Samantha Harris recently announced that she is leaving "Dancing With the Stars" to focus more on journalism projects, and at least one person is surprised by the move: show judge Carrie Ann Inaba. In a new interview with People Magazine, Carrie Ann lets loose about Samantha's sudden decision:

"The show is going to miss her," she said at the Grammy Awards Sunday night. "I was really shocked and I was really sad to hear that she's moving on."

There is still no official word on who will replace Samantha on the show, but internet buzz seems to be leaning towards former contestants like Drew Lachey and "Bachelor" castoff Melissa Rycroft. Whenever there is an announcement, come here as I will have more news along with analysis.

Who do you think should be the next co-host? Let me know your thoughts with a comment below.
