Dancing with the Stars

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but make no mistake, this show offers real entertainment value about an art form that's often overlooked and seen as outdated.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.

Tom helped to keep the show going. I won't like the phoniness. Might skip this year and I've watched since the beginning.

Bring back Tom! This isn't about the dancing anymore it is about Tyra and her wardrobe. Why is her face the face of DWTS? Tom's never was. I want to see the dancing, so I have learned to fast forward thru Tyra's STUPID open ended questions! And when she makes blunder....its everyone's else fault. At least when Tom made a blunder he owned it and was also very family friendly. Tyra is a model...if only she could shut her mouth like a model,, it might be tolerable. She is not a skilled commentator. Even Erin was better than this. Back to the fast forward button....My opinion may not mean anything ,but there it is.

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.

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.
