I dont know how she will dance but Priscilla (ugh paired with Louis) looks so pulled up she will be hard to watch.

Kristi will have the most natural talent but will she have the personality.

Adam Corolla might do ok until he opens his mouth.

Penn? Really?

Really gonna miss Maxim!

I hope you're wrong Patman.
Maybe Carolla wouldn't suck as much as everyone thinks he will.

I never watch this crap, but given that Marlee Matlin is dancing, I might have to DVR tomorrow night's episode.

I think I'll watch the results show or tape it so I can fast forward through the filler.
3 hours is too much. Who the hell do they think they are ... American Idol ?

Is anyone going to mute the sound when Marlee Matlin is on the dance floor doing her dance? Seems like the fair thing to do.

I doubt Cheryl will be in this show all that much either, zuffy. I mean, I'm sure Julianne will leave first but I don't think Cheryl will be far behind. Too bad since she's my favorite dancer on this show.

Penn - Kym might as well be dancing with a horse, couldn't believe the clod-hoppers Penn was sporting. Defintely not light on his feet, that Penn. But if they can incorporate some magic in each dance, maybe he'll get some pity votes for a few weeks.

Jason - Edyta got a bit lucky this season, has a lot of talent to work with, but he needs to work on the performance aspect since he's got good fundamentals already. Is it me, or does Jason looks like Xerxes from "300"?

Cristian - Cheryl didn't strike lightning thrice, as her partner isn't all that light on his feet, and is still thinking about dancing instead of just dancing (which showed in his bad upper posture, but hopefully Cheryl can straighten him out).

Adam - Julianne won't threepeat either this season, but I was actually surprised that Adam wasn't Kenny Mayne horrendous, but far too stiff to give a good performance. I wish he'd stick around just to give the judges some lip after each set of critiques.

Mario - Karina's plenty to work with this season with Mario, and he'll be in the hunt for quite a while, especially amongst the men. If this was Survivor, all the guys would want to vote Mario off the island.

Steve - Anna won't win with Steve, but he does add some class and heart to the show. The actors tend to always have a better time of selling the performance when they're dancing, even if their technique isn't as solid.

Aside from Penn, who hopefully will leave first, I was impressed with the guys so far. Adam was pretty good. I've forgotten how hot the professional female dancers are.

Great Great opening number. Honestly these are the most perfect bodies on these women dancers! Its a really likeable group of guys and I really enjoyed the show. Of course Penn, and Corolla arent very good. Guttenberg was better than I thought he would be, but his heart is really into it.

Cant wait to see what the girls are gonna bring.

Did they always vote out one guy and one girl the first time? I thought it was only one couple each time?

The band is really excellent. They dont sound as cheesy or karaoke as American Idols band.

My gripe with the opening number was that the guys' pants were too baggy.

Gee. I wonder who will win?

Then again, the last time Karina had a semi-pro partner, they were working on a handicap scoring system. I'm sure the same will happen this season. No matter - as long as Karina gets to dance the whole season, I won't be complaining.

Poor Kym. Penn is about as awful as I expected.

I'd say poor Julianne, but it was her turn to draw an awful dance partner.
