"Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron has admitted that he has mixed feelings about the elimination of the results show next season. ABC announced this week that Dancing with the Stars will begin incorporating eliminations into the Monday telecast to shake up the show&amp;#039;s format.   The network&amp;#039;s president Paul Lee has called the elimination of the results show &amp;quot;a shot in the arm&amp;quot; for Dancing with the Stars that can &amp;quot;drive viewership&amp;quot; to Mondays. Speaking to E! Online, host Bergeron suggested that Dancing with the Stars might struggle in the short term with the major format change. &amp;quot;I am hopeful. I get why they did it,&amp;quot; Bergeron explained. &amp;quot;Dancing with the Stars, like many other shows, has suffered ratings erosion.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;Only 40% of the viewers who watch on Tuesday watch the Monday show. I think it could really help the show&amp;#039;s longevity in the long term. &amp;quot;In the short term, it hurts, because you lose some staff members very likely and things of that nature, but I certainly get it.&amp;quot;  Judge Bruno Toniolo offered a more positive view by suggesting that Dancing with the Stars can survive a tweak to its schedule. &amp;quot;Your duty is to deliver the best possible show regardless, and I&amp;#039;m sure we&amp;#039;re going to come back and do a great show,&amp;quot; Tonioli said. &amp;quot;We just found out ourselves, so obviously, there&amp;#039;s a lot to put in one show, but we will do it... bigger and better than ever! Trust me!&amp;quot; The current season of Dancing with the Stars continues on Monday at 8/7c on ABC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
