With just two weeks left until the finale of Dancing With The Stars season 30, host Tyra Banks has angered viewers on numerous occasions throughout the season. This is Tyra's second season as the host of DWTS. She joined the cast during season 29 after longtime host Tom Bergeron and his co-host Erin Andrews were shockingly fired prior to the start of the season.
Since Tyra joined the show as a solo host, longtime viewers have not been impressed by her hosting skills. So much so that a petition called for her removal from DWTS not long after her debut. Many fans felt that Tyra made the show all about herself, as she constantly tries to relate to basically anything the contestants have to say in their post-performance interviews. In addition, Tyra has always tended to turn the ballroom into her own runway each and every week. To make matters worse, Tyra has made a major mistake during a live elimination when she announced the wrong couple as being safe.
After nearly two full seasons, DWTS fans are still not happy that Tyra Banks has taken over as the host. Once again, Tyra is being accused of making the show all about herself. With the addition of weekly theme nights, Tyra's over-the-top outfits have gotten even more extreme. She's also had outfit changes during nearly every live show. Her absurd outfits have been hated so much that even the Jurassic World franchise bashed her for dressing like a dinosaur. If turning the ballroom into her own runway was not enough, Tyra also has a tendency of turning conversations to be about herself. Just a few weeks ago, during Janet Jackson Night, Tyra bragged about her friendship with Janet, which fans found to be annoying as well.
Aside from Tyra's dresses and talking about herself a lot, viewers also think that she simply isn't a good host for Dancing With The Stars. Mistakes are bound to happen since every episode is a live show, but Tyra seems to often point out every mistake that happens to the viewers at home. Even though most DWTS viewers are aware that Tyra wears an earpiece while hosting in order to communicate with production, fans don't like when she shares everything they are saying in her ear. This breaks a certain barrier of live TV where these conversations are kept as behind-the-scene details. Because the show has to stay on a strict time schedule due to their two-hour timeslot, Tyra tends to rush the judges when they are critiquing the dancing duos as well as when they are casting their final votes for eliminations. Just last week, during the second double elimination of Dancing With The Stars season 30, a lot of fans were left furious by the way Tyra handled the eliminations. In fact, she seemingly pushed an upset Olivia Jade Gianulli and Val Chmerkovskiy out of the way following their elimination in order to proceed with the second elimination.
While fans have valid reasons for being angry with Tyra Banks on DWTS, they only have to watch her hosting skills for two more live episodes before season 30 comes to an end. Unfortunately, a lot can happen in those two episodes that can anger fans even more. Despite many viewers asking for Tyra to be removed as the host, it is unlikely that it will happen in the near future.
Dancing With The Stars airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
