Behind the Screen: Dancing with the Stars

The Amazing Race pioneered the global competition format, sending teams across continents in a sprint that tests relationships, navigation, and nerves under extreme pressure.

The Emmy-winning series has maintained its quality across decades by constantly finding new routes, challenges, and casting that keeps the race feeling fresh and unpredictable.

If they do that, then I hope no one gets stuck with their original partner, in order for it to be somewhat "fair."

He's probably busy because he hosts a few shows, one of them being Extra.

They sure are dredging the bottom of the barrel these days. Really, Andy ****? As for the rest of the cast, I'm not familiar with the vast majority of them.
Nostalgic#547
No worries with me this season, Jacoby Jones/Victor Ortiz/Kellie Pickler got this won.
ILoveRW#548
It's a problem when the professional dancers are more qualified to be labeled the "star" in the majority of the pairings.
Nostalgic#549
^Cosigned I just hope Mark and whats his face aren't back. Can not stand any of the two.
fabulous788#550
Yup, I'm pretty sure I'm done with DWTS for good. Just like American Idol, it's really time to put the final nail in the coffin.
Nostalgic#551
Killing myself Laughing, the competition this season on AI is stack. No ******* Drews/Carly Roses/Tate rigging the competition. Just legit competition.

Dang I recognize most of the cast, that’s something I haven’t been able to say in a while.

Right? I know almost everyone this season, which has been a rarity for so many seasons. Not sure I'll tune in but I might.

HonestTea101#555

I’m waiting on All stars 2. The first one was my all time favorite season. Bringing back champions, finalists, and letting fans pick 2 cast members was ICONIC!

So there are 14 pros but only 12 celebrities. There is no troupe this season so those 2 new dancers they said who would be on the cast would make it 14 pros. I know Rob Gronkowsi and his gf were heavily rumored to be on this season just the other day so i wonder if they are revealing 2 more cast members soon. It wouldn’t be the first time a cast member was added to the season after the reveal. What you guys think?

LucciVee#558

5 AA’s in one season? & they all recognizable... maybe they really snapped!

Unfortunately I see most of them being early boots. (Ray/Lamar/Mary)   Kel could have a real shot though.  He has the power of 90's nostalgia on his side just like Alfonso did.  He's my pre-show favorite and I'm rooting for him big time!

Tonight is the season premiere.  Christie Brinkley was injured in rehearsals and had to drop out at the last minute.  Her daughter, Sports Illustrated model Sailor Brinkley-Cook, is taking her mom's spot on the cast.  

JUMPY#562

now Ray Lewis dropped out too!!!   two injuries that resulted in DQ's already this season eeeeeek!

not sure being a quitter counts as a DQ. Ray lewis quit becuase he wasn't liked by America and about to go home

DScott#564

Plus the dr told him to not do the show anymore

JUMPY#565

Ray dropping out saved Lamar big time tonight.  Lamar would have been toast if they didn't make it a non-elimination week.

Sadly I called this big time.  3 of the 5 AA's have been booted already, and the two that remain (Kel/Karamo) were both in the bottom 2 already.... 

LucciVee#567

I knew they were gonna be early boots. None of the Caucasian people cast were outright horrible dancers going in and producers knew that. The only one with a fighting chance was Karamo. 

RLK2014#568

So now DWTS is rasist because the black people are leaving early. Y'all are such jokes.

I'm so sorry that you think just because race is brought up that you automatically think racism. No ones accusing the producers of anything but it doesn't take a professor to know that all the AA's this season specifically weren't ever gonna win or go far. Just because that is stated doesn't mean anything but of course your pea brain think everyone is accusing racism. It's okay to live in a world with people who don't see the same viewpoints as yourself.

DScott#570

The biggest problem with DWTS currently is the fan base not voting for women. Last couple seasons been a mess. 

JUMPY#571

Kel & Witney brought the FIRE tonight!!!   My favorite dance of this season so far!
