Like I said before, have The Mob Doctor put a hit on this show.
Still really like the show but it would really be so much better if the “Stars” were really stars. Am liking the All-Stars season better than most,lately. Wish that the audience voting didn’t come down to just a popularity contest. Helio was a great dancer but Bristol Palin is ( for some unknown reason) more popular, so he was off and she stayed another week. Love Tom Bergeron and for the most part Len, Carrie Ann and Bruno but wish the judges’, hopefully impartial, evaluations were worth more and the audience voting worth less.

i have just watched the elimination show, 10/9/12
why are the judges even there, since the fans do all the voting.
2 very good dancers were eliminated tonight.
2 not so good dancers were safe, we know who they are.
loved the show before, not so much now.
You do know its the combination of the judges votes and the view votes, right?
GET OVER IT ALL YOU LIBERALS, ITS ONLY A SHOW OF ENTERTAINMENT…..HOWEVER I THINK JUDGES PUT HER IN THE BOTTOM ON PURPOSE BECAUSE A FEW OTHER STARS MADE MISTAKES AND THEY GAVE THEM HIGHER RATINGS THAN HER…….JOEY ALSO MADE MISTAKES….GET ON THE PHONE AND MAKE THE 12 CALLS YOU ARE ALOUD….FOR WHO YOU LIKE…

I absolutely love the new All Stars show. It’s great to see the competition at this level and see most of the coaches get a star to work with that already has talent. I do agree it would have been more fair to have the stars with different coaches, however, I am loving the dances and the competition more than any in the past.
I hope the ratings get lower.
Cancel it! I figured they had lost a lot of viewers, which is why I was reading the blogs. I am not watching this season and barely watched last season. The selection of stars have gotten crappy over the past 4 years. It like America’s Next Top Model have run their course. No longer watching either. For the 15 season they should have had a dance off of the past season winners or someone from the top three finalist for each season.
