Cloris Leachman goes a bit too far...

I have always admired Cloris Leachman as a performer and I was votiing for her to keep her on Dancing With The Stars but last night she showed poor sportsmanship even though she was trying to be funny. I just think calling one of the judges a B... when she didn't like the score she received was out of line. If she thought she was going to sail through the contest because she's 82, then she is deceiving herself. They have to judge each contestant fairly and Carrie Ann judged her performance fairly. It was very cute and sassy and funny but realistically, Cloris Leachman cannot possibly dance as well as someone a third or more her age who is in great shape. If she'd been dancing her whole life, maybe she could be somewhat of a real contender but she's not going to be able to win that contest. She can be very funny and that's why I've voted for her to keep her on for at least the first couple of weeks or so. But most of my votes are going for people I feel like can actually win. Right now, the two top contenders seem to be Brooke Burke and Ted McGinley. Susan Lucci did much better last night and so did several of the others. But if I had to bet on who is going to win, it would be Brooke Burke. She far outweighs everyone else's performances. Anyway, that's my take on things.

Is it me or are dancers doing a better job this year as far as dancing because in previous years, the dancers didn't seem to do so well in the beginning but it seems to me as if this group started off well from the start with the exception of two: the comedian and Cloris Leachman. You are right, she is funny but maybe offering them the $10 and the name calling was a bit out of line.

Compared to last season, these dancers, except Brooke Burke and Ted McGinley, are not anywhere near as good. They also have much lower scores compared to last year.
