I love DWTS and have watched every episode. The disappointing popularity contest it has become is saddening. True talent and hard work are not rewarded. They gifted celebrity dancers are judged fairly by the panel but audience voting totally negates those reviews and scores. Unfortunately, the more popular a celebrity is and audience votes they get they remain in the competition. The more talented dancers are eliminated and it takes away from the premise. It is s dancing competition it should not be s popularity contest. It’s a shame the format only represents that now. They need to go back to it being judged by the professional judges and not let the audience dictate who stays and who goes based on popularity and not skills. Sad, sad, sad...😥
