Monday episode drew 7.1 million, down from 10.2 million at this point last year. The ratings fall comes amid the dilution of the Dancing brand with Dancing with the Stars: Juniors airing Sunday nights. Also of concern is Dancing ejecting standouts like Tinashe while terrible dancers like Grocer Store Joe from The Bachelorette are still on the show.

I think people are just tired of it after all this time.

It’s run its course. The appeal isn’t there anymore. They also seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel with who they end up getting to compete these days.

Viewer fatigue...how many dance routines can you watch each week before it becomes boring and stale?

The show should just be cancelled after the current season to be honest.

Dancing with the Stars junior version was a big mistake -- esp having the two DWTS shows on during the same season.

As for baffling ejections, that has happened before. Viewers need to vote for their favorites to go along with the judges' scores.

This coming Monday is the Halloween show -- always a fan favorite -- maybe the ratings will be up.

I still enjoy the show and hope it continues.
