DWTS fans blast Next Pro show as ‘Temu Version’ of | TV Shows

Dancing with the Stars has formally aired its new companion sequence, Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro, but some viewers have been left unimpressed by the new show following its premiere.

ABC formally aired the first episode of the new show, which goals to discover a new professional dancer for the unique dance competitors sequence forward of its landmark thirty fifth season on Monday, July 13.

Following the premiere of the episode–which noticed Robert Irwin internet hosting and Derek Hough mentoring and judging alongside Shirley and Mark Ballas–many fans admitted they have been left underwhelmed by the show.

Taking to Reddit following the first episode, many aired grievances that the pre-taped model of the show wasn’t as thrilling as the unique and failed to seize their consideration.

“It felt like I watched some kind of Temu version of a show. Also very cringey,” one particular person wrote. “I thought it was pretty boring; I’m thinking I’ll just check in with the sub for weekly updates,” another said.

Another took issue with the show being pre-taped, that means fans weren’t selecting the winner.

“Honestly my issue with the show is that it just feels kind of meaningless when producers can just choose whoever they want to win, and all the decisions can be based on that,” they said. “Plus the fact we’re all pretty convinced Hailey is getting promoted, so what’s the point of a competition when producers can just do what they want regardless.”

“I might also just be jaded after all the ‘life changing’ competition shows that end up doing nothing for the winner’s career,” they added.

Others expressed considerations over whether or not the remaining contestants can be challenged as academics, given that they have been all performing together and have been all skilled dancers.

“I hope that one of the challenges is to teach a random person off the streets a dance. If they are just dancing with each other, this is meaningless,” they wrote.

The considerations about the show come after Hough mentored the contestants on the significance of approach as the blokes danced Jive routines and the ladies carried out Sambas.

In the end, Briar Nolet and Jake Monreal, who beforehand competed on Dancing With the Stars: Juniors, have been eradicated.

The remaining opponents competing for the one-year contract on the show are: Adele Zaikman, AJ Pritchard, Allen Genkin, Benjamin Castro, Erik Linder, Natalie Jolley, Nina Mayster, Selena Hamilton, Stephani Sosa, and Tristen Sanders.

The next episode will see them face a storytelling problem where they are going to be mentored by Brandon Armstrong and another pair of dancers might be eradicated.

The following week will see them work on group performances with Britt Stewart.
