What do you think? Did you enjoy the most recent season of Dancing with the Stars on ABC? Will you be tuning in to see the 30th season? Who would you like to see compete?
Tyra Banks is not the right host for this show. Bring back Tom and Erin. ABC messed with the show and shouldn’t have. If it isn’t broke leave it alone.
This show needs to be renamed from Dancing with the “stars” to Dancing with “who is that?”. They used to have better stars years ago but now I have no idea who some of these supposed stars are.
I want Tom and Erin back
Not a fan. Fake audience sounds? Really? Banks is not a good fit! Voting is just too political!
I really want Skai Jackson to come back to Dancing with the Stars for Season 30 and be Alan Bersten partner again. Everytime I watched them dance, I get chills and goosebumps. They deserved to be in the finale and win the mirror ball trophy. I really want them to win Season 30. They’re my favorite and the best. Dancing with the Stars please bring them back and please don’t have a double elimination ever again. Double eliminations are so sour and make me mad. I love them both so much!!!! #TeamreachfortheSkai forever!!!!
I have 2 comments. First, if Tyra Banks stays, she needs to stop making it her private fashion show. Second, I would love to have the traditional waltz, tango, rumba, etc. music brought back instead of the modern music that does not fit the dances at all. The music of the first 10-15 seasons was great. Bring it back.
absolutely!
I love the show snd so excited it’s back. Please find a new host as Tyra Banks just doesn’t cut it
I agree bring back Tom and Erin. I will not watch until they are! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it,
Tyra Banks is a distraction. Glad the show is coming back, but can she go?
I’ve always watched the show, but I will not if the Banks is back.
Tyra Banks HAS TO GO!!!!! I love this show but if you don’t bring back Tom and Erin then you just lost me as a viewer! Tyra is horrible!!!!
They’re never gonna cancel this show.
I have enjoyed watching DWTS since season 2 but will not watch if Tyra Banks returns as host. This is a dance contest, not a runway show.
Absolutely HATE Tyra Banks all it was was a fashion show for her…im done I want no part of this POS show anymore
I gave up watching Dancing with the Stars after the 1st episode of season 29 after ABC got rid of Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. What a shame, ABC!!!
AMEN!
Tyra Banks has to go! She does nothing for the show at all, a real dud. I’ve watch DWTS since season 1, with Tyra banks….I am finished with DWTS.
