I think it’s going to be a big season.”

For some contestants, their journey to the ballroom came as a total shock.
During the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” reunion special in July, host Nick Viall revealed that both Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt were picked to compete.
Many of this year’s contestants have spoken out about joining the long-running competition series.
“I seriously can not wait for this journey! Dance has always been apart of my life. tysm @dancingwiththestars I’m coming for that 🪩✨,” Leavitt, 32, wrote on Instagram shortly after.

In May, Earle, 24, gushed over the opportunity.
“I’ve always been a fan of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’” she said during a “Good Morning America” interview. “I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma, and she would always say to me, ‘Maybe one day you could be on there.’”

“I was so in love with dance,” Earle, who was a competitive dancer in high school, continued. “I’m ready to challenge myself, I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun. So it was a very obvious answer to say yes.”
The son of the late Steve and Terri Irwin also expressed his gratitude for the iconic franchise.

“I am over the moon to be joining ‘Dancing with the Stars’ this season,” Robert, 21, told E! News in April. “It hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m ready to hit the ballroom. Let’s go, let’s do this. I don’t know how my dance moves are, but I’m gonna give it 110 percent anyway.”
“Any exciting new project and really bring it back to the central message that we have which is conservation and protecting animals.”
