Another 'DWTS' Cast Member Will Be Announced This Week, and Fans Are Confident They Know Who

   

After "Australian wildlife photographer, actor, zookeeper, television presenter and conservationist" Robert Irwin was announced as the first cast member for Dancing With the Stars season 34, fans have been on the edge of their seats, all sharing the exact same question: "Who's next?"

Well, Good Morning America just announced that the second cast member for Dancing With the Stars season 34 will be revealed during the show on Thursday (May 22). The soon-to-be spectacular announcement was shared to the public by longtime DWTS reporter Kristyn Burtt — found via a press release — revealing the news, followed by her thoughts on the situation, via TikTok.

"This is so smart, because remember we just had the Dancing with the Stars tour ended in April? A few days later, they announced Robert Irwin as the very first cast member, and now in May, we're getting a second cast member. I think this is brilliant PR strategy. It is keeping Dancing with the Stars in the headlines, leading all the way up to the premiere. I would expect maybe a couple of other surprises in the coming months," Burtt gushed.

She concluded, "I love that it's keeping us on our toes, but the smart thing is that they are making sure that Dancing with the Stars is a priority as a trending headline and on social media, so who do you think they'll announce? Drop your thoughts in the comments below."

Fans of the Emmy Award-winning television certainly listened to Burtt, spilling their theories in the comment section of the post, with a majority of the comments sharing a common guess: a The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star.

For those who are unfamiliar, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives follows "the scandalous world of a group of Mormon mom influencers" which "implodes when they get caught in the midst of a swinging sex scandal that makes international headlines" (per Hulu's official synopsis of the show). With the second season hitting Hulu and Disney Plus just last week, the timing of this Dancing With the Stars cast announcement seems to correlate with the buzz surroundingThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives as we speak.

"Secret Lives. The timing of it is conspicuous," one fan wrote, while another added, "I think a Mormon Wives will go on. Prob Taylor [Frankie Paul]." A third gushed, "My guess is someone from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives since it aired this Thursday! Probably Taylor, Jen [Affleck], or Whitney [Leavitt]."

Other guesses included Summer House star Lexi Wood, actress Cynthia Nixon, married podcasters Taylor and Tay Lautner and more.

Nevertheless, to find out for yourself, be sure to tune into Good Morning America this Thursday. It is safe to say we're on the edge of our seats!
