- I quit watching the show a few seasons ago and have not missed it a bit. I would really like to see one of the networks create a Dancing contest show with celebrities and pros and fair, consistent judging. I'd love to see great dancing like DWTS has, but the judging has to change, as well as the meanness and arrogance of crappy judges.Did I mention that the judges have to be changed out? I meant to. Sorry. I'm not coming back unless the show becomes a dancing contest instead of a zoo with those 3 in the monkey cage they call judges.
