On the Season 19 premiere of Dancing With the Stars, this fall’s collection of celebrities made their debuts with their pro partners on the famed ABC parquet.
Who shone brightest and who flopped?
“The ballroom is bursting with enthusiasm,” longtime host Tom Bergeron exclaimed, and he wasn’t talking about new judge Julianne Hough’s bust line.
Wait, he was, actually. Never mind.
That like could also have been used to describe some of Dancing With the Stars Season 19 Episode 1‘s best highlights, however. And there were many.
There were also stumbles aplenty.
Many of the stars did not put their best foot forward, at least not at the onset, but we blame the treacherous Cha-Cha for the relative lack of greatness.
Here were the scores from Monday:
- Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson (Jive): 36
- Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas (Cha-Cha): 34
- Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev (Foxtrot): 32
- Bethany Mota and Derek Hough (Jive): 32
- Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff (Foxtrot): 31
- Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker (Jive): 30
- Tavis Smiley and Sharna Burgess (Foxtrot): 29
- Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy (Jive): 29
- Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd (Cha-Cha): 27
