Kaitlyn Bristowe is joining Season 28 of Dancing With The Stars–-but who will be her partner?
It’s almost September, and you know what that means! It’s almost time for the premiere of one of the best ABC shows, Dancing With the Stars! I don’t know if it can get any better than last season, which culminated in Hannah Brown making it all the way to the end and winning the Mirror Ball, but ABC is certainly going to try. Especially with Bachelor Nation royalty Kaitlyn Bristowe joining the cast for Season 28!
Dancing with the Stars often selects the most recent Bachelor or Bachelorette to compete on the show, and the most obvious choice for this season would be Peter Weber, as he was the most recent lead. However, whether it’s due to Peter turning them down to spend more time with Kelley Flanagan, or he simply wasn’t selected due to his season’s controversial ending, this season of Dancing with the Stars will break the pattern and feature a lead from seasons past.
After Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season, there were rumors flying around that Mike Fleiss, Bachelor creator, had purposely blocked her from appearing on Dancing With the Stars, after Kaitlyn claimed he “hates women” and ruined her chances of appearing on the show in an interview with Nikki Glaser.
Despite what may or may not have happened in the past, former dance instructor Kaitlyn is finally getting her chance to compete for the Mirror Ball!
Alan Bersten
Alan Bersten is possibly the most obvious choice of dance partner for Kaitlyn Bristowe. He led fellow Bachelorette Hannah Brown to victory last season, and has even visited the Bachelor mansion! Like Kaitlyn, Alan doesn’t take himself too seriously, he’s constantly cracking jokes and goofing around. However, he has been known to seriously crack down during rehearsals, which would bode well since we can assume experienced dancer Kaitlyn will welcome some strict training!
Sasha Farber
Another great option for Kaitlyn could be Sasha Farber, who partnered with singer Ally Brooke last season and almost won! Ally and Kaitlyn have similar personalities; they are both very excitable, outspoken, and seem to have a lot of energy, so Sasha would surely be comfortable working with Kaitlyn. He has not yet won the Mirror Ball, so partnering with an experienced contestant could finally get him to the top!
Whoever Kaitlyn’s partner ends up being, it will be great to have her back on our screens every Monday night!
