In full season mode, thankfully, DANCING WITH THE STARS: Season 27 began with lots of sex appeal, talent and determination. No oldies but goodies this season. The talent is through the roof impressive and to pick a clear front runner would be nearly impossible. Two, in fact, tied for first tonight with 23 points. Footballer DeMarcus Ware & his partner Lindsey Arnold and singer Tinashe & new pro Brandon Armstrong. Both delivered high-powered and pumped performances that had the crowd on their feet. Right behind them with 22 points is FULLER HOUSE‘s Juan Pablo Di Pace, who added a heck of a lot of sex appeal to the dance floor. Model Alexis Ren and Alan Bernsten also faired well with 21 points. But who didn’t have a great night? Well, that would be “Grocery Store” Joe Amabile from THE BACHELOR fame & Jenna Johnson who landed at the bottom with only 14 points. No elimination tonight, Tuesday is part two of the season premiere, stay tuned.
