Dancing with the Stars

Miss Tom and Erin terribly. I stopped watching the show with Tyra. I HATED all her crazy outfits. Was the show about HER or the Dancers? I will no longer watch the show in the future with her as a host.

DWTS 2024 producers must be really hard up for contestants. Apparently they have been through all the B and C-listers and even D-listers so they have opted for a criminal. Great message you are sending out to the world ABC producers. If you are rich enough, you not only get away with your crime and get a cushy ankle monitor instead of jail-time. But ABC will put you on TV and bling up the ankle monitor for you. It is a slap in the face of all the poor and middle class hardworking honest law-abiding people all over the world, not to mention a blow to the justice system. I guess it really is reality TV ... shame on you ABC for insulting good people everywhere.

DWTS originated out of England made it's way throughout Europe and down under, assuming different titles. BBC, responsible for the American version, entitled the British version 'Strictly Come Dancing' which spawned sequels 'Strictly Come Dancing : It Takes Too' and 'Strictly Ice Dancing'. Of course, there are the obligatory wannabe knock-offs (Fox's Idol-ized 'So You Think You Can Dance') but make no mistake, this show offers real entertainment value about an art form that's often overlooked and seen as outdated.

Some people would like to write this off as another trashy reality show, but it's definitely not. It's a classy, professional, dance competition. It's refreshing to watch a cultured show and because it's in the summer, younger audiences are tuning in. It's started a craze and it's it's boosted careers for the show's celebrities. It's a hot item on the Yahoo Search and Buzz Log, for a good reason. Don't miss the international phenomenon of...Dancing With The Stars.

I've read a lot of the comments and the complaints against Tyra are right on the money. She strutted out like it was Top Model on AGT too and it drove me nuts. I have watched some of the seasons but with her hosting, there is no way I can this season. She's so fake and isn't professional. This is not the Tyra show. But she acts like it is. I would be interested to hear how the contestants and pro dancers really feel about her on the show. It appears to me that the ratings have tanked since she joined. I loved Tom. He was so sweet, charming and he put the emphasis on the dancers and judges. Not himself.

We've been watching DWTS for many years. Tom Bergeron may well have be3n the best host on TV. Replacing him wth Banks makes no sense. She was lousy on America's Got Talent and it's unlikely she'll do better here.
