Chad Ochocinco's 'Dancing With The Stars' First Dance (VIDEO)


First Posted: 05/23/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 04:55 PM ET

Chad Ochocinco made his "Dancing with the Stars" debut Tuesday night, and the Bengals receiver showed promise, if not polish. The Twitter star scored an 18 with partner Cheryl Burke, which wasn't as high as competitors such as Erin Andrews. It remains to be seen whether Ochocinco will be able to give the contest his full attention while he is also working on a second reality TV show. Also unclear is whether his adeptness at exercising naked will pay off. How did the Bengal do?

Quick Poll

Chad Ochocinco...

He'll do fine. I think a reason that the football players do so well is that they know how to take coaching and they know something about teamwork.

He wasn't very impressive considering the way he was yapping on twitter you'd think he was a shoein to win this, but in actuality only put a 6-7lvl performance. That being said he does have rhythm unlike Kate, and will prob get better and better.

I gave him a 6.5, halfway between an ocho and a cinco.

By the way, Chad, Ochocinco does not mean 85.

He should have gotten a higher score from the judges.

Any why did he make up his last name off of his football jersey. When they said this last night I was shocked.

Mostly for fun. He's a huge joker so he'll do all kinds of silliness to entertain the fans. And frankly I find it pretty entertaining.

Dude is on the down low. Why was he macking with Terrell Owens at the beginning of his dance routine.

Only a true down low dude would look at it that way. Sorry but I doubt your dream will come true. LOL

I could see where a comment from a hetero chick could be confused with a down low dude.
