Season 10 DWTS Professionals - The Chinese Water Torture of Reality TV

(Updated to add Maks)

Pity the poor dancing pros who await to find out if they are in season 10 of Dancing with the Stars. It's a big deal to their career and pocket, plus they get constantly nagged and reminded on Twitter that they haven't confirmed yet.

Shed a tear, and then remember it's a job and it comes with the territory.

For unknown reasons (possibly because the celebrities haven't signed their contracts yet) the professionals have been told in dribs and drabs whether they are appearing. Cheryl Burke confirmed first, and the others just seem to be waiting for a call, running to Twitter after they put the phone down.

Here are the professionals that are (almost certainly) definite:

- Cheryl Burke
- Chelsie Hightower
- Edyta Slwinska
- Derek Hough
- Mark Ballas
- Tony Dovolani
- Louis van Amstel
- Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Chelsie and Louis actually tweeted they were on, and then deleted the tweets!

Assuming there are 11 couples, there are four more to go.

Also, keep your eye on Damian Whitewood from Burn The Floor. His girlfriend posted on Facebook that he would be appearing. Source: Pure DWTS

Most importantly, shed a real tear for Lacey Schwimmer and Jonathan Roberts who will not be appearing. It's a shame, but going from 16 couples to 11 means someone will be disappointed. I know that Lacey's fans, in particular, are not happy!

I keep this page updated with the latest news on which professionals are in.
