I saw it!
I wanted to watch it because it seemed like such a throwback to the days when they used to have programs like Circus of the Stars and such.
Keeping in mind that I'm not an expert on ballroom dancing....
Joey McIntyre - I thought he did a good job. They came out first and really set the tone for everyone else. I agree that he didn't pretty good with his quick footwork.
Evander Holyfield - I don't get why the judges thought he was brilliant. It seemed like all he did was stand there while his partner danced around him. I think they gave him extra credit for being a boxer.
John O'Hurly - Since he was an older gentleman, he couldn't be as snappy as the others. However, I loved the way he just threw himself into the presentation!
Rachel Hunter - She had some very graceful lines as she danced. Nice job.
Trista Sutter - I was distracted by the fact that she kept giggling her way through the performance like she thought it was funny. Perhaps she was really nervous. Also, like one of the judges pointed out, she didn't finish her arm movements and make them last like Rachel did.
Kelly Monaco - I thought they did ok-ish. The judges thought she looked like she had been to a funeral. I think maybe she was trying to convey dignity and elegance in her dance and it didn't pan out. In any case, her attitude afterwards was disappointing; she seemed unlikable.
