Dancing with the Stars: Round One: Meet the Cast

1301A - Results Show – Week 1 It’s time for the first dancer of the season to step away from the dance floor. But you know how this all works. First, we need to go through a bunch of other fun stuff before the big announcement at the end of the hour. So…let’s go! The pros and dance troupe kick off the night with an energetic dance number choreographed by Lacey Schwimmer. Then Ricki and Derek learn they are safe right away. Elisabetta seems shocked upon learning that she and Val will also be returning next week. Then Rob and Cheryl are told they’re in jeopardy.  Special guest Harry Connick, Jr. performs “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever” from his new Broadway show for a clearly impressed studio audience. Then it’s time to learn more about the fate of three other couples. Hope and Maks and Kristen and Mark learn they are safe, but Ron (aka Metta World Peace) and Peta are in jeopardy.  We meet a few new members of the dance troupe before they do their totally rockin’ performance. A short time later, we learn that Chynna and Tony, J.R. and Karina, Chaz and Lacey, David and Kym and Carson and Anna are safe. That leaves Nancy and Tristan in jeopardy.  We go on to learn that Rob and Cheryl are safe, as are Nancy and Tristan. That means Metta World Peace is headed out the door. He graciously thanks his partner, Peta, before they have one last dance center stage.  Next week, the remaining 11 couples will be tasked with dancing the Jive or the Quickstep. Can’t wait to see who steps up their game!
