    "Perfect"
    By JPPT1974, Mar 29, 2008
    It seems like another great season of the show has or will be here. As it has interestingly, a deaf contestant in Marlee Matlin who despite not hearing the music, can see the beat as she dances to it. And that it will be a risk worth taking but she seems very up to it. The judges like Bruno and Carrie are back. The reason Mario wants to be in the competition was to dance with one of the professional dancers. Glad to see also Kristi Yamaguchi and Jason Taylor among the contestants. As this should be one heck of a season!moreless

  • Fantastic opening to what's going to be a very fun season.

    "Perfect"
    By trm6, Mar 18, 2008
    When I first heard it was only going to be the guys dancing tonight, I didn't think it was going to be any good. Boy was I wrong! This episode has got to be one of the funniest I have seen since I started watching the show! First, there's the comedian (Adam Corolla). He was really funny! I was laughing so hard during his and Julianne's interview that I almost had tears in my eyes! I hope they don't get eliminated next week, because Julianne is a great dancer and Adam seems like he's going to be a lot of fun. Another great couple is Cristian and Cheryll. They seem like they're going to be a great couple to watch. The couple that promises to have a relationship would have to be Mario and Karina. Their chemistry is amazing!!! Especially since it's the first episode and it's only been 4 weeks! They get along great, the look great together, and they're both fantastic dancers. I can't wait to see what the girls will bring to the dance floor tomorrow.moreless
