Just chiming in that I love this idea, and it should absolutely become TV law.

I'll say this for Netflix's Star Search so far: it actually started, unlike the Love is Blind reunion, and they pulled off a live group number better than broadcast series used to in the mid-2000s.

DWTS needs to implement this same voting system for those watching on Disney+. Let us give a score out of 10 and have the audience vote count for 50% and judges average the other 50%. And then have an app that those watching on ABC can use instead to do the same thing!

Star Search's live voting on screen, with our remotes, is truly incredible, given all the expensive, wonky ways we've had to vote over the years.

The voting process is super simple and easy to use. I question kicking off with junior singers, cute as they are. Overall, first 15 minutes is well-done. [embedded post]
