ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson acknowledged that this past season of Dancing with the Stars lacked dramatic tension. While he first discounted the suggestion that Kristi Yamaguchi's superior athletic/dancing skills didn't dampen excitement and speculation over who might win ("we didn't get back in testing that people thought she had some sort of unfair advantage"), he went on to pretty much say that, in fact, yes she did. "No mystery does take away from the fun of watching the show and from early on you knew that unless she fell there was no way she wasn't going to win." He also admitted that Jason Taylor's second-place success was a surprise. "We honestly thought he'd be out in week two. I mean, he's this 7-foot-tall football player, who knew he could dance like that?" He did add that Kristi as the obvious winner wasn't last season's only problem. Another problem was that everybody was just too nice. "You need some edge along with more competition. We'll definitely be looking for some entertaining personalities as we cast this season."
