Dancing With The Stars Run-Down

Yesterday, the fist episode of the 11th installment of Dancing With the Stars aired. It was a treat as always. This year’s cast is varied and a lot of fun. You’ve got “The Hoff,” “The Situation,” Brandy, Florence Henderson and Bristol Palin, to name a few.

Bristol Palin had a special guest in the audience, her mom, the controversial Sarah Palin. Perhaps Bristol was a bit nervous because her mom was in the crowd because she struggled a bit through her her performance .In fact, her score placed her in the bottom half of the contestants. Other performances of note included The Situation, Brandy, Hosselhoff and Jennifer Grey.

The Situation didn’t do well at all. Supposedly, between all of his other television appearances, he couldn’t squeeze in enough time for practice. He and his partner, Karina Snirnoff, only had a little less then a week to practice. The dancing duo were given a score of 15/30

The Hoff struggled as well. The actor and his partner bombed to “Sex Bomb.” He was also given a score of 15/30. Brandy, the R&B singer did quite well. She and her partner, who danced the Viennese Waltz scored 23/30. If the audience comes through in terms of voting, she is expected to go far in the competition.

Jennifer Gray, who is paired with Derek Hough, had the best outing of the night. Her and Hough’s waltz received the highest score of the night, 24/30.
