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?
I want Tom back just not a fan of Tyra she is to out there and just makes me feel uncomfortable. Please bring Tom B back!
A big mistake puttin Banks in for Tom and Erin. Watched every season until last one. I watched first episode and was so turned off by Banks that I didn’t watch anymore. Who is responsible for such a blunder.
I would like to see Rocsi Diaz & Lil Fizz & Demetria Obitor on the show, this season & 1 or 2 Female Olympians.
If Tyra banks is a host, I won’t be tuning into the show…
Tyra banks needs to go. Her dresses are atrocious and she is always making mistakes. She sucks if she returns I won’t be watching
Totally agreed. And her dialog is not goid.
I have watched all 29 seasons. I will not watch season 30 if Tyra banks returns.
I love this show, but totally miss Tom & Erin! Seems to me it turned into a show for Tyra to be a runway model of different outfits!
Watched one (1) show with Tyra banks as host snd got so turned off that was all I watched of the last season!
I absolutely loved last season of Dancing With The Stars. The dancers and stars were wonderful. I enjoyed Tyra. She was refreshing to have announce the dancers without the bad jokes. It was probably my favorite season of all. Thank you for allowing this much needed entertainment during the Pandemic.
DWTS used to include at least one soap star each season. Sure would love to see stars from general hospital for season 30. That would be great!
I confess I do not like the new setup. I would like to have Tom and Erin back. I really enjoyed their hosting of the show and their interaction with the cast. I was, however, very happy to notice last season the dancers were putting more of the actual dance style in the dance they were supposed to do. I did not like before how they were getting so far away from the proper dance styles. I do plan to watch it this year. In fact, I am very much looking forward to it. I just wish it would include… Read more »
Would LOVE to see Wilmer Valderrama compete; STEAMY!!
I watched just briefly the season with Tyra Banks. Enough to confirm what I suspected, I do not like her as host. If you had to replace Tom and Erin get someone who is likable and does not come across as stuck on themselves! If she returns, then I will not watch the season this year either.
I will watch.
I watch this show every year, but I do not like Tyra Banks. It’s not the same without Erin and Tom
