The 10th anniversary of ABC\u2019s Dancing with the Stars<\/em> (and its 20th season!) debuts next Monday, March 16 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. and after much teasing, the final celebrity contestant has been announced. It is none other than this year\u2019s Bachelor<\/em> Chris Soules. (Was that worth waiting for? I think not.) He will be paired with last season\u2019s pro champ, the adorable Whitney Carson who helped lead Alfonso Ribeiro to victory.<\/p>\n

As always, this season will be hosted by Tom Bergeron and is joined again by Erin Andrews as well as ballroom judges Len Goodman, two-time Mirrorball champ and actress Julianne Hough, and dancer\/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba. Fans of show will have more access to the that is necessary with six live stream videos <\/a>of the ballroom at different angles as well as live streaming videos at the DWTS<\/em> rehearsal studio at ABC.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
