Breakdancing. While dancers see it as an art, sports fans are seeing it as an Olympic event this year. And standing out in that crowd of breakdancers is Raygun. She totally stole the show in Paris with her viral routine, bringing out playful kangaroo-inspired moves and a rolling performance that had everyone talking. What started as a joke quickly turned into a path to success for her. Success that keeps rolling in—like when DETONATED, the go-to for Call of Duty news, posted a clip from Black Ops 6 where the emote danced just like Raygun did at the Olympics. But that’s not all—she even got offers to appear on reality TV.

However, Raygun wasn’t having it. “I just don’t think reality TV is a good fit for me,” she said. In an exclusive interview with 9Honey, she opened up about how hard it was to process all the sudden fame. Unlike other Olympians, Gunn didn’t get instant adoration—her performance sparked some mixed reviews, with her “memeable face” becoming a trending topic. After the Olympic stage, memes flooded social media, highlighting her more unusual moves. But here’s where it gets interesting: those reality TV offers that Raygun rejected? There’s a new twist in that!

Is Raygun on a reality TV?

Yep, you heard that right! There’s a twist, not in the offer, but in Raygun’s decision. She had initially turned down reality TV, but it seems like things have taken a new turn. A recent insider leak from Network 10, shared by Pedestrian TV, has stirred the pot, revealing some interesting updates. After her viral moment at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the buzz has been growing that Dr. Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn might be making her way to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025. After some back-and-forth on the decision, the inside scoop hints that Raygun is now seriously considering the offer, and the show is willing to spend big bucks to have her on board.

According to the inside source spilling the tea to Yahoo! Lifestyle, the negotiations have been heating up, with the B-Girl now at the top of the producers’ list. Initially, Raygun’s team declined the opportunity, but it seems the reality TV window is closing fast, and the idea of potentially turning down a six-figure payday is starting to feel like a missed opportunity. “Raygun is one name at the top of the list who bosses have been working on since she went viral,” said the insider. “She’s realizing her window to make big money is quickly closing — and it’s unlikely she’ll ever get a six-figure sum to do a show ever again.”

This revelation isn’t the first time that Network 10s interest in Raygun has surfaced. When the initial rumors about her appearing on the popular show hit the headlines, an anonymous source mentioned how she would be the “ideal campmate.” They added, “The public will want to hear her story in the jungle. Love her or loathe her, she has everyone talking.” It seems that Raygun’s viral moments, along with her rise to fame, have made her a prime candidate for a spot in the jungle, with the producers eager to cash in on all the buzz she’s generated. And let’s not forget, this isn’t her only avenue of success and fame as there is something else too!

Another success for the viral breakdancer!

You got it! Raygun is truly the talk of the town, and it’s not just about the Call of Duty emotes or the reality TV rumors—there’s even more buzz surrounding her! Just a few days ago, during an NFL game, Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum became the latest to join the Raygun fan club. After securing a crucial interception late in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bynum celebrated in true Raygun style—busting out some epic moves inspired by the breakdancing sensation herself.

Bynum’s teammates circled him as he dropped to the ground, throwing some smooth dance moves. When asked about it afterward, Bynum confessed, “I’m a big fan. She went out there and had fun, and that’s what I do on the field.” But it doesn’t stop there—Raygun’s hype is only growing! Even the GOAT herself, Simone Biles, has thrown some serious praise her way. In a video shared by Netflix on X, Simone couldn’t hold back her excitement, saying, “Raygun girl. Raygun girl. She made breakdancing popular. Everybody was watching you, girl!”

Biles went on to show major respect for Raygun’s Olympic journey, recognizing her as one of the best, no matter the critics. “Everyone that’s at the Olympics is the best in their country at what they do, no matter if we agree or not. So go, Raygun!” With such support from a legend like Simone, it’s clear that Raygun is cementing her place in the spotlight. What once started as a viral meme moment has now turned into something much bigger for Raygun. She’s climbing the ladder of success, racking up endorsements, fans, and—dare we say—cash along the way!
