The All Stars season of Dancing With the Stars got off to an exciting start last night and Mark Ballas was one of the few pros that was back with a same partner. And that partner is the well-talked about Bristol Palin.

And Mark is loving it! "It's 2.0!" Mark told OK! after the show. "She's a lot more confident, she's lost weight and she knows what to expect." Even her mom Sarah Palin was in the audience!
