Re: DWTS 21 Cast Announcement

by **Lesallee** Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:41 pm

Glitters, jazz I will just jump in here, if I may. Tony has not been confirmed as a judge nor a teaching pro at this point. There has been great speculation from sites such as DWTSGossip that Tony will be judging. But others sources think Michael Wentink will be the new judge. Someone on this thread mentioned Tony recently signed a new contract with DWTS so I am pretty confident he will be on in some capacity.

Eleven pros have been named and there is talk that this may be another 13 couple season so still 2 pros to come.

Thanks so much for jumping in. I didn't have time to go through all of the posts. I appreciate the update from you. Smile

The married couple is Carlos Pena Jr. and Alexa Vega. The only way I know that is because I had to google Carlos to find out who he was.

Aha! Thank you! We'll see if they actually are contestants. I've seen a lot of rumors, but until ABC confirms.....I'll just hope!

I noticed on PureDWTS they originally put out the name Carlos Pena. Are they assuming that it's Carlos Pena, Jr, or could it be Carlos Pena, the baseball player?

That's a good question USN.

I just found this article that says it Carlos Pena Jr. and his wife on DWTS.

We were posting the other day about the the possibility of a baseball player being on the show. If the rumor is true, this could be him.

I don't know if the article I put the link to above is correct it is Carlos Pena Jr. I guess we will know for sure on 9/2 when the full cast is announced on GMA.

Everything I've read says it is Carlos Pena Jr. Another Big Time Rush member following in fellow Rusher, James Maslow's footsteps (or perhaps dance steps). I loved James and Peta so this could be good.

You are right, SLA; we'll know for sure on 2/9.

Lesallee, you said Andy Grammer will be with Peta.

Hi Glitters....I saw on DWTS Gossip that Andy Grammer will be with Peta. 'Honey I'm Good'......with that pairing, he's a cutie!!!

by **Glittersisgld** Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:25 pm

Peta and Andy will be a great couple.

I don't know who any of these people are except Bindi and Paula. So excited to see Bindi! Love her family!!

by **SLA44** Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:41 pm

Carlos and Alexa were on ET tonight and they seemed excited about being on DWTS. They sure are a cute couple.

I just read on the online news that it is indeed Carlos Pena and his wife, he of the boy band, she a star when she was a child. First time a husband-wife pair were on.

Hold onto your seats: the article also said that Paula Deen was on. It mention a few others that I've never heard about. The rest will be announced later.

Oh my gosh, still today Nick Viall of Bach fame (infamy?) is being bandied about as a possible DWTS season 21 contestant. As Allison is the only available female pro I guess he would be all hers if these rumours come to fruition.

by **Glittersisgld** Fri Aug 28, 2015 2:03 pm

I miss good old Nick.

How long do you think "good old Nick" would last on DWTS, Glitters? I don't suppose he has any fan base outside of some Bach Nation people. But maybe he would be a real twinkle toes and win everyone over with his dance skills!

by **Glittersisgld** Fri Aug 28, 2015 2:35 pm

I would imagine Allison would be too quick and frenetic for Nick. I don't know if he could keep up with her.

by **DeadManDancing** Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:14 pm

Just checked the DWTS homepage, and good old Len is gone. Sad

He will be missed but I know that gruelling schedule doing Strictly and DWTS was getting too much for him. Can't blame him and his life and home are in England.

So now, is it Tony for judge or does DWTS have someone a little older signed up that only Tony can dance with?
