Dancing With the Stars contestants had no qualms about getting close to their partners on the red carpet before their debuts on the dance floor Monday night. The celebs hammed it up for the big event and looked to be very calm despite the task before them. Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas seemed especially comfortable with one another as they embraced during the photo opp.
Less surprising were the actions of Jersey Shore's own Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, who steamed up the carpet — posing provocatively with partner Karina Smirnoff.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like The Situation's GTL mentality is going to get him far on the carpet.
Mike, along with David Hasselhoff and Margaret Cho, tied for the lowest scores of the night, a 15, and could be in danger of elimination tonight!
