Why does Tony Dovolani (not certain of that spelling) always get paired with someone that has no chance of winning? The only exception was the time he was paired with Melissa Rykoff, and that was only because she was a last-minute substitution.

I don't know how they pair the dancers. Curious though.

probably size shape and personality? lol...they're lucky tonight only one other show to compete with...(others are reruns) that's the only reason we're watching...

It's the only reason I'm watching. There isn't anything else on and Castle follows right after.

Oh...I never miss Castle!

Lindsey, I thought the same thing. They always give Derrick and Mark the best of the bunch but Tony always get stuck with someone who has no chance of winning.

I missed a few mins of the beginning. I think that Patti LaBelle was elegant, Suzanne Sommers was a disappointment, I thought that she would be much better since she appears to be in great shape for her age, and I think she did some dancing on stage. Rumer Willis was a pleasant surprise. she and Val did great. She looks like the one to beat at this early point.

I only watched long enough to see Chris Soules, aka Prince Farming, dance. He sure is a hunk and danced fairly well.

I didn't see them all, but I was really surprised by Rumer. She was phenomenal! Yes, I do feel bad for Tony. Is it Suzanne he's paired with? She was really stiff. I missed Robert Hergovec. I really like him and hope he does well.

I checked out some videos of Robert Herjavech and Kym. They sure look like they are "a couple". They couldn't keep their hands off each other. But it seems like every season, one of the couples are rumoured to be dating.
