It’s always interesting to see how far ABC likes to stretch the definition of “star” in regards to the celebrities they scoop up for their annual dance-fest, and this season is no different. Mostly all of the newcomers are obscure and barely recognizable, except for three of ’em: Michael Sam (who famously came out when playing college football for the University of Missouri), diva goddess Patti LaBelle, and thighmaster extraordinaire, Suzanne Somers.

All but one of the show’s new cast members has been revealed, with the 12th and final member set to be announced at a later date. Originally, pro Derek Hough was taking a break this season, but of course, ABC couldn’t go without their darling boy, so he’s back with a partner that will SURELY get him to the finals. Here are the 11 celebs competing for the mirror-ball trophy, along with their pro-dancing partner:

– Former sergeant, and Men’s Health’s current “Ultimate Guy of 2014,” Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess
– Shark Tank investor Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson
– Queen Mother Patti LaBelle and Artem Chigvintsev
– Retired Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough (#barfcity)
– Singer-songwriter Riker Lynch and Allison Holker
– Model/actress Charlotte McKinney and Keo Motsepe
– LMFAO’s RedFoo and Emma Slater
– NFL free agent Michael Sam and Peta Murgatroyd
– The Hunger Games star Willow Shields and Mark Ballas
– Actress & singer Suzanne Somers and Tony Dovolani
– Actress Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy

Dancing With the Stars season 20 premieres Monday, March 16 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
