Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik leaves the pommel horse behind to show his moves on the dance floor. He went viral for his stunning gymnastics performance, securing the Silver medal for the U.S. Men’s gymnastics team for the first time in decades.

Bachelor Nation fans have been clamoring for Joey Graziadei to join Season 33 since The Bachelor aired earlier this year. He was heavily rumored to be part of the cast.

The rumors are true. ABC announced on Wednesday that Joey Graziadei will dance with pro partner Jenna Johnson. But he isn’t the only star from the franchise to compete this season.

Another Bachelor Nation Star Announced

ABC promised a shocking end to Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette but the real shocker happened this morning. She was named as one of the contestants for Season 33. Never have two Bachelor Nation stars competed on the same season.

Jenn Tran got her heart broken when Devin Strader ended their engagement, but her reality TV journey isn’t over yet. She had planned to return to college to finish her degree, but maybe she will return next semester.

Fans React

Bachelor Nation fans took to Reddit to share their reaction to the news:

  • I suppose this is the absolute least they could do after traumatizing her last night. I hope she has some fun!!
  • Awww good for her! It’ll help to take her mind off things.
  • Good, they owe her another six figure paycheque after last night.
  • I’m so happy. Jenn can’t dance but it’ll be a fun experience for her.
  • I’m happy for her! TPTB must have scrambled to arrange this after the backlash last night or I think they would have announced it at ATFR?

But one fan wrote, “I don’t love this for her. ABC has done her so wrong and I don’t trust them at all.” What did ABC do to Jenn Tran?

Bachelorette viewers complained the entire season about the quality of Jenn Tran’s suitors. Then they made her watch the heartbreaking moment she proposed to Devin Strader, even though they had already broken up.

What do you think about Joey and Jenn both being on DWTS? Tune in to the season premiere on Tuesday, September 17. Click here for the full cast list.
