The Bella Twins Share Their ‘DWTS’ Season 31 Predictions

Brie and Nikki Bella attend the 47th Annual Gracie Awards

The Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie, recently chatted about the new season of Dancing with the Stars on their podcast. They even shared their predictions for which celebrity contestants will make it into the Top 4 for Season 31, and who will win the show.

The Bella Twins Share Their ‘DWTS’ Predictions

Brie’s picks for the Top 4 were Shangela and Gleb Savchenko, Wayne Brady and Witney Carson, Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas, and Selma Blair and Sasha Farber. She predicted that D’Amelio would take home the Mirrorball, pointing to her dance talent and following.

Nikki had similar predictions. She also chose Shangela, D’Amelio, and Brady. However, instead of Selma Blair, she chose Heidi D’Amelio, who is partnered with Nikki’s husband, Artem Chigvintsev. She insisted that she’s “not just being biased.”

Nikki mentioned that there could be some “sleeper” contestants who do well, including Jordin Sparks and Jessie James Decker. She also wondered if Brady, for all his talents, will be able to handle ballroom dancing as much as everyone might expect.

The sisters also liked the fact that Charli and Heidi D’Amelio are competing as mother and daughter. Nikki revealed that she knew they were cast before it was official, and she hoped that Chigvintsev would be paired with one of them.

Nikki Thinks Brie Should Join the Show Next Season

The sisters also chatted about the pressure that comes with performing. Nikki competed with Chigvintsev in Season 25, and Brie recently competed on The Real Dirty Dancing. However, Brie emphasized that she wasn’t in front of a live audience.

Nikki suggested that Brie should compete on DWTS, saying it could maybe work next season when her son Buddy is older. As she explained, “I would just love to see what you’d do, but I’d love for you to go through that journey. You fell in love with dance when you were doing Dirty Dancing, so I think it would be neat for you to do it.”

Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars premieres Monday, September 19, on Disney+.
