    This season was about couples, that was the whole point of having Ty and Jewell. They wanted to do a couples vs couples thing completely but then decided against it. I think that letting Julianne and Chuck together some think is an advantage, however it may not be. More people are expecting chemistry right off the bat for those two, and that could hurt them down the line.

    Can't wait to see Shawn Johnson! She is such a little powerhouse, I hope she's graceful on the dance floor. At least Mark Ballas will have someone who is used to working hard, practicing and competing.

    I thought Julianne Hough wasn't competing this spring to focus on her music... Guess that isn't the case now that she's dancing with her boyfriend.
