Will Dancing With The Stars Season 30 Be An All-Star Season???

As you might have read, Dancing With The Stars has been renewed for Season 30 this Fall. However, could the new upcoming season be an “All-Stars” Season as well? Tyra Banks and Cheryl Burke have mentioned it to TV Insider here and here. Entertainment Tonight also entertained the idea with Sharna Burgess. Check out this reaction and who Sharna would like to dance with if the idea came true….

“I would say, ‘Heck, yes, let’s do an All-Star season!'” she exclaimed, telling ET she’d like to compete with her season 23 partner, James Hinchcliffe, again. “James Hinchcliffe, I’m calling you. You’re coming back! We need to win this thing.”

“I have no idea. I have not heard that it is an All-Star [season], but wouldn’t that amazing for season 30?” she added.

What do you think? Be sure to read Entertainment Tonight for more thoughts on the upcoming season and even the thought of Sharna’s new boyfriend, Brian Austin Green, dancing as well (if it’s a regular season). Let us know your thoughts in comments! I would love to see an All-Star season happen again.

Did the “Dancing with the Stars” Judges “Hate” these Former Professional Dancers???

I’d like to hear your thoughts on this article that I saw today.  Lance Bass and Vivica Fox claim that the judges hated their pro partners.  Here’s a quote from the article in Entertainment Weekly – click the link to read the whole thing.

On Thursday night’s series premiere of E!’s Overserved With Lisa Vanderpump, the conversation between Fox, Bass, and Lisa Vanderpump turned to something they all have in common: the competitive dancing series.

“I made it to week four and I was a sore loser,” said Fox, adding that her partner Nick Kosovich was one of the “main reasons why we got kicked off.”

“You got to play the game,” she told the others. “My partner made too many requests.”


Bass went on to say that even after he and Schwimmer made it to the finale, the reception wasn’t great.

“We go have drinks at one of the judges’ houses and they had a little too much to drink and one of those judges was like, ‘You know we can’t stand your partner?'” said Bass. “I was like, ‘Why am I working my ass off then?'”

My thoughts? Well, I think it’s a possibility. Neither of these pros lasted a super long time on the series. But I’m not sure I agree with the reasoning that they “asked for too much” – Derek Hough, for one, asked for everything, as did Cheryl Burke. Both of those two, and possibly other pros from back in the say controlled everything related to a performance including the music, the costumes, the themes…..everything. There is video of Cheryl nixing a song for her partner and Derek has described just how much control he used to have over what his partner did. A lot. Of course there was still a ton of producers “producing” and manipulating the show. Perhaps it was a matter of HOW Derek and Cheryl and others “asked” for things?? But it’s still odd, because Cheryl seemed a bit rude in the clip, to me. I dunno. I think it’s very possible that those two pros were not well liked, but I’m not sure that the reason for the dislike is necessarily correct.

Thoughts??

DWTS Producer (Tries to) Defends Himself After Letting Tom Bergeron Go From Season 29

Yeah, this dude is full of crap. Get a load of this from ET.

“It’s all about evolution,” he told reporters Wednesday during Day 2 of ABC’s virtual fall press day. “Any show like this that has been on for many, many seasons needs to continue to evolve. So I think changing that host is all about evolution. It was all about making the show feel fresh, making it feel new and make it reach out to a new audience — as well as the audience that’s been there for years.”

While viewers have lamented the absence of Bergeron and Andrews, Llinares believes switching from a two-host format to one has been “working brilliantly.”

“I think it’s really refreshed the pace of the show. It’s taken it to a new place, in terms of moving fast and feeling different. I think that there’s a real danger when a show has been on for a long time that the audience almost gets bored of the rhythm of it. It doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with it, just that it gets a little boring,” he said. “I think it’s changed the rhythm of the show in a really exciting way. I think Tyra is doing an amazing, amazing job. It’s been wonderful having her energy in the ballroom and her expertise as a host in the ballroom. She’s brought a new life to everything.”

If he had left it at the first paragraph, I might have believed him. but then he goes on and on. And not just the above…he carries on even after saying “she brought new life to everything”.

He doubled down on parting ways with Bergeron and Andrews, reiterating that it’s about keeping the show “relevant.”

“When a show’s been on for this many seasons, it’s very easy to stay in a place where it doesn’t feel like there’s anything wrong but does the show feel fresh, exciting and new? It’s really tough… We’ve always been successful on all those shows where we continue to evolve and continue to move things on. That’s something we’ve been doing right across the board with this show,” Llinares explained. “The host is part of it, bringing Derek in is part of it, but also throughout the fabric of everything on the show — the set has been updated, it feels more current and the way we’re filming the packages… all of those things take the show into a place where it feels more current. We wanted to make the show feel relevant, but still hold on to the heart of the show.”

There’s this old saying “Me thinks he doth protest too much”….meaning, if you’d shut the fuck up about it we might have believed you. But the constant blathering on makes you sound…guilty. Apologies to Shakespear fans, I know the actual line is: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

He also claims he’s been talking to Derek “for months” and the original plan was to have the original three judges plus Derek. Um, can you imagine four judges and 15 couples AND Tyrant?? Yeah, me neither.

Derek Hough Talks Carole Baskin, DWTS and World of Dance

Sort of cross posted from PureDerekHough…excerpt is a bit different since this is a DWTS site.

This is an illuminating article from TV Line with what Derek had to say after last night’s show (excerpt below). He also says he plans to dance later in the season.

Hough told TV Insider and a small group of reporters after the show that it’s more than a bit challenging when he sees the clock ticking away with only a few seconds left and he needs to render his decision. “Carrie Ann [Inaba] was like, ‘Let me tell you why [I’m choosing who I’m choosing] and Bruno’s like, ‘Let me tell you why…’” Hough notes with a good-natured chuckle. “Then, it was, ‘Derek you have to give us an answer!’”

Fortunately, Hough, who first appeared on the show as a pro dancer in Season 5, knows the drill. “Hey, it’s my job,” he says. “I can’t complain.” Plus, he reveals, to his understanding, he won’t be the one called upon to be a potential tie-breaker each week. “It’ll trade off,” he muses, adding wryly, “but I want to thank everyone for leaving it up to me!”

—-

“It really was the progress that [Carole] had made,” says the professional dancer of choosing the Big Cat Rescue owner, who caught himself being lost in the “beauty and grace” of Baskin’s Viennese Waltz with partner Pasha Pashkov. “I had to look at it from that perspective.”

About his development deal:

“There are already a few projects that are coming up,” he teases. “I felt like it was a right fit with ABC and Disney for things we have in mind.”

A bit more about this season of DWTS:

Hough’s in no rush for couples to leave the competition, but he is hoping there will soon be more air time for him to go into detailed critiques that will ideally help couples deliver more entertaining routines.

“There are definitely moments where I’d love to say, ‘Choreographically, try this approach,’” Hough says. “Sometimes, that will be said off-screen [but] I genuinely want to help people improve.”

Derek Hough Returns to DWTS as Judge and Other Changes to The Show’s Format

I love how people are all surprised he’s coming back as a judge. Hello?? He’s a logical choice to replace Len, who appears to be stuck in London. Wish I was stuck in London. 🙂 There are worse things…like being a pro who ISN’T friends with Derek right now. 😀 Seriously, though….those folks don’t have to worry, Derek isn’t likely to behave how they themselves would behave. 😉 And you know how rare it is that DWTS poaches from another “Big 4” network?? Times must be tough…

Deadline also reports on other changes to how the show is produced to keep everyone safe:

The judges’ desk will be widened to maintain eight feet between each judge and dancers will be asked to stand at a distance of at least eight feet from the judges during the judging process.

The rehearsal dance studio has been equipped with remote cameras rather than in person camera crews as in previous seasons.

There will also be no audience for the show, which will still be produced and aired live, or band, and the team at BBC Studios have redesigned the studio as a result. Llinares said, “What we didn’t want to have in the ballroom was loads of empty seats, we wanted it to look like there was a purpose to it so we’re redesigning the ballroom. We’re going to put in some extra screens, it’s going to look like the show was always designed to look this way.”

Seriously, the music was canned half the time anyway.

Gone also are backing dancers and big set pieces – there will be no dance routines with cars or castles in order to cut down on the number of people needed to put together the production.

The sky lounge has been removed from the set so the celebrities will practice social distancing while watching the other celebrities’ dance from the second floor balcony.

Is this where I say “I told you so?” 🙂

The dancers, both the celebrities and pro dancers, will be tested five times a week. “The central premise of the show is two people who are in very close proximity with each other. They as a couple on the show will stay as a pod – they won’t come in to contact with the other couples to the point that we’ve got three set of married pro dancers and they will be living separately for as long as they’re in the competition,” he added.

Tyra Banks Talks to Extra about DWTS Season 29 and Derek Hough

Geezus, this constant need to chase a younger audience. They’ve been doing it for years and it always makes the show WORSE instead of better. I don’t know what makes them think that Tyra and her “pixie dust” is going to be an improvement.

She also spoke to ET and all but confirmed that Len is going to be staying in England and they’re not sure how they’re going to use him. That sure leaves a big hole for someone like Derek to step into!

“Carrie Ann is definitely back, and Bruno, who I can’t wait to vibe with because he is just as crazy as I am,” Banks, 46, confirmed to ET. “At the moment, we’re trying to figure out how to incorporate Len Goodman because he is in England and there’s all these travel restrictions because of COVID-19. So we’re trying to figure that out.”

And if this doesn’t scare you about this season, nothing will…

Banks, who previously was a judge for shows like America’s Next Top Model, added that having to sit back and simply watch the dances isn’t going to be an easy feat.

“That’s going to be the hardest thing in the world. I’m not a professional dancer but I still know performance and I know it well,” she explained. “So to have to hold back and not be able to [critique], like, that’s not my role. My role is to be the cheerleader, to be the champ, to be that ringmaster and to be, I call it, the hype-man DJ. To keep the room pumped.”

Banks joked, however, that she “might have to cuss out a judge every now and then” though.

I have a feeling I’m going to be screaming at my TV A LOT “You’re a model fer god’s sake, shut the hell up!!” She goes on to say this about Derek…which makes it sound like he’ll be neither judge NOR pro….either that or she’s dumb, not realizing he’s been a judge for four season on a far superior show.

“Yeah, Derek is coming back in a very interesting way,” Banks shared, playing coy. “I am very excited about that because I know Derek and he’s fun. But you just gonna have to wait and see how he’s coming back. You’ll know next week!”

Hough’s official role will be revealed next Tuesday during Good Morning America.

PureDWTS Season 27, Week 2 – Nikki Glaser Does the Joe Rogan Podcast, Spills Some Tea

So Nikki was on the Joe Rogan podcast yesterday, and naturally the subject of DWTS came up.  I gotta say – I really feel for Nikki now.  I think I thought she was cool with how it all went down, based on how gracefully she seemed to accept her elimination, but it turns out she was actually pretty hurt by Len’s comments in particular.  Apparently Gleb also said something that stung a bit.  Also worth noting: Joe makes a very good point about the laws governing reality shows, and reaffirms what Heidi & I have been saying for awhile: you can’t just “rig” the votes.  Worth a watch – DWTS talk starts at the 9:00 mark:

Could This Be Len Goodman’s Last Season To Judge The US Version Of DWTS?

So, is this Len Goodman’s last season of judging Dancing With The Stars (the US Version)? According to The Sun via the Daily Mail it could be and I wouldn’t be surprised.

The former head Strictly judge still appears on Dancing With The Stars in America but has suggested he may be bowing out.

He told the Daily Mail: “This may be my last season. It’s the end of my contract and they may not what to have me any more.

“They might have had enough of me. I don’t want to retire totally but I’m quite happy doing nothing – reading a book and pottering in the garden.”

If this is Len’s last season, I hope Shirley Ballas or Julianne Hough takes his place. Let us know what you think. More here.
