All the stars glittering on the Dancing With The Stars stage gave fans a thrilling first week of the dance competition show. But as always happens with DWTS, the there were stars who had their glitter dimmed as they received the fewest votes and were sent home.
On this first week of dancing, two stars were eliminated -- actor Ashley Hamilton and singer Macy Gray. Both did a good job with their initial routines, but just not good enough to garner enough votes to have a second shot at impressing fans at home.
Macy Gray performed a Vienese waltz with professional dancer Jonathan Roberts. And Ashley Hamilton, who's dad George was once also a contestant on the show, performed a fox trot with partner, professional dancer Edyta Sliwinska.
Even though Gray and Hamilton failed to last beyond the first week, both said that they enjoyed every minute of the experience and have no regrets about entering the dance competition.
Gray opined that she enjoyed meeting new friends on the show, saying, "That was one of the best things. I met some really great people that I hope to hang out with in the future. It was a fun one week."
Hamilton knew that he entered the contest at a disadvantage because he was not fully recovered from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Sliwinska, who had been his father's dance partner on DWTS, said, "Ashley had no idea how to dance. He came with no experience, but he worked way harder than his dad. And he did an amazing, amazing job."
A highlight of DWTS, too, was a tribute to the late Patrick Swayze, described as a "friend of the show." Swayze won the hearts of fans with his ballroom dance routines in the film, Dirty Dancing.
