The two-hour special saw participants dance their hearts out to well-rounded routines with their respective professional choreographers. After two decades of airing on ABC, the show moved to Disney+ for the first time this season.

However, the former earned flak from netizens for making quite a few mistakes throughout the episode. From pronouncing a contestant's name wrong to blaming the production for a mismatch on the scoreboard, Banks' errors did not sit well with fans. Many took to social media to express their disappointment. One tweeted that they wanted the host to "stop talking."

Fans react to Tyra Banks hosting duties on DWTS

Following the season premiere of DWTS, loyal fans took to Twitter to express their likes and dislikes about the episode. While viewers said that they loved most performances, host Tyra Banks didn't manage to impress them. Throughout the course of the premiere episode, the supermodel made mistakes. While reading the leaderboard for the first eight couples who had performed in the competition, Tyra read the teleprompter incorrectly, which led to her swapping the names of the Top 2 contestant-choreographer pair. However, what annoyed fans even more was that she went on to blame the backstage crew instead of addressing her mistake. Zachary Bruner@HellurZachI’m tired of Tyra blaming her team backstage, when she messes up reading a teleprompter. Just say sorry my fault and move on. No reason to throw people under the bus. #DWTS261I’m tired of Tyra blaming her team backstage, when she messes up reading a teleprompter. Just say sorry my fault and move on.

After the latter was announced as a co-host, he released a statement expressing his gratitude for being paired opposite Tyra. "Dancing with the Stars has been such an important part of my life for so many years, and I am ecstatic to officially re-join this tight-knit family as co-host. Tyra and I have a longstanding friendship that I hope will resonate with all of the fans at home as we kick off this new season on Disney+."
