"Can Romeo fill the dancing shoes his father didn't?"

Nothing is forgiven.

He should've been on the show on Season 2, but a pre-show injury prevented him from participating. His father replaced him that season. His father is Master P, one of the most infamous Stars ever to be on that dance floor...

This is her 5th season on the show, and she wants that Mirror Ball Trophy...

He's got more moves than his father, at least... and he doesn't want to show his feminine side... He wants to get further along than his dad somehow did...

Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to Used to be my Romeo

Well he did better than his Dad, but that doesn't take much.

It was pretty good for a first time out.

LAST EDITED ON 03-21-11 AT 09:03 PM (EST)

Had to sing "Romeo" because we'd forget him and the dance in 5 minutes. Hope he grows in the competition. Not as bad as his dad.

eta: he got stuck with Chelsie.

What a gorgeous couple! When do the dating rumors start?

...why is the floor pulsing Kryptonite?

Well, he doesn't have to worry about being a downslope from his father. He won't have VFTW backing him as a legacy either -- but he should be able to pull in enough votes to survive for a while.

(Chelsie's dress: file under Go Look At The Distraction. I think she was worried about his first-time jitters and decided to give people something else to watch.)

Performance was good, technique needs work...

Tom got the band pimpage check...

Scores: 7-6-6 for a total of 19. He almost got as much in one paddle as Master P's lowest score total...

LAST EDITED ON 03-21-11 AT 09:00 PM (EST)

Not sure why he is on the show if he finds it embarressing to do the moves.

I think Carrie Ann overscored him because she thinks he is hot.

Again, Word.

Jennifer Grey's in attendance...

Olympic and 5-time World champion in multiple weight classes

This is Anna's 7th season, and her comment, "I will break you into a dancer..." We knew that phrase was somewhat coming, didn't we?

Ray's more used to being protective in his posture, with his fists up...

Dancing the Fox Trot to Power of Love

He is in great shape for 54 and looks like he's kept up the endurance well.

He really needs to work on those shoulders especially in hold. Did better solo than when in hold.

I typed that BEFORE Bruno agreed with me...I'm skeered now.

Another performance was pretty good, but technique was not so much...

Macy's Stars of Dance and the Design-A-Dance both will return for Results night...

Scores: 6-5-6 for a total of 17

He is entertaining and has some good footwork. But his posture was horrid. He looked like he had no neck.

And thus Daphne's comment about ninja turtles. Head, shell, insert.

16? Seriously? I thought he was going to compete with Wendy. There were times when the referees would have been forced to look away so they wouldn't call him for traveling. 'Walking' would have been unavoidable. And was.

Put it this way: he's no contender...

I think he was definitely better than Wendy. He was pretty bad in hold, but he seemed to have a lot of charisma, and basically the entire time he was out of hold he seemed to be really doing a good job (to me at least ).

Not horrible. Looking forward to more.

Y'know what? For the rest of the season, let's all call him Daphne!

Daphne's got the evil mua-ha-ha down.

Never noticed him do that with a triple 6 score before.

A self-professed 'sexy tomboy' who was once a Girl Next Door, and is now a wife and mother who wants to convert her club dancing into proper dancing... It didn't work for Situation last year, Kendra...

3-time professional world champion, but never a winner on the show... 'What's up with that, people?'

Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to When Love Takes Over

It was pretty good, but you could almost hear the gears in her head grinding as she was thinking her way through the dance.

Again, not horrible. Counting on the trailer park vote.

Scores: 6-6-6 for a total of 18, and the crowd didn't like it...

More of the performance was good, technique wasn't as much... as well as posture issues...

I think she has lots of potential with more practice. I thought her and Louis were going to fall at one point. They stumbled together when he tried to hold her up.

*closes eyes* Migawd. You can take the girl off the stripper pole... And what was with that scoring? The judges talked a 7 and gave out 6s! The Holly Ceiling is back!

She has no internal censor. She is not what some people would consider as 'clean'. She doesn't really care what the voters think of her. And the problem will ultimately be what those voters are thinking right now: don't.

Remember where Pamela finished in Week #1? I hear echoes.

Dear Louis,
Ditch the bimbo, I would be happy to be your partner. Sincerely,
Qwertypie
PS I promise not to kick you in the back of the leg and not overlean in the lunges.

I actually thought this was a lot better than I expected. She definitely made a lot of timing mistakes, and they did look like they almost stumbled once, but that routine was FAST and full of moves. To me it was probably the most difficult routine anyone attempted (though again I cant totally disagree with scores due to the mistakes made), but she definitely has the potential to do well in the future. I do worry about getting enough votes though... I really hope she does well because I always enjoy watching her comments .

The Karate Kid is back to get another mirror ball (trophy).

The sexy siren of the dance floor.

She's becoming Miss Myagi for him, and his 49-year old body isn't happy about it at times...

Dancing the Fox Trot to Ain't That a Kick in the Head (complete with theatre marquee)

He made me smile. Needs work, but made me smile.

Pretty good, needs to work on the shoulders a bit in hold (but could be the jacket wasn't helping).

Well, ain't that a kick in the leaderboard.

I thought he might have something left, but I didn't believe it would be that much. The first dark horse just got out of the stable.

Glowing praise from the judges... he might be our night 1 leader... at least for this point.

Scores: 8-8-8 for a total of 24, and the new leader!

He has done musical theatre so not surprised he did well.

Unique but functional

6-time World Champion, 2-time New York Times best-selling author, Rock and Roller, etc...

2-time DWTS Champion and she's happy to have drawn Chris since he's so entertaining...

However, because his body is so muscular, it seems at times like he's got no neck... and other issues.

Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to Should I Stay or Should I Go? (with pyro launch as he lept off of the stage to a slide...)

Well, he certainly worked for it. But I'm waiting for the meat.

*raises eyebrow*

That pleather was just wrong or something. Needed a different fabric.

He did have a good time, and Len seems to like the Big Boys.

Team Chericho is in the house... Carrie Ann feels that there could be more in the dance... Some minor complaints from Len/Bruno as well, but mostly praise...

Scores: 7-6-6 for a total of 19.

The season of the one-note introduction is starting to annoy me.

Well, he had fun with it. I'm not entirely sure he completely knew what he was doing at any point, I don't know why the screaming never stopped during his rehearsal footage, and I'm sure he would have gone for a chair at the first sign of trouble. But he was definitely having fun.

People aren't landing on his head every half-hour. That currently qualifies as 'fun'.

The minute Carrie Ann thought he was hot I knew he would get a 7 from her and 6s from the guys.

He now works with Dr. Drew on the radio show 'Loveline' and is pretty much guaranteed to be the 'Who?' Star this season...

Lacey's been to the Finals twice and this time it's Everything or Nothing... (probably better odds on Nothing...)

We're in for heck here on this one...

Dancing the Fox Trot to Cooler Than Me

Radio is a good place for him.

Lacey's roots kept distracting me.

He was awfully stiff, but I like his sense of humor about himself. Make up for lack of talent by being the least well known person on the show. *snerk*

How did Paul McDonald get on this show?

*snerk*

That's funny!

I've never heard of this guy, but he made me laugh in that Kenny Mayne way.

>That's funny!
>
>I've never heard of this guy,
>but he made me laugh
>in that Kenny Mayne way.
>
Lol that is definitely a very close comparison. Almost all his jokes were exactly like what I'd expect from Kenny Mayne. I actually didn't think his dancing was worse than Wendy's though. Yes he was stiff as a board, but he at least seemed to be moving a little bit. I think he'll get a higher score on the jive, though probably nothing higher than 5-6 .

The tin foil dress was distracting. But that was bad footwork.

Scores: 5-4-4 for a total of 13, and Dead Freaking Last...

Most known for her role on Cheers and various movie roles, but she's had weight issues in the past that now complicates things for her... and she's 60 to boot...

The Bad Boy of the Ballroom has his hands full with this one, literally and figuratively...

Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to Forget You

They start off on the stage before moving to the dance floor proper...

Well done! I didn't realize she is 60!

Love her!!! She's so much fun and looks amazing for 60...guess it helps to be young at heart...

Wow, I am really surprised by how good that was, and how well she performed that.

It is also nice to see a 60 year old with a face that looks good but not like she's trying to be 22. I dunno if she's had any work, but so few women her age in Hollywood still look like themselves anymore.

I think the best way to describe the judge's reactions is: *jawdrop*

Scores: 8-7-8 for a total of 23, which puts them in 2nd!

It was an impressive first effort -- I just don't know if it was 23 worth of impressive. It feels like they overscored her by a couple of points -- given the number of seasons the show has tried to sign her, they're not ready to give her up too quickly.

Kirstie is entertaining. Maks is hot. They danced well. I am happy.

I think she is so uninhibited that it really helped her. She looks good and I think she can handle Maxs. He might even have fun working with someone who is not 22 and a size 2.

Unihibited, yes, but also self confident. Very refreshing and quite the contrast to Bristol last season who looked the same size, but lacked the confidence.

So did he slip Florence the tongue, or the other way around?

The biggest surprise to me seeing this dance was how quickly and smoothly she seemed to be able to move. When I saw the package and just looking at her, I expected a much more wendy-like performance , especially at her age. But she got out there and moved. She was definitely extremely tired at the end but I think she'll build more stamina as the season goes.

looking forward to the season.

So - just to recap
Chelsea/Mark - better than I thought - but Mark please shut up
Wendy/Tony - Wendy needs to loosen up
Hines/Kym - love Kym, can't get past the thug on the football field
Petra/Dmitry - Petra is so sweet and tough to fight through that injury, Dmitry is just yum
Romeo/Chelsie - more about Chelsie than the celeb - he did okay - but she needs to back off - it's about HIM not HER
Sugar Ray/Anna - Anna gets another stiff athlete - Kurt had a huge fan base - we'll see how far he can go
Kendra/Louis - Kendra please dial down the hoochie coochie - it does not work on the ballroom dance floor
Ralph/Karina - YAY Ralph - that was awesome - so smooth and graceful
Chris/Cheryl - Cheryl gets another athlete - he is so bulky it will hard for him to be graceful on the dance floor
Mike/Lacey - yipes - that was hard to watch - at least Lacey won't go too far
Kirstie/Maksim - loved it, loved it, loved it - I had read that Kirstie was very nervous - but she really rocked it

How's my recap?

LAST EDITED ON 03-22-11 AT 06:33 PM (EST)

I just wanted to add that I really, really, really dislike Chelsie Hightower. In case you were wondering.

Oh, in case no one has welcomed you yet, Welcome!

A couple of the men really knew how to move - and much more than just walking around.

Why is it that the men who have the most to learn have pros who use them for a prop? The dance around them, all the twisting & booty shaking & the guy takes a few steps and maybe a turn or 2.
The female pros have to make the men do more; being a prop isn't good enough.

I don't see the male pros having the women contestants just stand there while they dance around them....

LAST EDITED ON 03-22-11 AT 05:47 PM (EST)

In my opinion the best dancer was the first dancer....Chelsea. Second best Kirstie.

Don't know why Ralph got those high scores...he had some funny arm action and in my opinion was not very fluent.

Chelsea got a bum draw. No one is talking about her because they compared her to the final three dancers from last season....and no one knows her yet.

Kirstie looked to me to be the favorite to win. Not only was she very good but she is 60 and over-weight. She keeps that up she is the winner for sure. Only problem was she seemed out of breath after her dance.

The talk show host will go home first. I just don't see the elderly sympathy/cute vote going his way. Plus they do not know who he is. Wendy will survive, the worst dancer usually does the first week.

Protests over Chris Brown performing at the results show.

Sounds like he needs to go back to anger management.

So if you can prove you were hit by falling glass shards while walking outside the GMA building this morning, have we got a lawsuit for you!

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/03/22/new.york.chris.brown/

Not appearing in this article: he apparently tore off his shirt somewhere in the building, left any jacket behind, and exited into a cold Manhattan morning wearing a pair of pants and a glower. Because, you know, showing you're willing to freeze like an idiot is just so threatening.

Wendy's already been publicly thrilled to be in the building next Tuesday so she can be a potential eyewitness. Presumably from a safe distance.
