Dancing with the Stars Review: Week One

The 10th season of Dancing with the Stars is underway, and somewhat surprisingly boasts one of its most star-studded casts yet (at least by the reality show's standards).
It's hard to believe the show has been on five years, but like ABC's The Bachelor, it's not only hanging on, but seemingly acquiring more buzz with each passing campaign.
All 11 couples looked nervous and had some week one jitters they had to get out of the way, but most accomplished that fairly well early on. Those we expected big things from generally came through, and those we expected 4s and 5s from put them up, too.
No one is going home this week, but the scores will carry over until the following night. We get to see all the contestants perform one Latin and one Ballroom performance before anyone gets eliminated. This week: either the Cha-Cha or the Viennese Waltz.
Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough led the pack last night.
This was also the first episode for Brooke Burke as Tom Bergeron's co-host. Brooke did a decent job replacing Samantha Harris, but it's the dancing we're there to watch, of course.
See who shined and who was a DWTS letdown after the jump ...
