If Nigel gave up the reins, it may well have even been salavageable. As it stands, this will likely be its last season; and I will be glad to be rid of the self-congratulating bloat of the results show.

What exactly are they going to put there in the summer (please say a revamp of temptation island)

I very rarely watch them...FF to what I want to see. Which is after I see on here or Twitter or Rickey that something worthwhile happened.

I seem to recall them announcing who left at the beginning of each week then continuing with the dancing. Maybe I'm thinking of another show but I'm pretty sure it was SYTYCD.

Cut it down to 30 minutes and voila! Sounds like they will have to eliminate both dancing partners in the initial weeks because if person A and B are partners while person C and D are partners, if you eliminate persons A and C persons B and D would have just found out the results and cannot practice together within the same show I'm guessing they are going to prerecord the eliminations the day after the live show and show those results in the beginning of the next live show so that the newly joint partners have 5-6 days to practice together.

Keep in mind there is a difference between the judges saving you because you are a good soloist (Cedric), and the judges actually wanting you gone, but changing their minds because of a 30 second solo. The latter list is really, really short. Did Noelle save herself against Bianca with her solo? Also, Nigel implied that Lauren saved herself against Anya with her top 12 solo, but I don't buy it because that solo was blah, and I just don't believe Nigel ever planned to boot Lauren (Anya's solo was such an improvement over her previous ones, too). Miranda should be on that list, but the judges really fucked up with her. What I will miss about the results shows is the solos (regardless of if they have an effect on the eliminations or not), since usually they are the only solos we see before top 10. If they incorporate solos into the regular shows, then I won't see a problem with axing the dfyl portion of the show. It would also be nice to see every contestant's solo skills early on in the competition, since it sucks when a frontrunner skates by to the top 10, and only then do we find who their solos are mediocre (and usually by then it's too late for their popularity to really be affected by it). As the judges keep saying to ballroom dancers: this is, in the end, a solo competition, so we should see how good people are at solos early on.

Part of that is the heavy-handed production; but I think a lot of it is just that the show has worn out its welcome. We have all seen some great Tangos, nice Waltzes, one or two great Hip-Hop routines, some moving Contemporary... so it just does not feel fresh anymore and too little stands out, after all these years. I used to think it was about the dancers they had, but I really think now that is is probably more about saturation point.

I know they sent Ben home because of his solo (one of the early seasons). He admitted he didn't prepare at all and just came out and did a lot of turns so Nigel said they were sending him home because of it.
