Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Dancing With The Stars is No.2 and No. 5? That is by far the show with the least amount of brain cells used.
No, I am not bothered at all. It matches well known and lesser known stars, with the world's best professional ballroom dancers. The show tests a contestants mental and physical stamina. These are star contestants usually known just for thier acting, singing, or outrageous talk shows. Everybody loves to see another side of these stars. Plus, there is something refined and sophisticated about ballroom dancing that people find appealing, and that you won't find in other reality shows. Dancing is well produced, and those in charge have found just the right mix of stars and talent to cross every demographic needed to keep people watching. Now, are you suggesting there are a tremendous amount of brain cells needed to watch Deal or No Deal?
yes, i can't stand that show.... i guess people like to see washed up stars looking dumb. At least Reality Giant American Idol is decent.
Ya gotta admit, the 'scenery', if ya know what I mean, ain't so bad on "Deal..."
I actually enjoy watching it.
There you go. Seems the old line "To each his or her own" applies. That's what makes television.
