The season premiere was full of surprises, with not just marvelous performances that left the judges awestruck, but also some never-seen-before attributes!

It's time to officially break a leg or two because 'Dancing With the Stars' has finally returned with its 27th installment! Yes, fans, your prayers were answered Monday itself, and honestly - what could be a better way to start the week, right? As expected, the season premiere abounded in 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. 

Let's just say, all those super glittery costumes weren't the only things sizzling in the room. But the season premiere was full of surprises, with not just marvelous performances that left the judges awestruck, but also in terms of performers and acts never-seen-before, and of course, the inevitable on-the-floor injury that happened to arrive in the opening episode itself.
