61. It is obvious that whoever wrote the captions to the pictures of DWTS is not able to recognize Kelly Monaco in the pictures. Not very accurate reporting.
62. I think that Cloris
Leichman should go. She is terrible and her language is so not appropriate. This is about dancing and she can barely move much less dance!! Get her off!! Warren Sapp.....aaaawwww he is a sap!! He acts like he is God's gift!!! He makes me sick winking and acting so high and mighty!! Get that fat, arrogant ass off too. Also not fair that Toni Braxton is on there with her advantage of dancing in video's and concerts. Not fair to the other contestants! Get her off!!
Please get this show back on track and get some good dancing going. As for Cheryl....so what...it's her body not anyone elses!!
63. I overheard convo about this show. One person pointed out that they never have had any african american professional dancers, nor any other race except for caucasians.
The other person stated that maybe that's because there aren't any ethnic professional dancers. I thought that the statement was quite ignorant. But, it made sense that the person would think that. As with every thing else in american society, when you exclude all but a certain type, people are brainwashed that they are the only ones in existance, or of importance. From stating that skinny, blonde and blue eyed are the most beautiful, to saying that only white males can run the country... I know of quite a few professional dancers who would be great on the show. Evidently, the producers are finding it impossible to find them.
64. Interesting coments -- however first, as an "old" ballroom dancer, I'd like to inform all you young'uns that this is NOT ballroom dancing. It is athletic or exhibition, but not ballroom. One seldom sees any formal steps during the performance. Of course, the judges are responsible for not judging accurately, and allowing just about anything. It IS, "Dancing with the stars," but NOT ballroom dancing. Thanks for listening.......
65. This is for parachute27. I don't where you live or what society you think you reign in, but get a life. I am in my 70's, too, and I get a hoot out of doing things that I never would have done or said when I was younger because of what people would have thought. At her age, to have the courage to learn something as hard as this dancing is, I think is wonderful. Where would you rather have her - in a wheelchair in a nursing home. She is funny, entertaining and obviously loved by a lot of people. She is having the time of her life and in the end, the best dancers will be picked. But, if the people want her to win, they will vote for her. It is called "freedom of speech" and you better enjoy it while you can. Cloris has more class and talent and has accomplished more in her lifetime than I bet you ever even thought about doing. Get a life and try laughing. It is good for the heart.
66. I love the show, and watch it every week. I also vote on the dancers I feel have potential to move on. I am disappointed with the choice of contestants this year though. Have not seen anyone special at this point in time. I also don't appreciate inviting 82 year olds to compete on the same level with young folks. It is not reasonable to expect them to be as agile and capable to perform. Also, I would appreciate a little more class in comments from the judges. These people who are working hard to compete don't need ridicule. They need constructive criticizm. We need to eliminate early those who have no potential, and get on with those who do. This should not be a popularity contest. I watch it to see how much improvement the contestants make up to the end of the season. That makes it a good show.
68. I think Cloris has to go she is the worst by far just so she gets a few laughs shes awfull and for a big guy Warren Sapp can dance hes not an Emmitt Smith I dont think Kim is any good either along with Cody hes not thatgreat
69. To "David" who fancies himself as a super stud muffin.....in regards to "doing" anybody, especially Kim K OR her mom (twice??..puleeese!) other than in your dreams, don't flatter yourself.
70. I am an older woman, in my seventies, I really do not appreciate how Cloris Leachman is acting on the show, believe me our generation is not crude like she is.... This season is probably the worst one yet. I agree that the judges should pick the best dancers. Hopefully next week will be better or bye-bye for me.
71. I HAVE TO AGREE, THAT THE CONTESTANT CHOICES THS YR, ARE NOT THE BEST..BUT I SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL FROM LUCCI, AND CLORIS..GIVE THE OLDER GALS A BREAK...KATIE
72. It takes a lot of time and training to perform these dances. Coming in cold and having to learn to dance like a professional is harder than said. I agree America needs to vote on talent not on popularity. Cloris was funny the first night and needed to go last definitely. If you obligated yourself to DWTS then give it 150% just as you would in your professional careers. I am just thrilled each week to tune in to see my favorite dancer Maks. He is the sexiest man alive in my book. GO MAKS. Antoinette
73. I love to watch Cloris Leachman out there kicking up her heals at 82. I would like to see anyone else at her age out there doing that. I would also like to see the older judge out there doing it. Loosen up a little let them have fun.
Disappointed in Susan (from all my children) she isn't very good.
74. Excuse me but why is a 5 and 7 year old allowed to watch a show that is meant to be watched by young adults and up (who are allowed to stay up that late), but probably not anyone under the age of 10. I'm sure anything that is explicit would be bleeped out anyway.
75. I like this show so much! I don`t understand why everyone is on Warren Sapp! He looks pretty good on the dance floor for a guy his size, and trust me....he`s a BIG DUDE!His moves and attitude(when he`s dancing) is great!Please, all you hateres, stop stomping on the Sappster!
