I follow hockey, and her husband was never a star. He seemed to love media attention way out of proportion to his abilities on the ice. I can see him wanting to do the show to increase his social media profile, but I call BS on his claim he just wants to "learn how to lead his wife". My top choice for a football player to do the show would be Jimmy Garoppolo. He's gorgeous and has a great personality.

The show gets about half the total numbers it used to, but that's still higher than a lot of shows on the air. The bigger concern is the low demo number that advertisers are obsessed with. https://www.thewrap.com/dancing-with-stars-finale-this-is-us-ratings/ They need to find a way to get younger viewers to tun in. The things they've tried so far haven't worked.

His star seems to have fallen somewhat. A few seasons ago I picked him as the pro I would most like to have as a dance partner.

Carrie Ann just broke off her engagement, so I'm expecting even more flailing and slobbering over the male contestants.

I'll miss her as a judge. I wish Carrie Ann was leaving instead.

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/normani-kordei-responds-to-bonner-boltons-date-invitation-w482495 According to ET and Us Weekly, Normani said yes to going out on a date with Bonner. ETA ET has quotes from Normani and Val.

Isn't Tom the one who asked her about not smiling, off the dance floor? The judges were talking about her smiling/not smiling during her dances.

The judges on SCD are pretty harsh, and give lower scores than the DWTS judges. I don't remember 4s being given out on DWTS.

I love Maks, and I like Amber.....but the dance was uncomfortable to watch, and not because of Amber's body.

I like Maks, and I like Julianne, so I'm glad they are both back on the show. I'm tired of Derek, and I'm disappointed that he is back for this season.

That is a big drop. http://headlineplanet.com/home/2016/05/25/ratings-the-voice-finale-tops-dancing-with-the-stars-both-sink-from-last-year/ Also down from recent Fall Season.
