The twelve new celebrity dancers and their professional dance partners finally took over the dance floor to show their dancing skills for the first time at the Dancing With The Stars season 13 premiere on Monday (September 19). Rob Kardashian and his partner Cheryl Burke danced the Viennese Waltz to the sound of “Lake Michigan” by Rouge Wave (watch video below).

Rob wants to boost his confidence and step out of his bootylicious sisters’ shadows. The Kardashian sidekick is used to being bossed around, but Cheryl took it to a whole new level. That performance was absolutely horrible. Rob couldn’t keep that nervous smile off his face and was way too heavy on his feet.

Len Goodman was certainly not impressed, but believes Rob can survive a couple of weeks in the competition. Bruno thought the reality star was moving around like a “little petrified duckling”, and ordered him to take control. Carrie Ann Inaba was the only one who actually saw potential in that performance.

Score: 16 (6+5+5)
