'Dancing with the Stars' season 27 week 1 recap: A shocking act, an injured shoulder, and an inappropriate joke

While the super glittery costumes weren't the only things sizzling in the room, the other surprises - even though not as shocking - still managed to leave the judges awestruck.

It's been a whole week since the season 27 of ABC's hit reality show, 'Dancing with the Stars' premiered, and shocking moments and an elimination round later, 'DWTS' is left with 12 out of the initial 13 dancing duos. As expected, the season premiere was full of impressive moves and stellar performances - some with exceptional effort and others not so much. And oh, there was some sniping going on between the judges too!

While the super glittery costumes weren't the only things sizzling in the room, the other surprises - even though not as shocking - still managed to leave the judges awestruck. From marvelous performances to acts never-seen-before, and of course, the inevitable on-the-floor injury that happened to arrive in the opening episode itself - here's a quick recap of everything.
