Dancing with the Stars may be facing stiff competition from So You Think You Can Dance this fall, but it will do so with its largest field yet.

For the show’s ninth season, the program will start off with a whopping 16 celebrities. This means viewers will see three double-eliminations in the first few weeks.

As usual, ABC has roped in a handful of athletes, some reality stars, a few models and a number of D-listers. But unlike previous rounds, DWTS will now also feature it’s first disgraced politician.

• Aaron Carter: Singer, former Lindsay Lohan/Hilary Duff boyfriend
• Mark DaCascos: Iron Chef America host
• Tom DeLay: Former House Majority leader
• Ashley Hamilton: Son of George Hamilton, Shannen Doherty’s ex-hubby
• Michael Irvin: Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
• Chuck Lidell: Mixed martial arts star
• Donny Osmond: The other half of Donny & Marie
