ABC 2014 The Bachelor & Dancing With the Stars Lineup : Juan Pablo Galavis Reportedly Not Wanted On DWTS
ABC will not announce the 2014 Dancing With the Stars line-up until March 4. According to rumors, however, the show does not want this season's The Bachelor star, Juan Pablo Galavis.
According to E! News, those behind Dancing With the Stars were considering making Galavis a season 18 contestant. Now, however, "multiple sources" are telling the website that the 32-year-old reality star is "no longer wanted."
"He's just too risky," a source "connected to the show" said. "There's too much negativity at this point."
This week, Kalon McMahon, who was a contestant on season 8 of The Bachelorette with Emily Maynard, added more negativity to Galavis' reputation.
"I've heard he's a nice, genuine guy, but he isn't interesting or engaging," he told Radar Online. "Now the show is just make-out scenes and implied sex scenes."
According to McMahon, Galavis has a problem balancing being a father and a televised Bachelor.
"I respect him," McMahon said. "He's a single dad, but that seemed to take a backseat once he started having chemistry with these girls. Perhaps it is editing, but he seems hypocritical saying he doesn't want his daughter to see him doing these things and then there are very implied sex scenes. His daughter is across the country, so I guess, out of sight, out of mind, right?"
McMahon, who wasn't the most popular on his season of The Bachelorette, says that Galavis may be a victim of production techniques.
"Juan Pablo hasn't done anything different than the previous Bachelors, but maybe he's just a little more shameless and naive about editing," McMahon said. "... The show isn't scripted. It's real. It's just that producers are always in your ear feeding ideas to groom you into who they want you to be, and I think Juan Pablo fell victim to that."
Galavis may be out of the running for the Dancing With the Stars crown, but according to rumors, NeNe Leakes, Candace Cameron Bure and dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Derek Hough will compete. Cody Simpson is rumored to be under consideration.
