Yay!! Maks is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know, pathetic aren't I? I don't care..........

I knew you would be thrilled about MAX!! So am I!

I was shocked to see Lacy Schwimmer was on the show now!

This is going to be GOOD! Erica Kane!! (Susan Lucci) Little Miss Rockstar Brooke Burke (can't stand her, but it should be fun) Lance Bass - another Boy Bander Kim K - don't like her but damn she is gorgeous! I love Toni Braxton and Cloris Leachman.

I am really excited about this season!! I think it is going to be a really fun season! Can't wait!

Cloris Leachman - 82 yrs old. Wow! Go Cloris!!

I'm not really a Susan Lucci fan.................

It should be an interesting season. I'm just hoping Misty can dance!

I cannot stand Susan Lucci!! But it should be exciting to see how she does. I used to just hate Erica Kane - what an annoying character. I used to watch All My Children from the time I was a young teen through to me 30s. I stopped watching it JUST because of Erica. But I used to think Susan was really nice - I've always read she was really nice. Then I started to notice that in interviews and on awards shows she acted EXACTLY like Erica Kane. I think Erica ate Susan

But, I think she will be glamorous and elegant and should be interesting to watch her on the dance competition.

Oh, good..........I thought you liked her...........

No, I think I was just so excited that 1) I actually knew most of the contestants and 2) they weren't going to be boring. 3) some really elegant ladies and some nice surprises.

YAY Cloris is right! 82!! You go girl!

Misty and Maks..............

I hope Misty is a good dancer so that the pretty boy gets to stay around a LONG time!

Ohhhhh, they look good together!!

Beautiful picture! So glad he is back!

Did anyone watch? I'm sorry if anyone likes Susan Lucci, but.........she needs to eat...........I really don't care to watch her dance. You can see her ribs on her back. Surprise, I liked Maks and Misty! I also thought Toni Braxton did really well. Jeffrey Ross should be the one that goes tonight. There weren't any real WOW dances for me tonight. I know some of you will probably like Lance Bass...I'll hold my opinion until I see them dance again. I didn't think it was very true to Ballroom dance tonight. Not saying they weren't good, just not very traditional. They are a couple to watch for though.

Oh crap!!! It started last night?? I missed it. I thought it started tonight! Oh well, maybe I can watch it on-line. I will check the TV Listing to see what time it comes on here tonight and I will be sure to watch it!

I know what you mean about Susan! WAAAAAAAAAY too skinny!

I have to tape Fringe tonight because it's on opposite DWTS.

Oh yes, I will have to tape Fringe too. I swear they purposely put everything I want to watch up against each other!! :x That's how I missed DWTS last night. I automatically put on my usual show. There are some nights and times where there is nothing I want to watch at all, and then nights where 3 things are on at the same time that I want to see!! SO frustrating!

Another one here who will have to tape Fringe tonight.

I was surprised about Warren Sapp....I thought he might be somewhat clumsy since he is so big, but his moves are quite fluid and light! Does Brooke Burke really have 4 children, with the youngest one only 6 months old???? Amazing! Cloris seems to be a little nuts, or maybe a lot.... Nice to see Maks again and with another very athletic partner. The judges are starting the scores very low this year, compared to the last couple of years. I didn't watch the first few seasons. Have they ever rated anyone else with a 4?

I thought Brooke had 3, but she could have 4. Yes, her baby is only 6 months old. She has always had an amazing body (bee-otch)

Cloris if funny!

I saw a recap of the show and I was stunned by the scores! So low!

What did you guys think of Kim K? I know she is a bit of a bimbo, but damn she is pretty!

I don't remember a low score of 4 before. I think it's good they are starting low. Last year they started high and had little room for marking up!

Kim K is beautiful! I'm not sure about her dancing ability yet.

Yes, Brooke has 4 children. I'm envious of her shape after 4 children.

Man, what a crappy bunch of dancers Right now I have no faves - except for the pros! Just let Mark, Max and Derrick dance. Send the rest home!

Lord, Kim K. is shockingly bad!! Susan L. was horrid last night from what I saw from the clips. Cloris is at least funny, if a little OTT - but the dancing was even worse than I expected.

Boring, Boring cast this season. I hope it improves.

Fun to see Lacey again though.

I have to agree............ I'd have to add the pro dancer Alex to one of the great dancers!

Brooke is improving! Misty did a lot better tonight. I'm waiting to be wowed though!

Well, still trying to get really into this show. Not too exciting. Cloris makes me laugh at least. A few hot guys to drool over! I really hope the dancing picks up. I am sure it will though.

So, do the Jesse McCartney and Jonas Brothers crowd really watch this show At least they gave me a chance to leave the room and get a few things done!

I felt bad for those who went this week (and their partners) Must be so tough to be gone the first week. Fair picks to go though. Of course I would have preferred a certain little soap dish be the one to go

The little soap dish may be around for some time if the soap fans are tuning in. I think the best part of the result shows is watching the professionals dance. They are amazing!

I just don't think it's fair that Cloris is still there. Yes, she is funny, but she cannot dance. I thought Ted was so much better! Well, at least Maks and Misty made it through.

Well, sadly I do think this a popularity contest just as much as a dance contest. Therefore people who are not that well known or great dancers fall aside.

True Soap Dish has a lot of fans. That is something that will keep her in there.

Hey Sky, I actually think Cloris danced better than Kim K. did last night! I was shocked to see that Kim K. has no rhythm! She's a young party girl - I just assumed she could shake that booty!

I know there are people voting for Cloris just because they love that an old broad is doing this.
