Dancing With the Stars pro Chelsea Hightower weighed in on each one of the performances from week one in a blog for ABC.

Hightower has participated in the dancing competition's seasons 8 through 12 and in seasons 14 and 15. For the dancer, contestants Danica McKellar, Meryl Davis, Candace Cameron, Amy Purdy, Diana Nyad and Drew Carey all gave pretty impressive performances and are strong candidates to make it all the way to the end.

She added that Charlie White and partner Sharna Burgess gave "the best contemporary performance of the night, full of skill and emotion."

In a separate interview with Good Morning America, Hightower said that Billy Dee Williams will likely be the first contestant to be kicked off the show.

"He’s not a great dancer," she said of Williams in her blog post, later adding that he just needs to "give it a little more energy and work on using those arms! We just want to see a little improvement every week."
