Sadie Robertson gets second highest score on first night of 'DWTS'

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Reality television star Sadie Robertson and her partner Mark Ballas got the second highest score of the night during Monday's first episode of the 19th season of Dancing With The Stars.

The Duck Dynasty alum and Ballas got 34 out of 40 points for their Cha Cha Cha dance to Katy Perry's song "Birthday."

In a clip shown before the pair's performance, Robertson said her dancing skills have been limited to the mirror in her room thus far because she's not allowed to dance in school. Luckily, Ballas -- who has won the dancing competition 15 times -- brought out her best moves for Monday's routine.

The winners of the show's first week were Fresh Prince of Bel Air star Alfonso Ribeiro and his partner Witney Carson with 36 points. Designer Betsey Johnson and Tony Dovolani came in last place with 20 points.

For the first two weeks of the show viewers can cast their vote for their favorite performers via phone and online on Facebook. The votes will be combined with those of the judges and the pair with the lowest combination of votes will be eliminated from the show the following week. You can check out the judge's scores for the first week of the show on its website.

DWTS airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
