Many fans said: “Love this” while others commented “yasss.”
‘ROUGH START’
While fans were thrilled with the addition of Jordin, they were not so set on everyone joining the cast.
Quickly after the news dropped that the D’amelios would be joining, DWTS fans slammed the show and said the casting was “off to a rough start.”
“It’s so embarrassing when parents of famous kids try to become relevant,” wrote one Twitter user.
“Off to a rough start!!” said another.
A third asked: “Why her mother? Who is she?” while one said, “Not awesome!”
“They ran out of celebrities,” joked one viewer.
“Here we go again. Already letting me down again,” one fan tweeted with a bunch of face-palm emojis.
“Actually impressed they were able to get Charli but why do they want her mom?” asked another.
“Also their family has a show on Hulu, that’s probably why they signed Charli and Heidi,” pointed out a Twitter user.
For the first time in the show’s history, DWTS will stream live on Disney+ after being dropped by ABC.
Season 31 premieres on September 19.
