"Val Chmerkovskiy has predicted that Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars will be &amp;quot;intense&amp;quot;. The dance professional suggested in a recent interview that the competition will be fiercer than ever, but said that he will train for Dancing with the Stars: All Stars just as he has for prior seasons. &amp;quot;We approach every season that way. It&amp;#039;s not all-stars for us. It&amp;#039;s all-stars for the all-stars,&amp;quot; Chmerkovskiy joked to Access Hollywood. &amp;quot;Our job stays the same no matter what character we&amp;#039;re paired up with. It&amp;#039;s a formula, A+B=C.&amp;quot; Chmerkovskiy was also asked which competitor he thinks will become the early frontrunner. &amp;quot;Every season is different. Every cast and everything is relative when it comes to competitive events, especially dancing,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;The season Apolo [Anton Ohno] won, I wouldn&amp;#039;t say that was the most competitive season.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;The season Melissa Rycroft was on was probably the most competitive season. You have the three finalists from the season on this show - Gilles [Marini], Melissa and Shawn Johnson.&amp;quot; Kirstie Alley, Pamela Anderson, Bristol Palin, Emmitt Smith, H\u00E9lio Castroneves, Joey Fatone, Drew Lachey and Kelly Monaco will also compete to become the grand ballroom champion. Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars premieres on September 24 on ABC. Photo gallery - Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars celebrities:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
