Dancing with the Stars Was a Bold Idea, But I Wasn't a Fan for a Few Reasons

Dancing with the Stars‘ There were so many great moments in the 500th episode, and unfortunately there was one element I could have done without. Before the big night, I realized that watching the scheduled Instant Dance Competition and even the other contestants was stressing me out. Chandler Kinney And Brandon Armstrong we agreed Many unknowns were emerging. I was hoping for the best and for it to be entertaining enough to be a staple of the series, and I’m disappointed to say I was disappointed.

I can applaud Dancing with the Stars I can see why the producers thought a live fight would add excitement to the night, as he took a bold step and tried something different for his long-term memory. But I think it failed for a few reasons and should not be part of the competition going forward.

What was the Instant Dance Competition?

First things first! For those who wanted to brush up on their knowledge, there was an episode of Instant Dance Competition. Dancing with the Stars In the competition, the contestants learn which dance they will do and which song they will play minutes before they go on stage to perform live; After the song was broadcast, the contestants ran to the dressing room to change into their costumes. They can then use the commercial break and preview package before the dance to refine their moves and make last-minute adjustments before the challenge officially begins.

The Dancing Was Incredibly Sloppy

I was afraid the dance quality would be problematic, and as predicted, most of the moves we saw during this challenge were sloppy. This is to be expected even considering pioneers DWTS Season 33 They’re only two months into their ballroom dancing career, so I don’t blame them for that.

None of these contestants automatically knew the moves to these iconic dances, so they had to learn the minimum of each move they might need to do while practicing the week before. This meant that every dance was very simple at best or resorted to demonstrations. At least Stephen Nedoroscik didn’t do that He blew his pommel horse againSo I should be grateful for that.

I’m watching Dancing with the Stars to see quality dancing, especially in the final stages of the season. The excitement of keeping the contestants on their toes was wiped out for me by watching people like this. Ilona Maher, who crushed him weeks ago, He falters in his improvisational dance and makes big mistakes. This is not fun for me. I want to see all these amateur dancers compete to the best of their ability with adequate preparation.

Judges Seemed Concerned About Giving Low Scores

Not only was the dancing sloppy, but it was like Dancing with the Stars‘ The judges felt they could not give anyone a low score, even after witnessing obvious mistakes or missteps. Perhaps the most damning part of the night was that Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong achieved a perfect score with their performances, although I must admit that they later said that they did not write enough choreography scripts. How does an unfinished dance get a perfect score? The lowest score awarded this round was 22 out of 30, and I don’t think I’m being dramatic when I say most of these dances should have been scored much lower than that.

The most positive conclusion I can give is that the night is still over. Dancing with the Stars The audience was waiting for this. After a few viewers thought We should have broken up during the Halloween episode, Dwight Howard And Daniella KaragacHe got lucky in the 500th episode. Had it been anyone else, it would have been harder for me to tackle this challenge, but I think I can stop short of stating that this is a reasonable attempt to try something new. Still, I’d be happy if it wasn’t tried again.
