Shannen Doherty, Chad Ochocinco, Chelsie Hightower and Kate Gosselin Take the Stage

In a shocking turn of events, Shannen Doherty and partner Mark Ballas became the fan favorites after their Viennese Waltz. The pair wowed the audience! Of course, judge Bruno was not se easily impressed, but their overall score was 18.

Other stars who performed tonight on DWTS were Buzz Aldrin, Aiden Turner, Kate Gosselin, Chad Ochocinco and Pamela Anderson.
Shannen Doherty is stressing out about tonight’s premiere of ‘Dancing With the Stars’. She chatted this morning with Ryan Seacrest about some of the havoc the stress is playing on her because she’s “nervous and freaking out” about the “live audience”.
The former 90210 bad girl will be performing the Vietnamese Waltz on tonight’s premiere with partner Mark Ballas. She said she finds the dance difficult because she’s “not the most graceful girl in the world… more of a sports girl.”

“There is a lot of pressure there, because he [Mark] has had great partners in the past and won twice, and I don’t want to let him down,” she said of her partner. “I adore him.”

Len Goodman: You portrayed ease and elegance throughout.
Bruno Tonioli: What a difficult choreography for week 1.
Carrie Ann Inaba: I’m really really impressed. I see something, it’s coming.

Scores:
Carrie Ann – 6
Len – 6
Bruno – 6
Rickey – 6
