That prompted him to put out a statementsaying he was pausing his participationin the ballroom.
Thank goodness a WGA deal was made so we wouldnt be deprived of all his Walsh-ness!
Exhibit A: his claim that he has a dancers frame.
Exhibit B: hes Americas Sweetheart.
You are adorable, said Inaba.
You definitely played to your strength …theres a lot of work.
I think the face-ography was unbelievable, added Hough.Score:12 out of 30
Supermodel Tyson Beckford with partner Jenna Johnson.
Beckford has been working hard on his core and legs, so he thinks hes ready to Cha Cha.
He did once give folks a whiff of his chocolate at Chippendales, after all.
But no stripping on opening night!
A James Brown split will have to do, instead.
Oh hello hello hello!
Hes so cool, so laid back.
You are teasing me arent you?
said judge Bruno Tonioli.
We need more of that!
I have to be honest, cha cha cha, there is no heel leads.
And you lost timing, at times.
Hes followed bymillionson social media, says host Alfonso Ribeiro.
But can the 6-foot-5 dude Cha Cha?
And ripping off his shirt will only go so far (no matter how happy it makes him).
Harry, Im not going to lie.
It was a little scary.
Even if it feels wrong, commit to it being wrong, said Hough.
It feels a little bit timid.
If only TVs best dance show had that kind of power, honey.
Now, about that salsa….Life is a constant journey of healing.
Im so proud of you.
You just dance the salsa on live TV!
That is a win, said judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
I loved the attitude!

When you smile, you let up the room.
You reminded me of my dad dancing at my wedding.
My dad was ripping it!
He was awesome, said Hough.
Will Williams become the oldest winner ofDWTS?
Im kind of in shock, my man.
That was so effortless and so easy to watch!
You reminded me I have to loosen up my hips, said judge Derek Hough.
Apparently, her teachers thought she was too tall to make a go of it.
All I could have think of, Len would have loved that.
(Shes 17).
Get it together, girl!
Youre about to kick off the show with a first-out-of-the-gate cha cha to show off my personality.
Season 31 Joseph Baena was impressed; he gave her a standing O.
His premiere night salsa was an excellent start.
That opening lift, it kind of took me off guard.
Definitely playing to your strengths, said Hough.
The Venezuelan music artist is living the dream; her grandma is a big fan!
But way to make it hard for her,DWTS, by forcing her to tango to …
The PolicesRoxanne?She was on fire.
I feel very very hot!
Im that kid still, nervous that Im going to look ridiculous, he said before going on stage.
What is going on here?
Why do you keep this secret from us?
Hes a dancer, come on!
You came out here, you owned it.
The reality star whose personal life made national news is getting the last laugh.
First, she books a role as a cop on a Lifetime, ripped-from-the-headlines movie.
Next, shes paired up with the best teacher onDTWS.
Its obvious why she performed last on premiere night: the gals got skills, man.
That was fantastic, especially for a first dance, said Hough.
The tradition continues: another contestant from ABCs other long-running unscripted franchise is competing for the mirror ball trophy.
Lawson, no surprise, can move: she was a cheerleader.
She looks good in sequins and boas, too.
Guess whos already looking like a finalist?
That was a tango stunner, said Tonioli.
The execution for week one was superb.
A stellar performance.Score:22 out of 30
Bottom two couples were Walsh and Iwasak and Umansky with Slater.
And…poor Walsh was sent home.
Next week is Latin night!
