For the first time in years, DWTS did not include a contestant from Bachelor Nation on the current season. Former Bachelor star Joey Graziadei took home the Mirrorball Trophy on the dance competition last season. Golden Bachelor winner Peg Munson shared her thoughts on taking the dance floor next season.

Golden Bachelor Mel Owens Nominates Girlfriend For DWTS

After a rocky start to the second Golden Bachelor season, Mel Owens pulled off a fairytale ending. He didn’t propose to his final rose winner, Peg Munson, as expected. However, he offered her a stunning diamond ring to show his commitment to pursuing a relationship with her.

The two have been on a press tour since their happy ending. Despite rumors claiming otherwise, Peg Munson and Mel Owens are eager to move forward with their lives together after meeting on the reality TV show.

In an interview with Extra, the happy couple shared their busy, busy schedule for the coming months. “We have a lot planned. We’re going to Vegas right after this. And then after that, we’re going back to Detroit, Michigan, for Thanksgiving,” Peg Munson told the outlet.

She added, “And we’re going to a University of Michigan-Ohio State game. We’re going to Hob Nobble Gobble. It’s a gala… And then we’re going to spend Christmas in Rio and then we’re going to the Super Bowl in February and then back to Vegas in December for his birthday. We have a lot planned.”

In between all that, Mel Owens hopes she finds time to compete on DWTS. “I’m gonna nominate her right now. She can dance,” the Golden Bachelor said during the interview.

Peg Munson was “1000%” into the idea. “It was one of my dreams, to be honest with you, to be able to… I would love to be the first Golden to get out there and really just, you know, work my butt off,” she said.

Peg Munson Shares Surprising Dance Background

Mel Owens reiterated nominating his girlfriend for DWTS during a separate interview with Parade magazine. “I’m telling you, the girl can dance — spontaneously! She’s got rhythm, doing her thing. It’s so much fun to watch her dance,” he said.

The former firefighter from Las Vegas, Nevada, revealed a surprising dance resume. She was part of a senior dance group called “The High Rollers” for the WNBA’s Vegas team.

“A couple of years ago they decided to have a 50 and older dance team and there were about 200 women who auditioned and I tried out and there were 23 of us, 24 of us and I made it,” she explained.

Peg Munson also danced at the former Aladdin Hotel on the strip. “It was called ‘Country Tonite.’ I danced on the strip for just a little bit. It was fun. I was in a show,” she told the outlet.

The Golden Bachelor winner would love the opportunity to represent the franchise on DWTS. Tell us in the comments if you want to see her join the dance show next season.
