Finally the names of the celebs vying for the mirror ball trophy have been revealed. The announcement was live during last night's ABC's Bachelor Pad.

Are you excited? Do you plan to watch? Who do you think is going to be in the top three?

The celebs all looked kind of petrified to me as if maybe they are wondering what in the world they have gotten themselves in to. The show's premiere is set for Monday, September 19. That means they are scrambling to practice, learning new routines, discovering pain in parts of their body they never knew existed. We find out tomorrow morning who the pros are going to be paired up with for the new season.

Here are the celebrities who dare to attempt to learn to ballroom dance and compete in front of millions:
