If I had to predict the winner and runner up based just on tonight, I would go with Brooke Burke to be the runner up and Lance Bass to win. Everyone has thought he was the best bet to win and his dancing shows he has the ability plus he apparently is super popular.
Brooke Burke doesn't have a huge fan base that I know of but being a mother of four with a body like that and natural ability could take her far.
How funny (and crazy) was Cloris Leachman? So who are your favorites? Who do you think will go tomorrow and Wednesday? I'm thinking the comedian who hurt his eye (who danced with Edyta) and maybe good old Cloris although she didn't do that badly, especially for a 82 year old!
Thoughts?

It is so early to make a decision! I think that Lance did do great. Brooke was really good too. Cody and Maurice did very well too. I do agree that Jeff Ross and Chloris would be the natural choices to go. Although, maybe Chloris's spunkiness with save her. I was a bit disappointed with Susan Lucci's performance. I expected much better from her.

Lance Bass's partner is Lacey Schwimmer from So You Think You Can Dance. She didn't win but she came close. I was surprised to see her on this show and she really is a spitfire. She isn't well liked by the other women dancers, I have read.
I was disappointed with Susan Lucci too. I know she is older but she seems so graceful and like she can really move but he was really stiff. Maybe she'll get better. She has a big fan base that will vote for her no matter what I think.

Doh! I answered two posts in one comment. Disregard the Lacey stuff. That was to the person above you. I have a feisty kitten on my lap who is typing and biting and acting nuts, making me lose what little concentration I had. lol.

Weeeelllll.... I fell asleep. Yup, I missed Lance and Cloris dance but woke up just as Cloris finished dancing and saw all the silly things she did. I know she is a funny comedienne but my family thought she was drunk. She was acting a bit like it but I think it's just her sense of humour. I hope she holds back a bit next time.
I only saw the recap at the end but Lance's dance looked good. I will try and find it online and watch it. Susan Lucci has weird looking legs. I hope she goes early. She is no Kelly Monaco or Lisa Rhina. I want Jeff to stay around just to keep the humour on the show.
As for predictions, yes Brooke Burke did do well and she is popular. She hosted Rock Star In X Cess (or however it's spelled) a few years back when our fellow Canadian JD won (and probably a couple of seasons before that). She announced she was pregnant near the end of that season. I think that is the show that helped her gain her popularity.
I see some potential for improvement in the others though. It is only the first week and we tend to see lots of improvement over the weeks. I think Rocco did pretty good and could go far. I guess I can't say much more since I was out of it. LOL! I'll have to watch it again online.

Cloris seemed to be drunk or slightly out of her head after she danced. She seemed OK when she danced then she kind of went nuts. lol. She was swearing like a sailor every time she heard a judge's score.
They did say you can see the videos on abc.com.
I wasn't at all impressed with Kim Kardashian but I have to admit I don't like her anyway so I didn't give her much leeway. Yeck.

I thought cloris rocked for being 82.....and the comedian I think will get the boot even if he tried hard he just couldn't cut it....I won't make predictions this early. I was a little disappointed in Susan Lucci...I thought she would have done much better....not quite so stiff.....It was fun to see the show back on again!
