TMZ Reports On DWTS Producer Wish List, Possible Celebs Dancing?
Ok, now TMZ is reporting on a producer wish list which includes some of our recent rumors. Hmmmm. Read the link for more and be sure to see a picture at the link as well….
We got a hold of the ‘DWTS’ producers wish list — the celebs they’re gunning to get for Season 19 — and it includes ‘Bachelorette’ Andi Dorfman, ex-UFC fighter Randy Couture, “American Ninja Warrior” contestant Kacy Catanzaro, and Antonio Saboto Jr.
Our ‘DWTS’ sources tell us they’re also trying to land a female YouTube star … who were told tens of millions of followers. It’s a smart ploy for a veteran show with aging viewers to pull in fresh, younger viewers.
This cast is not looking good way too much unknowns- I am a little worried
Andi Dorfman seriously? What on earth was so special about her? Yuck!
I don’t know but these potential rumors that I am reading about are just *meh*. I haven’t read of one celeb that has gotten me excited and anxious for the new season. Come’on DWTS don’t let me down this season.
I actually think a youtuber would be interesting. They hold a different sort of platform but they still have lots of fans.
If it is Bethany (like I’ve been hearing) that would be fun. Only because I’m a huge fan of youtube and have watched many of her videos (and she seems really sweet and spunky) — most likely to be paired with Val I’m guessing.
Bachelor/Bachelorette, really?
I know Lolo. I just worry because from the Olympic clips and interviews I’ve seen, she can be masculine in her movements so it may be a challenge for her partner. But I like her and would like to get to know her better.
I don’t know any of the other people, except for Sabato, which stinks but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a great personality and partnership in there somewhere so I’ll be open until I see them on the show.
I hope they get at least a couple of big names.
Ohhh noooo, not Andi Dorfman! Come on DWTS, you can do better than her. So far, I’m not familiar with the other “celebs.”
Kacy Catanzaro tweeted about working on a project in LA a few days ago, I think she has since removed that tweet though. I think she will be on, shes 5’0, good chance Mark will be her partner.
Didnt I read somewhere that the Bachelorrette Andi started following both Julianne and Derek. Hmm..
This cast is not looking to promising, I will give it a chance but I hope theres some bigger names.
I think Janel Parish is Val’s partner.
Interesting. LOVE Kacy. As for the youtube possibility…….I know a lot of people who worship youtube personalities but there are two that could be fun Grace Helbig and Sara Niemietz. Other than them, I don’t know any others lol.
Well, if this is their wish list, they didn’t soar too high, did they? I watched The Bachelorette, I saw nothing extra appealing about Andi, at all. She certainly is not a draw for me. I did watch American Ninja Warrior, I like Kacy. Lots of people won’t know her though but she is a spunky, cute girl. You tube stars? Really, producers? That’s what you came up with? Oh, my. I will say, in the past, there have been “celebrities” I was excited about being on the show but then I got to get to know them or see their attitude and they completely turned me off. For the reverse, there were “celebrities” I knew nothing about but because of their good attitude, work ethics and great personality, I grew to love them. The problem is without all the extra confessionals, it’s hard to get the know the person.
This is an interesting group. I’m actually most excited for Kacy, if they get her. She really inspires me. She’s really small, but also super-athletic. This video is of her in the Dallas Qualifiers for American Ninja Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mirMEsFI07o
And this is her in the finals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfZFuw7a13E
I’m taking the rumors with a grain of salt, though. I feel like we’ve heard 26 names being thrown out for this season, so we’ll see what happens. I just hope that there is at least one or two big name celebs for us to watch!
@Cheryl L. : I love Kacy’s spunk as well. She just seems very happy, driven, and down to earth.
I will say, Cheryl: being a YouTuber is becoming a legitimate career. These people can make money from making YouTube videos. Granted, I don’t know how much of a “star status” they should have, but it’s becoming a career in its own right.
Maybe they got Jenna Marbles or Grace Helbig. They are female YouTube stars with tens of millions of followers.
I’m hoping this isn’t true. The cast has been pretty great the past couple seasons but this looks bad. I hope the YouTube stars aren’t true. I won’t skip this season but I think I’ll bow out if/ when Karina/ Artem and Keo are out if this cast is true.
TBH, I don’t really mind this list of “celebrities”. I NEVER expect to get a cast full of people that I know. I know that will never be case so I don’t set my hopes too high.
Andi Dorfman? Whatever… I’m not Bachelor(ette) fan but I guess if they have to cast some reality star then it might as well be her. I haven’t had a problem with any Bachelor person thus far so I would give her a chance. The UFC guy could be fun. They’ve never had any UFC athletes so it would be fun. I’m not all that sure about this Kacy girl but, like Andi, I’d give her a chance. Antonio Sabato Jr. is one that I hope it’s true! He seems pretty much perfect for the show 😛 Oh and I would LOVE Lolo Jones to do the show as well! Now that’s a star, IMO.
And lastly, I REALLY hope we do get a YouTube star. YouTube is getting bigger and bigger every year and it would be nice to see a personality form there get noticed. iJustine wanted to do the show a long time ago and she would be so much fun. I would also love Grace Helbig, Jenna Marbles or Bethany Mota to do the show!
All these rumors and names are getting me so excited for next week!
@15- I could actually get on board with a YouTube star if it was Bethany Mota. She seems super cool.
they will probably put andi dorfman with Derek if she is 5’5″, I was hoping he would get a true celebrity instead of a reality star. Since she is after someone to tie her name to you know she will be all over whoever she is teamed with just to keep her name out there. Poor Derek or whoever she is paired with – it is going to be drama city with her and flirting, flirting 🙂
If having a YouTube star is true, I would personally like to see Glozell. She kind of reminds me of a young Nene.
If it’s true that Andi Dorfman has been cast, I’m praying she’s not with Derek. I don’t think I could pick up the phone to vote for her.
My sentiments exactly #Jane 5. I love Derek to ends of the earth but I do not think I could vote for Andi Dorfman.
@Ryan L. : Who is Jenna Marbles? Before I youtube her I figured I’d ask.
@ vin- I youtubed her and it seems like Jenna does a lot of different videos. She has some makeup tutorials and “Things Girls/Guys Do” stuff. Some weird “drunk” videos (scroll down her YouTube list and you’ll see what I mean) and vlogs.
I think the producers need to aim higher.
I agree #jo, I thought this was dancing with the stars and so far there are no stars in those that have been announced and now another 17 year old (Sadie Robertson from Duck Dynasty). I personally think that they should not have anyone under 21 on the show. I think it makes the pros nervous especially the male pros with having to dance with someone so young – just my personal opinion.
It wasn’t Andi that started following Jules and Derek, it was Sarah Herron. Although Andi might have too…but we were talking about Sarah.
I looked at Kacys twitter and it looks like shes now in new jersey about to vacation. Havent the couples started rehearsing now? Maybe shes nothing more than a wish, that didn’t end up happening.
Not sure where to put this, but Emma’s IG shows her headed to Atl today. If they take up 2 spots for Andi and her pick Josh I will be shocked, but a bit worried this could be what it means since they were rumored. Admittedly a Bachelor/ette watcher, but really can’t stand Andi. And the show wasn’t hugely popular with great ratings this summer so if they actually give 2 spots to them, I’ll assume they really had trouble filling a cast this season.
Only really intrigued by Janel and Antonio so far. Really holding out hope for Shania and then I’ll get excited. I do usually end up liking people I didn’t even know going in so not bothered by a cast who aren’t universally well known.
All those Bachelorette people besides Mellissa all just kinda are the same so I never can really remember the names that well. Jenna Marbles was……kinda funny. I think she would be good for the show in a weird way.
