Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas – She is just a sweetheart and a fabulous dancer. Lots of personality and confidence and chemistry with Mark.
Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani – I don’t know a lot about Wendy other than she’s a talk show host and has a personality larger than life, but I was surprised at how emotional she is. Not a judgment call, but I got the impression she has a very tough exterior. But she’s a softie. She was nervous, and who wouldn’t be, right?
Hines Ward and Kym Johnson – He was a favourite of tonight. His personality and winning smile won the hearts of a lot of people not to mention his Steeler Nation fans!
Petra Nemcova and Dimitry – She is grace and class personified. There’s nothing shallow about this supermodel as she was understandably shaken up by the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan having experienced the Indonesian tsunami herself. She knows what matters in life and her beauty is both inside and out.
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower – He’s got a great personality! And the chemistry between him and Chelsie is hot! I hope he sticks around for a long while. He’s fabulous.
Sugar Ray Leonard & Anna Trebunskaya – Damn he still looks fine! He’s such a perfectionist you have to admire that in him. At first he was a little stiffer than I thought he would be given how he could beat the crap out of someone in the ring so effortlessly and almost dance in the ring. However as the dance went on he really loosened up. He’s someone I would like to see stick around. Bruno wanting to call him Sugar was hysterical!
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel – I love her!! She’s got a great personality. Very uninhibited. She was nervous but I think she did great and if that’s the first dance I think she has great potential!
Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff – The Karate Kid did good! Omg I can’t believe he’s 49! He has such a baby face. I was really pleasantly surprised by how amazing he was! It was so old Hollywood I found myself mesmerized by them. It was totally great showmanship as Bruno said. He is a very strong contender.
Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke – Before they even hit the dance floor the audience was going NUTS. He gets better looking each time I see that piece of man meat. Perfect choice of song. He was a little bit stiff but damn his sexiness makes up for everything. Dude could drool all over the hardwood and I wouldn’t much care because he is a fine piece of meat. Nom nom nom.
Mike Catherwood & Lacey Schwimmer – He hosts ‘Love Line’ with Dr. Drew. Never heard of him but I like his personality and energy. And I love Lacey! He’s really quite stiff but he tries so hard and I can only imagine how nerve-wracking it is to be on that stage knowing there are millions watching you on TV as well. He’s hysterical. I hope he stays just for that.
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – I have been waiting for her all night! I love her. She’s 60 freaking years old!!!!! Holy sh*t!!! Omg I LOVE her. She was FABULOUS!!!!! And you could see how much Maks enjoys dancing with her!!! I can’t remember seeing him smile so much. Her foot placement for the cha-cha-cha was the best of the night according to Bruno. She had a great time doing it. Omg she has got to stay on so we can watch her every week.
Did you watch? Who was your favourite? Who do you think will go the distance?
