She was clearly trying very hard; I just wish I couldn’t tell that she was trying so hard, and she distracted from the dancing rather than showcasing it, in my book.
Tyra Banks faced a tough challenge by stepping in for both Bergeron and Andrews, and while she could roll with the punches, I didn’t feel like she figured out how to go with the flow of the show just yet.
To me, she felt like a guest host who knew how to handle herself with a microphone in front of a camera, but wasn’t quite a Dancing with the Stars expert with the level of banter and familiarity that Tom Bergeron brought to the stage on a weekly basis.
