I just love people's suggestions! I hope someone is reading this, because you guys have some great ideas! I know Samantha can be irritating, but please ease up on the poor woman. Sometimes people say such mean things about her. Imagine if she has to read what you say. Because she's uncomfortable, she does tend to ask embarrassing questions, but that might work well in some contexts--like journalism. And with her spectacular figure, she looks unbelievably good in those lovely frocks they keep finding for her. Now that DWTS has actually ended their association with her (and I think it's definitely for the best), I wish her well.

I have Judged a few contests and it is a lot easier to judge if every one dances the same dance but with different music,this also makes it easier for the public voting

1-Do not use a roc n roll tune for a Cha-Cha,Tango or Paso
2-no more Double eliminations there not fare.
3-no more than 14 contestents 7'Fe' and 7 'Ma'

I just want to say to the person or persons that said "Get rid of Bruno", if that happens, that will take away the flavor of the show. The reason why I say that is because there are some people out there that like him and think he's funny. Honestly, I think he's funny.

Fewer contestants, standard list of dances (ballroom and latin) and MOST OF ALL let the pro's put on a real number as they did in the beginning. SCD does it and it's like a Bob Fossy or Broadway appearance. No more milli-second glimpses then back to the singer, let's see some real dance productions by those fabulous pro's!!!!

1) Get rid of Samantha Harris. Unlike you, I'm not resigned to the idea that she's here to stay. Everyone I know hates her.

2) Don't use dances the judges are unfamiliar with. That just leads to even more blatant cases of favouritism.

3) Speaking of favouritism, if Len can't get over his biases, maybe he should move on. A significant part of the reason Mya and Dmitry lost last season was Len's consistent down-voting of them due to his dislike of Dmitry. Not to mention that there hasn't been a step invented in the last 35 years Len has any respect for.

4) More appropriate music-dance pairings. I watch with friends and have lost track of how many times we've looked at each other saying "They're dancing -what- to -that-?".

get CHARO as one of the celebrity dancers
she'd probably win it all to Cuchi-Cuchi

The dancers have a following, so keep that in mind when pairing up the couples. I know that I've become more interested in following a star's progress on the show when I am a fan of the dancer.

Get rid of Bruno. That's it. I can handle the C-list celebrities, unnecessarily long results shows, Samantha Harris' time filling interviews, etc. Just drop the attention-whoring Bruno.

I have to disagree about Chelsie. Ty was very much involved with the choreography & given how stiff & awkward he was Chelsie did a wonderful job choreographing for him. He didn't make it to 4th place because she danced around him. As for Louie, one of their dances was the two-step. Now I don't know about anyone else but any two step I've seen it's almost always focused on the woman. Not much she could have done with that.

As for the celebs, I like having the lesser knowns. Just because they aren't on network tv, or been in movies that everyone has seen does not mean they aren't a star. Louie Vito is a good example. He's a star in the field of snow boarding & Olympic hopeful. Sometimes the lesser knowns come out & surprise people.

Just because you have never heard of them doesn't mean they aren't a star.
