The Vanderpump Rules cast has been making waves in the entertainment industry, with some members eyeing opportunities beyond their hit series. One such opportunity that caught the attention of the cast was a chance to compete on Dancing With the Stars.
Since its debut in 2013, Vanderpump Rules has propelled its cast, including Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Kristen Doute, Tom Sandoval, and Scheana Shay, to stardom. The show's popularity soared even higher in 2023 with the news of Ariana Madix and Sandoval's split, leading to various job offers for Ariana, including an invitation to join Dancing With the Stars.
While Ariana's DWTS opportunity was met with excitement, not everyone shared the same sentiment. Scheana revealed her own connection to DWTS, expressing mixed emotions about the situation.
Ariana's decision to keep her DWTS involvement under wraps initially was met with understanding from the show's producers. Meanwhile, Sandoval also expressed his interest in appearing on the dance competition show.
Following her brief stint on DWTS in season 16, Lisa Vanderpump continued to support the show and even cheered on Ariana during her own DWTS journey in season 32, where Ariana secured third place with partner Pasha Pashkov.
Despite missing out on DWTS, Scheana struggled with feeling overshadowed by Ariana's success. However, she clarified that her comments were meant as a joke and not intended to be taken as shade.
During a Vanderpump Rules After Show episode, Sandoval shared his own dream of competing on DWTS, revealing his past ballroom lessons and efforts to secure a spot on the show.
The Vanderpump Rules cast's journey from reality TV to the dance floor of DWTS showcases their diverse talents and aspirations beyond the confines of their original series.
