Buzz Aldrin deserves a break on Dancing with the Stars; Kate Gosselin ... not somuch
Dancing with the Stars premiered with an array of talent. Just not necessarily, dancing talent.
The dancing ranged from Nicole Scherzinger's knockout moves to Kate Gosselin's dud of a dance— but most of it was mediocre. The trainers have a lot of work cut out for them.
If you didn't get to watch The Season 10 debut, here's a breakdown of how the celebrities are doing:
Chad Ochocinco — We can all breathe a sigh of relief — he's a football player with rhythm AND soul! So much better than last season's Michael Irvin.
Shannen Doherty — Gracefully in the middle. We will forget her dance but it was better than Kate’s (which is what really matters here)!
Jake Pavelka — After all the hype about his dancing on The Bachelor, I expected more. It turns out he’s also an annoying perfectionist. Prediction: Jake and Chelsie (his partner) hook-up (She looks a little like Ali...).
Niecy Nash — Hilarious! It’s worth tuning into the show just to hear her commentary. She dedicated her dance to “thick girls everywhere” and declared she loved her “jiggly parts.” Love her!
Buzz Aldrin — Most heart-warming performance of the night. Why were the judges so critical? Come on Bruno, he’s 80 and a national hero!
Erin Andrews — A whirr of tall, yellow, swirling mess .... that the judges loved. I am not a fan.
Evan Lysacek — Burst the “all ice skaters can dance” bubble. He’s good, but no Kristi Yamaguchi.
Nicole Scherzinger — Mya déjà vu! She’s fabulous and my new projected winner. (What do you expect — she’s a trained dancer.)
Aiden Turner — What did he dance again? I just remember his partner’s near-naked outfit.
Kate Gosselin — A mess! In my opinion, worst performance of the opener, and why did they dress her in baby pink? Was that a joke?
Pamela Anderson — We got to see her without makeup in rehearsal. I didn’t know that could happen! As far as dancing goes, as much as I hate to admit it, she was good.
