PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"How can they make this show even better in the next edition?" |
Now that "DWTS" is the newest hit of the summer and another edition is a sure thing, there should be bigger bucks to spend on the show. So what are some suggestions you have for next season. Some posters have suggested new hosts. Since so many of us have compared this to ice skating where former skaters are the ones who do the waiting for the scores interviews, perhaps an interviewer who could actually comment on the dancing would be an improvement.
What I would love to see is some real theme nights. Wouldn't it be great to have an "art deco" theme where everyone looked like they stepped out of a Fred and Ginger movie and the set was all black and white and silver, and the music was Gershwin?
Or how about a 50s night where the set looked like a high school prom?
It goes without saying that there now should be some bigger stars! What are your thoughts?

I actually like the host. Maybe Lisa will figure her role out, I'm not ready to throw her over just yet--she improved a lot from week 1 to week 2.I would like to see better music selections. Also? I think everybody should do the same dance--everyone tango or everyone jive--not an either/or. I would also like to see cameramen who know when to show the dancers feet (which is most of the time.)

Well, brvnkrz,
If you just walk around, you'll make an excellent partner for Evander. We'll just shoot you from the waist up, too.

How about a list of reality show DAW's who we'd like to see on Dancing With the Stars?

John O'Hurley as host because he understands that the whole thing is a spoof.Regular ballroom dancing music. Some of the big band stuff is great. Supply the judges with better canned lines. Funny criticism not serious criticism. It isn't a real ballroom competition, or a real contest for that matter. They are going to start having trouble getting even d-list "stars" if they keep it up. More on the pros. The music used for "last-dance" in both cases was in poor taste. I'm watching this for fun, end it on an up-note. For example, give the ladies flowers and the celeb a cheque for a charity. Doesn't have be a lot, even just 1,000$. The "competition" should feel relaxed, like a game of softball at a company picnic. You try to win, but hey, it's just a game and the prize is a set of ugly dishes or something equally worthless.

Puffy,
I've been thinking about your suggestion in light of the finale last night and I do think that having all the stars from one genre- whether it's all reality people, soap opera stars, the cast from one show, etc. might help eliminate or at least, lessen some of the popularity aspects of the show. If the reality person on this season had been someone like Stephenie from Survivor, who was so admired, she might have lasted a lot longer than Trista did, who I think lost both because of her dancing ability and the audience's ambivalence towards her. Someone like Steph might have counterbalanced the popularity of Kelly.
It's most obvious, though, that what needs the most improvement on the next edition is the scoring. The producers want the best of both worlds- the audience vote and judges' input but so far, they haven't figured out how to do this so that performance is the ultimate factor.
