*Status update: Dancing with the Stars has been renewed for seasons 31 and 32 but the show is moving to the Disney+ streaming service.
IF Tyra is the host of Dancing with the Stars still I will no longer watch it! She makes it about her when she struts her stuff and not about the dancing! She’s a horrible host.. And it’s just not right that you change it to Disney+ everybody should get to enjoy it and not pay to watch it.
I will start watching once Tyra is gone and the show goes back to it’s glory days. If not then continue to lose ratings and get cancelled.
Bring Tom Bergeron back as host and I will start watching again
The show should be canceled…the host does not have a clue…it’s not about her…..the talent pool sucks…the last straw for us and our friends..
Seriously, listen to your viewers! I don’t care HOW much Tyra has invested in the show, you need to get her OUT OF THERE!!! The show should be about the dancers, not TYRA! So classless.
I’m totally DONE with DWT?s? Tried to watch last year and NOPE!! This year, not even the commercials with Banks on it!! AGT fired her so stinking ABC hires her??? Bout to quit ABC altogether especially the bachelor/bachelorette crap! Tyra SUX as hostess 100%!! ABC, take lessons from the other networks, people love sitcoms, and you need to pay attention to your viewers!!!
Some of you in this comment section are just blatantly being homophobic, so chill. This was a great season.
Total racial judging. Winner was a crummy dancer. Cant stand Tyra. Wont watch anymore! Carrie is out of hand.
Always liked DWTS before Tyra. Focus on the dancers and send Tyra packing.
I love this program and it has always enjoy it. It relaxes me. However, i have not watched it consistently because of Tyra. She is tooooo egocentric and annoying, taking away some of the joy.
DWS should be canceled
Terrible host
Very little ballroom in the dances
Too many professional dancers posing as “stars”
Dancing with the stars should be cancelled. Tom Bergeron is a much better announcer. 2 women dancing together – really. Let’s get back to the real reason for the show – dancing respectfully. Let’s set a good example for the younger generation. So sad the way the direction has changed. Let’s dress appropriately and dance with class.
ratio
Should have kept Tom and jettisoned the ESPN sportscaster. This simple dance manuever is all that was needed because this show just might Cha – cha out the door and off the airwvaves. I give ABC`s manuever a big fat O.
I’ve been a big fan of this series for years, but still missing Tom Bergeron. I’m super tired of the Tyra Banks show – this isn’t supposed to be about a former super model walking the catwalk in multiple costume changes – too focused on her and not the dancers. Not interested.
The executives need to listen to the viewers! The talent has greatly gotten better! Tyra Banks is the reason you’re losing viewers! Everyone of my friends were avid viewers and now strongly dislike her. Once again listen to the viewers! Do a poll if you need the truth!
