Ohhhh, I've already got an early favorite: Mark Dacascos! I don't know how he'll be as a dancer, but he's a good actor, and he has a background in martial arts. I'm a huge Iron Chef America fan.

Tom DeLay???? He has quite a negative political reputation; why would they want him on the show? I think they are reaching pretty low in the barrel to come up with some of these people.
