Monday night on ABC, Dancing With the Stars Season 20 Episode 1 kicked off the show's 10th anniversary (they do two seasons per year) in terrific fashion.
The premiere encapsulated so many of the things that have made the show a hit for that long, from the music to the celebrity stories to, yes, the dancing.
No perfect 10s or even 9s were awarded on night one, but a couple of stars already shone brightly, while some others clearly have their work cut out.
Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy: The daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, who were there with her sisters Tallulah and Scout, won the night.
Her foxtrot drew glowing praise from the panel (and her famous family) and established her instantly as one of the stars to watch this coming season.
Riker Lynch and Allison Holker: The Glee star, pop musician and cousin of Julianne and Derek Hough certainly looked the part ... of all of those things.
If you watch Dancing With the Stars online, you'll see what we mean. He also performed well on merit, and could be sticking around for some time.
Michael Sam and Peta Murgatroyd: The first gay man drafted into the NFL is still trying to make his debut in the league, and his debut here was rocky too.
The former college football all-star was slammed for his facial expressions and footwork alike, although he's a competitor, so expect him to use it as fuel.
Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess: The inspirational, heroic, amputee Army vet instantly became a fan favorite when his introductory video aired.
He also became a challenge for partner Sharna from the standpoint of a choreographer, who told him he plus play on the fact that he is a titan among men.
Will he become a titan of dance as he broadens the scope (as Carrie Ann Inaba put it) of what dancing looks like? Only time will tell, but not bad.
Charlotte McKinney and Keo Motsepe: If you've seen Charlotte McKinney Instagram photos, this was about as tough to watch as those pics are enjoyable.
On the plus side, all of those steps she missed during her jive were noticed only by the judges, since viewers were likely enjoying her other attributes.
