There are several dancing TV shows that I have watched during the last 10 years. I have enjoyed watching So You Think you Can Dance and the World of Dance. However, my favorite is Dancing with Stars, currently on its 30th Season. Its on ABC.
There are controversies surrounding this Season 30. It included COVID-19 infections, the first-ever same-sex pairing, and judges and producers being accused of bias and prejudice.
On week two, competitor Cody Rigsby revealed he tested positive for COVID-19. Accommodations were made for Rigsby and partner Cheryl Burke. Contrary to how previous contestants were treated when facing physical and health problems, the pair were not asked to withdraw and, for the first time in the history of the show, were allowed to stay in the competition while dancing from their homes. To facilitate dancing from two different locations, instead of the originally assigned cha-cha-cha, they were given a Jazz number.
Contestant JoJo Siwa made history on the show as the first contestant to compete with a partner of the same sex, which caused controversy when it was noted that there had been several gay males competing throughout the show's run who were paired with the opposite sex.
Kenya Moore's performances on the show were well-received by the critics and garnered positive reviews and praise from the fans. However, she did not receive any points above 7. The scoring and number of the announced votes sparked backlash with the viewers accusing the panel of showing favoritism toward the less talented acts and underscoring Moore who excelled at dancing. The treatment was perceived as a double standard and bias.
