Dancing with the Stars 18 - Recap and Live Blog - Season Premiere - 03/17/2014
Dancing with the Stars recap and live blog for the Season 18 premiere!
It's the first performance show of the season so there is no eliminations yet. So many changes this season.
A new live band and singers led by Ray Chew. And a new co-host Erin Andrews.
There is also a new twist during the season: partner change voted by the viewers.
Opening Number
Jason Derulo and the pros! Choreographed by Mandy Moore.
Recap
(Updates throughout the night, please be patient, I am multi-tasking!)
Here are the scores and dance videos. I will post individual posts with my commentary after the show! Thanks for your patience!
OK one comment: Billy Dee Williams is so old! I'm rooting for him. These judges are crap.
Also: Erin Andrews and her sports commentary style of hosting on DWTS is LOL.
