Does The Bachelor’s Nick Viall Want to Dance on DWTS Season 24??
Another season approaches, another discussion about Bachelor people. :::sigh:::
Of course he does, although he plays it very coy to People.com. You can pretty much disregard what Nick says in the article (excerpts below) and assume that he would jump at the chance. As many of you know, I read Reality Steve and he knows all about that particular franchise and if he says Nick is salivating (my words, not Steve’s) to dance on DWTS, then you can take it to the bank. Dude has a better track record on the Bachelor than we do on DWTS – although we are hamstrung by our show being live. 😉
Anyway, Nick was rumored a while ago to want to do DWTS and here he is…still wanting it. Will he get asked? Probably not. The first rule of DWTS is to NOT CAMPAIGN for it. They almost never pick people who campaign. Now, that could be why Nick is playing so coy – playing hard to get? Too bad for him that Hollywood is small and word is likely out everywhere that he wants to do it badly. He’s also a dog and I wouldn’t care to see him messing with any of our ladies (although he might be good with Jenna). 🙂 He is nice looking though and maybe he can fake being a decent human being through this season enough for me to want to see him on DWTS.
Ultimately, I think the Bachelor/Bachelorette participation on DWTS comes down to DWTS casting and how well they are doing casting a particular season – if they’re having a hard time, Nick might get a shot. If they’re doing as well as they’ve done the past few seasons, there ain’t no way. Of course, Rob Wade is working so hard to totally screw some couples over and manipulate the show to get the winner they want (have you all binge watched UNReal yet? Chop chop!), that it won’t be too much longer before they can’t get any good celebs to compete – only those with careers in desperate need of reviving.
We are still quite a ways out before we get any substantial rumors – what are the chances that I score like I did last season with Marilu?? – so don’t get your knickers in a twist about Nick (another play on words – accident, I swear) just yet. Hell, it’s not even a rumor – it’s wishful thinking. On Nick’s part. 🙂
From People.com:
“I mean, I haven’t given it much thought. I think it would be fun, you know?” Viall told Entertainment Tonight about joining DWTS next season if asked. “Who wouldn’t wanna do it?”
——-
And although the idea of competing against fellow celebrities on the ballroom floor sounds like a fun opportunity for Viall, he is currently “focused on being the Bachelor” — but that doesn’t mean he isn’t contemplating the possibility.
“[But] if they asked — I mean, I don’t think I would say my first thought wouldn’t be no, but I think anyone would feel lucky to even be considered,” he added.
Can’t believe I’m going to say this but I was once again forced to watched that dang show and for the first time I actually like the person looking for a mate/love/temporary hookup/ honestly have no clue since they all seem a bit odd. Heck I’m convinced that the one girl with the nanny and I’m guessing is loaded was given a copy of sim city on her laptop lol and don’t get me started on the shark dolphin debate ?. Anyways, back to nick. Something about him is really fun to watch. Like yeah he seems a bit into himself but out of the seasons I’ve been forced to watch he is the least fake. Actually wouldn’t mind seeing him on the show.
Yeah, I gotta confess the whole shark/dolphin thing running through the episode was hilarious. 😀
At first I wanted to say “no” to Nick until I read Vin and Miss Heidi’s comments. He might be fun and he is quite handsome. 🙂
No, just no to Nick. Here’s the thing…Nick knows how to play the game of The Bachelor. This is his 4th time being on tv with this franchise. He is very much a dog. He knows the “right” things to say or do for this game show plus talking about manipulation, this guy has a college degree in it. He is NOT looking for a wife, he is looking to advance his entertainment career. He no longer lives in Chicago, he moved to LA, has an agent, has done some modeling and is taking acting classes. He is using the show as a stepping stone. I’m sure he would be more than willing to play along with any manipulation that TPTB decide to do on DWTS. but make no mistake, it’s an act which based on these comments, his act is working. I, would not be excited at all to see him on DWTS.
@vogue: I foresee a trip to sea world in her future lol.
Put the wrong name by accident meant princess’s Heidi not vogue sorry guys 🙁
UGGHH Not a fan of the whole Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise If these people are remotely serious about having a relationship, let alone being engaged, maybe focus a few months on the fact that supposedly they want to get married instead of throwing them with/at another partner for 3 months. But people seem to love it even though it is total BS and always has been.
“Base on these comments”??? Perhaps you need some reading comprehension lessons, Cheryl? No one is disputing anything you said – and nothing you said makes him less fun to watch. Thinking someone is fun to watch doesn’t mean you buy into anything he’s selling. Hell, I read Reality Steve (and clearly you do as well) and believe that UnReal is a pretty REAL take off on The Bachelor – that right there should tell you who is clued in. But that actually makes it more fun to watch. The cracked folk that actually believe that show is about finding love are the ones you should be preaching to – and we ran them off during the season Melissa was on the show.
And really, you know so much about Nick…so you must be watching and reading avidly as well, eh?
Did anyone watch tonight’s episode? For the first time I was actually excited to see what weirdness was coming and boy did Corinne deliver ?….the fact he seems into her kinda scares me. Was waiting for her to eat the rose to assert her dominance since she already has the interruption of dates down and do anything to get attention thing down.
