DWTS needs to get rid of Tyra, since have they made DWTS, all about the host. She is horrible and does not know how to speak. Way to much attention on the host. If TYRA would disappear this would be a phenomenal show and I start watching again. Previous host and or hostess were very classy. GET RID OF TYRA!!!!!
I don’t think it’s about her too much at all. She is just as classy as the previous hostess, whom I loved too by the way.
Tyra must go then I’ll watch again
The next person eliminated from the show should be Tyra Banks. Only then, will the show be worth keeping.
Please keep DWTS! But get rid of Tyra Banks – she’s terrible and completely not at ease – she stumbles over words, forgets Pros names and is simply trying to extend a runway career which has long winced passed. DWTS dancing, judges, Pros, positive supportive environment is incredible. Tyra, I’m sorry to say, brings the show down – it’s not her talent.
Tyra is just not a good host. I’m guessing she selected herself as host because she is one of the Producers? That isn’t fair!!! If you want to bring in a younger demographic,, let someone relatable to that demographic host. Tyra is too old for young. I am glad she’s only doing one wardrobe change and she is not on the runway.. She shows her true beauty and class when she dresses “softly” versus gaudy. Lastly, I don’t think people who are liars (or influencers, Olivia) or dance partners who are dating – Sharna and Brian, should have a spot… Read more »
Get the old hosts back it seems like the show is more about Tyra and her wardrobe than the stars and dancing
It used to be a fun family show about dancing… now it has mild profanity and is ALL about Tyra Banks and her clothing changes, and little about the judges comments or the dancing.
It used to be about the dancing. Do not like the Tyra Banks show.
please get rid of tyra banks and her hidious costumes please
I had watched every season since the beginning. The push to attract a younger audience has led to changes that have chased the long term viewers away (like me). The voting system change, letting Tom go for Tyra and now for the 3rd season in a row, putting a Bachelor or Bachelorette on the show has turned the show into a “lead off” commercial for the Bachelor nation. 2 seasons in a row, the winner has been a Bachelorette contestant – they vote en masse but many do not even watch the show. It is no longer a show about… Read more »
Can’t stand Tyra Banks. Show isn’t about her.
Tom and Erin have stated repeatedly they will not return to DWTS. But, never say never. I think Tom was fired because he stood his ground against the “guest” chosen (Palin’s daughter and Spicer The White House Press Liar) to dance and garner unfair votes from different venues as was shown when the “worst dancer” Bobby Bones won unfairly. It showed there was a problem in the voting system makeup. However, Tyra IS NOT the answer to viewer growth and likeability of the show. I have no interest in watching anymore without Tom, Erin, Maksim, Mark, and Tony the originals.… Read more »
Tom was So much better. Do not like Tyra at all. Would like to see her replaced.
Get rid of the host Tyra Banks and your ratings will go up.
Tyra is terrible. She obviously thinks the show is all about her. Somebody should let her know that if she remains, the entire show will be canceled.
