Dancing With the Stars<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>season 32 is inching closer and closer<\/a> \u2014 and the stars are getting equally enthusiastic about their return<\/a> to the ballroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually enjoy when they do the announcement, I like to experience it myself. I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh yeah, let\u2019s find out,\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/b>judge Derek Hough<\/strong><\/a> exclusively told\u00a0Us Weekly\u00a0<\/i>in April 2023<\/a> of the cast list, noting he doesn\u2019t like to find out who will be competing before the official reveal. \u201cIt\u2019s always one of those things where you\u2019re just like, \u2018How do they keep doing it? How do we keep coming back?\u2019 Each season seems to be greater and better than ever. The cast are always fantastic and even the people that you\u2019re like, \u2018Who\u2019s that?\u2019 They end up being your favorite person. It\u2019s a great show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nearly three months later, the\u00a0<\/b>six-time mirrorball champion<\/a>\u00a0helped announce that Ariana Madix<\/strong> <\/a>will be one of the season 32 contestants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a coinciDance bumping into our newest celebrity for\u00a0@dancingwiththestars,\u201d <\/b>Hough <\/b>captioned a July 2023 Instagram<\/a> video of himself walking into Madix\u2019s Something About Her sandwich shop<\/a>. \u201cWho\u2019s ready to watch\u00a0@arianamadix\u00a0hit the iconic Ballroom floor this Fall?\u201d<\/p>\n

Madix \u2014 who co-owns the L.A. eatery with Vanderpump Rules<\/i> <\/i><\/b>costar Katie Maloney<\/strong><\/a>, which is set to open later this\u00a0<\/b>summer \u2014 will be the second\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Pump<\/i> <\/i><\/b>Rules\u00a0<\/i>star to tackle the ballroom contest.

Which \u2018Dancing With The Stars\u2019 Judges Are Returning?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Following season 31, longtime head judge Len Goodman<\/a> announced his retirement<\/a>. Derek confirmed to\u00a0Us\u00a0<\/i>in April 2023 that the production would not replace Goodman, who died later that month at the age of 78<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is gonna be it. I think [they are] kind of realizing that three is the right amount,\u201d Derek exclusively told\u00a0Us<\/i>, referring to himself, Carrie Ann Inaba<\/strong><\/a> and Bruno Tonioli<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cAnd what\u2019s good about three is that it also allows space for guest judges<\/a>. We did have\u00a0Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0last season, but, like, five judges \u2014 that\u2019s a lot. I was like, \u2018We\u2019re good.\u2019 I think there\u2019s a lot more flexibility in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
