Dancing With the Stars Premiere: Who Impressed? And Who Just Depressed

Who's ready to kick off the most hyped season of Dancing With the Stars yet?!

Ready or not, here they come. A dozen celebs of varying stature hit the ballroom tonight with the pressure already on: One of them is going home tomorrow.

As usual, we've got reality stars (including a member of the E! family), athletes, singers, actors, etc. But all are created equal when they first step out on the floor—and it's the steps they make afterward that count!

So, who were the surprise hits and who totally missed the mark? Let's start with Chaz Bono...

Knowing he was the one that audiences were most anxious to see, producers craftily saved Chaz—the show's first-ever transgender contestant—for last. But he was definitely not least!

The author and Becoming Chaz star made the most preseason headlines, but he showed up ready to rumble, er, rumba! Under the tutelage of Lacey Schwimmer, Chaz wasn't the best dancer, but he may have been the most pleasantly surprising.

Not to mention "cute and cuddly," as Bruno Tonioli duly noted.

Clean-shaven and looking like a teenager, David Arquette waltzed two-time champ Kym Johnson around the floor like a guy with something to prove! (Or at least with someone to impress—daughter Coco and his still legally wedded wife Courteney Cox had front-row seats in the audience.)

And his effort was not wasted, with none other than head judge Len Goodman saying he was "very, very impressed" by what Arquette put out there. Of course, he's got the energy of an unbridled pony, so he has to tone it down a bit, but the eight-months-sober Scream star had great lines and infectious enthusiasm.
