Lisa Rinna, the ever-vibrant star known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is throwing a curveball into the reality TV world. She's got an interesting proposal for her Traitors season four costar, Maura Higgins – why not hand her the roses on The Bachelorette? Fresh off the buzz of joining season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, Maura seems to have captured Lisa's imagination.
At the CELSIUS Soccer Classic in the heart of Los Angeles, Lisa dropped this reality TV bombshell to Erin Lim Rhodes from E! News. “I think she should be the Bachelorette,” Lisa passionately shared. “I think she should do everything, because she's such good television. She can do it all.” With Maura's vivacious personality and on-screen charisma, Lisa's suggestion might not be too far-fetched.
“I am so excited, because that was a life-changing experience for me. It's going to be life-changing for her,” Lisa reflected on Maura's upcoming dance floor adventure.
Despite the exciting talk surrounding The Bachelorette, Maura has her hands full preparing for her stint on DWTS. The Irish beauty will be strutting her stuff in the dance studio, vying for that coveted Mirrorball Trophy. And you can bet Lisa will be cheering for her from the sidelines, reminiscing about her own memorable DWTS experience back in 2006.
But Maura isn't the only one bringing the heat to the DWTS stage. Summer House star Ciara Miller will also be joining the cast, stirring up even more excitement in the ballroom. Lisa, with her reality TV expertise, is firmly backing Ciara amidst the ongoing Bravo drama. “I am team Ciara,” she confidently stated.
While the spotlight shines brightly on the celebrities, fans are always curious about what goes on behind the curtains of DWTS. From how much contestants earn to the secretive pairing process – there's plenty to uncover.
Past reports suggest contestants earn an initial $125,000 for rehearsals and the early episodes, with potential to rake in more if they stick around. It’s Hollywood, after all – where everything’s a bit larger than life! Pros and celebs are paired based on a mix of height, build, and personality compatibility, ensuring the best chance for showbiz chemistry. As former showrunner Rob Wade explained, "We don't pair people who aren't going to get on."
So, as the DWTS season 35 cast continues to take shape, fans eagerly await the dazzling performances, the intricate costumes, and the dazzling drama that only the dance floor can deliver. With Maura and Ciara in the mix, it's guaranteed to be a California classic!
