Brooke Burke had A LOT to say in terms of Tyra Banks because the (doubtlessly former?!) host of Dancing With the Stars!
As chances are you’ll know, the 48-year-old former supermodel turned the first-ever solo host in 2020 after longtime presenter Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews obtained the boot. Since taking on, Tyra has obtained her justifiable share of criticism – going through backlash for every little thing from her style decisions to her on-air mishaps and even her awkward conversations with the opponents. It has not been a terrific run for the America’s Subsequent Prime Mannequin alum!
So with the present now shifting to Disney+ from ABC after 30 seasons, one of many greatest questions amongst viewers is whether or not or not Tyra will probably be coming alongside for the experience — and it appears like there may be one one that is hoping to not see the Life-Dimension actress return!
Brooke, who took residence the Mirrorball trophy in 2008 earlier than later co-hosting the dance competitors collection from 2010 to 2013, opened up about her ideas on Tyra on Wednesday throughout an look on the Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast. And the 50-year-old didn’t maintain again about why she thinks the Coyote Ugly star is just not an excellent match for the gig, saying:
“It’s robust. It’s a reside present. And I do know these reside tapings are a battle, you recognize, behind the scenes. You already know, she’s a diva. Everyone is aware of that she’s a diva.
Whereas Brooke expressed there may be nothing unsuitable with being a “diva” at occasions, she believes the collection ought to by no means revolve across the host, explaining:
“It’s not the place to be a diva. You already know, your professionals are the diva, your winner, your good 10 rating dancer who has by no means accomplished it. That defines a diva within the ballroom. So, you recognize, I simply assume it wasn’t embraced.”
She continued:
“I believe that present requires numerous compassion and loving kindness, particularly because the host. So, I don’t really want to say it. You already know what I imply? I believe it was a tricky transition. Change is difficult for everybody, you recognize, they’ve gone via quite a bit on that present. That’s for positive. And you’re simply not the star because the host. Like, it’s simply not about you because the host. Proper? So yeah, I believe Tyra is nice in a shining function. I’ll simply say that.”
However that “shining function” is probably not with Dancing With the Stars! The truth is, a supply echoed comparable sentiments to The Solar on Tuesday, revealing Tyra will most definitely be NOT returning to host season 31 when it airs on the streaming service as a result of low scores and her backlash:
“There isn’t a official resolution on who will probably be internet hosting subsequent season however it doesn’t appear to be Tyra will probably be again. Which might be a community resolution, not her resolution.”
Whoa… That information will definitely make Brooke and a few viewers joyful.
As for why DWTS moved to Disney +, the insider particularly blames the record-low scores on how the latest seasons had been introduced and never due to the present itself:
“Manufacturing has been a large number, with no clear course of the place [the show] was going, which is why sure producers have been axed in latest months. The combination of the behind-the-scenes chaos and the traditionally low scores in the end was the nail within the coffin. ABC didn’t really feel it was well worth the funding anymore, however didn’t wish to drop it as a complete.”
Nevertheless, the supply admitted that Tyra is just not utterly chargeable for the present being nixed from ABC, however they in the end believed she was by no means the precise match for the job:
“I wouldn’t say it’s Tyra’s fault the present obtained dropped by the community. I imply, that actually didn’t assist, however she got here in and did the job she was employed to do. The issue is, she simply didn’t slot in. She didn’t slot in with producers and she or he didn’t match with the viewers and it confirmed.”
On the finish of the day, the insider famous that the collection simply isn’t the identical anymore:
“Dancing With The Stars has all the time operated like a household behind the scenes. And when new execs and producers got here in a pair seasons in the past, that household obtained damaged. It hasn’t been the identical present and everybody concerned with it feels that to a point. So it’s been an sad setting the previous few seasons.”
