I'm confused, because you have Season 8 listed twice.

Yes, once after 4 episodes, where each couple had one dance, and then once after 5, where they started dancing twice, that's where the Paso and Tango are finally added. I only did that because they don't match up exactly so I ran both numbers. The first set really emphasizes how ridiculous this season was, with 15/35 dances being contemporary or jazz. When you compare it to the variety of Season 3, it makes me sad.
Ah! Sorry, I'm tired today and all I saw was NUMBERS. But I'm glad you did that, and I agree. They need to shake it up, and get back to what they were doing earlier.
Unless ... their research showed contemporary and jazz brought in the most ratings.
In rewatching S6, I absolutely loved Jakob, but man, I still can't believe Ellenore didn't win. She was just phenomenal.
Does Dancing with the Stars do mostly ballroom? Are they trying to differentiate from that?
I think they maybe saw that the breakout stuff in seasons past was contemporary and maybe thought why not just add more? But I think it was breakout because there were more other styles to compare it to. Now I feel myself saying, "Oh, another angsty contemporary number, how novel."
ETA: God I loved Ellenore. Although Kathryn & Legacy were my favorite couple from that season.
SYTYCD: I think the issue with the all-stars is availability. I think we only got Mark this season because Gaga wanted to be on. What I'm hoping is that the dancers we don't get to see as all-stars are busy working somewhere.
PR: Ugh! this season is weird to me. I haven't been interested or excited by anything yet. I think Nina is the worst kind of person to design for.

I so agree, megan!
I still can't decide about the All-Stars. I love seeing people like Allison again, but, ultimately, I think it probably should just be the competitors.

I wasn't necessarily a fan of all the All-Stars they've brought back, but I definitely liked how they did it this season, with the All-Stars not coming until later on, more than last season.
DWtS is ONLY Ballroom, so that may be the case.
