When word broke of Susie Evans’s appearance at “Dancing With the Stars” Live! tour stops – the tour that precedes new seasons each winter – anticipation shot through fanbase. Many already considered Evangelynce a DWS frontrunner despite their third-place finish, speculating their presence could be for season 19 confirmation, even hinting they wouldn’t mind if it played out similarly to her runner-up run. She confirmed the rumors: in interviews before performances fans caught snatches of this statement: she absolutely was asked about coming back. However, her focus right now is fully cemented on “DWTS” with Ryan, and seeing the show’s unique magic firsthand in those dazzling tour outfits, she says it’s not about which number is following after season 29… it’s just enjoying every one!
That Susie statement feels deliberate, and honestly a bit more than your typical “focused on tour” answer. Several factors hint this is genuinely her position:
- Age-Specific Fandom Dynamics
Most fans know that a lot of returning contestants land right around the one-year mark (“Bachelors and Bachelorettes” after 3 months) from their initial run – allowing enough buzz to fade so there’s not too much pressure around “they already won,” with added seasoning from the next project.
For Susie, things get different – “Dancing” happens annually on an established schedule! Her journey feels unique compared to contestants returning after typical Bachelor cycle gaps *because it requires a more real-life “onward momentum’ narrative rather than ‘taking another spin.” *She may still love the competition but is finding her own path.
* 2. She Didn’t Rule It Out entirely :
By avoiding something like an “I have a rule: once on the ballroom! No repeats!” type statement, there’s wiggle room – but it has to BE SUITABLE in this career shift. She gets the opportunity cost:
Season 19 with all its new challenges and possibilities wouldn’t detract from her brand-building projects if those fit
the post-DWTS schedule, making it less a deal-breaker. The fans’ love would translate, giving her time to find those perfect opportunities.
It’s more nuanced than some returning champ strategies, with potential for multiple “right answer” situations down the road rather than a one-time gig. It speaks to Susie as smart – knowing she has options regardless of DWS timing for now, making her more than just another familiar face!
The key takeaway is this: While fan theories about Susie rejoining the whirlwind of Dancing With The Stars will continue to circulate with fervor until we are given a definitive answer… *remember that life unfolds organically. It seems she’s choosing to seize each moment as a stepping stone, and future possibilities might surprise us all–in ways that aren’t typical “showrunner roulette”. She keeps showing fans she’s not satisfied with labels–dancer, former bachelorette; etc,–that label isn’t Susie Evans!
