Despite the canned cheering, clapping, and occasionally booing for some strange reason, it was hard to ignore that this live episode was being filmed without an audience. Group numbers were out of the question, and the judges were far more separate than usual. If it felt strange to me as a viewer, how jarring must it have been in person? Even though Tyra Banks isn’t a Dancing with the Stars veteran, she knows her way around a stage, and I have to imagine that hosting a show full of glitz and glamor without an audience would have been difficult.
