Bring back Tom and Erin!!
Tyra Banks is horrible !!!
Very disappointed about the return of Tyra Banks as host. I take the program so I can fast forward through her. Will have to think hard as to whether or not I will watch it, depends on who else is there.
I’m sorry I absolutely love this show, but the last season with Tyra Banks hosting was horrible. She thinks the show is about her. She also is a terrible host. My opinion…
I will not watch if Tyra Banks is hosting.
We need Tom and Erin!
I watched the first 1.5 shows last season and then called it quits. The show should not be about Tyra. BRING BACK TOM AND ERIN!!!!
Tyra Banks needs to go!! I just don’t think I can watch another season without Tom and Erin.
Bring Tom and Erin back!
ABC should suck it up, apologize publicly to Tom and Erin and BEG them to come back to the show. Tyra was the worst host of any show I’ve ever seen.
Enjoyed Tom and Erin. Not sure I will keep watching a show I thoroughly enjoyed until some fool hired Tyra Banks to host…really… BRING back Tom and Erin, it’s not a fashion show it ‘s a talent show! Love Tom and Erin.
I don’t like tyra banks, but I will still watch dancing with the stars. I wish they would get a different host.
I don’t like Tyra Banks at all. I’ll watch the dancing but not listen to her commentary.
I didn’t like Tara Banks , I didn’t watch, I won’t watch
Tyra Banks needs to go, It needs to be a contest of DANCING, NOT A POPULAR VOTE. You kick off people who are extremely good dancers, for OK dancers. Like Bobby Bones. That was a popular vote, not the BEST DANCER. Just let the judges judge.
Audiences vote for their friends even though they stink at dancing.
Please bring back TOM, not Erin. Tom made us laugh with his comments !!!
I’m so happy that it’s renewed! I hope to see some people that I’ve wanted to see on this show for a while. Or it would be cool if they have an all stars season! But either way I’m just sh happy that it’s coming back!
Love DWTS been watching each and every episode since day1! However it was a huge blow when Tom and Erin were taken off and replaced with Tyra Banks. WTH? Poor choice ! Please do not make us endure another season of FUGLY costumes modelled by her!!!!! 🙁
True! Also try letting the judges do the judging. It has become a popularity judging. Talent has been left out.
Too late! She will be back unfortunately
So sad
