I think Dancing with the Stars got off to a great start tonight!
First dancer was Joey Lawrence. I thought he did a great job. He looked like he was having fun and I'm looking forward to seeing him progress.
I have to say, when Emmit Smith came up and they said he was the football player, all I could think was that it would be a repeat of last season where Jerry Rice tried hard but just didn't cut it - in my opinion (which is what all of this is, my opinion). But Oh. My. God! He was fabulous. I was very impressed. I think he's going to be a true contender! Wow!
I wasn't overly impressed with Willa Ford. I was watching her and felt like she was doing a lot of posing as opposed to dancing. The foxtrot, according to Len, is a romantic / love dance. I saw a lot of love there but she was directing it all at herself - at least from my point of view. But the judges loved her. Don't get it.
Then, when my named favorite (Mario, in case you forgot) came up and they showed the work background, I was worried. I really didn't think he was going to step up to the plate. But WOW, did he ever! He was my favorite tonight, and I'm not just saying that because he was my named favorite (Emmit is a close second though!).
I thought Vivica A. Fox nailed it tonight. I guess I'm not a big fan of the foxtrot because none of the other ladies did it for me at all but I thought she was great. She was in my top three favorites tonight. Good job!
And then there's Jerry. You know, he didn't suck tonight. In fact, he did alright. I hope he gets to come back next week.
I'm excited about this season!
What did y'all think?

I didn't watch, but my stepmom did (she's staying with us right now), and she said about the same things you did. She loved Mario and said that surprisingly, Jerry wasn't 1/2 bad (though not great). The problem for me is that it's on opposite House, which I always watch. I guess we need to get one of those TIVO things. :)
Oh, late to the game here, L, but you were right on the money about Mario. He and his partner were awesome! They were so sexy, so in sync. I absolutely adored them.
I thought Emmit was great-lots of personality. I felt bad for Harry H. It's obvious he really wanted to do well, but he fell so flat. I hope he does better tomorrow. Jerry was a surprise. I thought he would totally suck, but at least he tried. Tucker was the right one to go, imo. Can't wait till tomorrorow!
