Dancing with the Stars Season 9 Episode 2 Recap

The Second Part of the Dancing with the Stars Season Premiere

Sep 22, 2009

The second night of the three night Dancing with the Stars season premiere was the ladies night to perform the two dances, giving the men the night off.

The ninth season of Dancing with the Stars began on Monday, September 21st but Tuesday, September 22nd was saved for the women to shine. There are 16 contestants on this season of the reality competition show, and in order to make it work, they had to give the men their own day on the Dancing with the Stars season premiere, and allow the women to perform their dances on Tuesday. This allowed the eight women celebrities of the show a chance to rest for a day, but Tuesday night was then their chance to shine. A Dancing with the Stars Episode 1 recap is available if you are interested.

The women in the cast were given the stage on Tuesday, and those celebrities were as follows:

As with how the men performed, the ladies took to the stage with their professional dance partners in the couples dances, doing either a Salsa or the Viennese Waltz. The performance of the night came from Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough (her professional partner) when they performed an amazing Salsa. Joanna Krupa lived up to her billing as one of the most attractive dancers, but also turned in the highest score of the competition so far with a 24.

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel were the last couple to take the stage in the couple’s portion, and performed an amazing Viennese Waltz. She didn’t seem like she would be this great of a dancer, but the judges and the audience both loved her and Van Amstel, with the judges giving the pair a final score of 23 points for their dance. The highest scoring partner outside of the top two was Mya and Dmitry Chaplin who posted a score of 21.

In the Dancing with the Stars relay dances for day two, Joanna Krupa again stole the show with a first round win and the 10 points that went along with it. In the relay dances, four couples take the stage at the same time, and the judges rank them from best to worst. Getting the top rank achieves 10 points, there are eight points for second, six for third, and just four points for fourth. In her group were also Debi Mazar, Kathy Ireland, and Natalie Coughlin.

In the second group of the relay dancers, the best and the worst were easily separated, with Mya and Kelly Osbourne the best of the group, and singer Macy Gray a distant last place. The judges ended up rewarding Mya with the 10 points, and Kelly Osbourne with the second place spot and eight points.

For the night, Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough led the way in overall scores, with Joanna Krupa amassing 34 total points. Right behind here were both Mya and Kelly Osbourne with 31 points apiece, and then Natalie with 27, and Melissa with 24. Last place for the night was Macy Gray with just 19 points.

The next episode of Dancing with the Stars is the first double elimination of the week, taking place on Wednesday night at 8:00 P.M. on ABC.
