Earlier this week, Sosa took to both TikTok and Instagram to post a video taken at BBC Studios, which produces Dancing with the Stars. Someone who works there whispers something in his ear, and he looks shocked by what he hears.
Sosa included two different on-screen captions on the separate uploads. On Instagram, he wrote, “BBC spilling the next big DWTS reveal.” On TikTok, he wrote, “This DWTS leak changes everything.” He also wrote in the caption that it “was a very productive meeting,” adding, “doing you all JUSTICE!!!”
Fans took to Reddit to share their theories on what the news might be. Some users think the show is planning to reveal another Season 34 cast member on June 22, in keeping with the trend of the previous two announcements — Robert Irwin on April 22, and Alix Earle on May 22.
One fan latched on to Sosa’s capitalization of the word “justice,” leading them to theorize that the next cast member announced for Season 34 might be former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice. Others think Sosa is just playing up how much he knows.
Could Carrie Ann Inaba Be Leaving the Show?
Another theory about Sosa’s big secret involves the show’s judging panel. A user on the DWTS Reddit pointed out a comment exchange on Sosa’s TikTok video with insider Kristyn Burtt that might lend credence to the idea of a panel shake-up next season.
A fan on Sosa’s TikTok suggested that longtime judge Carrie Ann Inaba could be leaving the show, possibly to be replaced by former pro Mark Ballas. Burtt responded simply, “CAI has been very quiet about DWTS.”
Other fans suggested that if Inaba does decide to leave the show, a female judge would most likely replace her so as not to have an all-male judging panel (with Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli). Sharna Burgess and Cheryl Burke were brought up as possible replacements.
