Yay So happy that Sharna is the 13th pro. Now on to the cast reveal.
thank the lord π I love sharna and it would have felt strange not having her on now π
The best new I’ve heard all day! π
Awesome!!!! π
Yay, I’m happy! I can’t wait to see more of her choreography this year. I hope she goes far.
As others have mentioned here, I think we got played from the very beginning! Sharna knew and I have to wonder if her bf knew also and was just “playing with us” as well for added effect! Very glad, she’s on though!
Great news! Is there usually 13 or is this an extra team?
Would love to know the story behind this. With Paul’s tweets I feel that this 13th pro idea was not yet a done deal. Also with KB’s 15 second message about Jenna being in until Cheryl wanted in
It has to be an interesting story. They did get it right by keeping Sharna.
YAY!! So happy that Sharna, my favorite female pro, is back!!
@ Stoli- Aww, I’m disappointed if Jenna was really in. She’s an awesome dancer. She was my favorite part of James & Peta’s freestyle. I do like Cheryl but would have liked to see Jenna get a chance.
I agree with the other commenters. I’m happy that it’s Sharna, but I would have loved to see Jena get a shot. I think having another year in the troupe will be good for Jenna, though.
Also, I do have the feeling we have been played a little. Did you notice the word “finally” in the video? Kinda makes me wonder, but I’m sure our awesome mods can find us an answer, right? *puppy dog eyes*
Sharna may have found out later in the day…and I don’t think Paul would play with us. He’s not like that. I don’t think he knew and he blew up like we did. Then later, when he and Sharna might have had time to talk, maybe she told him then and that’s why he erased all of his tweets, etc. Either that or she didn’t find out until recently she was dancing. One thing I know is that I believe in Sharna and Paul and how genuine they are with all I am.
This announcement sure makes this previous post interesting: https://www.puredwts.com/2014/08/13/express-yourself-we-love-and-will-miss-sharna-burgess-on-dwts-and-heres-why/
I don’t think Paul would have posted such potentially-inflammatory tweets and then subsequently deleted them just for dramatic effect – I honestly don’t think Sharna knew for sure that she would be back until much later on. Hell, I like to think that the fans raised such a holy stink that TPTB found a way to include Sharna after all π
The more likely scenario, though, is that Sharna’s celeb partner was a late sign-on.
I also think her celebrity held out to the last minute. Will be interesting to see who it is.
Best news I’ve heard all week! The cast rumours haven’t been doing it for me, and thinking that one of my favorite pros wouldn’t be in the lineup really deflated me for S19. But now, I’m just beyond excited! Yay Sharna! I just hope she & her partner have a good shot of winning and TPTB don’t try to sabotage again.
Totally don’t agree we got played. There is a much simpler explanation and those are usually true. They likely told her that they couldn’t sign the guy they had in mind for her. He then ended up signing and voila.
Besides as much as I love Sharna, she isn’t a big enough name to “play” with.
“Finally” probably refers to the last few days.
Seriously doubt that the producers are this clever or Machiavellian
I definitely think that Sharna wasn’t signed up to be a pro this season for all of the reasons you guys named — her celeb partner was late to fully commit and also how people reacted to her not being a pro.
I’m so glad she is back because we need another non-blonde pro to stand out from the crowd and she is such a bombshell (and an AMAZING dancer — especially seeing her live)
Yay Sharna! So glad she is back. She is one of the few pros that I love watching. I wonder who her celebrity partner will be.
Phew!
Wow!!! I don’t care how is happened, I am just glad that Sharna will be gracing us with her presence on the dance floor again this season. I hope she has a partner with whom she can be creative and entertaining. Good Luck, Sharna!!!! almost (7) more days till we find out who. Can’t wait!!! π
PH, what does Machiavellian mean?
Here’s a link for Machiavellian…

Gonna have to agree with Courtney and PH on this one.
Jessica,
Let’s not discriminate against blonde pros. I for one, could never have enough blonde female pros.
Yay!!!
Hey, mods, I bow to your opinion. You certainly have more knowledge/experience with all things DWTS than I do! Just wondered if the new producer was really trying to make a statement with the pre-season announcements this year. (I’m in charge now and things have changed. Here’s a little shock for you!)
I’m happy to be wrong in case! π
* in this case.
I agree Meggie. It definitely feels like a different kind of punch right now with Robe Wade in charge.
I think all the suggestions and explanations about the late Sharna reveal that the Mods have stated make a lot of sense.
Sharna seems like a straight up, genuine person.
I’m thrilled she’s on the show and intrigued as to who her partner is.
Can Deepthroat find out? lol!
Nah….you’re forgetting the season not that long ago where Derek wasn’t dancing (supposedly) and maks was shown in a interview saying he was dancing…then a few days before the announcement Derek was suddenly in and Maks was out. Our heads were spinning trying to figure it out.
Sometimes, shit just happens. π
YAY! I was SO happy when I saw this little video on Twitter last night!!! Finally TPTB got something right!!
Welcome back Sharna!!!
HAPPY doesn’t begin to sum up what I’m feeling. Can’t believe that both of my wishes were granted. My least favorite pro is gone and my favorite pro is back!!! WTG Sharna π
And all is right with the world again π
How true! I am so happy I can now watch DWTS again without getting so
frustrated like last season. No Maks and Sharna back.
@John Definitely not discriminating π I love some of the pros (who by chance are blonde) but I sometimes have trouble telling them apart in fast-paced pro numbers because all I see is blonde!
if only Sharna would have shown us who was behind that door π So I really hope its someone good. After seeing what she could do with the good (Charlie), the OK (Andy) and the bad (Keyshawn) I feel like she is just one of the best pros out of the ladies because she takes everything with a grain of salt and focuses on her partner and his experience.
Yay!!!!!!! So thrilled Sharna’s in. Life is good again.
While I’d love to think all the fans frothing at the mouth in rabid rage made a difference, I kinda doubt it. TPTB don’t seem to give a hoot how we feel. Much more likely they were having trouble getting the celeb to sign and TPTB deliberately kept Sharna in the dark and let her believe she’d been passed over. That would be a passive-aggressive way to put her in her place for not playing along with their games last season.
I don’t know if this means anything . . . but at the end of the Ballroom with a Twist show in Honolulu on 8/20, when Val said, “Be sure to watch us on the new season of DWTS!” (or something to that effect), Sharna definitely/deliberately made a sad face. I was in the 4th row, so I had a clear view. π
