But of course, the idea got tossed!
How predictable.
Sources are saying that execs over at Dancing with the Stars considered
pairing Carson Kressley with a male partner. Yupp! Instead though, they
opted to team him up with dancing veteran Anna Trebunskaya.
One of the show’s exec producers revealed —>
“We thought about it. We try to follow what happens in real ballroom competitions. That was the original intention of the show. And while we are aware that there are same-sex couples, the competitions are usually mixed-gendered. It’s a performance, like actors. We don’t think its odd pairing up dancers with incompatible sexual preferences, but based off abilities. What we try to do is reflect a broad range of the entertainment world in the casting of the show. We’re always trying to find new things that people haven’t seen, new types of stories and that’s what we’ve been doing this season.”
I get their point.
But…
It’d still be dope to see a same-sex couple on the show!
Don’t you agree?
Hmm, maybe one day. We’ll have to see!
