Overview
- Derek Hough said he will compete on Survivor if Boston Rob Mariano signs on for Dancing With the Stars, making the offer in Instagram Stories this week.
- Survivor host Jeff Probst replied on Instagram encouraging Hough to do it, predicting Mariano could win DWTS and saying that would put pressure on Hough to win Survivor.
- Mariano reposted Hough’s clip with trash talk and joked about bringing back a 39‑day Survivor season “just for you.”
- Hough acknowledged the escalating dare by reposting Probst’s message with “Me and my big mouth,” noting he only recently started watching Survivor and had discussed a possible appearance with Mariano.
- The exchange remains an informal social‑media challenge with no casting decisions announced, as coverage highlights Mariano’s extensive reality‑competition résumé and his recent visit to DWTS to support Dylan Efron.
