Last night was the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars 7. Since I missed the first half hour or so, I didn't catch a few of the performances by celebrities such as Toni Braxton and Cody Linley. However, I was able to make a few observations from night 1:
- Brooke Burke has an amazing body for a woman who's had 4 kids. Although there is video evidence that suggests she had one, I didn't notice whether or not she had a dance partner.
- Jeffrey Ross' ass is going home first and deservedly so. Although his dancing was lackluster, I will miss his sense of humor.
- Lance Bass is a damn good study. I had heard that there was reluctance to let him join N'SYNC because of his less-than dancing ability (last night he even mentioned that he was the worst dancer in the group). However, he and his partner turned in one of the best performances of the night.
- 82 year old Cloris Leachman is playing the role of "bawdy old broad" to the hilt. I hope that she sticks around in the competition for awhile.
- After watching Ted McGinley in his tuxedo, I learned that a window store dummy can do the Foxtrot.
- Ex-NFL defensive tackle Warren Sapp has some pretty decent moves for a guy in the "3 bill" range. When he met his partner (Kym Johnson) for the first time, he chuckled as if to say, "dancing with you is gonna way more fun than banging and bruising with 300 lb offensive linemen."
The You Tube player below contains the rehearsal footage and full performances of Brooke Burke and Warren Sapp.
