    I understand BH AI are big fans and personal friends of Chris Harrison but you act like what he did was OK and that he shouldn’t have had consequences. It’s sad that you said you think ABC regrets having him leave. Jesse is awesome. Network TV is just altogether going down. Yes they had some casting issues, but it was already trending down when Chris was still there. Do better. Why not have Rachel L on your podcast?

  • DWTS coverage

    Listening to the DWTS coverage is fun but Deanna for someone who has said multiple times every episode that you’ve never watched and have no dance education or experience, hearing you immediately shut Trista (who has been on the show, who’s daughter dances, clearly she’s immersed in this stuff) down on certain opinions on performances and scores is so annoying and rude. You act like your opinion is truth (ex: about Taylor’s performance) and it’s just painful to listen to.

  • Politics!? 9/18 episode

    Curious, does Deanna Pappas not think ABC is political? Maybe some don’t want to watch a show that’s on ABC because they have shows Iike The View. Fox isn’t the only network that’s political. It’s obvious, Fox just isn’t on the side of politics Deanna aligns herself with. Leave politics off this podcast. There are other podcasts if people want to hear about politics.
