I guess it's as official as it can be:

 

Is it bad that I only know Melanie and Brian Austin Green? Except Melanie ofc this is v z-list celebs

I also know JoJo Siwa and Kenya Moore but that’s it, 4 haha

Olivia Jade is Lori Loughlin's daughter aka the one who was a part of the college admissions scandals. So obviously the bar is very high for this group of celebs.

You are not American.

 

I'm sure the average American TV viewer knows most of the contestants.

I only know Melanie C, just from that clip DWTS seems a lot more plastic and like it doesn't have the homely feel of Strictly Come Dancing. Can't say I've ever watched any of it bar Mel B's danceso back in the day.

SCREAMING!!!

 

Yeah I recognise no-one either but clearly these are mainly US-acts so who cares... Good for her, I hope she got a nice check at the end of the day.

 

ALSO, is it really season 30?!??! :blink: Jesus Christ, American TV does love to over-saturate things that work, hey?!

Poor Americans. All excited for Mel C and hoping for a Spice Girls reunion. Overseas they don’t know yet Ginger Spice has been replaced by a North London posh mom who only wears white. They still think of our Spicy Girls as the ones in the movie 😂😂😂 how many flops, funny moments, changes of hairstyle and children they haven’t experienced. Poor Americans.

 

Jokes aside, how cool would be to see the girls there for a night supporting Melanie (and giving us a performance à la Victoria’s Secret to announce the American tour? ..dreams are for free, unlike tickets 😂).

Omg no way :lol: I hope the paycheck for Mel is very high, that's all I can say.

Cool

She glowing 😍🥰 We love you Mel. Kisses, VB xx

Looking fabulous! :wub: She seems genuinely excited, I hope she does well. I noticed Gleb doesn’t tend to go far in this series with his previous celebs, hopefully that changes with Melanie.

UK announcement (if she was on DWTS UK), Twitter / Daily Mail: “she’s crap”, “she can’t sing”, “z-list celeb”

US: people are nice and supportive.

 

Fingers crossed this brings her a little bit of visibility and new fans. Also, don’t forget she’s gonna be also on The Voice, in a few months. And guest on RuPaul All Stars. Hope she’s clever and release something.

I was about to comment on this.

Americans are/were big fans of girls, especially those from South America (Brazil). She has done well on breaking out the UK bubble and expand opportunities. Good strategy!

She will certainly do well there. :heart:

I suppose there could end up being quite a bit of discussion, so let's separate this off from her General Discussion thread!

 

I'll move posts here imminently x

 

Edit: Done! 3 pages of discussion before she's even stepped onto the dance floor :o If we can try and keep the subject matter on Melanie's participation and not go off on toooo many tangents, that would be ideal :cool:

So about Melanie C’s new album… kidding Jay 😁😝😘

 

Hope she does well on this I was looking up salaries for celebrities on this show and the starting salary is apparently $125,000 so I can see why she chose to do this over Strictly!
