I have generally found BBC1's Saturday night 'entertainment' show The Greatest Dancer completely unbearable, largely due to the complete lack of criticality and how handing over complete control to the audience (unlike Strictly, where the public only get to make the wrong choice in the final) has resulted in rewarding emotion, hollow spectacle and moves and tricks that look impressive regardless of any technical or creative merit.
Not to mention the rewarding of anyone with a physical disadvantage being able to move at all.
And then there's this:
