I find them boring and I just want them to END! They were good a few years ago with pop idol, but it's just getting too repetitive. And strictly come dancing needs to die.

The thing that amazes me, especially on Dancing With The Stars, is that the audience seems to be there for the sole purpose of cheering glowing commentaries by the judges. If a judge dares to say anything even slightly negative about any of the contestants or their performance, the judge is booed to the point where I can't see how they can stand it. But then what would be the point of the entire thing, if every contestant and every performance were to be so bloody wonderful?

My wife loves that show, I cannot stand it. I mean really, how much manufactured drama and dancing must one watch until it is just boring and predictable. She used to watch American Idol. That show is like watching a car wreck, accept I have no problem turn my head away.

Hey, we are both 37 ... until tomorrow. *Cringe* :cry:

It's like that on X factor, even somewhat neutral constructive comments get boos.
