DWTS Season 11 – Rumors, Innuendos, Lies and Jokes?
UPDATE – This is why I always couch everything as a rumor or as a possible joke. 🙂 Because DWTS is a Pop Culture phenomenon along with American Idol. So, when ex-football players have a few drinks or are being just plain silly and are asked what they’re up to, they say “Dancing with the Stars”, of course. 🙂 And when people need attention, desperately, they tell other people the are going to be…wait for it…on Dancing with the Stars.
Don’t get me wrong – I think it’s HILARIOUS. Why? Because I’m pretty careful with how I word things…but others aren’t. 😉
What am I talking about? Well, if you haven’t heard by now, Troy Aikman was joking. Supposedly. Either joking or the producers told him to shut the hell up. Who knows? Who cares? I just love the DRAMA. Also, quite a lot of chatter on twitter implying that Theresa was giving a false impression and that DWTS never asked her to be on the show. Well, that’s happened before, so no surprise there. But need I say – just because someone on Twitter says it’s true doesn’t make it…true. 🙂 Who knows if it is or not? I guess we’ll find out in a couple weeks.
At the end of the day, I’m just as hesitant to believe someone when they say the AREN’T going to be on the show, as I am when they say the ARE. I can be very annoying like that – ask my Derek fan friends. 🙂
Random Internet Quote: “Wait, Troy Aikman is too good to be on DWTS, but he’ll film a Rent-A-Center Commercial with Hulk Hogan? 🙂
So far the thing that’s made me laugh the most is seeing Teresa’s second tweet about the situation:

— “Who should I make them give me as a partner? @MaksimC is the hottest, no?” Giudice said in a follow-up post on Thursday… —
LOLOLOL. As if she has enough pull to “make” the producers give her the partner of her choosing. lololol.
I also like the Aikman/Rent-A-Center one. Good times.
Define irony: the celebs running their mouths the most about doing DWTS are the ones least likely to actually be asked to do it. 😉
Teresa just needs to STFU…even if she did get asked to do the show, she’s already coming across as so arrogant and demanding in her tweets that I’m sure she’d be one of the first to get sent home – regardless of who she was partnered with. Although the trainwreck-loving part of me would love to see her paired with Maks…just so I could witness what could be the most EPIC partner fight in DWTS history. Broken mirrors, flipped tables, dance shoes being hurled at heads, cops being called…ohhhh yeah! 😀
I love a good train wreck as much as the next person but I truly think Teresa has some mental health issues. It’s no fun if it’s not a fair fight, you know? Sure she’s an adult and all but I think most people don’t understand until it’s too late the negatives from participating in a “reality” show. Professional celebs and competitors “get it” but even they suffer ill effects.
She would be the biggest.wreck.ever though! I bet the male pros would be hiding under their beds if she’s selected. Makes Kate look like a warm fuzzy.
Heehee! You’re all kind of saying what I was thinking when I was arguing against Teresa. I like Louis, Tony, Jonathan, Mark, Derek, and Dmitry too much to want to force any of them to put up with her, and I like Maks enough to not want to see him quit, or be fired, or arrested.
Damian though…he might have the right amount of “who cares?” to really let her crazy shine without getting himself involved. Her certainly managed to remain pretty uninterested/uninvolved in Pam’s dancing. He’s not “the hottest” though, so she might not choose him. Because she totally gets to choose her partner, right? :p
I’m just going to keep hoping that this is just a symptom of whatever is wrong with her and not a real offer to go on the show. So far none of these rumors involves anyone I’d actually want to see. 🙁
Again, I think a lot of the people claiming that they were “invited” to do DWTS are just lying through their teeth in order to generate some publicity for themselves – and I think Teresa definitely falls into this category, as do many of the other casting “rumors” that have been floating around. Half the folks that are claiming they got asked to do the show are not particularly well-known – not exactly people who I would foresee being on the casting directors’ “short list” for this season. As I mentioned in my campaign do’s & don’ts post – after the outstanding ratings the show pulled last season, they can afford to be really picky & choosey about who they invite to do the show now. Why would they go after pseudo-celebs like Teresa when they can go after the real thing?
Please excuse me if you’ve covered this already, but do YOU have a short list at this time?
@Jay – Hehe, I think by time I read through all the rumors and campaigns Heidi finds, I don’t know up from down or left from right…hence, I try not to have an “ironclad” wish list, per se. I mean there’s always certain celebs I’d love to see on the show – soap actor Maurice Bernard is someone I’ve wanted to see since season 1, although I doubt that would ever happen because 1) he’s such a central character on GH that I doubt he’d have the time to do DWTS, and 2) he’s bipolar, and seems to have withdrawn a bit from the public eye as a result. As for anyone else – I generally like just a good variety of celebs. I might do a redux post of my original “Typecasting” post from last season – that would probably give more detail. But if I had to name names this season – I’m getting kinda excited about this Kurt Warner rumor, and I wouldn’t mind wrestler Chris Jericho either. And the Sig Hansen rumor still cracks me up enough to make me want to see him on the show 🙂
