7/10
In my opinion: It used to be must see TV

Don't get me wrong. I still enjoy the show for the most part, but the quality of the show has gone down drastically since the last season. This year, I'm finding the judges comments to be somewhat questionable (especially Nigel's criticisms). The judges should be able to remain impartial to the audience/viewers and not make it so obvious and in your face who their favourites are. This year, the obvious pimping of Katee and Will is enough to make viewers disinterested in anything the judges have to say. I know for me, half of the time I tune them out, because their comments no longer mean much to me. They should remain unbiased and objective. They've failed miserably. Yes, they've pimped dancers in the past, but this year it's downright pathetic.

The quality of the dancing as well is not as high as it was last year, maybe they're just not finding dancers of the same calibre that they found in the past. While the judges picked the "best", there is an overabundance of contemporary dancers which makes the show less interesting to watch(at least when the dancers perform their solos). It doesn't help that the same dancers are "choosing out of a hat" the same genre of dances over and over again. I mean Comfort getting hip-hop multiple times when that's her specialty? How is that statistically possible when there are enough genres out there that there should be little to no repeats?! The types of dances are getting repetitive.

I used to love tuning in - but this season: not so much. Some of the dancing has been fabulous and noteworthy, but that is too few and far between. Overall - this year, I'm still tuning in, hoping that it will improve...But I'm just not feeling the excitement anymore.

It's kind of disappointing.
