Bristol Palin, The Situation join cast of Dancing With The Stars

Having realized that more people tuned into last season’s Dancing With The Stars to sneer at Kate Gosselin’s awkwardness rather than delight in the unexpected grace of Chad Ochocinco, ABC is apparently doubling down on the schadenfreude by adding Bristol Palin and Jersey Shore’s $5 million dollar man The Situation to a cast that also includes David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, and Brandy. America’s most fertile breeding ground/fervent abstinence advocate will reportedly square off against America’s id manifestation in a pas de deux rife with psychosexual undertones. An official announcement is expected during the Aug. 30 episode of Bachelor Pad.
