Who Do You Think is DWTS Season 23 Artem Chigvinstev’s Partner – How About Maureen McCormick?
The Dancing With The Stars instagram account teased on Artem Chigvinstev’s partner. Read below. Do you have some guesses? A fan named Kennedy wrote and said they think it’s Maureen McCormick. I looked up the hints and it’s true for how these hints fit. This Brady Bunch star has been on my wish list forever. I’d love to see her dance. So, what do you think in helping us to put it together and do you have other guesses that fit?
jamie lynn spears also fits the hints. She started acting when she was 9, has a new york times best seller book, and she just released a country album a few months ago.
What about Beverly Mitchell? 🙂
beverly mitchell started acting at age 15
Maureen McCormick would be awesome! The Brady Bunch was/is television gold. Love her.
Couldn’t agree more, Sandy. I loved that show. I think I’ve seen every episode atleast a hundred times. lol
It’s Maureen McCormick or Beverly Mitchell, the only two who fit the criteria perfectly. Jamie Lynn Spears isn’t a published author,
She really has done a lot outside of “Marcia Brady”….had no idea. This could be a fun pairing. Just please no tango to the Brady bunch theme lol.
@Vogue – LOL! I still watch BB if I see that it is on. One of my favorite episodes was the one with Davy Jones.
My money is on Beverley. I did the math and it’s a perfect fit; Maureen actually started acting at 8.
Hmm.. This could be something or nothing. Is there anyway that Maureen is the announcement in 8 days that is affiliated with the IntegratedPR that was mentioned on a previous post? In just looking over her twitter she has retweeted something from them…. Random?
Oh man, the Davy Jones episode is one of my faves too. lol Hilarious!
I’m leaning towards Beverley Mitchell. Wikipedia has her first TV role in 1990 so she would have been around 9. She’s going to be filming a show with Jodie Sweeten. She also filmed a movie earlier this year that is dance related. I don’t know how much dancing was involved with her role but there was at least one dance scene filmed for her character from what I found on IG.
Interesting Sandy and they’ve tweeted on her before and they’ve also posted on her at their FB. The plot thickens. lol
Dolly Partin’s name has also been mentioned by someone. That would be pretty big as I presume she has a big following.
Yeah, but if you google both Maureen and Beverly there are conflicting articles about their actual ages when they started acting. One article for Maureen says age “6” while another article for Beverly says age “4”.
I’m not sure about Wikipedia information. Does anyone know how accurate it is?
Personally I’m hoping that Maureen is cast over Beverly. While they are both great, Maureen seems to have bit more sass.
I love Brady Bunch my favorite all time tv show. The clues certainly fit I have her cd and book .I couldn’t find a book by Beverly .I doubt Dolly because she’s on tour through Dec .
“Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!”
I think Maureen would be an appealing contestant. Lots of nostalgia there.
I think it’s either Maureen or Beverley and of the two I would prefer Maureen, I just think she’d be more fun.
I’m hoping it’s Jamie Lynn Spears or Beverly Mitchell.
Maureen retweeted integratedPR? I call that a done deal. That’s pretty…coincidental if it’s not her.
Anyone can update Wiki pages – always be suspicious of them.
Not sure Heidi – She has tweeting a bit of Olympics stuff. And the tweet from IntegratedPR was about Simone Biles winning the Gold. So it could be just that.
Another interesting tidbit, she has a photo of her and Florence together sometime around August 9 or so.
And they’ve tweeted on her and at Facebook as well.
I’m here for DWTS Facebook page meltdown when they find out Artem has a 60 year old partner. Combine that with Tony not being on this season and they may just spontaneously combust!
Honestly, you do have a point M8. But boy I hope your wrong. I’ve gotten myself so excited that Maureen could possibly be doing the show that I will be brokenhearted if that’s not the case.
And Maureen makes it known on her twitter page the references to her book as well as the Brady Bunch.
Okay, I’m getting carried away I better step away and breathe slowly into a bag. Calm down, Sandy… Calm down.
I wouldnt be surprised if Beverly did the show at some point! I’ve seen posts on instagram and she appears to be friends with Alfonso and his wife, plus the Jodie Sweetin connection as well mentioned earlier.
@M8 – Just wait – the biggest meltdown is yet to come. I’m guessing immediately after the cast announcement on Tuesday…
Even though Maureen is 60, I consider her to be a tv legend like Valerie Harper. If they aren’t happy, they are nuts.
LOL Court!!
Hi guys! Been lurking in the off-season, but now that the rumor mill is in full-force and the show’s return is coming fast, I’ve been checking in tons and love all the tidbits. The Maureen McCormick one seems very, very solid. Good get and I’m personally fine with Artem taking on a “Tony-esque” role on the show.
As far as meltdowns, could it be Derek with another gymnast or someone of equally-high ringer appearance? I could see a lot of fans giving tons of backlash at him “always getting the good ones”.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if Derek did come back this season with a good partner, and that it’s also the same season both C bros, one of whom “retired”, are on?
I mean if the stars aligned that way, it would be pretty friggen awesome.
@ Figamentation
Though IF Derek is back and got a “ringer” it’s more than likely that she requested him and that’s why he’s back, same as Nicole and Jennifer.
Looking forward to it Court! Spent many a good minute laughing at the posters on that page and will continue to do so. Hope you’re having/had a good summer Fig, good to see you back as the season approaches. And Sandy I wouldn’t worry, Maureen sounds solid for all the reasons above and she ticks the box of the nostalgic older actress that Deena always tries to cast, like Kim Fields, Suzanne Somers etc.
I thought it was interesting Hallmark Channel just started airing The Brady Bunch for several hours every afternoon. Completely took Little House off. They haven’t done that in years.
Oh totally, Geri – and reasonable fans will understand that. But those that choose to buy into that narrative will complain about it regardless. Heck, I know fans of his that think exactly that and like him in spite of that perception, no matter how often you present them with the reality and the reasoning.
But if TPTB have a huge get and their strongest pro, they’re probably salivating at the Emmy possibilities. I can’t really conceive of anyone else that would spur a meltdown. Heck, maybe Derek and Val or Derek and Mark both have gymnasts and they’re going to pit Simone and Laurie against each other lol.
Omg heather, thanks for letting me know. lol
What other pro beside Derek would cause a meltdown? I can’t think of any. My memory isn’t always on point but didn’t a similar scenario happen before with Derek. He was a surprise announcement on GMA.
But back to Maureen… Thanks Heather. I have to set my DVR.
I have an idea on who dereks partner(if derek decides to do this season) could be, katie ledecky(olympic swimmer. She is going to school in california, and they could figure out to make it work like they did with nastia lukin back in season 20. plus i read online that the producers want her on the show.
Gee, matthew, ya think you maybe read it here? https://www.puredwts.com/2016/08/16/dwts-season-23-watch-out-ryan-lochte-to-dance-on-dancing-with-the-stars/
i did i do think that if derek can do the show, katie would the best partner for him because her hours is limited also
If Artem does have Maureen and not Beverly Mitchell who is much younger, I hope he isn’t internally disappointed at not getting a younger body. He won’t know the Brady Bunch, but the DWTS demo & most Americans do. I don’t know Mitchell & have zero attachment to her. But Marcia Brady, I’ll vote for her like my childhood depends on it!
So happy Lindsay got a football player. I have no idea who Derek has but I can envision a final 3 of Derek, Lindsay & Mark. Dying to know who Gleb has. If they went to all this trouble to bring him back, I would hope they wouldn’t give him an older, not very agile, partner.
Just waiting on Super Tuesday.
Well, I would rather see Artem get a younger girl for a change…You have to be fair to him…
Give Derek the older ones, instead of the younger ones…It’s his turn for a change, because, he’s been gone 2 times and he’s back again…
Dawn, quit being an idiot – we don’t care for that here. The very fact that Artem is on the show gives him a leg up over hundreds…if not thousands of dancers…out there. Fair? There is no fucking fair. DEAL with it.
Derek has had older partners, heavier partners, a partner with no feet, models who couldn’t move (and who had serious baggage) and yet he continues to kill this show. LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT because I am no longer putting up with this stupid, ignorant train of thought. I’m just going to start deleting stupid. I am DONE.
I would be happy if Artem did get a younger partner that didn’t have the personality clash after Mischa. So there’s no guarantee that younger will work. I like Artem & would love to see him go far. I’m just saying IF he does get Maureen, that’s not a bad thing at all & I hope he knows that. She brings a lot of happy feelings for the voting demo. I get she’s not a gymnast but she isn’t a dud by any stretch.
I will NOT watch my language Dawn. Last chance – after this you’re on moderation.
LOL Dawn, Derek has had older people, someone with no feet even, over weight people and the list goes on. My goodness….here is Artem with a tv legend and with someone who is entertaining and who possibly can dance. She’ll have a voting base too, but fans like you will turn me and others off from voting for them. Think about it.
PH is tearin’ it up 2 nite!
Maybe Maureen will be like Donny and Marie. Certainly not the best dancers but brought the feels for those who grew up watching them. Maybe she can pull off a Donny and win anyway.
I love seeing Derek get someone who is a challenge. He brings out the best in them. While I am not a fan of hers per se, I wanted him partnered with Paula Deen. She would have gone a lot farther under Derek than Louie. I know she requested Louie but her best week was with Mark. Because, like Derek, he brings out the best in his partner.
Can’t wait to find out the final partnerships.
Oldest female winner is Jennifer Grey and she won with Derek as his partner. Just saying.
Sorry for double posting. Meant to say “Derek as HER partner”
SORRY.
I see that some fans still think that Derek gets the younger and the able-bodied ones all the time. SMH.
I think Artem is lucky to have another partner this season, considering that he did not do well with a young celeb in the spring season. I have not seen even a single episode of The Brady Bunch, but based on the comments of those who have seen and followed that show, I’d say that Artem is blessed to have Maureen.
@nobleze – What!! You’ve never seen a single episode of The Brady Bunch? How is that possible? lol!
LOL, @Sandy! I’m from Asia and I don’t think any TV network in my country syndicated it. But I am familiar with the movie version shown in the 90s, I think.
