Reality radio put a best feet brazen again for a deteriorate premiere of “Dancing With a Stars” Monday night. But after final season’s all-star book (so-so ratings and all), it’s tough not to see this collection of B-list celebrities as a bit of a comedown. Heck, after 15 seasons underneath a show’s sequined belt, they’re treading on a well-worn trail on a dance floor…

…but that cynicism goes out a window a few mins into a telecast, when fighter Victor Ortiz’s backstory hits viewers like a tummy punch.

But initial adult are “American Idol” oldster Kellie Pickler and her partner Derek Hough. “We have a same haircut,” says Hough when they accommodate for a initial time for training. “You can be Peter Pan to my Tinkerbell,” she says.

Not certain we can hoop a season’s value of that over-emotional Southern charm.

When she hits a dance building for her cha cha cha to Jessie J’s “Domino,” however, she proves there’s some glow in those hips. The judges agree. “Yum yum pinkish bum, that was fun,” says decider Len Goodman, that is substantially some-more surpassing if you’re British. She has implausible torso moving.

The judge’s measure is 7-7-7 for 21, that is a good start.

Next adult is Ortiz and visitor pro, Lindsay Arnold. The 19-year-old mislaid Fanning sister is informed to those who enjoyed “So You Think You Can Dance” – or those who were forced to watch it by a wives.

Ortiz’s story yet creates him my present favorite. His mom left him and his siblings when he was only 7, his father followed out a doorway 5 years later. By a time he incited pro during 17, he was operative dual jobs to support his younger brother. But removing pummeled in a ring is no credentials for removing lerned by a veteran dancer.

“How bad do we suck,” he asks Lindsay during their training. “I’d contend a four,” she answers but a snippet of humor.

For their foxtrot – to a decidedly un-boxer like Maroon 5 strain – Ortiz shows off a discerning feet that led him to so many wins in a ring. “For a complicated hitter we are surprisingly light footed,” gushes decider Bruno Tonioli (Though Len was reduction impressed.)

The score: 6-6-6 for a sum of 18, that is not a good start deliberation they have an ascending conflict for a renouned vote.

Vote for him, for God sake: He concluded to do a uncover after removing his jaw damaged in a fighting compare and removing strike adult to join while he was in a hospital.

Next adult is 18-year “General Hospital” oldster Ingo Rademacher. Partnered with two-time leader Kym Johnson and given a new difficulty of contemporary, it’s a good possibility to channel his indulgence and athleticism to woo a radio assembly that might not know who he is.

Len isn’t all that tender with a dance form or a dancers: “Kym your feet were in a air, some-more than on a floor,” he chastised.

The score, never a less, was a plain 7-6-7 for 20.

New pro dancer Gleb Savchenko will have his work cut out for him with “Real Housewife” Lisa Vanderpump. The Brit describes “Gleb is a beautiful hunky man” and insists on incorporating her bad dog Giggy in a number.
