Last night, Dancing with the Stars debuted its 17th season with an actually stellar cast that not only brings talent and fun, but some inspirational drama to the ballroom dance floor competition, and from the looks of the opener, this looks to be quite the competitive season on the ABC series.
Soap stars did exceptionally well! So let’s start with One Life to Live’s and High School Musical favorite, Corbin Bleu! Corbin was trending all afternoon yesterday on Twitter with #teamcorbin, and expectations were high for him in the competition and he did not disappoint! What was disappointing for soap fans is that DWTS did not mention Corbin’s association with OLTL, but given the fact that ABC is in a lawsuit with Prospect Park over OLTL, you can sort of buy the rationale.
Corbin performed with Karina Smirnoff a contemporary style dance routine, which was first for Karina after 15 seasons on the show. The judges scored them a very respectable 24!

Pretty Little Liars, and Days of our Lives guest star, Brant Daugherty and his partner Peta Murgatroyd were actually the first couple to dance, and the self-proclaimed “single threat” shows the potential to be “double threat” after he earned a 22 from the judges showing some sexy moves in their Cha Cha and the ability to be quite a threat moving forward in the competition.
However, Glee’s Amber Riley really wowed the ballroom audience with her moves, dancing with last season’s champ, Derek Hough! Amber who said she wanted to show girls at home that you can be a girl with some size on her and still go out and show the world you can dance had the highest total of the night with 27.
And how about former Saved by the Bell and Showgirls star, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren? She had Val Chemerkovskiy (GH’s Kelly Monaco’s former partner) as her dance partner and they earned a 24 with a stylish Contemporary Dance.
Elsewhere, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi showed she can bust-a-move in a solid routine with Sasha Farber scoring a 23! This duo is the shortest in stature duo ever on the show! But it was Valerie Harper, who is dancing at age 73 after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and Jack Osbourne, who is ballroom dancing for the first time who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, that really showed the inspirational spirit and power of the new season! What about the cutaway to Jack’s mom, Sharon Osbourne in tears after watching her son’s dance performance? Very touching! Harper scored a 21 with her foxtrot, and Osbourne scored a 23 with his foxtrot!
So out of the gate, what performance do you think was the best on last night’s Dancing with the Stars? Check out Corbin, Brant and Amber’s performance below! Then, who do you think should be the first to go? Our pick to get the axe, Keyshawn Johnson!

to bad Corbin did not mention OLTL……..non of us should forget where we came from….regardless of law suites his OLTL stint was most recent therefore it should have been mentioned.
Brant, Corbin, Elizabeth, Amber were my favorites so far….
This is dwts best year…Snooki is boring,hope she leaves first, then itll be even better…im sick of overrated reality stars.
Corbin said people may know him from HS Musical and made no mention of OLTL…..wonder if ABC put a gag order on him so as not to draw attention to the legal drama. Was sad he didn’t mention OLTL and for that he does not get my vote…..even though he was the best dancer.
I’m sure he is not allowed to discuss OLTL on an ABC show,and even if he had during those pretaped interviews,it would have been edited out.
neither Corbin, or Brant…. mentioned Serials
sigh! it’s a career.
they were both quite good…..
I was pleasantly surprised… across the board…. the only one who seemed out of his element… was the football player. and Bill the science guy….
Amber, by far… is darned good.
Snooki, Nicole… was… damn… she’s got some natural that surprised me.
Jack… like his partner said… is light on his feet and with charm.
I wish the layout was the same as last year… when the “stars” were upstairs…. instead of mingling with the ‘audience’
I did not watch High School Musical so I will also associate Corbin with One Life to Live as that is when he became relavent to me!
Unbelievable dancing! This is gonna be a great season. I was so happy for them.
Nothing against this guy. Have no idea who he actually is, But I have decided to not watch this show anymore. Its so fixed its unbelievable. No more for me someone who watched all the years it was on and Voted. .I’ll pass.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: What Did You Think of the Life-Sized Duke and Ava Scene?
Okurrrr! On Tuesday’s episode of Days of our Lives, the long-running NBC soap opera served up a scene in which Ava (Tamara Braun) wakes up in bed and sees a life-sized Duke doll come to life in the doorway.
If you recall, Ava ripped the small-sized stuffed-animal, Duke to shreds, previously, with a scissor in a fit of rage as she appears to be losing her grip!

In this scene, Duke returns with pair of scissors in his hand and says he’s there for payback. Ava screams out. Next, she grabs a nail file to defend herself and tries to run, but Duke grabs her.
What does Ava do next? She bites Duke. He tells her that she’ll pay for that. Next, we see a startled Ava in bed as Rafe (Galen Gering) appears at the doorway with coffee… and wait for it … a bear claw!
As Rafe informs Ava of the accusations against him at work, she asks if he thinks she is engineering this, considering he accused her of dismembering Duke? Rafe says he believes she is not responsible for any of this. Oh, Rafe!
So, what did you think of the scene when you watched it between larger-than-life stuffed-animal-come-to-life Duke and Ava? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
