    I love dance and would definitely enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars if they only would keep off of that fake suspense all the time, that is something I definitely dislike, whether in Dancing with the Stars or the Chef shows. It's not necessary and turns those rare excellent shows into silly and common ones. Other than that, when there's nothing else on TV on Saturday eve, I watch that Dance with the Stars on French channel (TF1).
