Colton Underwood Hints at DWTS Same-Sex Partnership with Mark Ballas

Colton Underwood, known from The Bachelor and currently cohosting Hulu's dating show Are You My First?, has formed a close friendship with Dancing With the Stars pro Mark Ballas during the filming of The Traitors season 4. Underwood expressed interest in competing on Dancing With the Stars alongside Ballas as a same-sex dancing couple, joining the ranks of previous same-sex pairs on the show. Despite feeling intimidated by the challenge due to his physical limitations, Underwood is motivated by pushing himself out of his comfort zone. The Traitors season 4 features a diverse cast including reality stars from The Real Housewives, Survivor, and RuPaul’s Drag Race, with Underwood being the sole Bachelor Nation representative this season. He described The Traitors as the most exciting show he has been part of and mentioned seeking advice from fellow Bachelor alum Arie Luyendyk Jr. The potential DWTS partnership would be notable as it would be the show’s third same-sex pairing, reflecting increased representation on the ballroom dance competition.
