    World of Self Promotion and Inflated Scores! This turkey still has the same problems with judge bias and fake scores. This year the scores are so high, they are now totally meaningless. The judges also are bragging about how great their show is, saying they only attract the very best world class dancers. Far from it, for the most part.

This year the scores are so high, they are now totally meaningless. The judges also are bragging about how great their show is, saying they only attract the very best world class dancers. Far from it, for the most part. Some of the dancing is good, some is just so-so, the good being this show’s only redeeming quality. The over the top lighting and staging detracts from the dancing and makes the whole experience eye candy.

    They are still pushing their sob stories and only value the types of dance that the judges prefer. Still so narrow, so biased, and completely so fake in their judging. Until the audience gets to take over the judging, this show will never be an honest and real competition.

    When I saw the acts for the second episode, I finally had enough and turned it off!

    Let me define the recency effect first so that everybody can understand my criticism of the show: Recency effect "This is the principle that the most recently presented items or experiences will most likely be remembered best. If you hear a long list of words, it is more likely that you will remember the words you heard last (at the end of the list) than words that occurred in the middle.Let me define the recency effect first so that everybody can understand my criticism of the show: Recency effect "This is the principle that the most recently presented items or experiences will most likely be remembered best. If you hear a long list of words, it is more likely that you will remember the words you heard last (at the end of the list) than words that occurred in the middle. This is the recency effect. You should also note that you will be likely to remember words at the beginning of the list more than words in the middle, and this is called the Primacy Effect." This is the obvious bias in the judges' ratings where the last person in the show inevitably gets the highest scores. This is a problem throughout the whole show, with maybe one or two exceptions. The dancers that dance last, wins. During the last show for the 2018 season the four contestants had to dance twice, and I thought that whoever is directing this show would try to counteract the recency effect by having the person who got the first place to dance first - if this had happened The Labs would for sure have been eliminated. However, by starting from the bottom up the results of the show were clear. I made a bet with a friend that by allowing me to know who was going to dance last I was going to determine the winner of the show. So, I won the $ 100 that we bet. The concept of the show was made by a woman that is mentioned sometime during the show. But that concept is FLAWED. I am not going to tell you how to correct the problem, but if you give me a call I will explain it to you if you cannot figure it out for yourself. The World of Dance is a great show and the judges are not to blame for the manner in which the voting and so on "the concept" is followed. The problem is that the concept is wrong and should be corrected if people like myself watching the TV is not going to continue knowing who is the winner of the competition by just looking at who are the last performers.
