DWTS fans pray producers change key aspect of show now that Tyra Banks has been replaced as host

DANCING With The Stars fans have prayed that the producers of the show make a major change to the promotion of the season.

Tyra Banks is out as host and fans want even more modifications.

Season 32 of DWTS is right around the corner and promo for the season is already beginning.

Only two cast members- VanderPump Rules' Ariana Madix and The Bachelorette's Charity Lawson - have been announced while no pro dancers have.

The judges are remaining the same - minus Len Goodman, who died earlier this year.

However, there is one big change to the host's position.

Tyra was on every poster and promotional video that the show put out, making fans feel like she was taking the spotlight from the contestants.

CHANGE IS NEEDED

DWTS fans shared the promo poster with Julianne and Alfonso on Reddit.

Many of the fans understood that the hosts are on the poster because the pros haven't been announced yet.

However, they mentioned that when they do get announced, they want the poster to change like in seasons pre-Tyra.

"I assume the poster features the hosts front and center [because] they haven’t announced which pros are returning," one fan said.

One fan agreed: "Yea and if the main promo poster remains Julianne and Alfonso I think a lot of people will be equally annoyed. However, my main problem with Tyra was that she didn’t care about the dances & the ballroom that much. I don’t think we have that problem with our current host duo so we’ll see!"

"They should have done like a set of posters this week of Alfonso and Julianne and then Bruno, Carrie Ann, and Derek. The obvious people for the first promo. And then the next promo, posters of the pros, quickly followed by posters with their partners. That way basically everyone gets their moments in the limelight," one fan suggested.

"Well they haven’t announced the pros yet, I assume those posters are coming still," said another.

"I think last season they released a promo poster earlier than this that had some of the pros on it before they were officially announced. I am hoping we get some with the pros as those were always my favorite," one fan begged.

One observant fan said: "Thinking it over, I am a little bit disappointed, considering S31's promotional material had six pros front and center alongside Alfonso and Tyra. However, I think this could be just a temporary teaser poster, and once the celebrity cast is revealed, they'll be added.

"I also think Julianne being a former pro (and actually being dressed in something a pro would wear) makes her prominence in this a little more excusable in comparison to Tyra. Come to think of it, we don't even know who the pros are yet. There are a few pros who are likelier than others, but so far we don't have anything concrete."

One fan suggested they go back to the old posters.

"I preferred the years where they did more of a body shot without the head of a dancer or a beauty shot of the mirror ball. It can be as simple as the mirror ball itself," they said.

"I really would prefer to see a poster with the pros like season 31 had... at least we got SOMETHING for season 32, because it's been pretty quiet," said another Reddit user.

"I am hoping there will be another promo poster released with the pros on it," said a fan.

TYRA WHO?

Although Season 32's premiere date has not been announced yet, the promo video did say that it is coming this fall.

The first trailer for the new season dropped on August 21, and it featured Alfonso, 51, and Julianne, 35.

"It’s a new spin on Dancing with the Stars! Coming this fall, step into the new #DWTS season with co-hosts @juleshough and @therealalfonsoribeiro," the caption read on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Julianne, who was previously a professional dancer and former guest judge on the reality series, will now be replacing Tyra, 49, this fall.

While Tyra hosted/co-hosted the last three seasons of the show, she will not be returning for Season 32.

Although last year's show aired exclusively on Disney +, this year's will also air on the show's original home network, ABC.

The new season will also feature returning judges Derek Hough, 38, Carrie Ann Inaba, 55, and Bruno Tonioli, 67.

JUMPING FOR JOY

In the comments section of the post, viewers of the hits series have been giving their opinions on Tyra's replacement.

"Thank goodness you guys didn't keep Tyra. Couldn't stand to watch her on there," one person wrote.

A second wrote: "This is the best decision the show has made in recent years!!!"

"I LOVE!! that these hosts are now one pro & one star - both who have won the mirrorball!!" a third exclaimed.
