DWTS Season 16, Rumor OR Campaign? Shannon Bex
Well, this one is interesting and I have to thank our regular reader Nathan for getting giddy because that drew my attention to this little gem much sooner than otherwise. ๐ So, is she tossing a hint to her fans? Or is she indulging in some wishful thinking? I don’t know her, so I have no clue. All I know is that she’s in Danity Kane and that Nathan loves her. ๐ Shannon’s web site reveals that she might be this season’s ringer, if she’s indeed on the show. ย In fact, Wiki lists her as a singer and a “professional” dancer so, I dunno. ย Of course, Mya was of that level, so… ย The only other potential drawback is that she was on NBC’s reality show Fame – but since that is long over, it shouldn’t be a factor.
I can’t decide. That she retweeted two people leads me to think campaign…but the time is right for a rumor or two. Hell…nothing is going on so we need something to speculate on, if nothing else. ย What do you guys think?? (Read from the bottom up, like on twitter)
I saw some of her videos , She is a amazing dancer, and she has some great hip hop choreo too.
I watched making a band, and I remember very little of her, she was always the other blond girl besides Audrey , I could never remember her name.
It’s a bit fishy too that the DWTS twitter retweeted her original tweet too. I wouldn’t mind. Been wondering when a Danity Kane member was gonna end up on this show.
Dang I loved danity Kane so I would be ecstatic if she was on. She does have extensive dance experience and that was one of the reasons she made the group because her singing was weaker link. I think she was a professional cheerleader. I wonder if she is well known enough though cuz danity Kane has been over for a while now
Bring her on if true!! I can see her with Tristan!!
I must be so out of touch… ๐ Okay, this is another name that has popped up this season that has left me clueless. Except for Kristie Brinkley, I don’t know who any of these people are.
I am hoping for surprises in this new cast, but with some of these bones that they are throwing our way I am left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
At least by being underwhelmed so far, it leaves one open to being WOWed and finding some new people to cheer for, and be excited about and finding (hopefully) a great season!
Oh yes, I was indeed happy to see this one. I LOVE Shannon Bex. She was my favorite of Danity Kane. Well, her and Dawn. But anyway, while I would love to see this happen, I do see some issues. First, the ringer situation. Although unless she is paired with Derek who I HIGHLY doubt will return, I don’t see a problem. But then again, Mya too was a ringer with lots of experience and wasn’t paired with Derek and still lost (then again, you have to count in the Donny factor). 2nd Problem I see is it has been quite a while since Danity Kane broke up. I believe they officially broke up in 2009, was it? And those ladies all faded out of the spotlight and have not been ‘relevant’, minus Aubrey O’Day, who was recently on the Celebrity Apprentice. In fact, I am surprised DWTS has not snagged up Aubrey yet. But anyway, back to my 2nd point, while she may end up doing well, how many will actually vote for her? We might have a Sabrina moment, is what I worry about.
But that being said, what made me get to getting excited was that the DWTS official Twitter page retweeted her talking about looking forward to VIEWING the next season. Now, the next couple of retweets were from everyday people. I wonder if whoever runs that Twitter page may not have realized that Shannon was a ‘Star’ and that by retweeting her, we all got to talking. Again, bringing me back to the second point of her not being remembered at all, when the people that run the show don’t even recognize her or realize they are lighting the wick so to speak, I don’t know.
But she’s blonde and HOT! ๐ Bring on Shannon Bex!!
i agree with nathan about aubrey. if they brought anyone from danity kane, i thought/think it should be her. she is the only one aside from dawn who has still relatively been in the spotlight since the group ended,. she has a much bigger fanbase than shannon, obviously has an affinity to reality tv, and seems to have that outlandish personality that these shows love.
Yo, what ever happened to that group Diddy put together with Dawn in it? Are they still together?
Dirty Money? lol i think they “peacefully disbanded” last yr. Dawn’s solo now and i think she just released an album. she’s freakishly talented, so i hope she finds success somewhere
Me too! I always thought she was the most talented. Shoot, maybe she could do DWTS ๐
I wanted her or Aubrey O’Day on this season! So I hope it happens!! ๐
Pair her with Tristan and we have a contender if she is indeed part of the cast.
I have been reading that people think it’s smart for celebrities to turn down DWTS. Why would they think it is smart?
Because they’re not very smart, ZazouGirl?? Regardless of what you think of the show, it’s still watched by 14 to 16 million people every week. If you need a boost, turning it down is not “smart”. Unless of course you’re worried that people will think you are a colossal jerk. ๐ And if you ARE, then maybe it is smart.
