Pure DWTS Season 12 Cast Rumors – Jodie Sweetin To Dance On Dancing With The Stars?
Ok, this is one of those long shots. But, I saw something at twitter today that peaked my curiousity. Jodie Sweetin is following MAKS. I just started following her about a month or so ago when I first heard of the rumors of her doing the show. At the time, she wasn’t following him (that I noticed). BUT, she is NOW. What’s more and if true, Jodie could be just the “ringer” Maks needs as she has been dancing since she was three years old. Read more from this November article from People below. Note too that she’d like Derek or Maks as a dance partner. However, she isn’t following Derek at twitter at the moment like she is Maks. Hmmmm??
“I really want to do the show,” Jodie Sweetin tells PEOPLE. “I just want to dance, but the fact that it would be on camera, and I’d get to have my hair and makeup done and wear those costumes? Awesome!”
It wouldn’t be the first time she’s danced on television. Sweetin, who shows off her baby girl Beatrix in this week’s issue of PEOPLE, began taking tap and ballet classes as a 3-year-old girl, and when she starred on Full House, the writers would incorporate dancing into her role.
“Stephanie was always dancing,” she recalls. “A week or two before a dancing episode, the writers would say, okay, you and your teacher choreograph a routine.”
These days, Sweetin and her boyfriend Morty Coyle follow Dancing closely, and Coyle has begun something of a grassroots campaign to try to get his girlfriend on the show.
“We saw a ‘Get Jodie Sweetin on Dancing with the Stars’ group on Facebook,” says Coyle. “And I thought, wow, all you have to do is ‘like’ this. So I started a trending topic on Twitter. It’s her dream. Hey, Betty White got on SNL!”
Of course, Dancing is on ABC, just like Full House, so “this would give them free reign to play all those clips of Stephanie dancing,” he jokes.
Should she get the call she’s hoping for, Sweetin says she’s already got an ideal partner and a favorite dance picked out.
“I really like Derek Hough,” she says. “Maks is good too – my mom loves him. But I like Derek’s style and his technique. And I really enjoy Latin ballroom. I’ve always wanted to learn the Argentine tango.”
She’ll probably make quick work of it, too.
“If I did do the show, I would ask, ‘How many hours did the winners rehearse?'” says Sweetin. “Then I’d want to do that, plus an hour. I would be that determined.”
You can also listen to Jodie talk about her interest with Dancing With The Stars and why she’d like to do the show, etc in a recent Jan. 24th Podcast interview >>>>>HERE (what she said on Bristol and Kate Gosselin is dead on imo!).
Here’s to Monday night y’all! 😉
Heidi’s Note: What makes this interesting is that she likes Derek but isn’t following him – cause he ain’t on the show this season? I hope this one is true. And that Maks gets her. 😉
Yeah I’ve heard of her wanting to do the show…that’d be cool if she was on! I always thought Dave Coulier should do DWTS too. What did her podcast say that was interesting (that’s a long time for me to listen to anyone hahah).
I meant to add in to my note – I don’t think taking tap and ballet starting at age 3 makes you a ringer UNLESS you’re still taking lessons. I mean Joanna Krupa took those lessons until she was 11. Ringer? No. Mya TAUGHT tap. Ringer? Yup.
Most every little girl in the world takes some kind of dance some time in their life – and probably just about every female ever on the show.
Oh, this would make me SO much happier than that Amazon Wendy! *g* I think. *LOL* Don’t get me wrong, I like Wendy, but I’ve always wanted Maks to get someone who wasn’t Amazonian in stature or have arms that flap about like awkward goose wings. I think I could live with this.
And lookit this! I’m agreeing with Heidi on her ‘ringer’ differentiation. 🙂 It makes sense. Lots of sense.
Yeah, I mean it doesn’t HURT to have taken some dance lessons but I know some really bad dancers that took ballet and tap as kids.
So wait, what male celebs are people speculating about? Chris Jericho…any others? I remember the poker guy (not sure how secure that rumor is any longer).
It is interesting timing considering the couples will probably be meeting this weekend if they haven’t already. I think Maks just flew to LA too.
This is a better option than wendy williams for sure. Maks could totally win w her.
It’s the same differentiation I’ve always used, evaine – it makes sense now because I’m applying it to a potential partner for Maks. 🙂 Seriously, there were cray-cray people trying to call Joanna a ringer because she took dance till she was 10 or 11. And that’s just whack no matter who her partner is. If Jodie were dancing with Derek, you can bet she would get that label too. But I think many people just want to see maks win one – including me, believe it or not. 🙂
Of course, if he starts talking smack about other couples again, I reserve the right to verbally abuse him. 🙂
LOL!!!!! You keep cracking me up!!!
Full House was my FAVORITE show when I was younger. 🙂 Well, you know, during that Friday night line up. I know that Jodie has been having troubles in the past, like an addiction or something. But she seems to be doing a lot better now with a new baby and a new husband. I would love to see her on the show. I don’t mind if Maks is her partner, either. 🙂
She appears to have a killer bod, that’s for sure.
Anyone else just see what Louis tweeted?? He annoys me.
*waves hand* Heidi, I never called Joanna a ringer. I couldn’t stand her after seeing her on that Superstars show that she and Maks (and many others) did (she was SUCH a bitch). Dance lessons as a kid don’t mean much in the whole scheme of things IMHO. And I don’t even think that Jennifer was a ringer – I just think she was an easy audience vote-getter. Mya, yeah, ringer. Nicole, yeah, ringer. I think I even thought of Lance Bass as a ringer thanks to his stint with the boy band and therefore his exposure to choreography. And I’ve had my thoughts on how much easier it might be for the skaters and the gymnasts having had dance training… but then, there are more bad habits to undo, aren’t there?
So, no, I’m not just agreeing with you because it’s a definition being applied to a potential partner for Maks. 🙂
Gay men rock!
Heidi: not that I disagree, but I recognize a troll when I see one and you best tread carefully. I’ve deleted you once and the next step is banning.
Yeah, I think lance went in a ringer, but Brooke and Derek successfully took it from him on natural ability. Jennifer was just a sentimental favorite – I fully expected brandy to give her a serious run for her money.
The gymnasts and the skaters are more about huge fan bases than they are strictly technique. Plus they are used to training too. Donny didn’t win because he had great technique, he was a guy with a huge and very rabid fan base. His audience demographic coincides with dwts viewers also.
I didn’t care for Joanna either at first, till Derek worked some kind of magic on her. Then, after the show I got to disliking her again from following her on twitter.
I was not aware of so many viewers disliking Joanna. I thought Lil’ Kim was disliked. I remember quite a few nasty comments about her ex-con status.
My son will be thrilled to see Jodi Sweetin on the show.
I hope the rumor is true 🙂
I hope this is true because she just might be the right partner for Maks. I don’t think she is too much of a ringer, but she did dance every once in a while on Full House, even if it was geared more towards hip hop. Depends on many factors, because Erin already had some experience too because she was a cheerleader. It just depends on how Maks harnesses that experience. If he pulls it off he can finally win! I hope everything falls into place w/ Jodie because I want to see MAks go all the way!
Jodi and Maks will be an interesting mix. She just had a baby too so she probably wants to lose the baby weight too. She will be another good partner for Maks and unless Nastia is on this season, I think Jodi can get Maks a win. He just has to avoid a bad freestyle.
I hope this one is true too. She and Candace Cameron Bure have been on my wish list. Career-wise, I think the show will benefit Jodi more right now. I wonder about the height differential between her and Maks though? Isn’t she on the shorter side?
I would think she’s around Anna’s height, Heather and Anna looks lovely dancing with Maks. Those heels, you know, they sure add inches! *g*
Oh boy…. I knew this was gonna happen. Her tap and ballet classes will make the ABC board go crazy. “No fair! She has dancing experience!” they will say. I knew the producers would bring in someone who took ballet as a child, just to make everyone crazy. Personally, I don’t care if she took ballet or tap as a little kid. I care if she can still dance today! Those people need to get over the dance experience thing.
Well if she’s on, I got a feeling that she got Maks but we’ll see!
Great work on the rumors, staff. I enjoy reading this forum, as you are knowledgeable and LIKE the show.
Well, I wouldn’t give the ABC boards too much weight – most people who post that kind of stuff are idiots. I don’t understand how sensible people continue to go there, unless it’s just because there is nowhere else to go to have a chat. And I can understand that. That’s why I got so involved here and took on PureDerekHough.
OK. So what’s your best guess on the rumors that turn out to be true? 😉 It seems to me that the run up to this season is leak-less…?
I was actually thinking of starting a DWTS blog a while back because I was looking for a place to discuss the show outside of the horrific ABC forums – but I’m glad I find this site, as it’s much better than I would have been able to do on my own anyway! 🙂
err found, not find. ME TALK GUD.
Heidi, that’s exactly why I go to ABC. I’m tired of “dead” forums or places to go where almost no one is talking. There is a DWTS forum that I’m a member of but there’s not that many people there and I’m not in love with how the place is set up anyway so I don’t go there that much. I also want to start new topics but I’m not a writer here so I don’t know if this site have an actual forum or not but I’ll look around. I could be a writer but not sure I can be trusted to take the time. Sometimes I have more time than others. I am considering of starting a new blog for season 12 since I had a lot to say on twitter about last season! We’ll see.
[…] won’t confirm or deny at twitter which leads many of us to believe Kirstie is doing the show. Jodie Sweetin -Jodie has been campaigning to do the show, has expressed her love of dance all of her life, and is […]
