These are the latest celebrities and their professional dancers to grace ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, plus their scores from the end of last night. Let’s take a look at each performance, shall we?
Aiden Turner and Edyta Sliwinska: Cha Cha
Boy, does poor Edyta have her work cut out for her this season! Aiden was more stiff than a board. I can easily compare him to Billy Ray Cyrus. That’s really all I can say about this performance.
Buzz Aldrin and Ashly Costa: Cha Cha
This was a joke, right?
Chad Ochicinco and Cheryl Burke: Cha Cha
The first performance of the night, Chad came out with a great energy and was able to pull off a great routine. The biggest problem I saw with his performance was his lack of looseness. He was just a little too stiff.
Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya: Vienese Waltz
There were parts of this performance that were absolutely beautiful and graceful. Then, there were absolutely aweful moments were his skating posture would creep back into the dance and he’d mess up the footwork and throw himself off balance. Evan has some work to do, but he’s obviously a contender.
Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Cha Cha
Erin had a little more trouble than the first two performers, which was actually very obvious. She danced to a shit song, which wasn’t her fault. I guess the producers were getting down to the wire on popular cha cha sounding songs they could use. Maks creates very difficult and intricate choreography, even in the first performance, but Erin kept up with him (barely) and I think there is a potential here.
Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower: Vienese Waltz
Right off the bat, the rose was lame, and the song was cheesy (Kiss From A Rose). As much as I love Chelsie’s choreography, I really didn’t see too much effort on Jake’s part. He also needs to learn how to be graceful.
Kate Gosselin and Tony Dovolani: Vienese Waltz
Her kids were right: MOMMY CAN’T DANCE.
Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough: Vienese Waltz
This was an incredibly beautiful performance. I don’t really like Nicole, but she did very well, and I really wish her well. She is one to beat. Then again, her background in dance (PCD) is a bit of an unfair advantage.
Niecy Nash and Louis Van Amstel: Cha Cha
Louis gave her a freebie choreographed dance tonight. He made it so simple for her, and yet she still couldn’t get it. She was having a LOT of trouble with this dance, and this was easy, so imagine what she’ll be like in further weeks as the intricacy of the performances increases. I think the cause of this bad performance can be linked to the fact that she doesn’t want to lose her “Jiggly Parts.” It was, as Len says, uneventful.
Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood: Cha Cha
The “Break Out” performance of the night…ish. Pam didn’t do too badly if you were just watching the performance. However, if you got past all of the hair flipping and whatnot, she wasn’t too great. Damian did well for a newbie to the show, and I think he’ll do well in seasons to come. I just hope he gets better partners in the future.
Shannen Dougherty and Mark Ballas: Vienese Waltz
Shannen said she was in it for her father. It was pretty obvious during her dance that she was nervous as hell, but I have to say she did pretty well. I’m not really a fan of hers, but I am going to be fair and try not to be biased. I do see potential in Shannen.
My only inquiry: Why the HELL was Brook Burke there? What happened to Samantha Harris???
