Dancing With The Stars is one of the most popular reality TV shows, with over 5 million viewers each season. The aspect that keeps this chart-topping show popular is that it features some of the most popular stars relative to that time, all competing against each other to win the iconic mirrorball trophy. From gymnasts to TikTok stars to zookeepers, this show has a celebrity for every viewer.
The new cast of stars includes: Alix Earle, a popular TikTok star who has a background in high school dance classes; Danielle Fishel, who is most famous for her role as Topanga in the show Boy Meets World as well as her role as the mom in the later series Girl Meets World; and Jordan Chiles, a distinguished gymnast and a two-time Olympic champion. Gymnastics and dance have many stylistic crossovers, which leads fans to speculate that Chiles will be tough competition. Finally, Robert Irwin is a wildlife conservationist who shares his passion with the world through shows at the Australian Zoo and other events.
Most students might relate to Avi Klein, who heard about the show through TikTok. Klein stated that he did not know any of the contestants, but when diving deeper into the cast, he knew Alix Earle:“…an internet personality.” Knowing certain celebrities from the show might lead you to wanting them to win, but Klein expressed that he would not vote for her; “…[he] doesn’t know the skills of the other contestants.”
Dancing with the Stars is one of the only interactive reality TV shows where you can vote for your favorite pair to win, similar to the hit show Love Island. This makes it more exciting for fans who tune in every Tuesday night from now until November 25. Whether you’re voting for your favorite celebrity or whichever contestant’s dance skills have improved the most, this show is definitely worth a watch.
