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;Louis van Amstel<br> <b>Why You Know Her:</b> She was married to <a href='http://music.aol.com/artist/elvis-presley/1004448' target='_blank'>Elvis</a>! What more do you need? She also starred in the <a href=' http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-naked-gun-from-the-files-of-police-squad/22928/main ' target='_blank'>'Naked Gun'</a> movies and on <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/dallas/99777/main' target='_blank'>'Dallas.'</a><br> <b>Our Take:</b> She may need to bust out a pair of Elvis' blue suede shoes for luck, because the 62-year-old star has her work cut out for her against all these young'uns.

<b>Partner:</b>&nbsp;<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/jonathan-roberts/507222/main' target='_blank'>Jonathan Roberts</a><br> <b>Why You Know Her:</b> The tennis pro is one of the top-ranked players of all-time and achieved an impressive career comeback after she was stabbed by a crazed spectator.<br> <b>Our Take:</b> This tough competitor has won eight Grand Slam titles. If she brings that spirit to the dance floor, it could be game, set, match.<br>

But we think he's got game.<br>
