DWTS Rumor: Caitlyn Jenner To Dance In The New DWTS Sports Edition??
We’ve had this rumor a multiple of times. I doubt this is true anymore than the other times…and especially from this source. From the National Enquirer, they report Caitlyn Jenner is the producers number choice to dance in the Dancing With The Stars all sports edition. Be sure to read the link for more.
Rob Shuter reports…. Competition will be fierce on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” come spring — it will return with an all-athletes edition and show bosses want ex-Olympian Caitlyn Jenner!
“Jenner is one of the most celebrated athletes of all time and will bring drama and glamour to the ballroom,” an insider confided to The National ENQUIRER.
“She is the producers’ number one choice.”
My thoughts: If this rumor is true, I really don’t mind it as long as there isn’t a lot dumb drama. Let us know what you think in comments.
My opinion of this is a big whopping NO!!!!! The drama will be unavoidable.
I’m all for this. She is tall though….so I guess Alan or maybe keo or gleb. Those are the three tallest male pros right? There is always tony too.
I would not mind if Caitlyn decided to do it. Her “reality” show was cancelled and apparently she is persona non grata with the Kardashian family and not appearing on their “reality” show, so she needs attention somewhere. With Caitlyn being on the outs with the Kardashians, at least we won’t see them on DWTS in the audience. However, Deena Katz (casting producer) is good friends w/Kris Jenner, so a good part of me figures it won’t happen.
More proof the memory is shot. I had forgotten Caitlin first gained fame as an athlete and as Bruce.
See, I don’t really doubt that Caitlyn Jenner would be the producers #1 choice. That has nothing to do with whether or not she’ll actually do it.
That’s a no from me for 2 reasons. 1) The inevitable drama and 2) They’d probably put her with Keo because of the height and he gets the crazy ones.
But I wouldn’t be mad if she was on, just not my first, second, or tenth choice.
Tony, Gleb, Keo are all 6′ plus and Alan is only 5’10” and Maks is 6 plus. Keo is the tallest of any of these pros at 6’3″. Maks is on tour with the fam, so he’s out.
I agree with Cindy totally!
The controversy could incur the fact that it’s an all season all sports. So it would be Bruce Jenner who is the male sports person (rumored) to be brought on the show by this season’s Spring show title. I just think this would be bad timing.
no thanks to Caitlyn Jenner, IMO. Agree with many are – too much drama. I’ve read that she’s always late (by a mile!), has a diva attitude and drags huge entourage and drama in her wake. that drama would overshadow all else in the season. The Caitlyn Jenner Show, with supporting cast of dancers.
of cours, if she’s on she may end up changing my mind – wouldn’t be the first time for me LOL
Kaitlyn Jenner loves DWTS she’s been around a long time, cheering on Kym and her brother Rob, and she’s been asked numerous times when she was Bruce. Anyone who loves dance like her should be asked. I could see her with Tony or Keo.
I am in favor of a sports theme DWTS, but I would not watch if Caitlyn Jenner is on the show. As other people have said, too much drama. The whole Kardashian Jenner family would take things over.
Caitlyn’s story is more complex than just her time in the sports world.
IF she wants to be on the show I’d prefer it be a regular season that could present her WHOLE story.
I’m of the “Will and Grace” frame of mind on Caitlyn Jenner – I WANT to like (and support) her, but she makes it SO HARD.
If they can’t get her and want an athlete related to the kardasians, I could totally see the one that was married to khloe doing it. Something about him reminds me of ochocinco though
I’m okay with it as long as it’s definately a shortened season. I’m okay with it only because I totally think now would be a great time to have a m2f woman on the show. Unless they wait until next season and acquire Laverne Cox as a contestant. Plus it could segue into Kendall doung the show, who I am not opposed to seeing on the ballroom floor.
My #1 “Yes” reason for season 26 is that it’s short. Even if the diva/fam stuff comes up, it wont take over a whole season. And Bruce learned to dance as a male. There may be some pretty funny relearning scenarios as she transitions from leading to following.
My #1 “No” reason? Just not that into it. This season is short/short/short. There’s not a lot of time for drama et al. Would prefer to see younger/fit/focused athletes really competing for that MBT. Not sure she has it in her at 68 y/o.
