I listened to Cheryl Burke's podcast Sex Les & Spray Tans. Cheryl verifies she had romances with 2 of her show partners. She wouldn't say who though. 

My gossipy mind can't help it. I know one was Chad Ochocinco. 

Any opinions on who the second was?

I don't remember all her partners (except Drew), but whoever it was is probably married, which is most likely why she wouldn't confirm or deny.

[ShaNaeNae]

So Drew and Chad were her two? 

[Soapy Goddess]

No, she's had as many partners as her appearances (seasons) on the show. Unfortunately, I don't remember them all.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, ABC announced that Olympic bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik would be the first celebrity contestant in the running for the mirrorball trophy on Good Morning America.
*  *  *
Asked if he's going to bring any of his pommel horse moves to the DWTS dance floor, Nedoroscik told host Robin Roberts, "I'm hoping to bring some of them. I want to bring some flares, I want to bring some of that gymnastics. Maybe a back flip or hand stand. I want to have fun with it."

The sports star added, "I'm very excited," before revealing the opportunity was one he said "yes" to straight away.
*  *  *
As for whether or not he's going to wear his glasses during his DWTS performances, Nedoroscik said, "Yeah, I might have fun with it. I'm scared they'll fly off is the thing, but maybe we could do a gadget to keep them or maybe a new pair of glasses to match the theme, right. That's what I'm thinking."

There is a rumor that Anna Delvey will be on this season.  If so, that is one of the worst decisions EVER.  She is a grifter, con, thief.

Right? I've read in 2 different places she's part of the cast. What, they couldn't get Allison Mack of NXIVM infamy, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, or the QAnon Shaman? 

 

Edited September 2 by Fostersmom

[lavenderblue]

I saw some chatter indicating that they did want Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, and only didn't cast her because she's pregnant. Which wouldn't even surprise me.

[WhitneyWhit]

So what’s next…a weekly remote from San Quentin where Scott Peterson learns to ballroom dance? 
 

This show  is such trash now. I miss the days when it was a bunch of a c and d list celebrities from yesteryear just having fun and dancing. 

[peachmangosteen]

I mean, I don't think Anna Delvey or even Gypsy Rose are really on par with Scott Peterson lol.

I was surprised they cast an actual criminal but then I was like I'm sure they definitely have before so meh.

I live under a rock. Who is Anna Delvey?

I had to look up who that was and I'm floored. I know they've had criminals before, like Tanya Harding and Adrian Peterson, but at least they were legitimate stars. This person is just a criminal, period, and it seems like she's still under house arrest! I agree with the people who said this show is pure trash now. 

I've been a longtime fan and always watched, even though some of their choices were questionable. This time, though, I don't think I'm interested at all. It's been fun, Ya'll, but over and out.

The only ones from that list I actually know are VelJohnson, Spelling, and Roberts. But there's a lot of seasons where I haven't been familiar with the vast majority of the people competing and still enjoyed the season, so...

I hate to say this because I love Ezra and am so happy he’s a Pro, but Anna can leave NOW. aside from what she did, she has no personality. Bachelorette can go soon after. I’m disappointed with this cast.

[Quickbeam]

Stephen is quite short so I’m glad they paired him with Rylee. 

[TVMovieBuff]

I am so happy to see Jenn Tran. She needs this, it did wonders for Melissa Rycroft. 

Having a caring partner in Sasha is perfect, as Melissa had Tony 

[Fostersmom]

I’m so excited to see Ilona on the list. She’s certainly making the best of her Olympic fame. 

[LexieLily]

Them actually having to introduce Anna Delvey as a convicted con artist is hilarious to me. At least Tonya Harding was an Olympic skater once upon a time and Adrian Peterson a footballer.

...is she wearing an ankle monitor? Really?? 🙄
How is her parole officer allowing her to do this show?

I just saw an interview with Ezra and Anna, and as bad as I felt for him being a first-time Pro and getting her as a partner... he seems just fine with it! She's very weird, gives off-the-wall answers, and he's taking it all in stride. The interviewer asked if there was a particular artist or song she was looking forward to dancing to, and her response was, "No."

I'm still appalled that the show invited her on. She has absolutely no remorse for anything she's done.

I don't know much about her or the Bachelor people. Since their fan base is strong, maybe Sasha can win for the first time. I used to fuss about their fan base, but it's fine if it helps Sasha.

Not thrilled about Phaedra.

As to Anna, I am just tired of rewarding criminals - I hope she is voted out first.

[dancingdreamer]

Tori Spelling,  meh.

I hope Anna is voted out first (sorry new kid, Ezra) and Phaedra second (cannot stand her).  Then I'd be able to start enjoying the show.

I'm wondering now if she saw doing the show as a loophole to getting out of house arrest. SMH. 

[TVMovieBuff]

I have to defend Tonya Harding, she isn't among criminals like Anna Delvey or Adrian Peterson. Tonya didn't club Nancy Kerrigan in the knee, her ex-husband did. I believe it was without Tonya's fore-knowledge. Her only mistake (besides still associating with her ex and his friends) was not going to the police immediately after she found out what he had done.  She was over-penalized for it. 

Who among us has not done something stupid for a guy? Anyone? Anyone?

Anna Delvey says winning Dancing With the Stars would mean 'nothing, really' (exclusive)
Emlyn Travis   September 4, 2024
https://ew.com/anna-delvey-says-winning-dancing-with-the-stars-would-mean-nothing-really-8706358 

Quote

When asked by Entertainment Weekly what taking home the competition’s coveted Mirrorball Trophy would mean to her at a New York press junket following the show's season 33 cast reveal on Wednesday, the convicted conwoman and Inventing Anna subject bluntly replied, “Nothing, really. I don’t know.”

Delvey then burst out laughing before quickly amending her answer, clarifying, “It would be great.”
*  *  *
As for why Delvey joined Dancing With the Stars? “Why not?” She quipped. Her lack of dance experience doesn't get her down, either. "I used to dance a little bit when I was ages 4 and 12," she recalled, "but I haven't really danced in 20 years.”

However, she admitted that her decision to compete on the show was “very last minute” due to the legal requirements surrounding her ongoing house arrest. 

“They offered it to me, then I had to get permission from ICE to be able to travel out of state and that took about 10 days,” Delvey explained. “I didn’t really know until very last minute if I was going to able to do it or not, and then it was kind of too late to say no, so, I’m just here.” 

While Dancing With the Stars is filmed in Los Angeles, Delvey and Sosa will remain in New York in the next few weeks leading up to the series premiere on Sept. 17 because she's currently producing a New York Fashion Week show with former America’s Next Top Model judge, Kelly Cutrone. Sosa will also be walking the runway during the event.

They're bringing some of that glam to Dancing With the Stars too — starting with Delvey's ankle monitor. “I’m going to rhinestone her ankle monitor,” Sosa declared. “Obviously! it’s Dancing With the Stars! What do you expect?”

I just can't be bothered with a criminal. The show has been scraping the bottom of the barrel by insisting reality show people are "stars" but this is just bullshit and very disappointing that the show chooses to normalize it. 

[Andiethewestie]

This is a very odd season beginning with Artem's arrest. What an a-hole. I am so disappointed in him because I admired him as a dancer but this is beyond the pale. It's not starting well. I am not invested like I have been in the past. 

[Ilovepie]

A convicted criminal wearing an actual ankle monitor??? Not one but TWO from the Bachelor franchise? The horrible Phaedra who

Spoiler

I know from Traitors who cussed out her fellow traitor after the season ended because he shrugged it off as "just a game"?

Ugh. Horrible.

But they are still airing this show on D+ which I have commerical-free, and I absolutely LOVE Ilona and Stephen so I'm in! 😜

[TVMovieBuff]

The one I heard mentioned as a possible contestant (perhaps not by the show, but by some writer) was Allison Mack. SHE is the one, for me,, if they cast her, I would not be watching. 

I never even heard of Anna Delvey. I don't know how, as I keep up with things. But stealing money doesn't skeeve me out like sexual coercion does.
