Reality talent shows are about the journey – and just three rounds and a heat does not a journey make. That’s like making a road trip documentary about a trip to the shops.
Even if it was still 7 weeks but with the cast split over Sunday/Monday (and ideally live) that would at least feel like more of a complete series, even if it’s still only around half the length the series traditionally was.
Since when do GF’s have 6 contestants?? Why rush the series?
Actually it is the third season with 6 now, otherwise I would have phrased differently.
Oh no it’s not your wording David, apologies if that’s how my comment came across, I’ve seen it advertised on tv and I find it funny that it’s a GF with 6 – the show has really lost its ‘sparkle’ since the whole season is now pre-recorded and has no live voting element anymore. Shame as I used to love DWTS!
All good!
Not a fan of the structure this season, and last night’s Ep i almost didn’t see. Not sure if 7 were making it up as they went along as well, as there were many references in Monday’s ep that referred to the previous night’s as ‘last week’. That aside, I am enjoying the judges. I didn’t know how or if it would work with Craig and Todd on the same desk, but I like them both. I wish every now and again, Todd would put Sonya in her place with a good comeback. Yikes, he gets a lot of quips from her! Easy viewing.
