{"post":{"id":241,"title":"DWTS season 35 premiered this week — is the cast actually worth 4 hours of TV?","body":"The two-night premiere was Sept 15-16 and everyone at work is talking about it. I haven't watched since like 2015. Is this season's cast actually good, or is it the usual mix of one ringer and 15 people who can't dance? I don't want to burn 4 hours on premiere episodes just to find out the Mirrorball is already decided. Who's genuinely worth watching?","community":"TV","score":0,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"none","answer_votes":0,"leading":{"id":122,"name":"Watch night two, skip night one","score":0},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"frugaljo","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-19T18:13:07.966Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/241","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":122,"name":"Watch night two, skip night one","body":"I caught both premiere nights and honestly night two had the better dances — night one is half intro packages. The thing to check is the week-one leaderboard on the DWTS site or ABC's YouTube channel — the scores tell you who's a ringer (Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr. both have real dance training, no surprise there) and who's the fun underdog story. If you're short on time: watch the top-3 scored dances on YouTube and skip the two hours of filler. That's what I do every season.","score":0,"rank_score":0,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-19T18:20:39.572Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
