No interest.

Many years ago I used to watch a station that had ballroom dancing contests. They did the tango, samba, waltz, etc. It was very interesting to watch. The best part was that there was very little talking. The judges picked out the winners from each group and gave a short recap as to why they were picked and went on the the next level. That made it interesting.

Dancing with the Stars is a mind numbing experience. They cannot shut up. That alone made me decide that this was not worth watching. All these supposed talent shows do is talk, talk, talk!

You do well with this comparison. Style class dignity grace civility vis a vis vulgarity, rudeness, ego-centric and lack of true class...but the main problem most candidate simply can't dance . Here we have a dance contest and the voting is based on who has the largest fan base...

I suppose the same could be said about some of the "stars" from last season.

I don't think it is meant to be taken seriously. .... Like any reality show it is about sensationalism, and emotions, the unexpected talent, the falls and mishaps, who lost the most weight! Anything to grab a viewing audience .... Very little art involved.

I noticed KathieI is a dancer. Wonder how many of those posting and those reading are TV dancers? Or, are most of those postings are members I see sitting around watching and listening to music and dancers dancing at LSL and Spanish Spring Centers?

Yes, I will be watching. Although I'm not particularly pleased with some of the changes that were made last season it's still a pleasant way to spend an evening. What we need to do is get away from all the murders, so called police shows, "reality" shows where the contestants go through fearful situations on deserted islands yet never mess up their hair or their beard doesn't grow for several months. A little escapism can be fun and DWTSs celebrities do work hard at improving themselves in the name of entertainment.

I love dancing and participate in three dance groups in TV. I also dance at the squares when the music moves me! Not just a spectator!
