DWTS’ Mark Ballas Wraps The Traitors and Derek Hough’s Tango FOMO Is Hilarious

BBG News

As a seasoned professional dancer on “Dancing With The Stars” for a long time, Mark Ballas is well-acquainted with the competitive world of reality TV. However, he took a new approach when he joined the cast of “The Traitors” in its confirmed Season 4, and let me tell you, it didn’t sit well with some folks who left him comments. Most notably, his friend and fellow “DWTS” judge Derek Hough, who was feeling quite left out, jokingly poked fun at Ballas by mentioning a tango.

The story unfolds primarily on social media platforms these days, where many celebrities interact frequently. Ballas shared a video on TikTok following a month-long absence from his phone during his flight home from the Scottish Highlands. Here’s a quick look at his thoughts on the experience in the video linked below:

The video might seem a bit quirky, yet I can’t deny that it got me even more excited to catch Season 4 of “The Traitors” when it’s streamable on Peacock. If Derek Hough’s talent for deducing or deceiving is as sharp as his pasodoble performance, I’d be eager to witness him in a “Dancing with the Stars” pro show. However, it appears that Derek had other distractions. He was seen exchanging jokes with Alan Cumming in the comments section about the latter dancing with “The Traitors” host.

You better not have cheated on me and Tangoed with Alan C 🕺🏼🕺🏼

This statement appears to be a remark aimed at DWTS enthusiasts, as it seems to allude to the same-sex tango they performed in Season 34. The performance sparked quite a bit of conversation about the show, with many questioning if ABC’s series would ever feature an all-male pairing.

Indeed, the exchange on TikTok didn’t delve into deep topics, it appeared that Derek Hough may have felt a touch of jealousy when his friend met Alan Cumming. Mark Ballas playfully retorted to his friend and suggested he might have even shared a dance with Cumming during his time filming The Traitors abroad.

I may have Tangoed through the Scottish Highlands with Alan C 😏

As a movie enthusiast, I genuinely hope he wasn’t joking about introducing more dance sequences, as it would be a pity for The Traitors to pass up on such an opportunity. I can’t help but feel that Season 2 underutilized Maks Chmerkovskiy’s talent, given his exceptional dance skills as a cast member. Here’s hoping Mark Ballas managed to impress the host with some fantastic dance moves amidst the elimination of celebrities.

As a die-hard fan, I find myself bracing for the anticipation as it seems we won’t be able to catch the fourth season of “The Traitors” until the 2025 TV schedule concludes. This is quite peculiar because Ballas, one of the returning pros, will grace our screens on ABC for the next season of “Dancing With The Stars,” airing well before “The Traitors” hits the streaming platform. I can only imagine Ballas employing his nimble dance moves to evade a few inquiries during “DWTS,” thus avoiding any unintentional spoilers about the outcome of “The Traitors.

It seems uncertain whether Ballas will be back on “Dancing With The Stars” for the upcoming season, since Daniella Karagach revealed that professionals are usually informed about their participation just before the official cast reveal.

As a fan excitedly anticipating the new season of “Dancing With The Stars,” I must admit that I can’t predict everyone who will grace the dance floor, but I can share some names that have been confirmed so far. TikTok sensation Alix Earle and animal enthusiast Robert Irwin are among those set to appear, promising a season brimming with energy and charm. As for whether it will match the thrill of “The Traitors” Season 4, only time – and your personal preference – will tell!

Check out Mark Ballas on “Dancing With The Stars” on ABC this fall, and on “The Traitors” Season 4 on Peacock around 2026. Unfortunately, Derek Hough is only appearing in the former show, but it would be fantastic if he could join a future season so he can dance with Alan Cumming.
