Dancing with the stars season 10 episode 1(1001):Watch online now :watch Online
The new cast of the tenth season of Dancing With The Stars is showcased. Eleven new stars and their Pro Dancer partners perform either the Viennese Waltz or the Cha Cha.
Dancing with stars
Eleven celebrities are on hand as Season 10 opens, running the gamut from those who recently made headlines (gold-medal-winning Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek and newly engaged BachelorJake Pavelka) to those who bring to mind 1990s nostalgia (Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson and Beverly Hills, 90210 bad girl Shannen Doherty) to former reality star Kate Gosselin. Tonight they dance either the Viennese waltz or the cha-cha, and then return for a second dance next week before the first elimination occurs.
It's time to hit the floor again! Season 10 of Dancing with the Stars kicks off with 11 new couples as they tackle either the cha-cha or Viennese waltz. Who made a great first impression? Who fell flat? Find out below!
A new season means new opening titles, a new stage and a new co-host, of course. At first glance, Brooke Burke looks like Samantha Harris, no? The Season 7 champ looks perfectly at home, if a little nervous. Meanwhile, the stage has been revamped to house a "celeb-quarium" at the foot of the stage, where all the couples hang out to watch the competition. No more red room, people! So with that, let's get down to it.
Chad Ochocinco & Cheryl Burke: Cha-cha
Chad is excited to do the show because he won't be fined for his creativity like he is by the National Football League commissioner. So for those keeping count: Dancing: 1. NFL: 0. As Cheryl told me, he doesn't want her to compliment him unless he's actually doing a good job. "You suck. Do it again," she tells him. She tells us he likes to goof around, but is completely serious about this. You don't say? His face is emotionless as this cha-cha gets going. The beat is fast, and Chad is having trouble keeping up. He's a little stiff and seems to ebb and flow out of character. But he, like gridiron giants of Dancing's past, is light on his feet. There's lots of potential here. Len says he came out like a tiger and is a rough diamond at the moment. Bruno can see that he has a huge, huge, huge talent. Carrie Ann starts laughing at the second "huge." She thinks there's a "raw something" that will take him far, but wants him to extend his arms more. (Side note: What's with these horrible new graphics? They look like something I made when I was first experimenting with Microsoft Word's Word Art in fourth grade.)
Score: 18
Shannen Doherty & Mark Ballas: Viennese waltz
Brenda! Shannen is doing Dancing for her pops, who suffered a massive stroke and asked her to do the show for him. She says she can never say no to her dad. Who knew Shannen was such a daddy's girl? She's totally nervous about performing live and thinks she's going to break out in hives. Shannen starts off awkwardly, then slowly gets into the rhythm. She's very fluid, but needs major help on her footwork ASAP. She's too hesitant in certain parts and doesn't seem to know what to do with her arms. Daddy Doherty loves it. Bruno appreciates that Shannen tackled such difficult choreography, but thought she was flipping her arms around like a primate. Carrie Ann is impressed with her ambition as well, but says she has a lot of work to do. Len thinks she portrayed ease and elegance throughout. Shannen's crying backstage because her dad is there. 'Atta way to get votes, girl. (By the way, Brooke, you need to finish your sentence before you move the microphone away from your mouth.)
Score: 18
Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Cha-cha
Erin the perfectionist is determined to nail their cha-cha, so she frequently stops mid-routine in practice to complain, annoying Maks. "It's my only pleasure in life — to bitch at people, and you're taking it away from me," he says. These two are going to bring the laughs all season. They start off fast and furious, and are showing off Erin's greatest assets: her legs. Apparently they're the longest in Dancing history. The dance is sexy and fun, and I can almost forgive them for dancing to Ke$ha. Erin's attacking her steps. She needs more hip action, but her leg movement is enough to compensate for that. Carrie Ann says she has "good moving," but wants her to hit her lines more. Len calls her a "funky monkey" and wants her to strengthen her forward leg. Bruno likes the way she places her feet right on the beat and wants her to throw her legs in the air more often. And with that, Maks pinches Tom's butt. Shades of Mel and Maks!
