Dancing with the Stars Spoiler Alert:
We already know who’s going to win!
Just kidding. Sort of.
According to multiple outlets, however, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is set to sign on for Season 23.
She just won four Gold Medals and is considered by many to already be the best gymnast in U.S. history and we don’t think it’s going too far out on a limb to predict her victory.
We know Biles can move. We know she’s flexible. We know she has amazing hand-eye coordination.
Would you bet against her?!?
Moreover, though the years, gymnasts such as Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson and Biles’ teammate Aly Raisman have all fared well on the ABC competition.
E! News, meanwhile, also reports that JoJo Fletcher will go Dancing with the Stars this fall.
This would continue another tradition: the network recycling its own Bachelor and Bachelorette stars on the program.
Fletcher, of course, originally competed on Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor and just gave former football player Jordan Rodgers the final rose on The Bachelorette finale last month.
We don’t think it’s going out on too much of a limb to say that she will NOT win.
Finally, E! also claims Jake T. Austin is under serious consideration for Season 23.
This actor tarred on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place alongside Selena Gomez prior to landing a role on Freeform’s The Fosters from 2013-2015.
This would also follow the usual Dancing with the Stars form.
The series nearly always casts on young actor, often from a Disney program.
Carlos PenaVega and Janel Parrish come to mind as examples.
All of those who compete on Season 23 will be hoping to follow in the Mirrorball Trophy-winning footsteps of Nyle DiMarco.
The hunky model and actor became one of the few non-athletes to win the whole thing last year.
ABC has declined to comment on this initial casting report, but the complete season 23 announcement will take place on Good Morning America on Tuesday, August 30.
The competition will then kick off with the season premiere on Monday, September 12 at 8/7c on ABC.
How do you feel about these potential contestants?
Would Biles be the clear cut favorite heading into the competition?
Who else would you want to see give this gymnast a run dance for her money?
