This is a year of fierce competition, with users on TikTok already guessing who will win and ranking contestants. There is a shocking mix of opinions coming from online of who the season 33 winner will be. “Dancing With the Stars” grew popular amongst Generation Z and was trending on TikTok.
From what I have seen so far, I think that this season is going to have high engagement and there are going to be strong fan bases made for certain partners. I know my TikTok For You Page is full of theories about how this season will go. It is quite interesting to listen and see everyone’s different predictions.
After watching the second episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” I have mixed reviews on this season so far. For the first elimination of the season, two couples were sent home. It just shows how much the viewer vote really does matter in a competition like this.
Warning: Spoiler ahead. The first two pairs to be eliminated from the competition were Tori Spelling with pro dancer Pasha Pashkov and Anna Sorokin with pro dancer Ezra Sosa. Like much of the internet, I agree that Anna Sorokin needed to go. Her attitude, whether a persona or not, was not enjoyable to watch.
One of my favorite things about watching “Dancing With the Stars” is getting to see the celebrities improve throughout the season. Obviously, this is seen through the scores from the judges. It can also be seen in the confidence in their dancing as the season goes on.
Being on Season 33 of a show and having no plans of stopping anytime soon is very impressive. “Dancing With the Stars” brings in audiences from all different demographics. The wide variety of celebrities brought on the show also helps to widen the fan base. This is an enjoyable show to watch for anyone no matter the age.
I give “Dancing With the Stars” five out of five Loper stars so far.
