Dancing with the Stars Season 11!

Amongst all the shows that started this week, twelve new stars took to the ballroom floor in Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars. Wait… no Edyta?! Why bother watching? 😉

But really, the Season 11 stars surprised me. I thought Season 10 was good, but there’s a bunch of potential with this group. Even the DWTS elder, Mrs. Brady, moved better than I’d given her credit for. Sometimes she even moved better than the Hoff. I guess all that crime fighting as Michael Knight and life guarding as Mitch Buchannon took a toll on David Hasselhoff’s bod.

Here’s a quick synopsis of Week 1.

• Audrina Patridge – Pro partner Tony Dovolani is thanking the dancing gods. Audrina has a slim chance at the Mirrorball trophy but at least listens to her partner.
• Brandy – focused
• Bristol Palin – office clerk who’s in the spotlight but is not comfortable with the spotlight.
• Jennifer Grey – didn’t recognize her as Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing. Could go very far with the Patrick Swayze sentiment.
• Kurt Warner – bringing his leadership to the floor and smoother than expected, but can he salsa?
• Kyle Massey – my favorite from Week 1. This chubby cherub can rock!
• Margaret Cho – probably gonna upset the judges one or two more times before elimination.
• Michael Bolton – meh, liked him better with his long locks.
• Mike Sorrentino – Karina Smirnoff is going to break The Situation.
• Rick Fox – he’s dating Eliza Dushku? He divorced Vanessa Williams in 2005? Wow, I’m out of touch. Cheryl Burke gotta like her chances of winning another one.

Here’s Kyle Massey rocking the cha cha cha.

And surprisingly, the Hoff was eliminated in Week 1. Yes, his dancing was bad, but I thought his fame would carry him for a bit.
