DWTS20 Peta Murgatroyd And Michael Sam Talk With Access Hollywood, Cast Arrival Parking Lot Photos
I’m liking Peta Murgatroyd And Michael Sam’s partnership so far!! You can listen to another interview with them after the cast announcement below. Also, if you’d like to see Peta and some of the other cast members arriving to rehearsals yesterday, see the Daily Mail and Getty Images.
i like their groove – can’t wait to see them dance.
I haven’t seen everyone interviewed, but so far the only awkward/off vibe i get is from Rumer/Val.
looking forward to a great season.
Same here Linde…the only off vibe I’m getting is from Val and Rumer too.
I got same vibe from Val and Rumer. It was awkward and saw no chemistry. Also wondering why ppl are making comments on other sites that Peta and Michael will be first to go. He’s an athlete and should be able to handle choreography. She’s got a good fan base.
I would just like to say that I was really glad to hear Peta say it was “awesome” to have Derek back for Season 20. I know they have danced a lot outside of DWTS and seem to have a friendship but there is so much fan hate from certain groups right now that it’s nice to see a pro say something positive. And I wish Michael and her good luck, I’m disgusted by some comments I’ve seen about him on other sites. To me they look like they can do a lot of athletic dances and lifts and we won’t get the showmance comments. Actually I think it would be a pleasure to have a NO showmance season and just see some really good fun dances from all the celebs.
I can’t wait to see Peta and Michael and all the couples dance…everyone of them. I am not seeing any animosity from the pros when asked about Derek. This is the 10th year anniversary of DWTS so why wouldn’t they want to try and grab an opportunity that arose at the last minute for Derek to be involved. I like Peta and she has been really impressing me and showing her talent lately. There are Pros who are really dedicated to DWTS and love their job.

I am also hoping that we have a showmance free season. A couple can have good chemistry without having to topple it with fake romance. Kellie & Derek had great chemistry and their Super-style contemporary was awesome! And, I loved Shawn Johnson with Mark and also with Derek…again great chemistry. i think we are going to see some good dancing during this season. I’m chomping at the bit counting down the days!! 🙂
@KreativeKat I didn’t mean to imply the other pros said anything negative about Derek. Other fan groups certainly have but I just liked her positive response about him being part of the show.
@Liz
I know you didn’t intend to imply the other pros said anything negative about Derek, sweetie, I was just expressing my thoughts that it was nice that the pros respond so nicely when ask about Derek being back. I could have hugged Peta with the answer she gave the interviewer. It just makes gets sickening all the animosity and the bashing on Derek just shows so much immaturity, and I am just glad that the Pros are super with each and act mature. If they can be excepting and happy, people should be ashamed to be talking and posting on other sites all the trash (made-up) accusing him of all kinds of stupid stuff. It nice to come here and socialize during the dance season with nice & kind people like you all.
I don’t know about you, but I’m chompin’ on the bit counting the days ’till Mar. 16th. 🙂
Visually they’re such a stunningly beautiful couple. Hoping they go far.
This is one of the couples I am most looking forward to seeing how they perform. I am super excited about Michael’s potential and I really hope for his sake that they do well. He doesn’t need to win a mirrorball to win people over – I just hope he approaches this with a good attitude and a strong partnership with Peta. The implications for the future of openly-gay athletes are if not significant, at the very least it’s a consideration.
