Fun blog, Matthew, really. But I for one (am I the only one??) really enjoy the show. I am a dance enthusiast, and love to watch talented dancers. Sure, there are some "interesting" moments watching some totally non-dancers struggle. And the term-STARS-is a VERY loose term! But because of this show, there is a much higher interest in ballrom dancing - which is an accessible option for many of us non-dancers. Watching non-dancers practice and practice and give it their all-and really progress and learn how to ballroom dance reasonable well, is really inspiring.
