*Status update: Dancing with the Stars has been renewed for seasons 31 and 32 but the show is moving to the Disney+ streaming service.
Tyra is horrible! I used to watch religiously until she showed up! I would like to see it renewed WITHOUT TYRA!
Stopped watching the show last year when Tom and Erin were fired. Before that I had never missed an episode.
I agree with the rest!! This is not the Tyra Banks show!! Her outfits are ridiculous!! Please bring back Tom. Also, I don’t like seeing stars that have dance experience it’s not fair to the others! Probably will not watch anymore or maybe just record it and fast forward through a lot of the show!!
Amanda doesn’t belong on this show . She has prior experience from being a rockett. It’s not fair to the other dancers.
Tyra banks has got to go. Terrible host and her close are ugly. She was terrible on AGT also. She is so plastic.
I have always loved DWTS and have always loved Trya, but I just can’t watch anymore. Who’s dressing Tyra????? She needs a new costume designer. The show last season and this season is awful, terrible and boring. I do like Amanda Koots and Alan. Sorry, cannot watch it for 1 minute let alone 2 hours! Sorry
I’ve ALWAYS watched dancing with the stars but if we don’t get a new host then I’m out! It’s too bad you had to ruin a good thing!
A fan since season 1 I have not watched and will not watch as long as that self centered, no talent, Banks woman is hosting. Which is a joke in itself. I used to be a faithful ABC viewer, but all they seem to do is ruin good shows DWTS was my favorite, and that right into the ground, seems like the attention is anywhere but on the original premise of the show. Sorry, but it is too difficult to watch with the living clothes hanger pretending she can host, she cannot
I can not stand Tyra Banks. The stupidest thing they did was get rid of Tom Bergeron.
I used to love the show, but with Trya Banks, it stinks! It is not about her and her costumes, it is supposed to be about the dancing stars! Also shame on you for having Olivia Jade as part of the cast. Not watching any more! It is deteriorating fast!
I lovED the show saw all episodes. I can’t watch anymore because of Tyra Banks
It’s the Trya Banks (DWTS)show with some dancing. What’s with the costume changes You need Tom be was loved
Last season Tyra as host was super annoying. The show has become way too much about her! This season with the addition of two females dancing together, we will not be watching. The barely there outfits have made this far from a family show, and forcing us to watch this “first ever” girl with girl is nauseating. Hope others take a stand for what is right!
Totally agree!!!!!
This show has run it’s course. They should rename it, Dancing with the Nobody’s. I stopped watching it several years ago.
Love the show and I love Tyra, but not together.
I doubt I’ll watch this year.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It was great before they started tinkering with it. I did not watch last season I’m not going to watch this season or any other until they bring back Tom Bergeron, and Erin Andrews.
Tyra Banks is a beautiful woman, but she doesn’t have what it takes to be a good TV host. With Tom Bergeron, it was “look at the dancers!” but Tyra has changed that to “Look at ME!!” Please, bring back Tom. And Erin. Ooh, btw, how are the Neilsen ratings doing under Tyra???
