Dancing with the Stars is back and hotter than ever with a line­up of diverse celebrities, from talk show host Wendy Williams to famed boxer Sugar Ray Leonard to WWE Chris Jericho and many more.

The dancers performed the jive and the quickstep, which proved to be a little difficult, as well as tir­ing, for some of the contestants, but despite the struggles, most of the contestants performed well.

Unfortunately, the night wasn’t so great for radio talk show host Mike Catherwood, who was elim­inated. He left behind 11 celebri­ties fighting for the much desired dance trophy.

The show seems to be maintain­ing its strong fan base, and it re­mains exciting for its twelfth sea­son.

The live action band, the feisty judges and the unique, diverse celebrities add to the show. If ABC maintains this format Danc­ing with the Stars could go on for many more seasons.

Catch Dancing with the Stars on ABC Mondays and Tuesdays at 7 p.m..
