Without a token model to cast off this time around, the viewers of ultimately based their first set of votes on sheer ability.

For the show’s first double-elimination, there were little surprises to be had.  After Monday’s numbers were combined with last week’s scores, magician Penn Jillette and tennis star Monica Seles both found themselves one foot out the door.  (Their grand totals of 33 and 30, respectively, were the lowest of the competition.) Tonight, the fans gently pushed them the rest of the way out.

At this stage last fall, Josie Maran and Albert Reed were the first two to be let go.  The real shockers didn’t start developing until several weeks in.  Could we eventually see a Sabrina Bryan-esque elimination this season?  If so - when do you think it will happen?  Place your bets now!

The division of the sexes formally ended on tonight’s .  All twelves couples gathered for their last chance to dazzle the viewers before Tuesday’s dreaded double-elimination.

Last week, and Monica Seles scraped the bottom of the scoring barrel (15 points each) while Mario and (24 and 27 points, respectively) made it known they were the ones to look out for.  How did the celebrities fare with Monday’s dances?  Did they do anything in their second outing to change their standing in the competition?

Dancing with the Stars: Season 6 kicked off tonight with another interesting range of participants.  This time around we had a football player, an R&B artist, a magician, a radio DJ and two actors.

For the show’s first week, the men had Monday night to themselves.  (The ladies will take their floor tomorrow.) This will all lead to the very first double-elimination next week (one man, one woman) after all 12 couples get another chance to perform.

So how did the six new gentlemen stack up?  Read on!

Penn Jillette Remember that new game show, Identity, with Penn Jillette? It only aired for a week, then seemed to vanish into oblivion. If you’ve been missing it, fear not—it returns to the schedule in March. The week it aired earned decent ratings, debuting with 12.3 million viewers on December 18th. Overall, the show averaged 9.3 million viewers during the week. Good enough to bring it back, it seems. Identity will return to the roster on Friday, March 16th at 9:00 p.m. Subsequent weeks, it will air on Fridays at 8:00 p.m., replacing 1 vs. 100. If you didn’t catch the show, it’s basically a game of first-impressions and stereotypes. Contestants must identify which of 12 strangers fits a certain trait—the episode I saw had contestants determining the occupation of each person. The prize for correctly matching the trait with each person is $500,000. Eh, not a thrilling show, but Penn makes it entertaining and it could easily become a guilty pleasure.
