>> Alfonso: WHAT A WAY TO KICK
OFF THE SEASON.
JOEY AND JENNA WITH A COUNTRY
CHA-CHA.
WOW!
THAT'S HOW YOU GET THIS BAD BOY
STARTED!
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S HEAR WHAT THE JUDGES HAVE
TO SAY.
DEREK, TAKE IT AWAY!
>> WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF THE
SHOW.
IF AMERICA DIDN'T ALREADY LOVE
YOU, THEY'LL LOVE YOU EVEN MORE
AFTER THAT DANCE.
THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
YOU WENT FROM HANDING OUT ROSES
TO HANDING OUT SWEET DANCE MOVES
ON THAT DANCE FLOOR.
FINESSE THE FEET A LITTLE BIT,
WORK ON THE ARMS.
BUT A WEEK ONE DANCE, JOEY, THAT
WAS FANTASTIC!
WELL DONE.
>> BRUNO!
>> JOEY, THE CHA CHA MAMA.
I THINK YOU CHARMED ALL OF US
WITH THIS.
>> I HOPE.
>> OH, YEAH.
THE TORSO HELPS, BY THE WAY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
YOU'RE TRYING TO GET EXTRA
VOTES.
>> THAT'S THE GOAL.
>> LISTEN, I KNOW WHAT HE'S
DOING, DON'T WORRY.
BUT ACTUALLY, YOU DON'T NEED IT,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TIMING,
MUSICALITY, YOU'RE A NATURAL
PERFORMER, YOU HAVE TO WORK ON
YOUR HIP ACTION.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.
IT COMES FROM THE FOOT.
SHOW ME THOSE HIPS.
WRONG -- NO, NO, NO.
NOT -- THOSE ARE NOT CHA-CHA
HIPS.
>> WAIT A SECOND.
ON BEHALF OF FEMALE JUDGES
EVERYWHERE AND ALL THE FEMALES
IN THE HOUSE, THAT NUMBER
STARTED OFF WITH A BOOTY, SO IT
MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HIPS, BUT IT
WAS A GREAT WAY TO START.
IT SHOWS CONFIDENCE.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, BESIDES
ALL OF THE CHARISMA AND
SHOWMANSHIP, WHICH IS ALL THERE,
AND SOME DETAILS THAT NEED TO BE
FINESSED, WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS
THE PARTNERSHIP.
THERE'S A REALLY GOOD CHARISMA
AND ENERGY GOING BETWEEN YOU
TWO.
WELL DONE.
>> HEAD ON UP TO JULIANNE FOR
YOUR SCORES.
GREAT JOB, GUYS!
TO GIVE ALL OF OUR STARS A
CHANCE TO GET THEIR FOOTING,
THERE'S NO ELIMINATION TONIGHT.
HOWEVER, YOUR VOTES AND THE
JUDGES' SCORES FROM TONIGHT WILL
CARRY OVER TO NEXT WEEK'S FIRST
ELIMINATION OF THE SEASON.
THIS WEEK, THEY GET OFF EASY.
NEXT WEEK, WE DON'T MESS AROUND.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
JULIANNE, TAKE IT AWAY.
>> Julianne: NO MESSING AROUND
HERE, ALFONSO.
IT IS TOUGH LOVE.
BUT NOT THAT TOUGH FOR YOU!
WELL DONE OUT THERE!
YOU WERE THE FIRST COUPLE OUT
THERE.
HOW DOES IT FEEL?
>> CRAZY.
AS YOU CAN TELL, I DON'T THINK
I'M BREATHING YET, BUT GOOD TO
GET IT GOING, IT WAS A FUN TWO
WEEKS.
>> WE'VE GOT SUPER BOWL
CHAMPIONS, OLYMPIAN ATHLETES,
ALSO ALL-STARS, BUT AS YOU SAID
IN YOUR PACKAGE, YOU'RE A TENNIS
COACH, SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
HOLD YOUR OWN OUT THERE?
>> I'M NOT TAKING THE ATHLETE
TITLE WITH THESE GUYS HERE.
I THINK THE COACHING HELPS.
HOPEFULLY I'M A DECENT STUDENT.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M HOLDING ON
TO.

LET'S GET YOUR SCORES.

ALFONSO.
>> Alfonso: THANKS, JULIANNE.
WE'VE GOT A GALAXY OF STARS ON
THE WAY, FROM OLYMPIANS STEPHEN
NEDOROSCIK AND
>> Alfonso: WE'RE BACK WITH OUR
SEASON PREMIERE.
IN MAY, OUR NEXT STAR WAS NAMED
A "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED" SWIMSUIT
LEGEND, AND LAST YEAR, SHE WAS
FEATURED ON THE MAGAZINE'S 60th
ANNIVERSARY COVER.
IT'S BROOKS NADER AND
GLEB SAVCHENKO.
>> I AM HERE BECAUSE ME AND
DANCE HAVE SOME UNFINISHED
BUSINESS.
I AM A SUPERMODEL, BUT I HAVE A
BONE TO PICK WITH DANCING.
I DUMPED HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE
AND I'VE GOT TO TAKE BACK THAT
EX AND LIKE RUN THEIR LIFE.
HELLO!
>> HI!
>> HI.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> HE'S SO HOT.
I'M SO PUMPED.
WE'RE GOING TO CRUSH IT.
THIS IS A HEALTHY LITTLE
FLIRTATIOUS VIBE THAT WILL NOT
DISTRACT US TOO MUCH.
>> ANY DANCE EXPERIENCE?
>> I WAS ON THE HIGH SCHOOL
DANCE TEAM.
STOPPED DANCING WHEN I STARTED
MODELING, THIS WAS A TOTAL SIGN
FROM THE UNIVERSE.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT GETS
YOU REALLY EXCITED?
>> I THINK MUSIC GETS ME PUMPED
UP.
MY ANTHEM IS "PIECE OF ME" BY
BRITNEY SPEARS.
>> I THINK WE CAN DO A REALLY
HOT TANGO TO IT.
ONE, TWO.
>> BRITNEY SPEARS IS A LOUISIANA
GIRL LIKE ME.
I AM NEWLY SINGLE, SO THE LYRICS
ARE SUPER LIBERATING.
>> TANGO HAS A LOT OF TECHNIQUE.
IT'S NOT I AM SEXY AND I KNOW
IT.
>> DANCING AGAIN FEELS
INCREDIBLE.
HOPEFULLY I CAN GIVE THE
AUDIENCE A PIECE OF ME THEY'LL
NEVER FORGET.
>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> Alfonso: BROOKS AND GLEB WITH
A TANGO TO BRITNEY SPEARS.
OH, THAT WAS HOT!
STANDING O. IN THE ROOM.
THEY'RE STANDING FOR YOU,
BROOKS.
THEY'RE STANDING FOR YOU!
ALL RIGHT, BRUNO, TAKE IT AWAY!
>> BROOKS, YOU'VE GOT THE LOOKS
AND YOU HAVE THE INSTRUMENTS.
AND WHEN YOU USE IT RIGHT, IT'S
GREAT.
NOW, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MUCH
POTENTIAL, YOU HAVE TO WORK --
NOW, ON YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR
CORE.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES, YOU GO A
LITTLE BIT WOBBLY.
YOU HIT A WONDERFUL LINE, AND
THEN IT KIND OF COLLAPSES A
LITTLE BIT.
AND YOU WENT ON THE WRONG FOOT
IN THE SECTION THERE.
WE SEE THAT.
BUT I'M TELLING YOU, I LOVE THAT
TANGO.
YOU DID VERY, VERY WELL.
WORK ON WHAT I SAID.
THAT'S IT.
>> Alfonso: ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
CARRIE ANN.
>> OKAY, SHE'S IN 33 IS KIND OF
HOT.
THAT WAS HOT!
BUT WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS YOU DO
HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
WORKS ON THE POINTS OF CONTACT
AND THE HOLD, BECAUSE THAT WAY
YOU WON'T STEP ON HIM.
THAT'S WHAT I SAW WAS THE MOST
TROUBLING FOR YOU, NOT KNOWING
WHERE YOUR FEET GO.
BUT IF YOU'RE IN A GREAT HOLD,
THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
KEEP TRUSTING YOUR PARTNER AND
KEEP THE HOTNESS ALIVE.
>> Alfonso: DEREK?
>> THE GREAT NEWS IS TONIGHT IS
NIGHT ONE.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR POTENTIAL AND
YOU HAVE BUCKETS OF POTENTIAL.
YOU REALLY, REALLY DO.
YOU DO.
HOWEVER, THE TANGO -- THE TANGO
IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOW IN THE
LEGS, AND IT GETS A LITTLE
UPRIGHT, WHICH MEANS YOU GET
AHEAD OF THE MUSIC, WHICH MEANS
YOU'RE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO SLOW
DOWN.
SO IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, GET A
LITTLE BIT MORE GROUNDED IN THE
FLOOR, INTO THE SPACE WHERE YOU
FEEL A LITTLE BIT BALANCED, BUT
IT'S A GREAT FIRST DANCE.
WELL DONE.
>> Alfonso: HEAD ON UP TO
JULIANNE FOR YOUR SCORES.
GREAT JOB.
NEXT WEEK, WE'LL BE CELEBRATING
THE GOLDEN GLAMOROUS OF
HOLLYWOOD, THE MOST IMPORTANT
EVENT OF THE YEAR.
IT'S AN OSCARS NIGHT
SPECTACULAR, FEATURING AWARD
WINNING SONGS FROM THE MOVIES.
JULIANNE, YOU'RE ALWAYS RED
CARPET READY.
>> Julianne: YOU KNOW I AM.
YOU ALWAYS LOOK PRETTY SHARP,
TOO, ALFONSO.
HONESTLY, BROOKS, YOU ARE ONE OF
THE MOST GORGEOUS HUMANS ON THE
PLANET, BUT YOU TWO TOGETHER ARE
LIKE A WORK OF ART.
IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
WHAT IS YOUR CHEMISTRY LIKE?
>> WHAT IS THE CHEMISTRY LIKE?
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN, AND
IT'S OBVIOUSLY ALL ABOUT
DANCING.
RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
I MEAN.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO.
>> YEAH.
>> Julianne: Y'ALL ARE FREAKING
CUTE.
ALL RIGHT, SO, YOU OBVIOUSLY
HAVEN'T DANCED, LIKE BEING OUT
THERE ON LIVE TELEVISION IN
FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE?
AND YOUR FAMILY IS OUT THERE.
>> OH, YEAH, THEY'RE OUT HERE.
>> AND DOING BALLROOM.
>> IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
HE'S THE BEST TEACHER EVER.
BE LESS A.D.D. AND LET YOU LEAD
THE WAY THE NEXT TIME.
>> AMAZING.
LET'S GET TO YOUR SCORES.
>> CARRIE ANN INABO.
>> 6.
>> DEREK HOUGH?
>> PROMISING 6!
>> BRUNNO TONIOLI.
>> 6.
>> THAT'S AN 18 OUT OF 30 FOR
BROOKS AND GLEB.
YOU AT HOME ARE AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THE SHOW, SO GRAB THOSE
DEVICES AND VOTE.
YOU GET TEN VOTES PER COUPLE PER
VOTING METHOD.
ALFONSO.
>> Alfonso: THANKS JULIANNE.
WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE STARS WHO
ARE GOING TO WANT THOSE VOTES.
UP NEXT, THE FIRST OF OUR
ATHLETES FROM THE PARIS OLYMPIC
GAMES, WHO IS ALSO THE
FIRST-EVER RUGBY PLAYER TO DANCE

HILARIOUS MOMENTS FROM THE PARIS
OLYMPIC GAMES ON HER JOURNEY TO
A MEDAL.
>> Julianne: IT'S OLYMPIC RUGBY
PLAYER ILONA MAHER AND
ALAN BERSTEN.
>> I'M USED TO RUNNING AS HARD
AS I CAN AND STIFF ARMING
SOMEBODY IN THE FACE.
WHILE THAT DID HELP ME GET MY
OLYMPIC MEDAL, I DON'T USUALLY
LET MY SAVAGE COMPETITION SIDE
COME OUT, BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A
CHAINED BEAR INSIDE OF ME.
BUT I FEEL A FEELING "DANCING
WITH THE STARS" MIGHT UNLEASH
THAT.
>> LET'S FREAKING GO!
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!
>> HEY!
>> I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HAVING
COACHES THAT ARE TOUGH ON ME.
AND HE SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT
PERSON TO DO THAT.
>> WHY DID YOU WANT TO DO THE
SHOW?
>> WELL, I'M THIS VERY BIG,
MUSCULAR WOMAN, BUT I ALSO FEEL
SO BEAUTIFUL AND FEMININE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I GREW UP NOT
VERY COMFORTABLE, SO I WANT TO
NOW MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOUNG
GIRLS TO LOVE YOUR BODY.

AS HER ANTHEM.
OH, I SAID IT TO YOU EARLIER
TODAY, YOU JUST MAKE ME SMILE!
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> CARRIE ANN?
>> I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU
ARE ABOUT.
AND THE WAY YOU STEPPED ON THAT
DANCE FLOOR, I KNOW YOU WERE
NERVOUS.
I KNOW YOU WERE NERVOUS.
THAT FIRST MOVE, YOU KIND OF
JUMPED THE GUN A LITTLE BIT, BUT
JUST LIKE RUGBY, YOU KIND OF
JUST GO WITH IT, RIGHT?
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE.
REMEMBER, MUSCLES MAKE YOU MOVE
AND DANCE IS ALL ABOUT MOVEMENT
AND YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
YOU'RE ON DAY ONE.
WELL DONE FOR DAY ONE!
KEEP IT GOING!
>> Alfonso: DEREK?
>> FIRST OF ALL, ILONA, I LOVE
SEEING YOU IN THIS ARENA.
IT SUITS YOU WELL, MY LOVE.
IT REALLY DOES.
FOR ME, KNOWING YOU SORT OF
OUTSIDE, YOU'RE SO CHARISMATIC,
YOU'RE FUNNY, YOU HAVE SO MUCH
ENERGY, I WANTED TO SEE THAT A
LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE DANCE.
I COULD FEEL THE NERVES A LITTLE
BIT, THE TIMIDNESS, BUT YOU COME
FROM A SPORT THAT'S ALL ABOUT
IMPACT, RIGHT?
YOU CAN HAVE IMPACT IN DANCE AS
WELL.
GO OUT THERE WITH THE
CONFIDENCE, WITH ALL THE
CONFIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE, AND WE
WANT TO SEE THAT ON THE DANCE
FLOOR.
BUT REALLY FOR A FIRST DANCE,
GREAT JOB.
>> Alfonso: BRUNO?
>> YES, MY DARLING, THEY'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
AS A CHA-CHA-CHA, IT WAS VERY
CORRECT.
BUT I'M TELLING YOU, GO MORE
THAN THAT.
YOU'RE GREAT, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,
LET IT ALL HANG OUT AND SHOW
THEM.
DON'T FEEL AFRAID!
NEVER BE AFRAID!
>> Alfonso: ALL RIGHT, HEAD ON
UP TO JULIANNE FOR YOUR SCORES.
GREAT JOB, GREAT JOB.
GETTING READY FOR THEIR FIRST
DANCES ARE THE TV DAD FROM
"FAMILY MATTERS" AND A TWO-TIME
SUPER BOWL CHAMPION.
REGINALD VelJOHNSON AND
DANNY AMENDOLA WILL SOON BE
MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE FLOOR.
JULIANNE.
>> Julianne: THANKS, ALFONSO.
HELLO YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
>> I DID WHAT I COULD!
>> Julianne: ALL RIGHT, ILONA,
YOU ARE SUCH A ROLE MODEL.
YOU HAVE SHOWN WOMEN EVERYWHERE
NOT JUST TO LOVE THEIR BODIES,
BUT THEMSELVES.
HOW DID YOU HARNESS -- YES,
EXACTLY!
HOW DID YOU HARNESS THAT
CONFIDENCE WITHIN YOURSELF?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAME FROM
MYSELF -- I THINK IT CAME FROM
MY TEAMMATES, THE FRIENDS AND
FAMILY AROUND ME.
I THINK BEING AROUND STRONG
WOMEN AND CONFIDENT WOMEN, IT
TRICKLES DOWN INTO YOU.
SO I'M RUNNING A PYRAMID SCHEME,
THAT MY TEAMMATES ARE GIVING ME
CONFIDENCE, I WANT TO GIVE OTHER
PEOPLE CONFIDENCE, AND HOPEFULLY
THEY CAN GIVE OTHER PEOPLE
CONFIDENCE.
>> Julianne: I THINK THAT'S THE
BEST SCHEME I'VE EVER HEARD,
JUST SAYING.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, ALSO, YOU KNOW,
BEING ON THE RUGBY FIELD, IT'S
ALL ABOUT POWER, AND THEN
DANCING, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT
MORE OF A SOFTER SIDE TO IT.
HOW ARE YOU FINDING THAT
TRANSITION?
>> IT'S VERY HARD.
HE'LL A LOT OF TIMES TELL ME,
PLEASE DON'T BREAK MY ARM, SO
I'M GETTING BETTER AT BEING
SOFTER.
>> I SAY PLEASE.
>> HE SAYS PLEASE.
>> Julianne: ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LET'S PLEASE GET YOUR
SCORES.

I KNOW WHAT I SEE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I SEE?
I SEE POWER, FOCUS,
DETERMINATION.
YOU WANT TO SUCCEED, YOU LED

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE HARDEST
CHALLENGE I THINK I'VE EVER HAD
ON THE SHOW.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THE SHOW?

THEY'RE ALWAYS TELLING ME, YOU
SHOULD DO "DANCING WITH THE
STARS".
>> THAT'S AMAZING.
>> I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY FOR YEARS, AND IT'S
FINALLY HERE.

>> Alfonso: DWIGHT AND DANIELLA,
THAT'S HOW THEY DO A SALSA.
HE'S GOT EVERYBODY ON THEIR
FEET!
YEAH, FROM NOW ON, THAT'S HOW
YOU SALSA!
THAT'S HOW YOU SALSA!
MY MAN!
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN, CARRIE ANN,
TALK TO THE ADULT IN THE ROOM.
>> NOW, THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!
OKAY.
I MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN A LITTLE
EARLY ABOUT CHANDLER.
CHANDLER, THAT WAS AMAZING, BUT
ALSO, THIS WAS -- I MEAN, WHAT?!
WHAT?!
I WOULD SAY, WHAT?!
IT'S MORE THAN JUST LIFTS, IT'S
THE GROOVE, IT'S THE HOW YOU SET
THIS HOUSE ON FIRE!
THAT IS WHAT I WANT!
YES!
>> Alfonso: DEREK?
>> HE'S DOING IT RIGHT, SHE'S
TAKING FLIGHT.
IT'S LIKE WATCHING A GIRAFFE AND
A GAZELLE DANCE TOGETHER.
BUT HONESTLY, THE HEIGHT
DIFFERENCE IS BIG, BUT SO IS THE
PERFORMANCE.
IT REALLY IS.
THE PERFORMANCE IS SO BIG.
THE CHARISMA, THE CHEMISTRY IS
SO FANTASTIC.
THAT IS -- DUDE, YOUR ENERGY,
YOUR SMILE LIGHTS UP THIS ROOM
LIKE NOBODY.
UNBELIEVABLE!
>> THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A TRULY
SPARKLING DEBUT.
BECAUSE, YOU HAVE THE EASE OF
MOVEMENT, OFF GREAT QUALITY
WITHIN YOURSELF, BUT YOU HAVE A
NATURAL CONNECTION, AND YOU GOT
THE MEMO, THAT IS BIGGER THAN
MINE.
MUCH BIGGER.
>> BIGGER'S BETTER.
>> YEAH, OF COURSE, BIGGER IS
BETTER!
>> Alfonso: HEAD UP ON FOR YOUR
SCORES, Y'ALL.
AND AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY TO
THE SKY BOX, LET'S SEE HOW THEIR
COMPETITION STACKS UP.
CURRENTLY AT THE TOP OF THE
JUDGE'S LEADERBOARD ARE CHANDLER
AND BRANDON WITH 23, AND AT THE
BOTTOM WITH REGINALD AND EMMA
WITH 16.
LET'S FIND OUT WHERE DWIGHT AND
DANIELLA LAND.
JULIANNE?
>> Julianne: THANKS, ALFONSO.
OH, MY GOSH, I WANT TO BE THROWN
AROUND LIKE THAT, DEFINITELY.
BUT I WANT TO KNOW, WHAT IS THE
REAL REASON THAT YOU DID
"DANCING WITH THE STARS"?
>> OH, LORD!
I TELL YOU, REALLY, FOR MY SON.
HE'S HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, TRAY
HOWARD.
I ALWAYS TELL HIM, HE CAN DO ALL
THINGS THROUGH CHRIST, SO MY
SON, YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING YOU
PUT YOUR MIND TO.
>> Julianne: IF THIS IS HOW YOU
DO IT NOW, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE
REST OF THE SEASON.
BUT LET'S GET YOUR SCORES FIRST.
>> Alfonso: CARRIE ANN INABA?
>> 8.
>> Alfonso: DEREK HOUGH?
>> 7.
>> Alfonso: BRUNO TONIOLI?
>> 7!
>> ALL RIGHT, THAT IS 22 OUT OF
30 FOR DWIGHT AND DANIELLE,
WHICH IS PUTTING YOU BOTH INTO
SECOND PLACE ON THE LEADERBOARD.
YOU CAN'T ASSUME ANY OF OUR
STARS ARE SAFE FROM OUR FIRST
ELIMINATION OF THE SEASON NEXT
WEEK.
THEY ALL NEED YOUR VOTES.
ALFONSO?
>> THANKS, JULIANNE.
STILL AHEAD, PHAEDRA PARKS,
STEPHEN NEDOROSCIK, AND ANNA
DELVEY.
AND NEXT, ERIC ROBERTS IS CAST
AS A DANCER FOR A CHA-CHA WITH
BRITT STEWART, LIVE.
♪♪
>> Alfonso: WELCOME BACK.
DURING OUR NEXT STAR'S
FIVE-DECADE CAREER, HE HAS
APPEARED IN -- GET THIS -- MORE
THAN 700 FILMS AND TV SHOWS.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVEN
WATCHED 700 FILMS AND TV SHOWS.
>> Julianne: OH, MY GOODNESS,
THAT IS A LOT OF BINGING.
WELL, GET OUT THE POPCORN,
BECAUSE IT'S ACADEMY AWARD
NOMINEE ERIC ROBERTS AND BRITT
STEWART.
>> WELL, I'M FINALLY HERE.
I'VE BEEN MAKING MOVIES FOR 45
YEARS.
BUT I WAS ASKED TO DO "DANCING
WITH THE STARS" 19 YEARS AGO.
ONE DAY I'M FILMING A MOVIE,
OVERLAPPED, AND I WAS DEVASTATED
BY THAT BECAUSE I AM SUCH A HUGE
FAN OF THE SHOW.
AND I'M READY TO MAKE UP FOR
LOST TIME.
WHOA!
>> HELLO!
>> OH, MY GOODNESS.
>> I'M BRITT.
>> I'M SO GLAD IT'S YOU.
>> BEFORE WE REALLY GET INTO
DANCE MOVES, ANYTHING THAT I
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
>> I HAD AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE COMA, MY
RIGHT SIDE WAS A QUARTER BEAT
BEHIND.
>> A QUARTER BEAT?
>> A QUARTER BEAT.
>> NOT A HUGE DEAL.
>> I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED,
BECAUSE CHA-CHA IS ONE OF THE
QUICKEST DANCES.
CHA-CHA.
SO KEEPING IN TIME WITH EACH
OTHER IS GOING TO BE MORE OF A
CHALLENGE FOR ERIC THAN IT
USUALLY IS.
>> THAT WAS SUPER CLOSE.
>> CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR.
>> I'VE BEEN WAITING 19 YEARS
FOR THIS MOMENT, AND I'M NOT
GOING TO MESS IT UP, HOPEFULLY.

ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT, ERIC.
IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD.
DEREK?
>> ERIC, LISTEN, I KNOW IT TOOK
US 20 YEARS TO GET YOU, BUT IT'S
A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU HERE,
SIR.
TO HAVE AN ACTING LEGEND HERE TO
GRACE OUR FLOOR, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
TRULY.
FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE THAT SONG.
MY DAD AND I LOVE THAT SONG, SO
I WAS FEELING ALL NOSTALGIC.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE
ASSEMBLING IKEA FURNITURE, SOME
PIECES FIT REALLY NICE, AND SOME
WAS A BIT OF A PUZZLE.
BUT OVERALL, YOU BRING YOUR
SPIRIT, BRING THE SMILE, AND WE
LOVE TO HAVE YOU HERE, THANK
YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> WE ALL LOVE A BIT OF N ROLL,
DON'T WE!
WE NEED MORE OF IT.
AND YOU WERE GOING FOR STORY
TELLING.
YOU WERE TALKING IT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH, WHICH IS VERY GOOD,
VERY HELPFUL.
ON THE CHA-CHA-CHA, YOUR WEIGHT
WAS ALWAYS ON THE BACK, ALWAYS
ON THE HEEL OF THE FOOT.
BY DOING SO, IT STOPS YOU DOING
THE CORRECT ACTION.
SO GOING FORWARD, YOU KNOW,
REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT SHE HAS.
IF YOUR FOOT IS NOT PLACED
CORRECTLY, THE WHOLE THING FALLS
APART.
BUT VERY, VERY GOOD TRY.
>> Alfonso: CARRIE ANN?
>> YOU KNOW I HAVE THE UTMOST
RESPECT FOR YOU.
YOU ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST STARS
WE'VE EVER HAD ON THIS SHOW, TO
GRACE THIS BALLROOM.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
IT IS LIKE AN HONOR.
BUT YOU -- I WANT TO SAY, THAT
ROUTINE WAS SIMPLE AND HONT
BASIC SIDE, RIGHT, WHICH IS
ALWAYS FINE.
BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE ALSO A LOT
OF MISTAKES, IN JUST THE BASIC,
I JUST WANT TO WARN YOU, MY
SCORE MIGHT NOT BE SO GREAT.
BUT WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS YOU
ARE A STAR AND IT SHOWED THE
WHOLE TIME, THE WAY YOU CARRIED
YOURSELF THROUGH, THE MISTAKES,
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END.
>> Alfonso: HEAD ON UP TO
JULIANNE, AND WE'LL CHECK OUT
OUR ALL-NEW TROUPE.
YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THEM IN A
FEW TIMES TONIGHT.
AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
SEEING THEIR AMAZING TALENTS ALL

WE'LL BE SEEING A LOT MORE OF
THEM THIS SEASON.
ALL RIGHT, ERIC AND BRITT, WELL
DONE.
YOU FINALLY MADE IT INTO THE
BALLROOM AFTER 19 YEARS.
HOW DID IT FEEL?
>> PETRIFYING.
>> Julianne: YOU'VE GOT YOUR
BIGGEST SUPPORT HERE, YOUR WIFE.

>> Julianne: I BELIEVE IT,
BECAUSE I SAW IT JUST NOW NOW,
YOU DID A SHOW "TRADERS," WITH
VAL'S BROTHER, MAX.

THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME
TECHNIQUE, YOU RUSHED THE
BEGINNING, THE ADRENALINE WAS
GOING.
SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN.
BUT LISTEN, THIS COUPLE, WHOO!
