OK, I know I'm not the most "in tune" when it comes to the entertainment world, but who ARE these people??? lol. I know Wayne Newton because... well... I'm OLD... and Helio Castronieves because the Ex used to watch racing. The rest... *insert crickets chirping*

Cameron Mathison is a soap star. Didn't know him, either.

Floyd Mayweather is a champion boxer. I've heard the name on ESPN, but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Helio Castroneves is a racecar driver, which you know. I didn't before the show started.

Albert Reed is a 22-year-old model. Didn't know that.

Mark Cuban is the self-made billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks. Again, I only know him from hearing his name on ESPN.

And Wayne Newton is, of course, Mr. Las Vegas.

So all in all, I really don't know much about them, either. But I think that's one of the reasons why ABC pushes the show so hard. They can pull in B-level celebrities and heavily market them, and the celebrities can then parlay their success into new career areas. Examples: Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna have both now done Broadway, and Joey Fatone is hosting a game show of his own.
