Did Aly Raisman Dazzle in Her Dancing with the Stars Debut?

You've got until 11am to vote for Aly Raisman and help keep her in the competition. Here's how.

 

 

To judge from their comments, Dancing with the Stars judges were dazzled during the live broadcast Monday night by Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and her dancing partner Mark Ballas.

All three judges issued identical scores: a respectable 7 out of 10 — good enough to almost certainly keep Raisman and Ballas in the competition.

Judges' scores are only half of it; viewers' votes for their favorites count just as much. You have until 11am to vote for Raisman (or another pair of dancers) either here on Facebook or here at ABC.com

For more details on how to vote, here is ABC's voting FAQ.

Raisman, who goes by Alexandra on DWTS, and Ballas danced the cha-cha-cha. Judges commented on how the 18-year old Needham native had a "natural groove." 

"Where is that sexiness coming from?" asked one judge. "Very, very inspiring."

Another judge: "Well-done."

Raisman and the rest of the Season 16 cast of DWTS returns for another live broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. for the Results Show — one dancing couple will be voted off the island as a combination of judges' scores and viewer votes.

Raisman also makes an appearance, or is talked about, in most of the five episodes of the DWTS pre-show:

Patch will be back Wednesday morning with the results of tomorrow night's broadcast.

The results show doesn't start unil NEXT week - stars get two weeks to show their stuff. Altho we voted on last night's show, the votes will be added to next week's votes to determine who is eliminated.

Betty, thank you for that correction — we still will have a Wednesday morning post about what takes place on Tuesday night's program.
