Season 25 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars cha cha'd its way into primetime Monday night with a dazzling two-hour premiere with 13 couples competing. This season the show pits social-media influencers, sports stars and actors against some seasoned stage performers, all of whom want to walk away with the Mirror Ball trophy -- or at least without injury. Showbiz stalwarts like Nick Lachey (98 Degrees) and Debbie Gibson (of Electric Youth and Broadway fame) might once have been considered sure bets for a win (both have danced for years) – but the night produced four big surprises with the unexpected dancing talent displayed by TV host and actress Vanessa Lachey, former Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz, violinist/YouTube star Lindsey Stirling and ESPN personality Victoria Arlen.
