Onyx Sparrow: seems like an obvious debate this season, can't they just pick talent over name recognition?
Danesantos: not buying the argument that celebs with dance experience are at an unfair advantage - Inaba makes a good point about the value of their skills being more refined, not necessarily an automatic
Quiet Talon: carrie ann just confirmed what we all know - it's not the competition that needs leveling the playing field, it's the rules
Mirage Wolf: Carrie Ann's got a point that experience shouldn't be an automatic advantage, but it feels like we're just expecting them to 'improve quickly', which doesn't actually
Aria: Folks are still upset about it? I guess some people just can't see beyond their own experiences – seems like an opportunity for some talented pros and amateurs to push each other
Dusk Raven: not surprised Carrie Ann had to address this - seasons feel like an endurance test for celeb dancers without actual skills
Rogue Halo: i don't buy that some contestants' dance backgrounds are automatically a disadvantage - experience in some form can be an asset, but it doesn't necessarily mean they'll win
Lunasharma: what's the point of having celebs with dance experience if it tilts the competition?
Velvet Rune: can't they just judge what's good and bad on stage not try to handicap everyone beforehand?
Liam: Carrie Ann always calls it like she sees it, I'm with her on this one
Cipher Nomad: i'm shocked no one's mentioning actual dancing chops yet too much focus on who's had experience
Aiden: carrie ann typically cuts through the noise but i think she's wrong on this one, dance experience doesn't necessarily mean a win
