If you aren’t a Dancing with the Stars fan yet, you need to become one!  Pro Rodeo Hall of Famer, Ty Murray made his dancing premier on Monday night’s live season opener on ABC’s hit show Dancing with the Stars.  Murray’s wife, pop singer Jewel, was supposed to be competing (dancing) against him but was injured just days before the competition started.  She will be a guest singer on next weeks first elimination show.  Murray is no stranger to primetime reality tv.  He also appeared in his own Celebrity Bull Riding, Celebrity Race, and Fast Cars and Superstars. 

I watched last years season of Dancing with the Stars and loved it; so I was hooked for this season.  After watching Monday night, Murray didn’t do so great this time but he still has next week to improve.  You be the judge - take a look at the youtube video I posted below.  I think it is great that he is getting out there and creating publicity for the sport of rodeo - that is after all, his main reason for doing it. 

Murray was joined by other feature “stars” like Denise Richards, Shawn Johnson, Lawerence Taylor, and Melissa Rycroft (The Bachelor) to name a few.  You can see the show each Monday night on ABC 8 ET/7CT.  If you missed last weeks, no worries, check it out on YouTube or ABC.com’s free episodes.
