Having watched half the season, only because of some stars that I like, I have to reduce the stars from two to one. While it is clear that Tom and Erin will never be back, the producers have completely blown up the show with Tyra. She still is not understandable when she speaks and I know it is not my TV because I clearly understand the judges and dancers. Her costume choices and changes are a nightmare. And the lighting craziness on stage makes it really hard to see the dancers. My favorite five-star show is now a one-star. Derek is fine as a judge, the dancers, both pros and "stars" are great, but whoever thought Tyra Banks could replace Tom and Erin? She doesn't even come close. She either talks too fast or mumbles and seems very insincere. Also the new staging does not work well--too many flashing lights and it is difficult to really see the dancing. Previously would be five stars, but no longer.
