DWTS Season 20 Watchout Again: Is Russell Wilson the new partner Of Sharna Burgess?
I think Sharna Burgess might have followed Russell Wilson a few weeks ago, but, again….it makes one wonder if this is a serious partnership in the making for Dancing With The Stars Season 20? Thanks to Lauren for the heads up.
I would love Russell Wilson to be paired with Emma, as much as I love Sharna, she was just recently partnered with a football player.
And a one of the biggest ever ringers. While I do want her to have a contender I also very much want Emma to finally get one.
Well, all I can say is that there are probably reasons we aren’t clear on yet as to why Emma gets the partners she does (assuming you were talking to me, Jess, as you didn’t really make that clear). There are reasons for Tristan and Tony too, which I think are more obvious. I don’t think we know the reason for Emma, except that Michael was friends with Bill and asked for her. If that happens again, then that’s the partner she’ll get. A lot of the time, that is why a certain pro ends up with a particular celeb. They ask. And if they want that person on the show, they’re going to give them what they want.
There are TONS of reasons why celebs go to particular pros. Emma may not get out of the Bill/Michael type. And maybe she’s fine with that.
I think people need to understand that its not a bad thing that Emma gets partners who can’t dance. She’s got one the best/kindest personalities around and is very good to teaching to the level of a limited partner. Also I don’t see getting to dance with a legend such as Billy Dee Williams as a chore. I would be delighted & starstruck to be in his company & I think by Emma’s reaction showed that she was as well. I mean let’s be honest who would you rather spend hours on end in the training room with. Billy Dee Williams or Cody Simpson?? It’s not all about winning its about the friends you make and the people you meet which Emma gets completely. That’s why she’s endeared herself to so many viewers on the show.
On topic, fair play to Russell Wilson if he fronts up and actually does the show. I certainly wouldn’t if I’d just cost my own team the Superbowl. The jokes & teasing would be to much to take. 😀
I agree. Emma is magical and so fun with the people she’s had. I say YES to more of THAT!
My comment was a follow up to Sandy’s above mine but I didn’t make that clear at all. I don’t disagree that Emma is probably very happy with who she’s been partnered with and gained a lot of fans, myself included. And I don’t feel sorry for her, as I don’t feel sorry for Tristan. Only that I personally would like to see what she can do with someone more physically capable. Maybe she’d not shine, I don’t know. I just want to see. But I’m glad she’s on and will like her with whoever.
I like both Sharna and Emma, but Sharna already had a great partner in Charlie, Emma hasn’t. So I hope Emma gets a good one to show what she’s capable of. The Argentine Tango she did with Bill showed a glimpse of it.
Unless my memory fails me (always a possibility) when Emma was asked who she would most like as a partner she said William Shatner.
It would be interesting if they could also get a Patriot to do the show, too (I know they’ve been trying to get Rob Gronkowski). It’d be amusing if they got the Pats’ backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo (just Google him).
Sharna made magic with Andy and I’m sure glad they haven’t restricted her to only that kind of partner. But I agree there may be reasons for certain patterns. Not disputing that.
Wasn’t there a rumor that Sharna’s original S18 partner was Bruce Jenner, but he dropped out last minute, so they had to scramble and Charlie just ended up falling to Sharna? Could be wrong.
I think Emma and to a lesser extent Sharna are the two pros who don’t prioritize winning, and that’s why they end up with the partners they do. They just want to give their celebs a positive experience and let the chips fall where they fall. And that’s why I want them to have better partners because it makes me want them to win more.
Even I want to see Emma with someone who can actually dance..she’s already good with bad dancers..imagine if she gets someone who can dance..I’m sure she would create magic. (and to be sincere I didn’t like how a male pro made fun of her getting the bad nice dancers..)
I’m just gonna guess this doesn’t mean anything. Although if it does and he ends up being on the show, well, Sharna is a good partner for him. I think they make a very nice dancing couple. He doesn’t strike me as the type to be a natural mover so I’ll be very dubious about his dancing skills until I see him shake it on the dance floor 😛
I didn’t see it mentioned, but sharna and Russell posted a pick on Instagram a week ago of them dancing together in a studio. Is there any other reason than dwts that they would be dancing? It seems totally unfair to me if she ends up paired with him.
Russell Wilson has followed Sharna, Lindsay, Mark and DancingABC on twitter since last fall when he was in the studio with them and the pics of them together were done. He also follows Karina.
He clearly wants to do DWTS but I guess it’s a matter of timing for both him and DWTS producers. I wouldn’t mind him with either Sharna or Emma.
Thanks for explaining that Winter!
@Heather – I was wondering the same thing myself. The one guy kind of looked like Sasha from behind. hmmm…
Maybe someone on here can come up with some sort of explanation why they were in the studio with other dancers? Rehearsing?
Oh I guess Winter explained it.
Fascinating about the instagram!! I really wonder even more now if he’s not going to be on DWTS.
Ok, I just checked out the instagram. I remember it now. They took that picture last September when he stopped by the studios. It was during the same time that Kevin Hart and Josh Gad were rehearsing for their performance.
I bet Russell IS doing the show this season.
I bet so too Sandy! I wonder a bunch if Gronk will too. It would be fun to have two football players.
I think stopping by the studio just fueled his desire even more to do the show. Regardless of winning the super bowl or not. I think he’s IN!
that would be some pairing!
