Theo: READ. I was just admitting that I was commenting despite not watching the show. What I was making was a parallel to another series of programs that seem to promote something we don’t see on TV often - IR couples.

calm the fuck down. Lyonside wasn’t asking people not to watch it. she was saying that SHE doesn’t watch the show.

I seriously don’t think dancers, any real dancer worth her or his salt cares what color the partner just so they can DANCE!

Don’t listen to lyonside.
Watch the show.
It’s refreshing to see interacial couples dance.
I loved it.
You’ll love it too.

whats really interesting is that they really play up the sex / love angle with both the musa (now eliminated) / natalie couple, and the donyelle / benji couple.

Dont’ watch it, but yes, it seems like it may be a quiet/subtle producer mandate…

Similar to my own observations about HGTV - I’ve never seen so many multiracial couples/families and gay couples/families (and sometimes both) on the same network.
