The Bachelorette fan-favorite Tyler Cameron will star in a new reality television show called The Real Dirty Dancing. Tyler, a 28-year-old model originally from Jupiter, Florida, first stole America's heart when he was the runner-up in Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette. During the "After the Final Rose" episode, Hannah revealed that she had broken up with the winner, Jed Wyatt, and asked Tyler to go on a date with her. He said yes, but they ultimately did not get back together.
Fans loved Tyler so much that they wanted him to be the next lead on The Bachelor, but he later revealed that, although he was in talks to star on the show, he decided against it. However, becoming a part of Bachelor Nation has opened many doors for him. Tyler said that he loves to dance and that he only needed two more classes to complete a dance minor at Wake Forest University. He has dreamed of being a contestant on Dancing With The Stars since he was a kid. There have been rumors that he will compete on the show for years, but now Tyler's dancing dream is coming true in a different way.
According to Variety, Tyler will star in a new celebrity dance competition on FOX called The Real Dirty Dancing. The show is centered around the classic 1987 film, Dirty Dancing, which starred Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle and Jennifer Grey as Frances "Baby" Houseman. In the summer of 1963, Baby travels with her parents and sister to Kellerman's Lodge, a resort in the Catskills, and expects it to be boring. However, she soon becomes the dance partner of Johnny, the resort's dance instructor, and they fall in love. The Real Dirty Dancing will be hosted by Stephen "tWitch" Boss and follows eight celebrities "as they fully immerse themselves" in the film's experience and become the new "Baby" and "Johnny." In addition to Tyler, the celebrities competing on the show will be Brie Bella, Corbin Bleu, Cat Cora, Howie Dorough, Antonio Gates, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes and Loni Love. The show will be set at Virginia's Mountain Lake Lodge, which was the real location for the fictional resort in the movie. Fans of the film will recognize the music and fashion that is incorporated into the new show. The stars will be partnered with each other, and they will learn the classic dance routines from the movie and recreate some of the scenes. The iconic lift from the end of the film will be performed.
The Real Dirty Dancing will feature guest judges who will help decide which celebrity couples make it through to the following week and which couple will be "put in a corner." This is a reference to the classic scene in the movie when Johnny arrives to dance with Baby and says, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." At the end of the competition, one man and one woman will be crowned the winning "Baby" and "Johnny." The show will debut on February 1 at 9 p.m., the timeslot that was originally reserved for the Susan Sarandon drama, Monarch, which will now premiere in the fall. The Real Dirty Dancing will compete with the 2022 Winter Olympics, which will air on NBC.
The Bachelorette star Tyler's dream of dancing on a television competition show will finally come true on The Real Dirty Dancing. As he competes with his partner to become the champion, he can show the world his dance moves. Hopefully, he will win the show because nobody puts Tyler in a corner.
