And reality fans, Cameron is also the host of "I wanna be a soap star" on Soap Net channel. I am curious to see Mark Cuban. He just had hip replacement surgery.

I enjoyed the show last night. I LOVED Josie..she's adorable. I wish they been kinder about her dancing. I hope one the guys does blow it tonight, because I want to see more of Josie. I agree with you, Curlyq, about the judges complaints. I thought she did fine. She may have been a little rounded, rather than sharp, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching her. I didn't really care for the Cheetah Girl gal pushing her dance into hip hop. While her dancing was okay, there's something about her that makes me not want to watch her as much as the others. I love Marie as well. I was so worried for her last night, but she did great. She's had a lot of personal problems recently and I want this to be a positive experience for her. I've seen her in person as well and love her and her brother. I would love to see Donny do the show next season. He can dance. I'm curious to see how Wayne Newton does tonight. I'm thinking he'll be stiff. I don't know why he keeps having more plastic surgery. It's not becoming. ETA: I forgot to mention...what a brother/sister duo two of the professionals are...Julianne & Derek. They were fantastic in the opening number. They both really stand out in their dances with their partners as well.

I thought Josie is adorable and her dance didn't deserve the harsh critisim that it received from the judges. I felt bad for her. Why go there on the first night. Was it me or does Derek look like a young version of the guy in the movie Titantic...can't think of his name right now.

Cinnamon and Wilson -- Yeah, I realized that I mixed up Helio with Dario today while I was on a field trip to a colonial city. I was sitting in the Ordinary and whamo, it popped in my head. I felt like a goober. lol.

Going to do a little wrap up of tonight in case anyone misses it. :-) Cam was up first doing Foxtrot. Not bad once he got into it, definitely some first week mistakes in there but he did catch Edyta at the end when she did her falling backbend. Carrie 7, Len 7, Bruno 7, total 21. Floyd attacked the Cha Cha (after wanting to quit at first because it's so tough, making Karina leave, he thought it over and decided to give it his all). Nice hips and quick feet, posture not suo great. Some hip-hop thrown in, mostly Karina flicking herself around Floyd, but he did a nice job. Carrie 6, Len 6, Bruno 6, total 18. Helio Came out with the Foxtrot (after they showed him crash in a race during training for the show). Wow. Beautiful glide, amazing smile. Looked like an old movie Fred and Ginger style... Just gorgeous. Carrie 8, Len 9, Bruno 8, total 25. Albert started his Cha Cha with the Blue Steel Zoolander walk, then Anna took his shirt off (well, one of them). Definitely nice to look at, has potential with the dancing. Wasn't all that great with the moves but had fun doing it and put a lot of personality into it. Len said it was like watching a stripper - you don't care what they're doing you just sit back and enjoy. Carrie 7, Len 7, Bruno 7, total 21. Mark (who had his hip replaced 7 weeks before starting training) Foxtrotted through the pain. Nice and smooth, a bit flat footed especially in turns, a bit slouchy too. Looked pretty good though. Carrie 7, Len 7, Bruno 7, total 21. Wayne Freakin' Newton Cha Cha'd. Kind of stiff and heavy footed but enjoyable to watch (mostly because he's Wayne Freakin' Newton). Carrie 6, Len 7, Bruno 6, total 19. Out of the guys, I'd have to say Helio was by far my favorite. I think Wayne was the bottom (sorry Mr Newton!). Out of all 12, I think Josie is a goner -- which means Alec is out first once again.

Josie needs to be a little more than three-quarters of a percent higher in the audience vote than Floyd is to stay (which is going to be difficult at best).

Wayne got a higher score than Floyd? That ain't right (Wayne Newton or not.) Bless his heart, I think he needs to go. But I don't think he will. It may be Josie....and I didn't think she was that bad. But I don't think she has the fan base. I think this is the most talented group they have had yet. They did great for the first shows!

Yes -- I thought Wayne was overscored as well. Sure, he's Wayne Freakin' Newton (yeah, I actually say that every time I say his name, lol), but Floyd had a lot more RIGHT in his dance than did Wayne Freakin' Newton. If this is just the first week, and we're already seeing such high caliber performances, how in the heck is the next season going to get anyone to do it? They've set the bar really high.

I miss Ashley. Of the women...I liked the Cheetah Girl. Of the men...I liked the Indy car driver guy. I actually kinda liked Mark Cuban (that's his name right?)...I didn't care for him at all on that show "The Benefactor".

Nick, I think Mark was supposed to be a hard-ass business dude on Benefactor. On DWTS, he can just be a crazy guy. Ashley was always my favorite for the Jive. Maybe she'll drop by and do a pro dance. That would be nice, and better than nothing.

I think the model will go, I thought she came across a little snotty in her practice clips Wow, Pamy, I didn't see her as snotty at all. I thought she had a great sense of humor. Her "Hot, HOT, HOOOOOOOOTTT" when she met her partner had me rolling. I thought she was very down-to-earth. Put me on the list who thinks she was underscored compared to Wayne Newton. So wrong! He walked through his dance and got 7's?? Come on judges. Sheesh! I LOVED Julianne and Helio...what a cutie..um, umm, ummmm! That is the best choreography I've ever seen. Who does the choreo..the dancers or someone else?

I was really impressed with Helio's foxtrot, and I expect he will do a great job with the latin dances; he's definitely my favorite at this point. It will be interesting to see how well some of them do when they have to perform both latin and smooth dances. The top scoring woman, Sabrina, did a raucous cha cha cha, but I can't imagine her doing a successful waltz. And Jane did an elegant foxtrot, but how will she do with the jive? I think Josie will be gone tomorrow. I would have liked to see how she developed as a dancer. Wayne is the klutz of the cast, but I imagine with his name he'll be around for several weeks. I do not miss Samantha Harris at all; her voice just did not carry over the screaming crowd and she added nothing to the show. Tom Bergeron, however, is a superb host with a quick wit.

Boy, the men's night was the opposite of the ladies' night. I was underwhelmed in general. Cameron Mathison was okay but looked a bit stiff and scared. The race car driver was a little better, but not that fantastic either. They all pretty much looked like it was their first week. What a letdown that boxer was after all that hype on yesterday's show. He needs to separate his shoulders from his ears and completely re-learn how to move. I totally understood what Carrie Ann meant about being confused over the model's dance. It was jam-packed with stuff, but not enough recognizable cha-cha. Too much smoke and mirrors for my taste. Wayne Newton did as well as could be expected, but he may be this year's Ratzenberger. Len was so much easier on him than he was on Josie who moved a lot better. I noticed that when the host talked about someone leaving tomorrow the camera shot straight to Josie.

Cricket, the professional dancing partners do the choreography. And yes Tom Bergeron is one of the best/most enjoyable hosts around. I liked Drew better tonight than last night as co-host. He seems to be getting more into the groove; loved his little interchange with Cheryl Burke.

I enjoyed both shows. The girls seem much stronger. I voted for Jennie and Mark...6 whole votes each. They really get a good variety of people on this show.

I really love this show. It's so nice to watch a reality show that is FUN and no one is complaining or plotting against someone else. Plus I love seeing how they improve each week.

I wouldn't want to see Cat Deeley on this show. Her voice irritates me too much. I never had a problem with Samantha, although I do agree with Penpoint about the crowd drowning her out. In fact, I have trouble hearing any of the hosts over the crowd. They really need to do something about that, especially after reading that there's a guy signaling the crowd to whoop it up. He should signal them to dial it down when the hosts start talking. Does it seem like the music so far has been much more appropriate for the dances than in previous seasons? I'm thinking of the foxtrot in particular. It really helped with the way the performances came across. I hope they'll keep it up.
