Photo credit: ABC
One on the most anticipated premiers in Dancing with the Stars history has proven to be well worth the wait. Brooke Burke, Dancing with the Stars season seven champion, made her debut as Tom Bergeron's new co-host and the 2010 lineup of celebrities have demonstrated talent beyond the expectations of many Dancing with the Stars viewers.
The Dancing with the Stars 2010 lineup of celebrities were required to learn and perform either a Cha Cha or a Viennese Waltz for the two hour season 10 premier. Below you will find a summary of the comments made by the judges of Dancing with the Stars, for each of the eleven contestants performance, along with the score awarded by the judges.
Chad Ochocinco and professional partner, Cheryl Burke, danced a Cha Cha. Chad, who professes to have no dancing experience whatsoever was described as having a huge, huge talent. Primal and a bit rough around the edges at times, but talent nonetheless. Chad Ochocinco scored an 18 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Shannen Doherty and professional partner, Mark Ballas, danced a Viennese Waltz. Shannen is scared to death of a live performance, but you would have never known. The Viennese Waltz is all about ease and elegance, which Shannen portrayed throughout the dance. She had a rough start, but opened up as the dance progressed. Shannen Doherty scored an 18 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Erin Andrews and professional partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, danced a Cha Cha. Erin is afraid of not being as good as she wants to be, but the judges described her Cha Cha as having a zest and vitality to the completion, as a debut it was wonderful. Erin Andrews scored a 21 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Jake Pavelka and professional partner, Chelsie Hightower, danced a Viennese Waltz. Jake, ABC's 'The Bachelor', recently flew on the wings of love to find his soul mate, but now his feet are planted firmly on the dance floor. Jake's Viennese Waltz was described as having gorgeous lines, but he needed to work on his posture and calm down. Don't be so rough with his partner, try not to bounce her around so much. Jake Pavelka scored a 20 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Niecy Nash and professional partner, Louis Van Amstel, danced a Cha Cha. Niecy described herself as the chubby girl who stood by the wall during dances; well not tonight. Niecy performed a crisp and clean Cha Cha that was sassy and sexy. I don't understand how Len found it uneventful. Niecy Nash scored an 18 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Evan Lysacek and professional partner, Anna Trebunskaya, danced a Viennese Waltz. Evan may have no experience as a dancer but his Viennese Waltz proved he had the grace of a swan, but with clumsy feet. Well Len, give him a break. He is adjusting to wearing shoes instead of ice skates. Evan Lysacek scored a 23 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Buzz Aldrin and professional partner, Ashley Costa (formerly DelGrosso), danced a Cha Cha. Buzz may have amazed millions when he walked on the moon but he did not amaze the judges with his Cha Cha. It was described as not being good, it looked as if he were dancing with his moon boots on. Let us see them do a Cha Cha when they are 80! Buzz Aldrin scored a 14 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Nicole Scherzinger and professional partner, Derek Hough, danced a Viennese Waltz. Nicole's previous experience as a singer/dancer paid off this evening with her Viennese Waltz. Deemed a performance of sparkling finesse, setting the bar for season 10. Len however, was still grumpy stating that the footwork was off, there was no musicality, and Nicole needed to work on her technique. Nicole Scherzinger scored a 25, the highest score of the season 10 premier, from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Aiden Turner and professional partner, Edyta Sliwinska, danced a Cha Cha. Aiden may be a daytime soap stud on 'All My Children' but he was a Ballroom dud on 'Dancing with the Stars'. Aiden was accused of standing there, shaking his "wobbly bits", as Edyta danced around him. The Cha Cha was stiff as a plank, it didn't flow. Aiden Turner scored a 15 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Kate Gosselin and professional partner, Tony Dovolani danced a Viennese Waltz. Kate's eight children told her she couldn't dance, maybe she should have listened. Her Viennese Waltz was without fluidity and the technique was terrible. However, she was also described as having a vulnerability, which was appealing. Kate Gosselin scored a 16 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.
Pamela Anderson and professional partner, Damian Whitewood, danced a Cha Cha. Pamela states that she is tone deaf and has no rhythm. It really didn't matter. Her Cha Cha left Bruno in quite a state, thinking about "sex, sex, and more sex. The dirtier the better!", Len found it to be a mess, "But, the sex was good." Pamela Anderson scored a 21 from the Dancing with the Stars judges.

Didn't watch it.
Won't watch it until after Gosselin is voted off.
I expected a little more excitement from Brooke. She just didn't have the enthusiasm that Samantha Harris has in the past seasons. As for Kate, she has overstayed her welcome in the spotlight. Go home and take care of your kids!
Aiden has a lot more potential...!!! He just got off to a rough start...just found his new website, see what he's upto. aidenturneroffical.com
I would like to see Gosselin go before Buzz.
Kate Gosselin is NO star!!! should not even be on this show!! what an insult to the real stars. Hope she is the first to leave!! Loved, Loved, Pamela Anderson and The Pussycat girl! Guys ? The sports guy was really good.
Kate's true self came out when she GLARED at the judge who criticized her dancing and how DARE SHE even think she represents the single moms of the world! Seriously! How many of us have agents hawking on every talk show available and live in $1 Million+ home with nannies? At least Buzz contributed something worthile to the world and has a reason to be less agile - HE IS 80! Kate, get a life like a real mother and we all know the shrew you were on TLC, it came out last night AGAIN.
I personally, think Kate deserves to be on Dancing with the Stars. Leave her alone and let her DANCE! Go tangle with her exhusband who is the lowest of low!
Will watch once she is gone!!!
I was sad to see Samantha go - at least she had elegance and class. Who on earth decided to put Brooke Burke in an all but topless dress for her first night? Is that what we need to see in a co-host? No - we do not. And Bruno (who I've always enjoyed) needs to control his tongue with respect to Pam Anderson. It's insulting to her. Yes - she's a sexy lady but even she achieved a good balance on the dance floor. Bruno however was an embarrassment to us all and insulting to Pam. You are losing your class and elegance as a great show. Please think about it.
I think Buzz needs to take a hike.
I really don't think I will be an avid follower this year with the new co-host. Samantha had such elegance and grace; who decided to put Brooke on there? Your show is slowly going down hill and with Brooke as the co-host, it is going faster. She cannot take the place of the beautiful and graceful Samantha. At least if she has to be there, get someone to tell her what to wear and how to do her hair!
Feel bad for Brooke, because, no matter what, she will never (nor could anyone) compare to Samantha as a co-host. Samantha was such a joy to watch -- an elegant, classy, fun-loving, tasteful, wonderful woman. I realize last night was the debut, but, dull, dull, dull.
I've been an avid fan since DwS first aired. Last night I was disappointed by replacing the former gracious hostess with "Miss Boobs". Pamela Anderson on? Oh, really! You stooped low to bring on PornQueen. The women's costumes are getting too revealing to be a decent show. Too bad, I loved the dancing. You lost another viewer now.
Edyta sliwinska what is up with her dressing like a stripper. She shows no class just sleaze. Pam anderson's hair extensions were frizzy or did she think she looked sexy ? Your old pam. Why not let theair out of the implants and retire in the land of hasbeens. Yuk!
I( don't think Len like African American. Everytime he give them low score. Well, I will VOTE everytime to keep them in.
SEND KATE HOME!!! She is terrible, she should've listened to her twins and didn't even do the show. And again, her true self came out with the fight with Tony. Tony seems so sweet and never had issues with anyone before last night. Would someone please tell Brooke not to pass the Microphone before she stops talking... it's driving me crazy!!
I'm really hoping that they let Kate go, she is a horrible dancer and I dont theink she will ever improve. She is just looking at this as another way to try to get in the spotlight cause that's all she's good at. SEND HER HOME TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE KIDS!!!!!!!
I really don't know what was funnier, seeing Kate act like she was victomized by Tony in rehearsal or how STUPID she looked on stage with her performance! She's no Madam Full Charge on this show. Go home...your terrible!
Buss is painful to watch too but atleast he's willing to listen and try.
come on judges WHY are you being so hard on the dancers when it is only the second week but is giving nicole from the pusseycat dolls tens and praising her on how wonderful her dancing is news flash she sings and DANCES for a living VERY UNFAIR TO THE OTHER DANCERS GO AWAY NICOLE and PLEASE GO AWAWY KATE and NEVER come back
THIS SHOW IS STARTING TO BE A JOKE. THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE GETTING VOTED OFF ALREADY.THIS IS A DANCE SHOW NOT A POPALARITY CONTEST.VOTE FOR THE DANCE THE PERSON !!!!! IF YOU VOTE JUST FOR THE PERSON YOUR A MORON !!!!! YEA YOU !!!!
Who the heck is voting & not voting. Sending Shannen home was a huge mistake. What about Ochocinco, Aldrin, or especially Gosslein. Anyone of them should have gone home first. I do agree with the others that the show is loosing its class and elegance. People need to vote for the dance not just the person. This is a dance show after all.

Im very disappointed that "Buzz"stayed...he is a disgrace!!! I thought the show was about dancing!!! Let the judges vote after all they are the experts not the public who seem to have a popularity contest going not a dance contest. It is so stupid!!!
Well you have lost me as a viewer...the show turned into a really sad mess!!! Letting losers like Buzz and Pam stay or even be on a show like this is a joke!!! The show lost it's class!!
David certainly wasn't the worst dancer, but he wasn't a top contender.
The Judges say whatever comes to there mouth regarding the dancers.
It is time to change the judges.
