List of Dancing with the Stars (American TV series) competitors
Dancing with the Stars is an American reality television show in which celebrity contestants and professional dance partners compete to be the best dancers, as determined by the show's judges and public voting. The series first broadcast in 2005, and thirty-four complete seasons have aired. During each season, competitors are progressively eliminated on the basis of public voting and scores received from the judges until only a few contestants remain. These finalists participate in a finale, from which a winner is determined.[1] Celebrities appearing on Dancing with the Stars include "actors, singers, comedians, musicians, entrepreneurs, athletes, reality stars, journalists, TV presenters, internet personalities, newsmakers, and where-are-they-now personalities".[2]
As of season 34, 408 celebrities have competed. Eleven of those withdrew from the competition: Sara Evans of season 3 left the show to "give her family full attention" after filing for divorce; Misty May-Treanor of season 7 was forced to pull out after an ankle injury; Tom DeLay of season 9 reportedly withdrew "due to stress fractures in both of his feet"; Dorothy Hamill of season 16 withdrew due to a previous injury that was unrelated to the competition; Billy Dee Williams of season 18 quit due to a back injury; Kim Zolciak-Biermann of season 21 was forced to withdraw after suffering a mini-stroke, which although cleared her to dance, prevented her from flying to California from Atlanta; Tamar Braxton, also of season twenty-one, withdrew due to pulmonary embolisms in her lungs; Christie Brinkley of season twenty-eight withdrew on the day of the season premiere due to an injury to her arm that required surgery; she was replaced by her daughter Sailor; Ray Lewis, also of season twenty-eight, withdrew due to a toe injury sustained during rehearsals; Jeannie Mai of season 29 withdrew due to being hospitalized for epiglottitis; and Selma Blair of season 31 withdrew when it became too risky to continue dancing due to her multiple sclerosis.[3][4][5]
