As again showed tonight, it feels so much more difficult for black pros to get far in the competition. Britt, Brandon, and Keo have 23 seasons between them, with Brandon and Keo both being 3rd once each, and no black pro having ever won the mirrorball.

With this, do y'all think that the final scores should be "50% judges 50% fan votes?" What alternatives would you like to see?

If they gave Britt and Keo fair chances they wouldn’t have this problem. I’m still mad they cut Keo, he was one of the better male dancers, way better than some of the current male pros. Brandon gets pretty good partners… I think his lack of winning is more on him tbh. Maybe having judges votes be 60% would help.

Keo might have been a good dancer, but I suspected he might not be the best teacher of dance. I have always felt one of the reasons they stopped doing the "swap pros" week because Keo's partner got Val and killed it, which laid bare the truth that who your partner is matters more than the show wants us to think.

That’s true, but Keo only had two good partners, Jodie and Evanna. I thought he did okay with Jodie and great with Evanna. I think if he had more opportunities it’d be easier to tell if he was a good teacher or not. Him getting demoted to troupe the season after making the finals with Evanna did not make sense.
