Dancing with the Stars is currently on Season 31 and with the famed Tyra Banks hosting. But not everyone is excited to have her as the host as a petition to get rid of her has been circulating with over 14,000 people signing it complaining about everything from her messing up who the final two couples are and having outfits that overshadowed the dancers themselves. And to the latter, we have to point out that she’s Tyra Banks. If she didn’t come and shut the studio down with her outfits, what world would this be and do we even want to be in it?

Ratings for the show have also dropped and have been pulling in 6.19 million viewers in season 29, below the 6.73 in Season 28, hovering now at under 5 million viewers. The ratings have been so bad that the show moved to Disney last week. Valerie Bruce, the General Manager of BBC Studio’s Los Angeles production said “This unprecedented move, combined with our two-season pick-up, is a testament to the proven power of ‘Dancing with the Stars….And [it’s] a resounding vote of confidence from our great, supportive partners at Disney, showing how much they value and believe in the brand.”

Tyra is being looked at as the cause for the ratings slip with reports of production looking to replace her with Kylie Jenner, Tracee Ellis Ross, Anthony Anderson, or b. Perhaps the show just ran its course. it’s been on since 2005 and 17 years is a good run. What once was a network staple is a mere shadow of itself but we’ll see how this next season goes if they manage to get things together. They’ve dropped production to just one season a year instead of two so they have more time to focus on running a quality show now.
