Jana Kramer Spills the Tea on Dancing with the Stars Experience
Let’s dissect this delightful drama, shall we? In a recent episode of her podcast, Unmask and Unwhine, Jana Kramer took a break from her usual banter to expose her less-than-stellar feelings about competing on Dancing with the Stars. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t all sequins and spotlight. Joining her was fellow former contestant Candace Cameron Bure, who chimed in with relatable feelings of insecurity. Kramer, who graced the DWTS floor in season 23 and landed a respectable fourth place with partner Gleb Savchenko, candidly confessed, “I hated Dancing with the Stars because… I don’t know how to dance.” Now, that’s a plot twist worth pirouetting over!
Kramer elaborated that while she had a ball with The Masked Singer—where a mask liberates you from the pressure of being judged—DWTS was a whole different ball game. “It was my least favorite of the shows,” she clarified, offering a cheeky nod to her history with reality competitions, including her debut on CMT’s Can You Duet back in 2008. Meanwhile, Cameron Bure echoed her sentiments, stating she felt similarly insecure during her own DWTS journey. Yet, there’s a twist: despite the nerves and initial dread of being eliminated, both ladies retained a sense of admiration for the experience.
As the conversation rolled on, Cameron Bure admitted her disappointment at being the first to go in her group on The Masked Singer, hilariously mentioning her skyrocketing cortisol levels before the results were revealed. Kramer, too, expressed a mix of relief and sorrow upon her departure from the competition, igniting a relatable discussion on the bittersweet nature of competition.
Who knew reality TV could reveal so much about our insecurities? If only they offered therapy sessions alongside the sequins!
