Tyler Cameron is having a rough time pitching potential team names to his Dancing With the Stars professional partner Sharna Burgess.
“Our new team name, guys! Team Shart,” Tyler, 33, announced via Instagram on Thursday, September 3. “You take Sharna and Tyler, you put them together and you’ve got ‘Shart!’”
Sharna, 41, was not exactly enthusiastic about Tyler’s poop-related idea, insisting that Team Shart is “not the name” for their partnership.
“Everyone needs a good shart every once in a while … You get two a year,” Tyler argued. “If you do more than two, it’s criminal.”

“Two a year? What are you, 5?” an incredulous Sharna asked the Bachelor Nation alum. “I would say one is criminal. Sir, at your age, a shart is criminal!”
As Tyler kept up the poop jokes, Sharna jokingly complained about being partnered with “a child” when she already has 4-year-old son Zane at home. (Sharna shares Zane with fiancé Brian Austin Green. He also has four older children from previous relationships with exes Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox.)
“That’s not our team name,” Sharna declared, before urging fans to pitch better ideas, saying: “We need a team name. I didn’t realize we still did team names. But we need a team name! Let’s think of something that is not poop-related. I have enough of that at home!”
Unfortunately for Sharna, the team name seems to have caught on as Tyler shared his own video announcing “Team Shart” as their nickname on Saturday, September 5, while seemingly passing gas in front of his pro partner. Tyler’s fiancée, Tate Madden, and DWTS pro Mark Ballas even got on board by reposting the icky team name.

Us exclusively reported that Tyler would be part of this year’s Dancing With the Stars celebrity cast in August, before his pairing with Sharna was officially unveiled by ABC on Wednesday, September 2. Sharna is returning to the pro ranks after a five-year absence.
Tyler subsequently revealed on Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast that he nearly earned a dance minor in college — though he insisted his previous experience won’t give him any edge over fellow competitors.
“I was not a great dancer at all. Basically, I got thrown into dance classes because I failed out my first semester of college,” he recalled. “My coach was like, ‘You’re gonna take dance classes to get your GPA up.’”
He went on to say, “It was me and 30 girls. I was like, ‘This is amazing.’ I got to be the Bachelor before I ever went on The Bachelorette, you know? None of the girls paid any interest in me, but I was in there giving maximum effort and giving the worst pirouettes and, like, the worst ballet dances ever.”

Tyler also got to show off his dance skills as a contestant on 2022’s competition series The Real Dirty Dancing, where he finished as runner-up to winners Corbin Bleu and Cat Cora.
“I will say, that is like one-fifth of what we’re doing here,” he said of The Real Dirty Dancing. “It was fun and I learned a little bit, but our dances are probably a quarter of what we do for our dances [on DWTS]. That was, like, a two-week show, but this is the real deal.”
Dancing With the Stars premieres with a two-night event on ABC and Disney+ starting Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET.
