DWTS: Dancing With The Stars’ Season 14 Opening Number: Who Owned the Floor?

“Dancing with the Stars” season 14 promised to be a mixed bag, with TV icons from the past, such as Melissa Gilbert and Jaleel White, competing against athletes Donald Driver and Martina Navratilova and TV anchors Maria Menounos and Sherri Shepherd. Some worried that the show’s cast seemed too warm and fuzzy this time, lacking a controversial figure to stir things up. But as we know, stars can break out and anything can happen on our beloved “DWTS,” so away we go with the season premiere!

The show opened with the traditional parade of stars down the ballroom steps. Wow, dancer Peta Murgatroyd sure showed a lot of cleavage in her sparkly top! Who else stood out? Believe it or not, Martina, who looked totally unrecognizable and glam! In fact, when I saw Martina, I thought at first Kate Gosselin was back, because of her sculpted platinum hair.

I did notice a pattern that Most of the former or current ABC stars scored a 23 or above; White, Wagner, Shepard, Fegan, Ballas, Burke. Interesting?
