Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) Season 5 premieres tonight on ABC. Season 5 is the biggest DWTS season yet. This season there will be twelve couples, six with female stars and six with male stars. Don’t forget DWTS will be on three nights this week, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In addition to introducing all twelve couples, the women will be performing either the Foxtrot or the Cha Cha Cha. Tomorrow night the men will get their turn to perform the same dances. Both tonight and tomorrow night’s shows will be an hour and half long. Then on Wednesday night during the results show, following a special performance by Dolly Parton (I’ll probably change the channel during this part), we will have our first losers of the season.

Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris will be back this season as well as everyone’s favorite dance judges, Len Goodman Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba. I actually wasn’t sure if Samantha would be back as she was pregnant at the end of last season. I’ll be interested to see if they make reference to that tonight.

Here are the couples who will be performing tonight:

Melanie Brown and Maksim Chmerkovsky

Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas

Jennie Garth and Derek Hough

Josie Maran and Alec Mazo

Marie Osmond and Jonathon Roberts

Jane Seymour and Tony Dovolani

If you want to check out pictures of this season’s stars (or your still not sure who some of them are take a look at our DWTS Season Preview.

Of the women, I have high hopes for the ever elegant Jane Seymour and Sabrina Bryan who is part of the girl group the Cheetah Girls. On the other hand, I have my doubts about Scary Spice (Melanie Brown). She has gotten really scary in recent years (shiver). I do want to see Jennie Garth and Derek Hough. Derek is Julianne Hough’s (last year’s winning pro) brother. It should be a pretty good season. I can’t wait to see how this year’s crop of stars do. (Who ever thought I’d be excited about a ballroom dancing show?)
