[Reality-TV-Fanatics] Dancing With the Stars Premiere Recap 09/14/20: Season 29 Episode 1 “Premiere 2020”

 

Dont like the canned cheers and claps there is no audience 

 There is some concerns out in internet land that --Carole Baskin really shouldn't be there. I guess because they are sure she had soemthing to do with the disappearance of hex. I didn't see it but then again I don't pay much attention to commercials but guess his family aired a commercial during her dance? 

 AS FOR MY CHOICE THIS YEAR Always liked Johnny Weir as a dancer might be him or Kaitlyn. But I will see after next week  .

Judges Comments: Derek: "Great start to the show. I want a little more jive action, a little more pump-action, and bounce. With that said, I really liked it and you looked comfortable out there." Bruno: "Power and strong, we expect that from you because you are a performer. Now, you have to polish a little bit the kicks and the flicks. You have all the talent to go a long way." Carrie Ann: "That is exactly the way we have to start off this season, with a bang and a jump. There is nobody in here so you have to be the energy. With that being said, you could dance a little more out. Great start."

Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 6 Derek: 6 Bruno: 6 = 18/30

Actress Chrishell Stause ("Selling Sunset") began her career in 2005 on All My Children. She is being paired with pro-dancer Savchenko and they are dancing the Tango to "Raise Your Glass" by Pink.

Judges Comments: Bruno: "My darling I know you can sell and you managed to get the Tango into escrow. But, we are a long way before we are closing my darling. You gave us all the selling points, but you went wrong, you lost your footing, your posture went wobbly. I wish you could do it again because so much went wrong." Carrie Ann: "I feel like you have so much potential, you got knocked off your feet early on and you didn't get back on. I am excited to see what you bring next week." Derek: "I want to give you something to work this season, you are a little pigeon-toed, start from the bottom, it will straighten your core. Great job."

Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 4, Derek 5, Bruno 4 = 13/30

Judges Comments: Carrie Ann: "That was really impressive, you have quite a stage presence. You are able to mix tenderness and elegance with masterful control. You have a little more to learn, and just to let you know, we don't allow lifts." Derek: "You were so smooth, it was like gliding across the floor, your frame was good. I would say watch out for your arm." Bruno: "You definitely got this dance to the sizzling point. It wasn't all perfect, but you attempted to do rise and fall, congratulations on that."

Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 5, Derek: 6, Bruno: 6 = 17/30

I would just say for the future, finish every single move before you move on to the next because it could look a little jerky sometimes. Great first dance." Bruno: "I loved it, great performance. Put a little more hip action into it, it was so crisp and so clean that sometimes the hips got a little bit mechanical." Carrie Ann: "You are incredible, I loved your strength and it was so precise. I was so impressed with the tension between you two. What an excellent partnership. You are a star in this ballroom."

Judges Comments: Carrie Ann: 6, Derek: 6, Bruno: 6 = 18/30

You have to place your feet a little better, you lost balance for a fraction. Fantastic performance." Carrie Ann: "Fantastic, that was amazing, you lit this room up. Sometimes your energy with your arms is really high and kind of small, even that out. If this is where you are starting, you are on a fantastic path."

You have to be careful on the underarm turns not to raise your shoulders up. Very difficult dancer for the first time, well done." Carrie Ann: "It is a tough dance, but I was impressed.
