That said, shows like America’s Got Talent and The Voice adapted to include a studio audience via video, and The Masked Singer found a way to include an audience as well, although some found the Fox series’ methods more unsettling than reassuring.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still a very real problem, so packing an audience full of spectators like in previous seasons would obviously be a very bad idea.
At this point, I’d even take unsettling over what Dancing with the Stars delivers, and certainly Zoom over nothing, especially now that Season 29 is heading toward the semi-finals and then finals.
