Brooke Burke Charvet’s Dancing With The Stars Dream Cast And The Formal Selection Process
Brooke told the Huffington Post that she hasn’t heard any rumors yet on the new cast of Dancing With The Stars, but, says she can understand them wanting to keep the Kardashian thing going (please no Brooke! I don’t understand it at all.
). Below is what she says about her dream cast….
“I have always said Oscar De La Hoya — I don’t know if he would ever do it — because I think he would be a blast,” Brooke dishes. “I think a quirky crazy one, because we always need one crazy, is Richard Simmons. I would love to see Suzanne Somers. She would be great.”
Although Brooke says she is not involved in the formal selection process, she does note that over a bottle of wine at dinner with cast members, the group does make a great “wish” list that often gets the producer’s attention.
And Brooke’s quick to add that the show does like controversy, so you never know — Rick Santorum are you listening?
Be sure to read the full story at the Huffington Post.
So, what do you think of her dream cast if the producers are listening? I think Richard Simmons and Suzanne Somers would be excellent choices.








No and no. I’d rather see Pee-Wee Herman and Jenny McCarthy in place of those two. Or Johnny Weir and Leah Remini(fired from the Talk). Richard Simmons is just “too frantic”. I guess Suz Somers might be ok but she did lots of Vegas shows so won’t there be all the usual griping….Oh no, probably not cause she wouldn’t be partnered with Derek and that’s the only time anyone brings up the “ringer” subject. It’s ok if they dance with Maks or Mark or…….anyone else.
LOL Isn’t hat true, Mimi! If Suzanne Somers would get Derek as a partner, there would be fans calling her a ringer, but, not if she were to get someone else. Even if she were a ringer, so what? I, for one, want to see some really good dancing on DWTS.
Rick Santorum?! The election didn’t even happen yet and people are throwing his name out lol. I’m guessing if he doesn’t get the nomination (which is probs going to happen since he isn’t as popular amongst the republican majority) than its a possibility but there is always the VP possibility as well.
As for Suzzane Summers: YES! She is a perfect fit for Damien!
@vin – Yes, Suzanne and Damian would be awesome. But I don’t know if the producers of DWTS will ever put the lovely Aussie back on the show. I scratch my head over that one, I just don’t get it.
@Sandy: If not damien then Thristan. Either way I’m good. I want Derek to get a reality star this season. Just to switch it up.
Sorry, accidently hit submit. Becuase Derek has had the singer, the actress, the model but not the reality star.
He’s scary. I hope DWTS, the GOP, etc will never pick him. This statement the other day was so hateful and judgemental; http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/01/07/399942/santorum-tells-kids-with-gay-parents-youd-be-better-off-with-parents-in-prison/
Lol to pee wee herman Mimi!!!!!! I think thats a great idea!!!!!!!
@Voguerista : I ahte him too but I like him better than Ron Paul and Rick Perry.
Oscar De La Hoya?? He wouldn’t wear that full-body fishnet thing again, would he?
But seriously, I’m with Mimi on the “No and no.” Also, no to PeeWee. And a REALLY BIG NOOOOOOOOOO!!! to Taylor Armstrong!
@Sally – I agree with you 100%… NO, just NO! Unfortunately PeeWee kept popping up alot last season, sometimes that is a sign of things to come. I think he is creepy.
Richard Simmons did some backstage interviews and it was almost too much to bear. Let’s leave him behind the scenes please. The only YES, that I have is for Suzanne Somers.
Vin, I think it is time for Derek to have the athlete, someone like Sasha Cohen or Tanith Belbin, Joni Rochette or Nastia Luikin.
What I would really love to see is Derek with the K-Pop Japanese singer, BoA Kwon (His co-star in the Cobu 3D movie). It would be so neat to see if she could adapt from Japanese hip-hop to ballroom style dancing. Of course, peoples heads would explode, the world would stop turning on its axis and Maks would have an even more total meltdown!!!!!
@ Mimi … +1 to your entire your post!!! (meaning ITA with everything you said) lol
The only reason i don’t want derek to get the athlete is because the athlete is always viewed as the one to beat off the bat and the judges always try to hget the athlete into the semi finals (ex. hope)
So Vin, I’m not really familiar with your views but am I gathering from your post that Derek just shouldn’t be paired with someone who could possibly win or be interesting to teach ??? I believe all/most of the other male pros have worked with an athlete and from the way it has turned out it is less than a 50/50 shot as to whether there is a good result. Off the top of my head, only Mark? got very far. I just was thinking more along the lines that Derek would find it interesting to teach from a different aspect and work with someone athletic. Mybe I am misunderstanding your post……
No thats not it at all. I am A HUGE Derek fan. I’ve tended to notice that reality stars never win . Therefore I want Derek to get one.
If Derek gets the athlete, he will get added pressure and I hate to say it but most athletes don’t win the show. I want Derek in the finals and if he had to deal with all the ringer stuff before giving him an athlete will not help the case.
Sorry last post: Giving hi mthe reality star would allow him to show that he can terach anyone how to dance and silence his haters.
Well, frankly what I am hoping is that tptb are working on “The Ringer Season” because its about time that we all get to see some blow your mind choreo that MOST of these pros are capable of.
And my biggest nightmare…I can watch Derek do anything/and nothing and be in heaven, BUT if they pair him with Snooki I think my “squirm meter” will be so high I won’t be able to watch. The Situation was greasy but she is beyond description.
I wasn’t thinking of Snooki lol Maybe J-Wow from Jersey Shore or an Idol contestant or (and this is a long shot since a lot of people don’t know what this show is suprisingly) an ANTM winner.
or more specifically: an ANTM winner that isn’t Adrienne Curry
I just had a GREAT idea for a star to appear next season…Bo Derek—the original “10″ OMG, I wonder how many times they have already asked her. She used to be very proud of her athleticism and equestrian abilities, quite competitive (currently lives with John Corbett, I think). Surely she has a cause or book or something to promote.
Another great one who might just do it on a dare, because he’s athletic and competitive, is Rob Lowe.
Mimi, I love those two ideas!!
This is terrible but I had to google Bo Derek. Never heard of “10″ either. Is it good?
Vin-I don’t know about “good” but it is so iconic as it is where the whole “rating” of women (and I guess maybe men, too, now) came from. Have you ever heard, “how do you rate her on a scale from 1 to 10″ or ” she’s a 10″. Bo Derek was considered a very hot “10″, I can remember all my aunts and mom talking about it eons ago. So yeah, you should see it for “historic” reasons. HA!
I watched it last night. I would say she was a 8.5. She is pretty but not that pretty. A couple of examples of a ten in my book are Reese Withersppon, Kym Johnson, and (this is going to sound very stereotypical coming from a guy) Adriana Lima.
Liked the movie though.
….glad you enjoyed the movie. ANYWAY, the reason this whole topic started….She (Bo) could possibly be a contestant that could motivate a lot of curiosity and interest. Specially with part of the age group that is supposed to be a large portion of the audience for DWTS. i love thinking about various possibilities for this show, if they might be able to dance or learn to. If they are really like they seem or if thier personalities end up being completely different than we always thought. How they react to pressure, if they really want to commit to being good, are team players and on and on. I love all the possibilities.
I would like to see a show of contestants that came in 2nd or 3rd compete against each other. The dancing would be great from week one. I’ve seen other shows bring back past contestants to compete against each other and it was fun.
I say get Tim Tebow! He is on fire right now and DWTS would have more viewers than ever before!
