Ariana Madix Confirmed As DWTS Contestant
The other day, DWTS pro and judge Derek Hough was seen dining at Ariana Madix’s sandwich shop, Something About Her. She was dressed super chic in a raspberry micro dress with puffed sleeves and big floral embellishments. As for Derek, he wore a tight navy T-shirt and jeans. It led many fans to believe that this was a clue that Madix was joining DWTS. However, it was much more. On Thursday, July 6th, Derek posted a quick video saying that he had something big to share on Good Morning America the following morning. Eagle-eyed fans could tell that he was coming from Something About Her.

When Lara Spencer went to do her pop culture hour on GMA, she said that Derek Hough had something important to say. He explained that he was thrilled to share the first contestant of Season 32 of GMA. More so, he mentioned that he was “mad” and immediately, it was a giveaway. Ariana Madix stepped out in the same dress she had been wearing when they had been seen having lunch so clearly, it was a promo piece they had been filming. She seemed over the moon to share the news and Lara gave a little backstory as to why she was so vital.

Fans immediately flocked to the GMA Twitter to share their thoughts. Of course, many felt that it was a poorly kept secret as rumors have been out since basically April. Others were quite excited while one person felt the show was “scraping the barrel with finding the ‘stars.'” However, there are the diehard Vanderpump Rules fans who will watch solely for Ariana Madix.

Ariana Madix may have been betrayed by her boyfriend and her best friend but now she is shining and laughing all the way to the bank. She has seen so many opportunities since her world fell apart aside from DWTS. Madix had posed for Glamour and done ads for BIC, Duracell, Uber One, and more. Now, she will get her revenge on the dance floor.
