So, was this the worst season ever for Dancing With the Stars?

Bring back Meryl Davis and Kristi Yamaguchi.

I would love to see Meryl paired with Maks on DWTS again. I especially loved this dance.

I didn't think this was the worst season until they announced the winner. I was hoping Ally Brook would win.

Don't be political. Don't be political.

But yes.

I think they've jumped the shark many times. The 2018 athletes edition especially comes to mind.

I dont watch "reality" shows except DWTS when a skater is on, but I would convert if ALL the contestants were ice dancers.

I only watch when there is a skater on, either figure or speed. I did hear or read recently that this show has become a popularity show & no longer has anything to do with dancing skills.

I watched from the beginning, and it has been as much / more about popularity as dancing from the very beginning.

I stopped watching a few years ago. Maybe the shortened athletes season was the last I watched. I'm not even sure any more! I definitely didn't like the super-short format of that season. It would have been OK if they had cut down the number of contestants as well as the number of weeks; that's what the first few seasons were like, and they were OK. Obviously more than OK, as what was originally a cheap summer throw-away show has gone on, and on, and on, and on.
