Mark Ballas Asked On Whether He Will Come Back To Dancing With The Stars
In a new Entertainment Tonight interview with Mark Ballas and BC Jean, Mark is asked if he’d come back to Dancing With The Stars. He said, “Eh, not at this point… “I mean, never say never, but it’s a little early to tell.” More below. What I’d give to see Mark come back to the show….and Derek as the show is not the same without them!! I love the idea of BC dancing too.
As much as I love and miss him on the show. I hope he only comes back as a musical guest. He and BC are on to bigger and better things and he can hold his head up high with the way he conducted himself on the show.
DWTS is not the same show it was a few years ago and Mark has outgrown it and, in my opinion, is too good for it.
Having said that, if he really wanted to come back then it will be great to see him dance again.
I have to admit my selfish side would love to see Mark back for S-25 but only if his partner could be BC. The chemistry certainly would be there for sure.
I’d hoped they would do something special for season 25, like trying to get back some of the beloved old pros. I think Mark would be awesome with BC. I was surprised they never offered it to her, as she sang on the show several times. I could also have seen them wanting the drama of pairing her with another pro. Come back Mark, we miss you (please bring Derek with you, the show is nowhere near the same without you both)
I’d love to see him and Derek back but the way they’ve treated them the last couple of years I’m not sure it would be in their or their partner’s best interest. Fortunately they both have more opportunities than some of the other pros.
Yes, Narice, my “unselfish” side agrees; and if Derek or Mark are booked up with something better or more rewarding for their careers, I would rather they pursue it.
By now, they both know how the show works and doing their best with their partner to give her a great dancing experience has always been their soul purpose (like a few Pro ladies, who follow the same reasoning) and Mark did say “never say never.” Giving BC to another Pro instead of Mark would probably not be appealing to him, either.
I just got this thought that popped in my “far reaching” brain. What if Shania Twain was on S-25 w/ Mark and Derek w/ BC. That would sure boost the ratings up for the show? (although I would like it if BC was Mark’s partner)
Whatever goodies the show may come up with, I hope one of them is Alan in the cast list next month. He showed some possibilities in choreography last season and he is a great dancer.
It takes a lot of energy to straddle the line between nouveau grunge and glitter with grace, and the way DWTS seems to be going these days I think it would suck that energy out of Mark like a vampire.
I’m surprised that they didn’t do another all star season for season 25
Good point, Nukegrrl. I don’t trust the show’s manipulation history. If they would attempt to clean up their act this Fall, I think I would come close to having a heart-attack or at least faint!
Let me just tell you this, If Julliane can be paired with her boyfreind (who was country singer Chuck Whicks) in season 8; then why not pair Mark with BC. I’m not sure if it will get people voting them all the way to the finals and maybe the Mirror Ball (It probably won’t), but it would be great to see. Although I did mention on my wishlist that I want to see him with Paris Jackson.
