With the Dancing with the Stars Season 17 Cast revealed, many fans are wondering how the next set of celebrity contestants are preparing before they show off their exemplary dance moves. Who are you betting on to win this DWTS season 17?

Amber Riley has been reportedly very patient with what she described in People magazine as "grueling." "It's four hours a day and six days a week," added Riley. Her partner will be Derek Hough who has already won four seasons in the past which can render the Glee celebrity a good stand at the competition.

Bill Nye, on the other hand, has been trying to implement several scientific theories on his own dance moves as he makes great plans for his upcoming performances. Nye shared with the San Gabriel Valley Tribune that it is all about the elements of control and balance plus striking the right mix of momentum and energy.

Another contestant who is a favorite to win is 'Jersey Shore' star Snooki. She has a background in dancing and cheerleading during her high school years. She aims high to land a better rank than what her 'frienemy' Mike Sorrentino did during the DWTS Season 11.

Celebrity News and Style mentioned in their latest update about the show's current season that ABC will do a few changes to create an episode with two hour format. The premiere will feature the complete cast to perform a big time number, just as how it happens with the usual pilot of reality tv shows. The dancing couples will then perform the routine for some Foxtrot or Cha Cha, or maybe even some Contemporary. By Sept 23, the first couple will be taken out of the game.

DWTS season 17 will start airing September 16, showing on ABC every Monday.
