This show is so solid now, it has come a long way since last year. Last year they had live audiences which I knew would go away due to the pandemic. The opening episode was difficult to sit through, no DJ and no crowd, minimal lighting and tech, costumes and music and performance were disjointed. They have always had trouble placing cameras to capture the whole performance experience. The last few have been amazingly better, both in terms of performances and the way the show happens around them. Each week they are amping the theatricality and props and the elaborate spoken word stories. All of that is fun but IMO not why I am there watching ballroom. It’s supposed to be about the people and what they are selling themselves and selling as a family. I assume that this probably reflects the current state of high end ballroom today and it’s become a really different thing. I have been watching this show in connection with Pose and that has been really wonderful, I love watching those old way ballroom vogue battles. Dashaun and the judges are really starting to let their hair down and interact and use language the way we all know that they do. They made all the right moves with this show and now it is just as good as Drag Race. Keep it up b*ches!! This is my guilty pleasure, break down and cave in, eat a full bag of potato chips at one sitting show. You have to balance out David Attenborough.
