Please keep all details of tonight's opening night carnage here until midnight, at least.

Also, I've created a general contestant, judge and interviewer thread a few minutes prior so we can try to herd in the Bachelor Jake, Kate, and Ochostinko bashers, among others.........

General rule for the Performance Night threads: I will post the dancers in the subject/topic header and then inside put what they're attempting to dance, as well as what I think the band is attempting to play for them to try to dance to. I will also then try to pick up in a reply to that post a highlight of the interview with our newly minted Brooke-bot, previous champion she is and all that, and the judges scores for them, and when necessary what their total judges scores are for the voting period.

Tonight's dances, per TV Guide.com, are the Viennese Waltz, and the Cha Cha Cha. After tonight, there will be another Performance Night, before next Tuesday's Results Night and the return of the Red Light of Doom/Red Light Special........ and if there is any kind of special weirdness like a Dance-Off or somesuch...........
