Cinebar, if you're not watching because of any particular performer, you're missing a lot.
My brief observations so far:
There's a change in judging this season. 1/2 points have been added (or subtracted).
Brooke has really lost a lot of weight.
A little of Joey Fatone goes a long way.
Shawn and Derrick looked wonderful.
Sabrina and Louis were absolutely awesome.
Helio looked rather stiff -- he actually didnt look like a returning winner at all (yes, I know he won five long seasons ago, but I still expected more fluidity from him.)
It's too bad that Tristan was paired up with Pamela, one of only two stars this season who never made it to the finals -- he deserved to be paired up with a past winner.
I'd forgotten how good Melissa and Tony were. Her lines are almost perfect. But she wore a long chiffony skirt and I kept waiting for her to catch her heel in the hem. (Luckily, she didnt.)
Apolo is so much fun but I thought he looked really rusty.
I've never been a fan of Gilles but that could change this season. His dancing looked flawless. He's got the highest score so far.
Bristol has improved tremendously.
Drew looked stiff and even a bit nervous.
Kelly Monaco looked great. Her outfit was something I'd expect to see on one of the pros (aka skimpy).
Her dancing was almost perfect.
I didnt care for the routine Maks worked up for Kirstie and him. And she looked very nervous/stiff/old. I'm hoping to see their chemistry improve to what it was previously.
I cant wait to see Emmitt Smith dance.
I wish Kelly Osborne were on the show this season.
The dance numbers are very short tonight -- understandable since there are 13 stars. Edited to add that only some of the dance numbers were very short -- others seemed to be longer.
There are so many familiar faces in the crowd. A lot of previous performers are there tonight. I think I'm going to enjoy this season most of all.
Editing as each star performs.
