Dancing with the Stars announced today that they are adding a fourth judge to the desk and she’s been on the show before. In fact, the three people she will be sitting next to have judged her. It is two-time mirror ball winner Julianne Hough.
The ABC dancing competition has been ratings challenged for the last few years and this is yet another failed fix. I was hoping that when the show got a new Executive Producer, they would finally make some much needed changes. I thought they would change up the pros, so we could see some new choreography. They did not. Then I was hoping they would get rid of the biased judges, who say the same thing ever week. They did not. Instead, they add a fourth judge whose voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Do they need her? No. Four judges is too much, see American Idol. In addition, her brother is on the show and that isn’t fair to the other dancers. Good thing Maksim Chmerkovskiy isn’t there because this would totally piss him. Not because he wanted to be a judge (and he’d be better) because she will be biased towards Derek Hough.
If this doesn’t work, which I doubt will, they really need to change up the whole judging table.
What do you think of Julianne Hough joining Dancing with the Stars as a judge?
