Journal Entry Type #61: Expect Nothing but Do Much!

Thoughts on DWTS so far: Season 29
We are now in a new fall season with many changes due to COVID. Tom Bergeron is gone. I miss him. I still miss Brooke Burke. I don’t miss Erin Andrews. If someone replaced Tyra Banks, I wouldn’t object. There is no audience and the outfits of Tyra Banks often overwhelms the screen. She definitely…
