Episode Recap: "Premiere" (Sept. 24, 2007)


Wow! Before the premiere of DWTS, I had no idea who Sabrina Bryan was - but now I won't forget her! That was some cha-cha. The best ever on the show, according to Carrie Ann Inaba. I agree. This girl is the one to beat!

If anyone can go toe-to-toe with Sabrina, it's Mel B. She looks fantastic and she can shake it too! Her energy is surprising, considering she has an infant at home!

Speaking of infants, congratulations go to Samantha Harris on the birth of her baby girl! It is different without her, is it not? It surprises me to say it, but I miss her. Drew Lachey is a welcome addition as host, but the backstage interviews just aren't the same.

But back to the dancing! I love Jennie Garth. Is it me, or is she more beautiful now than during her 90210 days? Once she finds her confidence, I think she has major potential. I am rooting for her all the way!

Someone else to look out for is Jane Seymour. She is grace personified! But maybe that should come as no surprise, considering her ballet background. She has class and confidence that will take her far! Still, can she shake it in a Latin dance? That remains to be seen!

I am happy to report that I do not have to criticize Marie Osmond. (Because who wants to see tears from her, really? No more drama!) She is not the best dancer technically, but I think her smile and enthusiasm really distract from her lackluster footwork. I don't see her winning the competition, but I hope she sticks around for awhile. It's refreshing to see someone having so much fun! Go Marie!

Josie Maran is in last place, and I hate to say it, but that's where she belongs. I want to see her loosen up! On the plus side, she is gorgeous. Who among us can say that? Maybe Alec can whip her into shape, but it may be too late if she gets the axe.

Coming up next time: The men! I am so ready! Who do you think will be the guy to beat? Will anyone sink below Josie into last place? Will Wayne Newton's orange skin light up the stage? We'll find out soon! Until then, stop back here and tell me what you think!
