Dancing With The Stars

I love watching Dancing With the Stars and was very excited this season. What am I saying I love it every season. But this post is more about my amazement the other day with their Facebook post and the response that it received. It definitely got me thinking and involved with the discussion.
           BRB gotta grab another cup of coffee.
           Okay, now where were we...
If you haven't been to the DWS Facebook page yet check it out Dancing With the Stars link to FB

They posted "What if YOU had the opportunity to cast the next season of Dancing With The Stars? Who would you choose? Now's your chance. Let us know who you'd pick!"

What a cool idea! There were 6775 comments as of this morning and their very smart social media person linked it up with the DWS website and created a page for viewers to choose the next season of DWS! There have been 432 comments left on the website. They have really created a stir and got the viewers talking.

Now does it matter if they choose someone that was the viewers' favorite? I'm figuring if they have an official poll and listing and then a viewers vote then they were serious about choosing viewers favorites, but there is so much more that goes into a star being on DWS.

I love the way that they try to have a well rounded celebrity group. Some older, younger, sports, talk, movies they get a good mix. The catch for the viewers' favorites is that

1. The star must be willing to be on the show
2. The star's schedule has to be open during that time 
3. The star must be able to come to a salary contract agreement with DWS 

I found a link that discusses how the pay from DWS is not that great for television. I personally would love to learn to dance and get paid to do it but I doubt that we'll ever see George Clooney or Brad Pitt up there dancing for us because they can make so much more for much less effort.

All that said, let's go back around. Wow Kudos go out to DWS great marketing idea and with as many people as there are talking your ratings shouldn't drop for next season.

Who do you want to see on DWS? and did you tell them?

My question where will they go with this? Only time will tell...

If you took the time to read and enjoy a cup of coffee with me please leave me a comment and let me know. Have a great weekend!
