DWTS 13 Rumor Peta Murgatroyd Returing to Dancing With The Stars, But Not Damian Whitewood?
Well, it appears the paparazzi followed Peta Murgatroyd to the beach last weekend. The Daily Mail has some great new shots of her in a nude colored bikini. As always though, they don’t always report the truth and they write with a lot of assumptions and sensationalism which brings us to this news. They are also reporting Damian Whitewood will not be returning to do Dancing With The Stars Season 13 while Peta will be back as one of the troupe. How would they know that? I’d take this news with a grain of salt for now. If it’s true about Damian, I (and I know a lot of you as well) will be disappointed.
Damian is not returning for the 13th series which starts next month, but Peta will be back as one of the troupe – but is maybe hoping for a role more in the spotlight.
Thats it!! What can we do to get Damian on this show? There seems to be somewhat of a majority on here that love him, and I have to think the viewers feel the same way.
Yay for Peta, BOOOO for Damian. Dang-it.
Damn, Peta’s got an amazing ass. Maybe we should start referring to her as She of the Awesome Assage? 🙂
LOL COURTNEY!!!! Good idea! Wait until John sees this post too. It will make his day! lollll
Sandy, my sentiments exactly!
Really hope that isn’t truw about Damian. I would love to see him on the show again.
What a derrière! =o S2
Liked the troupe last season. Glad it’s back.
Troupe could include former pros as Damian, Fabian, Anna D… miss them on the show…
Carlos, I agree. If true, you’d think they’d make room for Damian in the Troupe. I’ve never heard one negative thing on him. Fans love him!
Perhaps Damian has other things going on… but I’d love to see him back. But I hate how the DM captions its photos, it’s so cheesy! But Peta looks GREAT! To me, she’s like the “new Edyta.” I used to say if I looked like Edyta, I’d wear as little as possible too. Guess I can use Peta as an example now!
I am surprised that the troupe is coming back at all. I’m a huge fan of it and hope they use the dancers better this season, but if you ever look at the ABC Message Boards, those folks HATED the troupe. They would hardly give them a chance. It’s a shame because a few of them are really talented and seem to have a great/fun personality to match, which is what makes people love the dancers on this show.
I wouldn’t get too upset about Damian just yet. After spending a YEAR reading the utter bullshit that they wrote about Derek – stuff that was EASILY verifiable as FALSE – you can almost guarantee that everything coming out of the UK is a fairytale. Especially now that their illegal wiretapping operation has been shut down.
I cannot beleive No damien again! I could bet that the male pros are probably Mark, Derek, Tony, Maks, Dymetry, and Louis now since Damien isn’t coming back. Seriously, producers have to see that Damien is immensly more popular than Louis (After Petra I honestly think Dymetry should be back since he was actually personable and not bland like he was with Mya).
Happy to see Peta back in the troupe though! I’m guesing whenever Lacey decides to run off and try her music thing without the show she will become a pro.
Lastly, I agree with Carlos that Anna D should be in the troupe. All they would need to do is get another male dancer. Also, as much as I ahte to say it if the producers of DWTS don’t want Damien on he should try to get on SYTYCD as a choreographer like Dymetry and Louis. I’d love to see what he could do with those dancers!
Vin, remember it’s just a rumor/hear say that Damian hasn’t been picked. This news comes from the Daily Mail which is unreliable. They make horrible assumptions and sensationalize. About the only thing you can take serious from this story is that Peta was in a nude bikini on the beach and that’s it.
Louis doesn’t know if he’s back or not. Is it just me or some pros r treated as principal dancers and then the rest of them?
@Maddy: I used to think that in the begining but I think the pros are told when the cast is all signed up and they gotta start pairing them up based on height.
@Princess Heidi: Thats true. It seems like the only rumors and hearsay that ever ends up being ture comes from TMZ (which scares me since I have seen the show TMZ has and that staff is just strange sometimes).
Oh, Vin – I used to get about half the cast right from stuff gleaned from Twitter and other sources up until Season 10, I think (and even then I would get lucky and get a couple). Then the producers really clamped down hard on the celebs and have gotten a lot better. And yeah, TMZ seems to be the only outlet with a good source.
Maddy, I do think that certain pros know right away (usually Derek the past few seasons) and others don’t. But I think it’s a combination of people requesting Derek and getting their wish (so he knows right away), and just simple timing. Who gets signed and gets a pro first. But you also have to remember that quite a few of the pros never say a word about it so you don’t know when they know. It’s really only Lacey, and most of the boys who blab. Everyone else kinda stays quiet about it. Women are usually better at secrets. 🙂
@vin – I think Anna D. joining the troupe would be a bit of a downgrade…I mean, she’s already been a full-time pro, so asking her to come back and dance with a group of wannabe-pros seems kinda…insulting. But I can guarantee it won’t happen – she’s been busy competing in the professional world, and has been wildly successful. I think she’d probably chuckle and say “No thanks” if offered a position in the troupe at this point. I doubt they’d ask, anyway.
@Maddy – I’m gonna agree with vin a bit – I think the pros are told they’re in as the celebs are signed, and that TPTB probably already have a partner in mind for each pro before they’re signed and are just waiting for the ink to dry on the celeb’s contract before letting the pro know. I remember Louis was one of the first to say he was in last season – so did Lacey. Then again, they’re also two of the more vocal pros, so maybe it wasn’t so much that they were told first as it was that they were the first to really reveal their status. Tony & Mark said they were in later on, and then there’s the pros like Anna, who almost never say a word about whether they’re in or not and we don’t find out they are on a particular season until the couples are announced on GMA 2 days after the cast announcement. I’m guessing Mark probably really was given the green light later on, because he seems fairly vocal and would probably share the news immediately. I think the situation with season 11 also reveals a bit – they originally told Lacey “no”, then sh*t hit the fan with Edyta and they asked Lacey back. I’m guessing they probably had to shuffle the partners around a bit, since we had 2 uncharacteristically awkward pairings – Rick & Cheryl (extreme height difference), and Michael & Chelsie (extreme age difference). I think they originally had Edyta in mind for Rick, Cheryl in mind for Michael, and Chelsie in mind for Kyle. Kinda supports my theory that they pre-pair the celebs & pros, and simply wait for the celeb to be locked in to let the pro know.
Vogue,
I’m not really a butt man. Although, thanks for thinking of me. That said, I still want Peta on the show:-)
