DWTS Season 23 Thoughts + Casting Rumours

Hello Again. It's Shay. 

So, who's pumped for season 23? Let's talk about the rumors and the confirmations that are making their rounds on social media. First lets talk about the first wave of pro-dancers casting announcements that GOOD MORNING AMERICA revealed today. Dancing with the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy (via Video Call from Los Angeles) helped reveal some of the pros who'll compete to take home the Mirror Ball Trophy. Val revealed 8/13 names of the DWTS Pros returning.. Here's the current list:


  • Lindsay Arnold
  • Sharna Burgess
  • Witney Carson
  • Artem Chigvintsev
  • Val Chmerkovskiy
  • Sasha Farber
  • Allison Holker
  • Gleb Savenchko 
Our question now, is "Who are the other five pros that will compete alongside the eight announced?".. That is our question and it's been grilling our minds for a while now since this morning. Could there be two new pros that are joining the star studded roster? I'm thinking so.. I'm trying not to get my hopes up right now at this time, but I'm really hoping that they give troupe member Brittany Cherry (Remember her from the last few seasons? She also was in the music video for Ed Sheeran's "Thinking out Loud"!) a well needed promotion to pro-dancer this season after all she did kill it with troupe these last few seasons though.. You gotta give Brittany a chance.. 

Let's get down and dirty with these early confirmations now..  We're getting confirmation that Amber Rose is set to strap on some dancing shoes and hit the dance floor for season 23.. Some fans (I'm one of them) are not happy with the news so far. Amber Rose is most known as an activist, actress, model and fashion designer. She was married to rapper Wiz Khalifa for three years and has one child. She also has ties with the Kardashian family as well as she knows them fairly well. - We also are getting reports that Olympic Gymnast Laurie Hernandez who recently won medals Rio de Janeiro during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. I'm digging it. I really want her to dance with pro Mark Ballas* (*meaning status TBD) because she would be the second of the "FInal Five" US Olympic Gymnasts to compete on the dazzled out dancing competition, succeeding Aly Raisman who competed with Mark many seasons ago. - We're also learning that "General Hospital"'s Robert P. Watkins (Dillon Quartermaine) is eyeing the Mirrorball Trophy. This would make him one of the many General Hospital alumni who've competed/to compete on the show.  I"m kinda hoping he's with Witney but he could be with Lindsay. I don't know.. - We're also apparently getting reports that Emma Samms (General Hospital - Holly Scorpio) is also wanting to take a stab at the coveted MBT prize too. I don't know who she'd end up with for S23.. But I think she'll do a good job.. Maybe with Keo or Tony.. Who knows.... - Also, "Bachelorette" leading lady Joelle "JoJo" Fletcher is in talks to also strap some shoes on and shake what her mama gave her also. I'm praying that she takes this into consideration and says "I'm in!"..because she is set to walk down the aisle to her fiancĂ©e Jordan Rodgers. She'd need to get some killer dance moves to impress her hubby to be during their wedding! I'm down for this because I am a huge Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise fan and I absolutely want Fletcher to do this! - We also know that SHAY MITCHELL is rumored to be taking the floor soon too. I HOPE SHE DOES!!!!!!

- More information is due soon... 

Shay!
