DWTS Season 25: Rumors or Wishful Thinking? Gina Rodriguez and Michael Delorenzo
In the absence of ANYTHING concrete (yet), I was roaming around twitter looking for clues about celebs for next season of Dancing with the Stars. Looks like Michael Delorenzo would be up for it if they asked – check out his feed, as he’s talking about it a lot and using some interesting emoticons. 😉 I’m quite sure you’ll recognize him as a character actor from Blue Bloods, CSI Miami, and other things. Long resume.
Lets see if they ask ???? https://t.co/F2qzCzquCr

Secondly, thanks to Dee for the heads up that Gina Rodriguez is now following Sasha Farber! Guess who Gina is friends with? Derek Hough…the dude who said he knew someone that was going to be on this season. 🙂 I questioned Dee relentlessly since Sasha is way down on Gina’s follow list if you look on the actual twitter, however she says that Sasha was Gina’s most recent follow on the app she uses. Not sure how Twitter sorts all that stuff. Anyway, just in case – plus, it appears that Derek and Sasha are the only two DWTS folks she follows. I could be wrong since I can only go down so far in her list right now. I think she would be great and would give Sasha a real shot at the MBT, if she is on.
I say a big YES to the both of them if they are dancing this season. Gina has the goods to go far too. I’d love to see this happen.
i hope gina ends up on the show. she would be great
quick note: savannah cristly started following derek on twitter. she could also be the person that derek was refering to
I’m a HUGE fan of Gina so if she’s on I would love that. Her and Sasha would definitely be a duo I could see myself rooting for. Gina also is just a sweetheart that obviously has some talent as Derek’s guest spot on JTV shows. I think gina could definitely be the one to take Sasha to a MBT.
I’ve seen where some think that kelsea Ballerni (probably spelled that wrong) is the friend of Derek’s that’s doing it and I would not be opposed to her either. The few rumors that have circulated the past few days I am 100% okay with.
And if Savannah Christley was to ever do the show that would excite me. Her or her dad. I have been saying for years why have they not snatched them up. Good people that are funny and that I think could do pretty good on the show.
Love the possibility of Gina being on the show. She is hysterical
Oh how I would love Gina on DWTS! However Gina following Sasha on twitter is not new. She’s followed him for at least 2 years now.
Gina is 5’3 perfect height match for Sasha
Omg love Gina would die for her to be on. I will be sad not to see her partnered with Derek but would love her with Sasha or maybe Alan if he’s a pro. More likely Sasha tho.
Gina is the lead in an hour long show and in virtually every scene. She works 14-18 hours a day. Would be virtually impossible to do DWTS while “Jane The Virgin” in production.
I’ve never had any inkling that Savannah and Derek know each other.
Kelsea is a friend of Derek’s as is Karla from The Chew – I wouldn’t be shocked by it being either of them too.
We learned a long time ago to never say never when it comes to DWTS and who will make it work if it’s important to them. Normani had a tour of Asia going on last season when she started doing the show. She and Val had to fly to freakin’ Hong Kong and other places like that. THAT was crazy.
Never heard of Gina as far as I know
I think I remember Michael from a show called New York undercover
Thanks Amanda, I knew I should have researched more. Funny though, for me, he shows up as the last person she followed. Twitters always changing. I’d loooove to see her do the show but man I wanted her with Derek????
Huge fan of Michael Delorenzo – He use to dance back the day. Its been over 30 years though. I would love to see him as well. Been a fan of his since he was in the music video Beat It with “that’s right” with Michael Jackson!!! I think he’s trained in Ballet or Modern Dance..(not sure though)
These two would definitely make me want to watch ????????
I would LOVE to see Gina on the show; I’ve wanted her on the show for awhile. I’ve thought she may be a little too big for DWTS, or too busy with her TV schedule, but she would be an awesome casting choice.
Personally, I’ve always seen her paired with Mark, who would still be my top choice, but I definitely think Gina and Sasha’s personalities would mesh well together.
I adore Gina so much! There was an episode of Jane the Virgin where she and Derek danced and there was a small nod to DWTS because the judges raised “10” paddles :’)
I would DIE if Gina joined the show. I hope she does, especially with Sahsa. The two of them seem to have a similar sense of humor and would get along.
I think I’m in the minority here but I’m sick of DWTS being ‘The Derek Hough Show’. He’s a great dancer, seems like a nice person (never meant him I’m going off what I’ve seen on TV) but can we have a different pro win? The Chmerkovkiy’s (I’m including Peta) are great but one of the reasons I LOVED last season was because Emma who’s been stuck with crappy partners (Rick Perry) actually won. I want Mark come back that would be amazing but some other pros should have a promising partner for once. Last season was Sasha’s first season with an actual chance but I wasn’t surprised Simone lost there was no way they were going to let gymnasts win back to back.
Alan should be a pro he should of been one last season and he proved himself. And poor Keo he was stuck with Charo who was really annoying has been eliminated first or seacond every season except when he had Jodie Sweetin.
Derek’s been on two of the last four seasons and it’s the “Derek Hough Show”?? LOL…ooookay. Perhaps that should tell you something – like he’s the biggest star to come out of that show, eh? By the way, Derek hasn’t won DWTS since FOUR seasons ago. So, by DEFINITION, other pros have won. Since he’s won 6 times in 18 seasons on the show (one third of the time he’s been on) it’s quite obvious that other pros have won. :::rolls eyes::: Such ridiculous comments. Do better next time, Paige.
@Dee Well, I just logged onto Instagram and saw that Sasha followed Gina on there less than an hour ago. I know for a fact that they had followed each other on Twitter in the past but maybe Gina unfollowed him and just recently did again?? Maybe there is something in this after all… I would love them as partners on the show!
So anyone see Sasha tweet at Gina. He played with us a lot before last season trying to get us to think he didn’t get Simone. Would love this partnership so much though. If I can’t have her with Derek 🙁 or maybe and I’m reaching here… one of the returning pros is Derek and he came back for Gina. Unlikely but it’s fun to dream lol
@Taryn
I saw his tweet too. My first instinct was to think this is Sasha he’s like Mark and he likes to troll he’s probably seen some of us getting excited about Gina and has decided to mess with us. But then I thought back to last season when he did this making us think he didn’t get Simone and then he did. So I’m conflicted. I can’t tell if he’s trolling or if he’s acting like he’s trolling to confuse us and then he ends up having her as a partner. It was just really odd that he randomly tweeted her what he did. It seems as though a lot of people on twitter are luke warm to the idea of Sasha having her as a partner I personally love it. She’s a good size height wise for Sasha and they both I think have very similar senses of humor. I think they would click pretty well. So while I hope this is a partnership that works out I’m still confused as to what Sasha’s tweet means. Probably will be until we start getting more definite leak stuff that confirms what we’ve all seen.

I think I’m only lukewarm because I always saw her with Derek. Especially after he said she was his dream partner. That being said I’d be fine see her with Sasha and agree they’d be a good match. Hope she is on. I wouldn’t put it past Sasha to mess with us lol
Would Gina Rodriguez even be allowed to do DWTS while she’s on Jane the Virgin? She’s CW family. It’s not like PLL which was ABC Family or some Disney show.
@M8- Amber did the show while she was on Glee, which was on Fox, so I would imagine its possible.
M8- DWTS also shoots on the CBS lot that I believe also shoots Jane the Virgin (since CBS owns the CW), so I bet they could broker some sort of deal
CW isn’t a mainstream network like Fox, NBC and CBS. There have been plenty of people from non-mainstream networks that have been on.
Amber is the ONLY person who was currently on a mainstream network who still got on DWTS. But since we’re talking CW it’s irrelevant. Unless….who owns CW??
CBS owns the CW
The season that Amber was on DWTS she was a guest star, not a regular on Fox’s Glee also. She was on set only one day of her DWTS run to do some pick up for “The Quarterback.”
CBS and Warner BRother jointly own the CW
Is it possible that Kesha was the know person that Derek is referring to?
Would love to have Gina on. I think she has a delightful personality. I certainly agree with everybody who thinks she and Sasha would make a good pair. I did a little reading on Michael and I think he’s a good cast. Not sure, though, which among the female pros he’d be good with.
I doubt Gina would have the time to dedicate to DWTS. She’s the star of a successful show that doesn’t need publicity. She’s battling a disease that would only be made worse by the grueling schedule DWTS needs. I just don’t see how she could fit in both, or how it would benefit her to do it.
If Jane was off the air for a few years and her movie career never takes off I could see her doing it. But at this point she doesn’t need it.
I love Gina. I could just imagine all the people who will complain that she’s a trained salsa dancer tho lol. Either way I think she’d be great.
