Dara, I thought it was okay for a first night, but you seemed quite gangly and awkward.

So, Dara is so far the lowest scoring woman. But can the next star improve on her score? It's Eddie Cibrian!
I have to agree with Stig, an impressive performance!

I think you could be benefited by a more lively dance, but I think that surprisingly you had the basic steps down and it wasn't that bad! You could still improve, though, so we'll see.

The tenth to dance is the brilliant Dot Marie Jones and her partner Jonathan Roberts...
I'm sorry Dot, that wasn't very good at all, especially when you tripped on your dress and headbutted Jonathan in the face. Well done for trying, though.

Yeah, I kinda gave extra points for the headbutt. Anyway, following that performance is the beautiful girl, Kristen Dalton and her partner Brian Fortuna with a Salsa. The pair are dressed in short, golden outfits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHR3NjSPj8k
I really enjoyed that actually - I see why you were voted Miss USA! Although it wasn't the best technical dance of the night, I think you two did yourselves quite proud.
I have to agree, you did the entire dance really well, great job!

Great score for Kristen, but we go from the young to the old now, isn't that right, Stig?
It is, with a 61 year old age gap between Kristen and our next contestant, it's James Bond legend Honor Blackman and Corky Ballas!
They take to the floor wearing traditional waltz outfits, and Honor is wearing a white and gold dress. They are dancing to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQU14HARffw
That was a nice performance, you two. I know given your age that you can't do cartwheels and the splits and all that, but it was a little bit safe, even for a woman of 85. Still, well done, because I liked it!

Honor really did surprise! But can our next princess do well? The reason I say this is that she is dressed in a light green dress (obviously the costume designers splashed out a lot on this!) similar to this - with a Waltz, it is Ciara and her partner Derek Hough! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX9xFxi8L3E

Ciara's pretty much the leader - unless our next star can score a perfect 30 who is it, Stig?
He's got the magic, magic, magic, but will this be a magic moment, or will awful-cadabra? It's the magic man Mr David Copperfield and Ashly Costa!
David and Ashly take to the stage, for their magic-themed waltz. David is dressed as a magician, and Ashly is in a glass box. He takes the curtain off of it, and Ashly appears by the judges desk. They then start dancing, to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xBG_d-_6bc
