ABC's Dancing with the Stars was hours away on from its Monday night premiere when the show's contestants went to Twitter to reach out to fans to avoid being the first to be eliminated on one of the most popular TV reality competitions.

"Hello everyone: the time is here, 1 hour 6min 10 sec Before we go live! Get your fingers ready. Highest votes ever on DWTS," tweeted Super Bowl Champion Donald Driver.

But not all the Stars were asking for votes. Some just tweeted to express their feelings.

"...so nervous and so excited all at once saw everyone dance-wow they are all amazing! Vote! TV," tweeted Extra host Maria Menounos.

"A little over an hour till show time...so nervous and so excited all at once," tweeted fellow contestant and Opera star Katherine Jenkins.

"Getting ready for the premiere of DancingABC with Karina Smirnoff," tweeted Country star Gavin DeGraw an hour ahead of the show.

"It's go time..." Jaleel White tweeted minutes before the show began.
