Dancing With The Stars Season 33 is right around the corner. With a premiere date of September 17, it’s time to start guessing which celebrities will be on the season. Here’s our predictions and who their partner should be (assuming the professional cast is the same as last year).


1 . Sasha Colby

We hope to see the return of drag stars on DWTS season 33. There’s no one better to bring drag back than superstar Sasha Colby. We loved Shangela paired with Gleb Savchenko, and would love to see Savchenko paired with Colby on this season!

2. David Archuleta

American Idol icon David Archuleta was rumored to be joining DWTS Season 32, but didn’t. Since we love Archuleta, we’d love to actually see him on DWTS! Archuleta needs a bold professional partner, possibly one that wants to defend their winning title? We’d love to see Archuleta with none other than Val Chmerkovskiy.

3. Ilona Maher

It’s no secret that DWTS loves recruiting Olympians, so expect to see more than one on this list. Team USA Rugby member Ilona Maher may get an invite this season, since she’s absolutely dominating social media. We’d love to see Maher paired with one of last season’s finalists, Pasha Pashkov.


4. Sutton Stracke

Earlier this year, Real Housewives star Sutton Stracke was rumored as a celebrity joining DWTS season 33. At the time, gossip account Deux Moi shared a tip from an anonymous source claiming that a “very fancy” star of RHOBH “who wasn’t fond of Magic Mike’s dancing has been signed for DWTS.” We think she’d be paired with Sasha Farber.

5. Nick DiGiovanni

MasterChef alum and social media star Nick DiGiovanni would be perfect for DWTS Season 33. The chef is pretty popular on both TikTok and YouTube. We think DiGiovanni would be paired with DWTS pro KoKo Iwasaki.

6. Angeria Paris VanMicheals

It would be super cool to see more than one drag queen on this DWTS season. There’s none better than recent Drag Race All Stars winner Angeria Paris VanMichaels. We think that VanMichaels would be paired with a solid professional partner, like Alan Bersten.


7. Liam Payne

It’s about time we saw a One Direction member on DWTS. Payne has endured a year of hardships, rehab for sobriety and a string of health problems, so DWTS would be the perfect platform for his comeback. We would love to see Payne paired with Jenna Johnson.

8. Regan Smith

Another Olympian we’d love to see join the DWTS roster is Swimmer Regan Smith. Smith is an 8x Olympic medal winner. In Paris, she competed in 4 x 100m Medley Relay – Mixed, 4 x 100m Medley Relay – Women, 100m Backstroke – Women, 200m Backstroke – Women and 200m Butterfly – Women. We think she’d be paired with Artem Chigvinstev.

9. Joey Graziadei

Up next is most recent The Bachelor alum, Joey Graziadei. DWTS typically casts the most recent Bachelor or Bachelorette, so this prediction is a bit of a safe choice on our part. We think Graziadei would be paired with Emma Slater.

10. Mr. Beast

It’s honestly a shock that we haven’t seen YouTuber Mr. Beast yet on DWTS. This YouTube star, who has 308 Million subscribers, is one of the biggest on the platform. We think he’d be a good pair with Britt Stewart.

11. Noah Lyles

After Noah Lyles shocking 100m track win, he’s definitely going to get a DWTS bid this fall. We think that he would be paired with Daniella Karagach.

12. Robert Irwin

Since Bindi Irwin’s DWTS win in Season 21, fans have wanted her brother, Robert, to follow in her footsteps. There have been rumors for YEARS about Robert joining the show, but we’re hoping this year will actually be the year. We could see Robert paired either with a new DWTS pro, or returning pro Peta Murgatroyd.

13. Sha’Carri Richardson

Another track star set to earn a bid from DWTS is Sha’Carri Richardson. This track star competed in Paris in both Women’s 100 meters and 200 meters races. She rose to fame in 2019 after breaking the 100 m collegiate record at the NCAA Division I Championships. This race made her one of the ten fastest women in history, at only 19 years old. We think she’d be paired with Brandon Armstrong.

14. Matt Rife

Finally, DWTS always casts one celebrity that has either been apart of a scandal, or who has created a scandal. In 2023, Matt Rife gained national fame on TikTok, with his standup comedy crowd work. Since gaining fans on the platform, Rife embarked on a comedy tour and even released a Netflix special. Fans quickly turned on Rife due to his jokes about domestic abuse, as well as his anti-women remarks. We think he’d be paired with DWTS standout pro Rylee Arnold.
