Mark Ballas and the Dance of Jealousy on Social Media
Mark Ballas, a seasoned professional dancer known for his work on Dancing With The Stars, has always been at the heart of reality television. However, his recent involvement in The Traitors Season 4 has brought a new kind of excitement to his career. This shift has sparked some interesting reactions from his peers, particularly from his close friend and fellow DWTS judge, Derek Hough.
The conversation began on social media, where Ballas shared a lighthearted video on TikTok. The clip was taken during his flight home from the Scottish Highlands, after he had gone a month without using his phone. The video, though brief, captured the essence of his experience and left fans eager for more. Ballas hinted at his anticipation for The Traitors Season 4, which is set to be available via Peacock subscription. His enthusiasm was evident, especially given his history of showcasing his dance skills on DWTS.
Hough, ever the playful judge, couldn’t resist making a joke in the comments. He quipped about Ballas potentially dancing with The Traitors host Alan Cumming, referencing a previous same-sex tango that caused quite a stir on DWTS. This comment was not just a light-hearted jab but also a nod to a moment that generated a lot of discussion among fans. It raised questions about whether the ABC series would ever feature an all-male pairing on the show.
Ballas responded with a cheeky remark, teasing that he might have danced with Cumming during his time in the Scottish Highlands. While it’s unclear if this was a genuine claim or just another playful tease, it certainly added to the intrigue surrounding the season. Fans are hoping that Ballas will bring his signature flair to the show, much like he does on DWTS.
As fans await the release of The Traitors Season 4, there’s speculation about when it will air. It’s likely that the season will debut in 2026, following the conclusion of the 2025 TV schedule. This timing could create an interesting dynamic, as Ballas is expected to return for the next season of Dancing With The Stars, which will air on ABC months before the streaming hit arrives.
Ballas might not yet know if he’ll be returning to DWTS, as sources indicate that pros are often informed of their involvement only shortly before the cast announcement. This uncertainty adds to the anticipation for the upcoming season. Fans can expect Ballas to use his charm and dance skills to avoid giving away any spoilers about The Traitors during his appearances on DWTS.
For those eager to catch up on past seasons of The Traitors, a Peacock subscription offers access to older episodes. With plans starting at $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year, viewers can enjoy ad-free streams and the option to download content for offline viewing. This makes it easier than ever to stay engaged with the show while waiting for Season 4.
While the details of the upcoming Dancing With The Stars season remain under wraps, some names have already been confirmed. TikTok star Alix Earle and animal enthusiast Robert Irwin are set to join the cast, promising an exciting season ahead. Whether it will match the thrill of The Traitors Season 4 remains to be seen.
Fans can look forward to seeing Ballas on Dancing With The Stars this fall and on The Traitors Season 4 on Peacock in 2026. Although Hough is currently only involved with the former, many hope to see him on a future season so he can finally take part in a tango with Alan Cumming.
