What actually annoys me most about this show, and takes away from my enjoyment of it, is that as is typical of FOX shows, half the routines are spent panning to the audience and the judges making exaggerated faces and gestures. It's passable for Masked Singer because you can still hear them singing when the camera isn't on them. But you can't see the dancers dancing. And since at least half of each routine the camera isn't on them, it kind of defeats the purpose of the show. I'll honestly be surprised if this is renewed for a second season.

Absolutely positively 100% Maks. Of this I am sure!

There was also a quick shot around when he was burning the license plate in acid of what looked to be someone in a helmet standing next to him and I thought the same thing, when did she become his accomplice? Definitely a figment.

I think they find the zebra entertaining. I think Cotton Candy is someone from gymnastics.

All the sports balls (partnership with Erin) reflected in a mirror (mirror ball), the 18 on the movie clapboard (the season he won with Meryl), down on his knee proposing (Peta) and baby Sloth (Shai). It's definitely him. I just haven't figured out the boombox over his head clue yet! I hope he gets to let loose and really dance before this is all over!

I think it's Maks from DWTS. Accident when he was young, Glee toothpaste (Heather Morris), D.R. on the name tags (Denise Richards), red Solo cup (Hope Solo), Mickey Mouse reference, the voice and accent when he said Broadway.

Why didn't Grace just whack Ronald over the head with the crowbar when he came downstairs?

Watch his Law & Order SVU episode.

I was thinking one of his constituents who voted against him.

At first I was put off by them bringing the pandemic in so fully.....after all, there was no pandemic in the finale last season when we first saw a lot of those scenes.....but I quickly came to appreciate it and it made me remember how much we've all been through in these past six horrible months and how we got to where we are. So glad the show is back!

So glad to see some of my DWTS friends here! I just finished Season 6 last night. I binged the whole season in less than 24 hours after discovering over the weekend that it was available via In Demand. So sad that it's over. I did the same thing after each episode.....came here to read what others had said. Holding out hope for a movie or spinoff of some kind. I already miss the show!

Kristyn Burtt posted the pairings on her blog the day the cast was announced.

I don't watch it, but what about Simon Cowell? Didn't he leave and come back? I think it's going to be more a matter of getting rid of Andrew Llinares. He's really stunk up the joint starting with the athletes season. Everything he's done has sucked. Hopefully ABC will rid themselves of him after this debacle. Then I could see them kissing ass to get Tom back.

No, pretty sure they were already engaged when she got pregnant. I always figured that was her condition for letting Maks knock her up --- that he had to give her a ring first.

Peta did the same thing. When Maks dumped her, her friend Mark took her in and let her live with him in LA. She and Sharna also became very close with some guy named Beau. As soon as she and Maks started speaking again, she moved out and dumped Mark. And shortly after she got pregnant, both she and Sharna dumped Beau. A lot of people were shocked she picked Nicole as her maid of honor over Sharna but I didn't think it was any big surprise. After all, Nicole is fam, Sharna is not.

I thought the exact same thing. Derek could've at least given a shout-out to Tom and Erin. He worked with Tom for how many years? And he knew Erin not only as a co-host but as a contestant. If you never watched it, the Outside the Box thing he did with her, Maks and Nicole back in Season 10 it's gold. Dancing with the Stars - Outside the Box Interview Everyone seemed to back away from Peta and Maks after they got back together. Sharna's hung on more than anyone but not like before, and even less so after Peta picked Nicole Volynets as her maid of honor rather than Sharna. Although she apparently has done some workout with Peta for that dance app the fam is shilling. I noticed a few months back that the entire Volynets family has stopped following Maks on social media, though they all still follow Val and Peta. Maks purged his social media awhile back of all his former partners except Erin, Meryl and Heather.

Maks's head must be ready to explode over the Derek news.

With each new article that comes out I hate this woman more. Yes Tyra, I'm sure you tried for hours to respond to Tom's tweets but just couldn't get them to post. Funny, no one else had any trouble responding. Tyra Banks Says It Will Be a ‘Challenge’ Stepping Into Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews’ Shoes

I already hate this woman after reading this article. I don't blame Len for staying away. This is going to be a shit show with her in charge., no matter what color she is. 'DWTS': Tyra Banks Says Len Goodman Won't Physically Be in the Ballroom This Season (Exclusive)

I don't agree. People are more upset about Tom leaving than Tyra taking over.

Now GMA is teasing the return of Derek. Tune in Tuesday to find out what he'll be doing!

If Tom and Erin were smart, they'd start up a weekly podcast and just mock the hell out of the show.

We already know what she's going to do with the show.....make it all about her. This season's key art was released this morning.

They have the same D-level celebs most people have never heard of. The same pros. The same judges. Whatever changes they make to the format of the show will be driven by COVID-19. I fail to see any "new creative direction" that isn't driven by the social distancing limitations, or how changing the host affects a "new creative direction" for the show. Bottom line for me is that Andrew Llinares brought in Tyra as EP thinking her name would bring in viewers and bigger celebs, and she insisted on being the solo host. All you have to do is read social media or news story comments to see how much they've pissed off the viewers (well, other than the Val/Jenna/Emma/Sasha/Alan fans) and look at the cast list to see how bad they screwed this up. My hope is that this season will be such a flaming pile of crap that they fire both Llinares and Tyra next season and bring back Tom and Erin to close the show down. But based on Tom's recent comments, I don't know that he'd even be willing to come back. Certainly not while Llinares is still there. And Erin has so many other things going on that the only way I see her coming back is for Tom. Do I think ratings will improve because of everyone being home? No, not really. Most people are home on weeknights whether or not there's a pandemic going on. There are also too many other options out there for people to watch thanks to streaming. I've got a list a mile long of things to watch once I'm done with Schitt's Creek.

From the day they hired Andrew Llinares I said he was going to be the death of this show. Apparently I wasn't the only one who saw issues with him and what he was doing to the show. Tom Bergeron Reveals His Time On ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Went Downhill After 2017
