Because some people are just meant for reality TV.

Perhaps ABC executives are excited about announcing Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson to the Dancing With The Stars All Stars lineup, given the Olympic buzz in the air right now. We're more excited to hear that the show will include Melissa Rycroft, the former Dallasite and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader; and Emmitt Smith, former Dallas Cowboys player.

What, no Mark Cuban?

Other than Johnson, Rycroft, and Smith, the cast includes: Pamela Anderson, actress and model; Kelly Monaco, General Hospital star and model; Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin; Kirstie Alley, actress; Drew Lachey, former 98 Degrees member; Joey Fatone, former member of 'N Sync; Apolo Anton Ohno, Olympian; Helio Castroneves, race car driver; and Gilles Marini, French actor.

The show will also have one more contestant, a "viewer's choice" pick who will either be fashion commentator Carson Kressley, singer Sabrina Bryan, or Disney Channel star Kyle Massey. Vote here. The winner will be announced August 27.

The two-hour season premiere is Monday, September 24.
