So, I’ve heard this rumor for a couple of weeks now. Kenya Moore has been in LA for at least a week. She said she would be filming something there for a month if I recall correctly. It seems that post has been removed. I’ve been trying to get my source to explain how this will work with RHOA filming at the same time. So far no response so I am just going to run with the story.
Kenya will be on season 30 of DWTS along with some other interesting options. Dancer, JoJo Siwa who recently came out as LGBTQ will be the first contestant to be paired with a same sex partner! In other unusual choices, Olivia Jade, fake rowing team member and “influencer” and the spawn of criminals, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli will be shaking her groove thang. Also confirmed on the show is 18-year-old Team USA gymnast and gold medalist Suni Lee.
Kenya is the third cast member form RHOA to be on the show following Nene Leakes, who placed 7th out of 12 and Kim Biermann. Kim was the second person to leave finishing 11th out of 12. She suffered a ministroke and had to leave the competition.
Three housewives from RHOBH have been on the show previously. Lisa Vanderpump passed out during training during the fourth week and was rushed to a hospital by her partner. She claimed she had the flu but her casts mates and many viewers mocked her “fainting episode.” Despite being in poor health, fifteen minutes prior to appearing on the floor she decided to continue with the dance. She was eliminated in 10 place out of 12. Erika Girardi’s performance on DWTS was unremarkable other than bringing her Lamborgini on the stage to dance to XXpensive. Oh wait, I forgot she too had a mysterious injury that took her out of the season. She placed 9th out of 12. Lisa Rinna was by far the most successful contestant on the show making it to the semi-finals and placing fourth out of 12! All of the links in this post are worth a view prior to Kenya’s appearance. There seems to be a trend of quitting due to “injury” among the housewives.
How do you think Kenya Moore will do on the show? I mean, this is basically the last time we saw her “dance.” I’m just saying, there is not a lot of rhythm on display here.
This is great news!!! I’m so happy for her. I am sure she will be awesome.
I think Kenya will do great and I’m so proud of her for taking it on. 💘 her
Get that money Kenya!
Yeah she will get $125K to sign on and for the first two episodes. Episode one is generally a nonelimination round.So the first person is eliminated on Episode two. After that they get an addition 10K for each episode 3 & 4 then $20K for episode five and then it goes to 30K. If you are in final two episodes I think those are $50K each. It changes a bit over the years but that is a general idea of the payments. Most housewives (other than Rinna) have gone out on episode three or four.
Kenya will do good as she is a great performer. What she lacks in Rhythm will make up in performance. Also very fit so will be able to bring the energy.
Hope her dance includes twirling!!
Kenya is pretty athletic, and not a quitter, so I think she will do okay.
It says something about her abilities when Andy Cohen has more rhythm than she does. I haven’t watched the show in a long time — Kenya being on isn’t a draw for me. Wonder if any of the other ATL housewives will show up to support her.
Good for her
I hope she does well.
Me too!
Kenya is easily teachable. She will do great! Love that girl!
I think she will do well. I’ve always liked Kenya and I will be rooting for her. I remember Lisa Rinna on DWTS, I thought she was fantastic, some dances she looked as good as the pros.
That will be interesting. She is a woman that is so in charge of her life, so I can’t imagine her letting a man leading her around on the dance floor. I’m sure the rehearsals will also be interesting.
Kenya is about to Twirl her way to the championship. Her WWHL appearance doesn’t do her justice TT, remember the 70s or 80s themed party Sheree hosted in season 10? Kenya dropped it to the floor like nobodys’ business, did a split for the girlies and brought it back to centre. Honey, Ms. Moore is a trained dancer, I’m excited for her.
As a Kenya fan (although sometimes not, lol) I hope you are right. But, I’m not really that confident. I’ll be watching though! Probably on Demand the next day.
Almost choked when reading that Lori Loughlin would be on, but I also read that it is her daughter, not her, which is even worse. Bet she expects to win just because…
It’s probably already on her resume, “Winner of Dancing With The Stars” lol. I need her to go first. I think JoJo will go far and so will Suni Lee. The gymnasts always do well and JoJo is a trained dancer. If she can survive Abby Lee Miller, the grueling DWTS practices will be a piece of cake.
It doesn’t look like Kenya is enjoying the grueling DWTS schedule this week. 🙁 But Brooklyn is there with her and she posted a cute video. I added it to the end of this post. Check it out!
