*Status update: Dancing with the Stars has been renewed for seasons 31 and 32 but the show is moving to the Disney+ streaming service.
Please get rid of Tyra! She spoils the show. I don’t know if I can take another season of her.
Tyra was the worst decision they could have made for the franchise, period. Full stop.
Tom was the heart of the show. Erin was the interviewer they needed. The powers-that-be really screwed this up. If they don’t fix it, the franchise is over.
cannot stand Tyra bank!! show got worst with her hosting, its all about her!!
bring back tom and Erin and the ratings will go up!!
Also should have called the show ” The Tyra Banks Show ” what is the show about her or the ones dancing . You have screwed up a really good show that I will not be watching no more.
Ever since Tom is gone it’s not enjoyable
I just read every comment posted here and there seems to be an obvious trend. I sure hope someone from ABC reads these. I think it’s obvious Tyra is not favored as a show host, on DWTS or elsewhere. How does she keep getting these opportunities?
Used to be the only show I watched on television. Now I only stream movies. I tried to struggle through a few of the shows last season and this season but it just isn’t worth it. Tyra is awful. Frankly the whole cast seems to have lost their chemistry that made the show seem like a family having a great time together. Now everything seems like forced enthusiasm.
Do not like Tyra Banks as the host. Renew the show but get a new host.
Jojo Siwa is a professional dancer! She has been involved with dance from a young age. How is this fair to the other dancers. If she wins, Iam never watching again!
I always watched DWTS until Tyra become host. Will not watch as long as Tyra is the host. Who cares how many outfit changes she makes during a show. The show is about the dancers. I have been watching The Voice and thoroughly enjoying it. The Voice has some really talented singers this year.
I was away for a month so recorded DWTS. I am now forcing myself to watch. I fast forward through Tyra. What a shame! I loved listening to Tom and Erin. Bad move ABC!
Me too.
Always watch the show until Tyra Banks took over and now the show is all about her she’s obnoxious so I don’t watch anymore
I love watching dwts, but I don’t like Tyra for this show. It’s not the Tyra banks show. The show is about the stars and how the progress during the season.
I quit watching when Tyra Bank started hosting. Show has gone downhill ever since she came on board. Big Mistake, Producers!
Tyra has ruined DWTS! I mute my television when she talks! She is very annoying and is the worst when she asks questions to Stars after they dance! I love to watch the Stars & Pro’s dance.Tyra needs to go! The music for the dances for Season 30 has been the worst! This Seasons Halloween show was very disappointing! There aren’t any Stars on DWTS anymore! Get rid of Tyra & get Stars on the show! If the show returns for Season 31, it needs to to let Tyra go! Get 2 New Hosts!
I am surprised that Tyra Banks is still with DWTS. She is the worst possible host any TV show could have. Tyra is a beautiful woman, true, but when she opens her mouth to speak, her beauty disappears and we are left to wonder at how inappropriate her words are. Tom Bergeron is a great speaker and he always made us feel comfortable.
