Dancing with the Stars 13th series gets lucky with more than 1.3 million viewers nationally The cast of Dancing with the Stars series 13. IT is a case of lucky 13 for Channel 7 after Dancing with the Stars waltzed to a big ratings win last night. Nearly 18 months have gone by since Seven's dance show last aired on Aussie television. There was speculation that the 2012 series would be its last. Seven's decision to press on with a thirteenth series has paid off with the show averaging a terrific 1.331 million viewers across the nation's five capital cities. That figure would be especially pleasing for Seven given the show's nearly three-hour run time last night. Dancing with the Stars waltzed around rivals including Big Brother (817,000), Big School (644,000), Recipe to Riches (516,000) and Sleepy Hollow (461,000). Last night's show featured new co-host Edwina Bartholomew alongside Daniel MacPherson. The new-look judging panel included Kym Johnson and Adam Garcia with Todd McKenney and Helen Richey. Last night's standout performance came from illusionist Cosentino and Jessica Raffa who scored 37 out of 40 for their Contemporary routine. Richey gave the pair a perfect 10, describing the routine as "quite exceptional." Tina Arena and Damian Whitewood, who danced last, weren't far behind on 35 out of 40. "That was beautiful," McKenney told Arena. For someone who has never done it before, it was great. Controversial My Kitchen Rules contestant Sophia Pou and dance partner Michael Miziner also garnered widespread praise with their cha cha routine. "You are a surprise package," Garcia told Pou. You are really, really good. The first of the show's 12 celebrities will be eliminated on next week's show.
