Dancing with the Stars returns

Tonight starts the three night, live season premiere of Dancing with the Stars. The men dance tonight, followed tomorrow by the ladies, with a double elimination results show Wednesday. This season the competition begins with the largest number of contestants - 16! - and I just want to point out that I think this is a bit excessive. While I am happy the show is expanding, having so many contestants participating does not make me want to watch; It makes me want to spend my time elsewhere. Anyway, I'm not sure I will be following closely this season, but I may watch a few episodes here and there. So here's to a good season, full with talent. If you plan to watch, enjoy the first episodes and feel free to leave comments about who are your early favorites and who sucks.
