DWTS Season 29 Watch Out: Dr. Anthony Fauci, Carole Baskin, Cuomo, Vince Neil, and Paris Jackson To Dance??
According to Brinkwire via the Daily Mail, the producers of Dancing With The Stars has asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, top infectious disease expert, to dance and he has said “No”. According to the same source, the producers are targeting Tiger King Joe Exotic’s nemesis Carole Baskin, former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe(which we know already), CNN’s Chris Cuomo, rocker Vince Neil, and Paris Jackson as well. What do you think if true? Let us know in comments. I’d be open to all of them. Bring them on…
A show source said: ‘Dr F.auci has become a national hero in the last few months, leading the charge for keeping Americans safe at the height of COVID-19. He became not only one of our most trusted faces on television, but also a man viewers looked to as an inspiration. And of course he could be good for ratings. Like Sean Spicer, he is a lightning rod.
‘So it was a natural step for show executives to reach out to him. Obviously they are aware that he has work responsibilities, but given that the show is likely to be recorded remotely it allows him the opportunity to train and dance in Washington.
‘The producers will be sad to hear he’s not interested, but they still hold out hope he will change his mind.’
ABC and DWTS bosses have stayed tight-lipped about how they will film the new series given coronavirus restrictions.
‘They still have a few weeks to make a decision about how the partners and their contestants will work together in the week and then perform for the live show. They are figuring out the logistics,’ the source said.
‘Currently there are no plans for a live audience attending the opening show at CBS Studios in Los Angeles. It is too dangerous and obviously a no go for the stars, especially with how hard unions are pushing safety for their clients.’
‘Currently with no vaccine, it is likely that the performers will pair together in limited quarantine, and then do their live performances via a video link. That is the safest option considered and allows the show to run in full until the final.
‘Judges too will either remotely present or perhaps attend a socially distanced studio.
‘But ABC are adamant that the show will air despite the problems.’
DWTS has not been afraid to delve into the political arena for contestants.
Last year former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer garnered huge publicity for the series as a contestant.
Other names being targeted for 2020 are Tiger King Joe Exotic’s nemesis Carole Baskin, former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe, CNN’s Chris Cuomo, rocker Vince Neil and Paris Jackson
Im on board with all of them. Paris with brandon would be a great pairing.
I’d say no to Dr. Fauci and Carol Baskin. I’d love to see Chris Cuomo but I’m sure he’ll pass for the fall, given everything going on in the news now, plus with it being a huge election year. I do wonder if they will have a small pool of celebs to pick from due to the cornavirus. Even with safeguards in place, I can see a lot of celebs that might have considered it turning the show down. I won’t be surprised if it’s a lot of reality tv and social media personalities, and whatever group you put Carol Baskin in.
I would love for Leslie Jordan to be cast. He’s brought such joy with his Instagram stories and he’s such a sweet soul.
Paris Jackson paired with Mark ballas or Shasha or Derek hough carol baskin and Atrem rocker Venice Neil paired with Whitney tiger king joe exotic paired with Emma Chris cuomo paired with peta
Sharna and dr.anthony Fauci paired together for season 29 dwts
Huh interesting group hoping to see a drag queen or same-sex couple
I second the sentiments about Leslie Jordan. I would love to see him this season and he is Los Angeles based. Would also love Christie Brinkley to have another go, but who knows if she really would…
Gonna tackle this name by name lol
Dr Fauci: Love this guy but something tells me he is gonna stick to his initial no 🙁
Carole Baskin: She scares me….well everyone on that show does except for the one who lost her arm.
Chris Cuomo: I’ve met him. He is such a nice guy!
Vince Neil: I would love to see him on the show.
Paris Jackson: I would love to see this one come true.
They won’t get Fauci to do it. I think he’s got enough on his plate, lol. Really hoping they don’t get Carol Baskin.
Fauci for president, not for DWTS!
Fauci for president, not for DWTS.
@Vin didn’t even think about Kelci Saffery, I’d love Saff to do the the show over Carole anyday, and I didn’t even watch the 3 ring circus lol
Slighty off topic but @Nick: I clicked it by accident on Netflix and was too lazy to get up to switch the show since the dogs were asleep on me so I watched that all in one day lol. Saff and the other guy (drug guy who had his own collection of exotic animals….maybe episode one or two lol….were the only ones that didn’t make me go “well never would want to see them in my life again ever because they clearly are crazy”
I’d also prefer seeing Saff instead of Carole if DWTS needs a Tiger King person. But Carole is a big scandalous draw, which the producers love. I think she’d probably also be the worst dancer, stay on there past the point of it being fun for most of us, probably get paired with a C Bro, and give us more lame drama than that one lady who maybe pretended to break her ankle or get cancer or whatever it was halfway through an episode.
Also I think now’s the obvious time to promote more Black talent in the pros, troupe and contestants.
@Nukegirl I remember PH once mentioned that the amount of black professional dancers were limited, but that was back in 2014 or 2015. I’m hoping that has changed as I would love to see that as well, perhaps Britt will be promoted, out of all the troupe members she and Hailey both deserve it, but Hailey is more of a modern style dancer rather than ballroom and latin. Whereas Britt, I think, has more experience in one or both.
Dr. Fauci on DWTS?? Um, isn’t he a bit too busy dealing with the country dealing with covid19? LOL I’m gonna say no, I don’t think he’s joining unless they want him on the show to get people to wear the damn masks!
