This is either going to be really good or so bad, it's great. But either way, ABC's relaunch of Battle of the Network Stars (premiering Thursday, June 29 at 9/8c) is looking like the summer's must-see — especially since on Tuesday the full list of competitors was released. The celebrities we're most psyched to see throwing down in events like the kayak relay race and dunk tank:
Lou Ferrigno: Don't we all want to believe that, even at age 65, the Incredible Hulk is invincible?
John Barrowman: Whether the contest includes a battle of wit (get it?), the Arrow baddie is sure to toss off a zinger or 10.
Vivica A. Fox: Like a measly archery challenge could intimidate a casualty of Sharknado 2.
Adrian Zmed: OK, so the T.J. Hooker cop is on our list mainly because of our (very) faint hope that at some point he'll bust out in "Prowlin'" from Grease 2.
Parker Stevenson: Sorry, Shaun Cassidy. Frank was always our favorite Hardy Boy.
Lisa Whelchel: After Survivor, this oughta be a piece of cake for The Facts of Life's Blair.
Taye Diggs: Because where there's a dunk tank, there's a good chance Taye Diggs will get wet.
Charisma Carpenter: Having her compete in a tug-of-war against Julie Benz may be the closest we ever again come to seeing Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel's Cordelia and Darla face off.
Jill Wagner: The former Wipeout co-host is sure to scoff at Battle's comparatively simple obstacle course.
Jackée Harry: She'll win the sassy smack-talk challenge for her team even if there isn't one.
Here's the full list of stars competing on the 20 teams that will, in different episodes, do their damnedest to avoid "the agony of defeat":
