Nancy Grace's 'Dancing With The Stars' Debut (VIDEO)

Monday night was the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC, and HLN's very own Nancy Grace made her much-hyped dancing debut along with the rest of the show's new cast.

Grace began her routine sitting sternly behind a desk, before removing a black blazer to reveal a glittering silver dress and dancing a cha-cha-cha with her partner Tristan McManus.

Our verdict? A little stiff, but not too bad! Grace certainly seemed happy, beaming throughout the entire dance. The judges, as they tend to do, disagreed slightly with each other, with Bruno Tonioli telling Grace, "you've got the moves," Carrie Ann Inaba warning her to remember her choreography, and crotchety Brit Len Goodman huffing that the whole thing seemed to be a little "underwhelming."

What do you think? Check out Grace's debut, and see a gallery of all of her rivals below.

Watching Nancy Grace trying to dance is like watching Miss Piggy bustin' a move. Perhaps if she could just learn to keep her loud obnoxious mouth closed more often, she might slim down to under 200lbs.

Hey, don't knock her. Remember what Kirstie Alley looked like when she started out on DWTS. She was huge and is now 100 pounds lighter. The same could happen for Nancy Grace.

So you were thinking what I was thinking? That her partner has the look on his face similar to that of Kermit?

"Yeah", to the big legs, "no" to the grating personality.

I am so glad that Nancy has found another career in dancing. She will at least have something to fall back on when Casey Anthony disappears from the scene...
I wonder if Jane Velez Mitchell has any interest in dancing.

I laughed until I cried when I first saw this clip, this is one lady that soo does not need to quit her day job. I don't recall seeing a dancer as bad as Nancy Grace in a very long time. Watching this clip for the second time just made me cringe.

100% that's hard to imagine, considering she looked 100% out of her element. On a brighter note she did look as though she was having fun.

....I hope that she trips and breaks some of those baby-back ribs....

...EWwwww.....She reminds me of the old Hee-haw show, when the dancin' cartoon pigs would hoove across the screen.....

OMG. How accurate your comment is.

Ha !
My FIRST thought exactly. Her immature attitude and overtly mean big mouth makes it easy to see her as a metaphorical pig.

Many cruel people blasted Kirstie Alley for her size when she was on DWTS. Now she is likely thinner than many of the ones who mocked her....she's 100 lbs. thinner.
