It's been challenging since Bobby Bones but I must say, I like the judges getting involved. It's a dance contest, not a popularity contest, so it must reflect good dancing being rewarded. A word of advice (or caution): I would leave politics out of it, and NOT opt for bringing on board political figures because in this climate of today, the show is on "thin ice" for doing so if millions bail because they are so upset over a very partisan government figure. Putting these people on the show just fuels the fire of contempt, and I just can't see anything good about it. Perhaps you'll draw more viewers but only from one side of the spectrum. The other side might choose to "sit it out" and you'll lose ratings, big time. Decades ago, OK, no problem when our country was all "one" regardless of the President Elect. But this current disaster of a commander in chief has made everyone divided, bitter and has cast a shadow over anything good that could develop between people today. Just don't do it! That's all I'm saying.
