DWTS Season 10 Rumors – Things that Make You Go Hmmm
The thing that’s making me go “Hmmmm….” right now is this:
My question is – if it’s something she’s getting ready to work on, why wouldn’t SHE announce it…unless it’s seriously in the entertainment business. You know how they like to announce their own stuff. 🙂 Anyway, there’s been a lot of pushing around the ‘net for Melissa to take Samantha’s place on DWTS since Samantha left DWTS. This pushing has been by Melissa fans, of course, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen. I even sort of jokingly suggested it myself in a previous post! IF…and it’s a BIG IF because I don’t think that the producers pay that much attention to fans (because LOTS of celebs have huge fanbases, frankly)…if DWTS is Melissa’s announcement, what do you think of it? Is there something else Melissa has been rumored for and I’ve missed it? I read her twitter page back several days and I didn’t see anything.
Whatever is going on, I wish Melissa tons of success. I don’t think I would actually have an issue with her taking Samantha’s place. She’d do better than Sam and Paula combined (although that bar is set pretty low 🙂 ).
Don’t anyone freak out – I could be TOTALLY off base on this speculation.
She is ET’s Special Guest Correspondent this week (i read it on fb lol)
Yeah, but hasn’t that been known for a bit? Why would that entail an “announcement”? She’s on twitter talking about working in LA this week. I dunno – seems like much ado about little if that’s what her “announcement” is. A one week gig on ET? Big deal.
Perhaps she’s pregnant?
But on a side tangent I just found and article stating Pamela Anderson may join the Dancing Cast! I find it hilarious, but see what you can do with it…
I’m giving it to you Heidi because I think you’ll have a field day with this, lol!

Er, you’re not “giving” it to me Nick. It’s all over the net because it was broken by Radar Online earlier this afternoon (at least, they claim exclusive). Much like the Samantha news, it’s clogging up my dang tweetdeck with people re-tweeting it. It actually kinda pisses me off how many times people simply re-tweet the same info. THIS is what I’m talking about – finding actual reports of someone being on the show, not picking lists of celebs because they aren’t busy.
There is some speculation that Melissa’s “announcement” was her Special Correspondent gig on ET – that doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, since she worked on GMA all summer which is a bigger deal, but maybe she’s prone to hyperbole. Isn’t ET on ABC and not syndicated? If that’s true, there could be a logical progression here: GMA–>ET–>DWTS. And maybe she’s just easily excitable.
I read today that she’s going to be a new special correspondent for ET all of the time, as a recurring thing, that’s why it was more of an announcement I guess. I do think she would make a great Samantha replacement though if that’s what it came to. But I really doubt they replaced Samantha that fast, their probably still mulling over the decision with a few people in mind.
I would love to see Mellissa Rycroft named the replacement for Samantha Harris. That was my first thought when I heard Samantha was leaving. Mellissa is pretty, fashionable, loaded with personality. I think she would be a great fit. I hope they listen to the fans of the show. I can’t wait to see who the stars are.
PS. I was very disappointed with Donny Osmond win this is not a popularity contest

Looks to me like it Melissa’s announcement is the special correspondent for ET. She definitely is excitable.
Melva,
Many people agree with you about Donny. However, there’s no doubt that DWTS IS a popularity contest. Unfair as it may be, it’s still about popularity. What can you do? Handicap a star because their more popular?
[…] first talked about Melissa Rycroft hosting Dancing with the Stars at the beginning of this month. There were also rumors of Ashlan Gorse and Nancy O’Dell […]
