Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba are back to judge another group of celebrities that hope to add the coveted Mirrorball Trophy to their list of accomplishments.

Even the weakest performance showed some glimmer of potential if the star is allowed to stay in the competition long enough to hone his or her dance skills.
