Will it be another Olympian, perhaps?
A reality TV star?
Only time will tell.
Grandma even had a little notebook to keep scores!
Normani has a tough job to get through on week one shes up firstanddancing the quickstep.
Grumpy Len is here and hes not sorry about it.
She makes me cry as soon as she takes the dance floor.
Welcome to season 24, folks.
Well be talking about crying a lot.
Does Nancy not know what show she signed up for?
Shirtless Zamboni riding isDWTS101.
Out on the dance floor, though, Nancy is a graceful goddess.
), but all four judges agree it was a beautiful start to her season.
He broke his neck not too long ago, and it definitely puts some limits on his dancing.
It does not, however, slow him down in the energy department.
Chris is committed to dancing and really, what more can we ask?
He kicks off his ballroom journey with an homage to hisNight at the Roxburycharacter.
But the judges jump all over for him for… not being able to dance.
Hes not the worst first week performer Ive seen, but Lens grumpiness is rubbing off on everyone else.
Bonner Bolton and Sharna BurgessCha Cha, Move by Luke BryanMeet Bonner Bolton.
Hes a professional bull rider.
I dont hate any of it.
Neither does Sharna, apparently, who is blushing a whole lot when she first meets her partner.
These two are already getting the hot chemistry edit from producers, so, beware.
Out on the dance floor, they do look pretty nice together.
Juliannes right: Bonner looks a little hesitant in some of his moves, but theres real potential there.
Most of the critiques are basically just the judges drooling over themselves, which is understandable.
Or is he some kind of mastermind?
Charo is a force, that which neither Tom Bergeron nor her partner Keo can contain.
Once again, this is the perfect style for the dancer.
The judges give her great critiques.
In short, lots of energy, but work on content.
So Charo is expecting some knockout scores.
When she gets less than that, all hell breaks loose.
In the best way.
Justin BieberAh yes, the ABC synergy portion of our show.
Nick Viall, Americas latestBachelor, has arrived onDancing With the Starslooking to win.
Or, at least, looking to not embarrass himself.
Peta (missed you, Mom!)
tells her partner that hell be the best Bachelor on the show.
I hope I can aim higher than that, he says.
HAVE TRUER WORDS EVER BEEN SPOKEN?
For all the goofing off in rehearsals, hes not terrible.
Petas a great coach, so even the smallest bit of potential could mean improvement.
Carrie Ann thinks if he relaxes a little, all his movements will seem smoother.
The dude faced a firing squad of women in sequined-gowns.
No, she does not know why Bey spent a good portion of theLemonadevideo wandering in the fields.
The woman is a mystery!
So, is Heather being a dancer completely fair?
Both she and Maks know that this little fact will mean greater pressure to be perfect.
They mostly meet this pressure in their Viennese waltz.
The routine is elegant and refined and I would like Heathers dress, just.
Its a little bit of opposites attract.
The judges want to see more of Heathers personality, whereas Maks… does not have that problem.
I get it for baseball, but in life?
This is detrimental to my fragile self-esteem.
Already, this pairing is great.
Then he utters the words: Is Grandpa sexy?
while moving his hips and now Im all in.
The judges cant stop smiling and applaud him for his lightness of foot and his quality of movement.
The fabulousReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar has arrived and shes ready to win.
Shes also more than willing to give Gleb her Lamborghini if they take the mirror ball this season.
So, I think Gleb is ready to win, too.
Can every routine start this way?
However, Erikas a little bit raunchy, so shes fine with the critique.
Now hes blown away that hes onDancing With the Stars.
Like he really needs it hes so smooth out on the dance floor, covered in gold.
There was squealing coming from my living room (Im alone).
Emmas just excited she finally has a partner with actual muscles.
Its basically how Kym (welcome back, Kym!)
greets her new partner after he Mr. Kool-Aids through the wall.
Typically, great entrances lead to high expectations, but those expectations arent to be met.
It is most definitely the trueDWTSattitude.
But, also onDWTSsometimes winning means winning.
Unfortunately, what he has in heart, he lacks in technique.
Since the cast announcement, this pairing has really been the one to watch.
Shes a performer and a perfectionist and she should bottle and sell her giggles.
On the dance floor, Simone is completely confident in all of her movements.
As expected, the judges go ga-ga for her.
Shes been the early frontrunner for a reason, you guys.Judges Score: 32/40
