I’ve never watched one minute of ABC’s train wreck of a show, Dancing With the Stars, because personally, I don’t get off on seeing C-list celebrities shaking their asses on national TV.
But somebody obviously does, because the show is wildly popular amongst a group of people I never want to be associated with….ever.
The upcoming season, the 12th in DWTS history, begins on March 21, with the lineup for the new season being announced on February 28 during another wholly unwatchable ABC show, The Bachelor. And the big rumor is that the 12th season may feature a 41-year-old former quarterback know for gunslinging, just having fun, and sexting photos of his dong.
The recently retired Brett Favre is on the shortlist for a run on the ABC hit show. That’s providing he would agree to be on the show in the first place—the way old Favre flip-flops, it may take a plane ride down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi by Tom Bergeron to convince Brett to appear on DWTS.
I can see this happening, so long as Favre is serious about retirement this time, and really, who knows if he is or not. However, if Favre is done with football for good, cutting a rug on DWTS will be a great way for him to keep his name in the spotlight for a few more months, until an analyst gig, or something of that ilk, comes his way. And in return, ABC gets some increased viewership because of Favre’s less-than-stellar reputation, because if there’s anything that network TV understands, it’s that controversy equals ratings.
And judging by these moves here, my money’s on Favre to win it all…
