ABC just released the cast of Dancing With the Stars Season 19 and neither Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman nor her new fiance Josh Murray will be on show despite rumors that the two were a shoo-in. I suspect the decision was theirs and not ABCs since the line-up is less than stellar. I mean did ABC really want Fresh Prince of Bel Air actor Alfonso Ribeiro over Andi and Josh?
Co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews announced the celebrity cast live Thursday morning on Good Morning America in New York’s Times Square.
The official cast is………
Drumroll please……
Fresh Prince of Bel Air actor Alfonso Ribeiro, Olympian Lolo Jones, Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson, actress Lea Thompson, and Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett.
NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip, Ultimate Fighting Champion Randy Couture, comedian Tommy Chong, talk show host Tavis Smiley, fashion designer Betsey Johnson and General Hospital star Antonio Sabato, Jr., Pretty Little Liars actress Janel Parrish and YouTube guru Bethany Mota will also compete.
So why is Andi Dorman not doing the show?
I suspect two possibilities:
1: She wanted to keep her District Attorney job
2: Josh was too jealous to allow her to compete
But who knows! Guess we will have to wait and see!
Season 19 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars will air on Sept. 15
