Dancing with the Stars Season 20 Rumor Patrol – Mama June?? Plus a Wild and Crazy GUESS!
Lord have mercy. Surely NOT? Thanks to Charlie, in the comments, I went on a little search and found this:
Now, of course, there are 500 things that she could be having meetings about in LA. But, there are STILL two male pro spots open, presumably because those celebs haven’t signed on the dotted line yet. So…just throwing this one out there as a possibility. The timing is frightening. I hope this is just fear on my part, considering her recent past – but I can’t ignore the timing.
BTW, Mama June has been rumored before….for Season 16.
We called her a “longshot” in our Rumor Round Up for that season. Let’s hope that’s still the case. Perhaps they met with her because another female celeb fell through. Have a hard time believing the DWTS producers would go this route at this time, all things considered.
Now, for my wild and crazy GUESS at a possible celeb dancer. Surely there are a lot of people who think ONE thing when they keep hearing the tag line for season 20?? “Our ‘Perfect 10’ Season”?? BO DEREK. Just throwing it out there. It took me a while to figure out why a little bell rang every time I heard “Perfect 10” – then last night it hit me. Bo Derek was “the perfect 10” in the movie “10” with Dudley Moore years ago.
Just tossin’ that out there just in case. 😉 I have no insider knowledge on this one, but their harping on “perfect 10” has been bugging me since I heard it.
I know I shouldn’t but I had visions of val and mama june lol I would pay to see those training clips :))I could see keo and bo Derek tho …interesting rumours
EEK to Mama June. Oh no, I don’t even want to think about it. lol
But, YES to Bo Derek! It would be so cool!!! Good job on that one Miss!!
Oh, please no! You’d think that they’d aim a lot higher, especially for Season 20… but as you said, it could be anything else and let’s just hope it is.
If this did happen (which, as I said, I really hope it doesn’t) I honestly wouldn’t wish her on any of the pros. Wait, maybe Louis. 😀
I already wrote a paragraph on my thougts of Mama June in another post before I saw this so I’ll just summarize: Please for the love of God no Mama June.
If she is, by any chance, on this season I hope they give her to Tony and they’re eliminated first. Not sure how much I’ll be able to take from that woman. Even more so if her little Honey BooBoo is in the audience. Oh dear.
Now about Bo Derek; didn’t know who she was but she looks pretty and seems to have had a pretty lengthy career so I kinda hope you are right about that one, PH.
She does say in her Instagram post that she hopes to share her news ‘today or by Monday’… so we can be hopeful that this is just something else, because obviously she wouldn’t be able to say anything until Tuesday if she was in the cast.
I should remind people – the Bo Derek thing is NOT a rumor. It’s just a guess on my part because of that phrase they keep using. 🙂
I guess technically Mama June isn’t a rumor either. But it’s not wishful thinking either. I guess, technically that is half rumor, half guess.
The only thing I take comfort in with regards to Mama June is that ABC might consider her a toxic asset, given the scandal surrounding her former (and now current) boyfriend being a convicted child molestor that molested her oldest daughter when she was only 8. That’s what got “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” pulled from TLC…and I’m hoping that’s what keeps Mama June off DWTS.
Joanna – I hope you’re right, but I have to point out that you’re thinking Mama June is smart and aware of the timing required. 🙂
@Princess Heidi: Haha, good point – and I definitely don’t think Mama June’s one to know what she’s on about. 🙂
@Courtney: That ran through my mind, too. It wasn’t just a normal cancellation of a show but it instead received a lot of controversy because of her actions… and it’s not like they could let him in the audience to watch her, if he was on.
I’ve gotta say regardless, they’re doing a good job at keeping this cast under wraps. I honestly have no idea what to expect on Tuesday!
Earlier this week TMZ reported that Mama June and clan are in LA shopping a new version of their show since HBB was canceled. Lets hope they are correct and it’s not DWTS.
It begs the question – if one show was cancelled what makes them think they can get a new one?
Mama June…oh my God, NO!!! That woman is beyond disgusting.
On the other hand, I would be over the moon if PH’s leap of intuition, wishful thinking, whatever you want to call it, is on target because I’d love to see Bo Derek on DWTS. A get like that would be the right way to celebrate DWTS’s 10th anniversary.
Now this is hysterical. Usually I would say hell no but I’m gonna say “Bring her on” lol. And as for Bo Derek, hells yes! Now that is something I never would have thought of at all.
Mama June? Please, NOOOO! I haven’t seen even one episode of her show, but I’ve read enough about her to not want her on the show. But definitely YES to Bo Derek. Such a beautiful lady. Hope you are right on this one, Princess H.
Courtney- great point. I hope that ABC would not put her on the show because of her relationship with a child molester…who molested her own child. But if for some insane reason she does make it on the cast this year she will hopefully be gone week 2/3. BO DEREK…yes please!
Bo Derek!! Now that’s a great guess. Who could ever forget Bo Derek in her beaded braids and bathing suit… Wow she’d be awesome!
If DWTS cast Mama June this season then they have officially stooped to a new level. She is beyond disgusting. Casting her may make me consider only watching clips of my favorites online, and axing the show all together this season.
Ewww!!!!! I do not want to watch her dancing around! That whole family is just rediculous! I would rather have Larry the cable guy because he’s just as redneck but at least he’s funny!
Since we know we aren’t having 10 couples, the emphasis on “perfect 10” has also been bugging me. The interesting mention of Bo Derek’s “10”, made me wonder if the number 10 might be related to all the contestants this season. I know it might really limit the casting choices and the show probably can’t be that choosy, but maybe that will be the theme. I can think of gymnasts having a perfect 10, or an athlete having a #10 jersey. Maybe an actor whose show was on for 10 seasons or someone with a top 10 hit.
Just a wild thought I had.
Another Perfect 10 that came directly to my mind was: Mary Lou Retton the gymnast. Incredible!
Meant to add: Mary Lou is very short. Sasha would be the ideal partner. Just saying.
Just looked it up. Roseanne’s show was on for 10 years (and Robert Kennedy has 10 siblings, lol).
Sandy, was it you who guess David Cassidy the other day (since he’s having money troubles? I’d love for him to dance.
Yes it was! I would love me some David. 🙂
Hmmm… Speaking of gymnasts Nadia Comaneci (the original perfect 10) appears to be currently in LA for an event with Shawn Johnson…
@KJ – Wouldn’t it be cool if we were really onto something. 🙂 I had forgotten about Nadia being the first perfect 10. Gee, how time flies.
I like the “perfect 10” theme, but could TBTB really pull that off? I mean, they’d have to really narrow down the choices to make them fit the theme – or really really make a long stretch for some celebs to fit. Interesting, though.
I can really get behind Bo Derek and/or Nadia Comaneci doing the show! Either one would be a great get.
Tuesday can’t get here soon enough. While the Pro announcement is certainly on my radar, it’s still much ado about nothing for me – the excitement doesn’t really start for me until the celeb reveal. I certainly have my favorite (and not so favorite) Pros, but it’s all about the partnership, the chemistry, the journey. IMO
You’re right, Linde. Pulling off the “perfect 10” theme properly could be tricky (if that’s even what they’re thinking). What a coup if they could get the likes of Bo or Nadia (not holding my breath). Still, I hope they have one or two pleasant casting surprises for us on Tuesday.
The pro reveal is the appetizer, and I definitely have my favorites in the pro ranks, but it’s not really DWTS until we know the season’s celebs, even though I have to google most of them these days. 😉
As the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and for me it’s always been about seeing how the pairings develop as a partnership (that’s my idea of a journey). After that, I want to see which of the couples with genuine chemistry also have something to offer on the dance floor, because for me, “it don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing”.
You get my drift so I’ll stop with the cliches. Is it Tuesday yet?
There have been reports “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is being revamped as a modern day “Beverly Hillbillies” with Mama June and the kids being set up as new residents of Beverly Hills. Hilarity ensues. So Mama June’s tweets could be about this. Let’s hope to GOD that’s the case. We do not need her ilk on DWTS.
LOL Cidra, couldn’t agree more. Doo Wap Doo Wap Doo Waa
I’m at the gym Tuesday morning so will miss the live announcement, but you can bet I’ll be checking in on PDWTS for the update while getting out of my sweaty clothes – not a pretty sight, but hey …priorities right =)
whoever the cast, looking forward to another fun season
I hope the rumor is true about Mary Lou Retton, I remember watching her years ago when she won the Olympic All Around, it would be great to see her again. I would love to see Russell Wilson compete as well. Mama June, not so much. The allegations that she got back together with that guy after he was released from prison for molesting her oldest daughter were terrible. I hope that ABC does not give her the attention that she wants by casting her on the show.
It could be Bo Derek, but wasn’t a 10 also used in skating or gymnastics?
