About This Quiz

"Dancing with the Stars" has been around for more than a few years now and we're pretty sure the show has exceeded expectations. Now on its 26th season, the show keeps adding a new roster of stars every season, and fans are loving it. Today we want to test your knowledge, but not of the dance instructors, we have come to know and love. No, that would be way too easy. Instead, we want to see how well you remember the contestants whose stay on the show was brief, especially when you take 26 seasons into consideration.

So, what we'll do is to give you a picture of the star. We'll even add a hint of who the star is, whether we give you their initials, what they're famous for, who they won or lost the show with or who their partners were. It will be your job to correctly choose the name of the celebrity. Oh, and don't think we'll make it easy by only including recent contestants. No way! We've got 26 seasons worth from which to choose and you better believe we're making good use of it. 

So if you think you've got what it takes to correctly identify these "Dancing with the Stars" celebrities, go ahead and begin this quiz.
