Is there no results show on week 1? I have a feeling that last time when I set this up to record on Sky, the results show didn't record but I can't rememeber if it was on Watch or not

Raven, thanks for letting us know when its on

No, there's no results show in week 1 as there is no elimination. Everyone dances again next week (Monday in the US), and then the first result show is on the Tuesday. So next week, here, we should get two shows on the Friday night.

I think cpgcorner must have gone to bed, so here are the rest of the links from Codebear3 but they don't include the training footage. Once cpgcorner wakes up and carries on uploading I'll post those links too. At least you can see the dances!

Evan & Anna - Viennese Waltz

Buzz & Ashly - Cha Cha Cha

Nicole & Derek - Viennese Waltz

Aidan & Edyta - Cha Cha Cha

Kate & Tony - Viennese Waltz

Pamela & Damien - Cha Cha Cha

OK thanks for letting me know

On first viewing, it looks like Evan and Nicole will be the ones to beat.

A couple of thoughts.

Maks and Erin had great chemistry. So far she can stand up to Maks. I think she will have the learning curve and "story."

Chad O. also has potential to me.

Jake was better than I thought he would be. I don't know how strong his fan base is though.

Shannon was endearing.

Evan doesn't have a clue about chemistry with his partner. I hope he figures it out because he is destined for the finals.

My heart aches for Aiden. First he has to deal with Edyta's choreography which is too gimmicky and relies on costumes. I imagine she is trying to repeat what she had with Jason but it didn't come across. My hope is that he does a Ty Murray and comes out with a surprisingly good ballroom next week. A girl can hope.

Neicy will provide the comedy this year. If she gets better every week, I think she will stay a while.

Please don't let Buzz be another John Sargeant. That was painful to watch. He may do a sweet foxtrot and stay through next week. I liked the shout out from the team in space.

True to form Len will the voice of reason on the judging panel and be tough on the ringers and expect more from them. I know he takes a lot flack from the fans of SCD but I love him on DWTS.

I am embarrased that Americans only know the word amazing and the alternative awesome. Oh well.

I voted online giving all votes to Jake and Chelsie. I feel like they'll need it.

Pamela Anderson is a bag of crazy. That always helps.

They have a new Tesspit.

If I were on this show, even though I fancy Mark and Derek, I'd want to be paired with Tony. He's so sweet! Kate's very lucky!

Yeah Tony has come a long way since his Stacy Keibler days. He was tough on her.

Some post interviews.

From USA magazine. I can't post link because it shows my name.

Bruno defends himself.

Tart-tongued Dancing With the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli doesn't regret telling Kate Gosselin she was "terrible" on Monday's premiere.

"Kate wasn't very good -- she can't perform," he told UsMagazine.com Tuesday at a party celebrating Evan Lysacek's Olympic Gold Medal at Ralph Lauren in L.A. "But she will learn."

PHOTOS: Before they were on Dancing With the Stars!

On Monday's show, he also told Gosselin, 34, that it looked like her partner Tony Dovolani was "pushing a shopping cart around the floor" as they danced the Viennese Waltz.


"It was true! It wasn't harsh!" Tonioli, 54, told Us. "She was like a shopping cart! Sometimes people need to be shaken up a bit to keep it up! It's the truth, it's what I feel, it's just being honest!

"If you want love, go to your mother!" he added. "This is Dancing with the Stars, and you know what you're going to get! "It's a competition and there are people who are working very, very hard," he went on. "And to get there, you have to say, 'OK, I didn't perform, I was stiff, I was like a shopping cart.' They have to come back and show it."

But professional dancer Mark Ballas feels for Gosselin.

"Poor woman!" he told Us. "She's here trying to have a good time and trying to make her kids and family proud. Tony is an excellent teacher and a great mentor and has been guiding her through it. We all want to support her, and I think she'll do fine."

Although I wouldn't be as harsh as Bruno, I tend to agree with him. She really wasn't very good. Predictions are that she'll be the first one voted off.

I am hoping that the curiousity factor with Kate G. will wear off. She is not well liked in America despite being tabloid fodder. She is doing the jive Monday and unless a miracle I cannot see her pulling it off. I pray that the public does not want to see her prolong her misery. Tony is doing the best he can but he knows that his season will be short.

Please Aiden take to the foxtrot and redeem yourself. I'd much rather see him come along than Kate.

Dancing With The Stars: Week One Launch Party

HUFFINGTON POST DWTS RECAP

DWTS DOODLES

I've just looked up some videos. He was tough! But she was good, maybe as a result.

I don't know if you watched SCD series 5 but I think Aiden could be a Gethin Jones type. Gethin also started of with a dismal Cha Cha but turned out to be a delight in the ballroom and even improved a lot in the Latin.

Yes Gethin did do a poor cha cha but he had Camilla who is a great dancer and wonderful choreographer whereas Aiden has Edyta who is very gimmicky in her choreography.

The glimmer of hope is that Edyta did a good job with Jason Taylor and got him into the finals. A spectacular foxtrot, quickstep and tango. He struggled with Latin. I am hoping that Len's criticism will put a bug in her butt cheeks to not do that. How many times does he have to say he doesn't like gimmicks??? I don't get those pros that won't listen.

Aiden twittered this. Made me smile.

Hard at work with my Partner in Dance Edyta Sliwinska. Really trying to make this one perfect. Thanks for all your support Aiden & Edyta
