Dancing with the Stars: Discussion Thread

They never should have dumped Bergeron. I agree they needed someone with some warmth who could say, ala Erin Andrews, the "I've been there; I get it; great job" ... hence Alfonso. He's basically Bergeron 2.0 in their eyes (AFV/DWTS which is what Bergeron did for like a decade)

 

I'm a little puzzled by the move to Disney+, but it is an interesting one. I'd have dumped The Bachelor on Hulu or something instead. It's like they 'gave up' on Monday nights. Here's a Bachelor spin-off ... I will never understand the fascination with that show though I approve Jesse Palmer as Bachelor/ette host ...

It’s a scourge. Even for CBS, I believe Big Brother and Survivor are now their biggest series in the demos alongside Ghosts and Young Sheldon. (NCIS still dominates in total viewers. I think FBI does well in both.)

I used to enjoy the Bachelor universe, but like most reality franchises, it became more and more overproduced to keep topping the last season. (I’m still doing Drag Race and Housewives, but I’m a little burned out.)

By putting DWTS online only there is one good factor, the voting. Once the show started being on only one night a week, and they decided to only count votes made during the show, much of the country couldn’t vote or if they did it was based on who they liked and not on the dances. They stopped using the votes from the prior week for the current week, as that also was annoying…if the US had one time zone or they showed DWTS on tv live everywhere then voting would have been more inclusive as only people in California who saw the routines were in studio or watching on the seas so to speak.

It looks like ABC made the right decision handing “Dancing With the Stars” off to Disney+ in favor of Monday Night Football.

During primetime Monday, the broadcast network posted a whopping 3.5 in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and 12.1 million total viewers broadcasting the NFL matchup between Minnesota Vikings vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.

For comparison, season 30 of “DWTS” (the last to air on ABC) averaged a 0.74 in the demo and about 5 million total viewers.

I feel like they've never been able to replicate the tone of the UK version of Strictly Come Dancing.  On that show there are more live performances, the results are more immediate, and there's still a bit of camp. 

More than Tyra, for me, it is the attempt to redeem GOP politicians and the various random changes in the format that has turned me off to the show. 

When a reviled public figure is cast in the UK, it is done with humor and a bit of taking the bluster out of their persona.  In the US it seems like they are either trying to humanize the pol or, worse yet, ignore the issues that made them controversial.

Because no one saw what a train wreck her time was at AGT <coughs>  I've never watched DWTS. but I said the same things to friends about Tyra hosting AGT --awful.  Replacing her with Terry Crewes invigorated that show.  Hough's stint was less than watchable.  Good luck to the fans they have left.

    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
