Honey Boo Boo, Mackenzie Ziegler & More Join ‘DWTS: Juniors’

As much as we love watching grown men dance around in really tight pants, we’re oddly intrigued by the franchise’s newest venture: Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.

ABC just announced the names of the 12 celebs that will compete in the show’s first-ever pint-size competition. Each contestant has been paired with a Junior pro along with a mentor from DWTS, and the competition looks small…but mighty. Here’s the cast:
