Tonight’s Dancing With The Stars Results show was not quite what I expected. The bottom two were Toni & Alec and Susan & Tony. I was shocked to see this. How can Cloris & Corky not be in the bottom two? This is ridiculous. I appreciate the fact that Cloris is doing well for an 80-something year old woman and I respect that, but if you are judging these couples on an even plane you cannot tell me that Cloris & Corky really performed better than Toni & Alec and Susan & Tony. I’m a real big fan of this show and I understand that fan votes affect the outcome but this getting absurd. The judges should not be giving Cloris & Corky scores as high as the other couples. Cloris & Corky should be getting Adam Carrolla scores in the teens, not in the twenties. In the end, it was Toni & Alec who went home. They also announced who the guest judge for next week who will take Len’s place was. I didn’t recognize his name and at this point I’m so irritated with DWTS that I’m not sure I care.

Up to last night I could put up with Cloris Leachman’s antics. However, when she ran on camera and usptaged the kids who had just danced their hearts out that was enough for me. These kids are not regular television celebrities and don’t get national TV time. This was their opportunity to be seen and heard and Leachman ruined it. And for what? Did she do anything funny? No. She ran on camera and did…nothing! It was pathetic. If she stays on next week it will make this year’s competion a joke.

I CAN’T BELIEVE CLORIS IS STILL THERE. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE AFTER WEEK 2. EVERYONE ELSE IS GETTING HURT AND HERES THIS OLD WOMAN STILL HANGING IN THERE.HER ACTIONS LAST NIGHT WITH THOSE WONDERFUL KIDS WAS JUST ABOUT THE LIMIT. WHO KEEPS VOTING FOR HER???

I agree with the above. Leachman is ridiculous! Can’t stand not beimg on camera. If DWTS keeps lettig her show-off. they will probably lose many viewers.

I am disgusted with the show and it seems fixed. That Cloris is still on is ridiculous…she should have gone first. Great that she is 80+ but come on….
And the judges are also to blame giving low scores to wonderful dances and a higher score to Cloris…..and they keep saying they are in the middle of the competition and everyone has to step up.
I used to vote all the time and I have not voted this year at all. The show just drags on and on and I am sick of it. DWTS has turned into a campy verison of its original show.
I am done watching it, and so are a lot of people that I know.

I know that the viewers votes can make or break a team, but I agree with Claire. The judges need to start giving scores based on the performance of the dance, not just the age-factor. I give Cloris credit for doing this well as an 82 year old woman, but the judges need to start looking at her as another ‘competitor’ and judging her for her dances, not her age.
I know you can’t compare the energy of an 18 year old with an 82 year old, but the QUALITY of the dance needs to start counting as this stage of the competition.
I rarely watch anymore… I am not happy with the selection of participants this year.

aside from Leachman, the selection of stars isn’t too bad, must be difficult to interest “stars”. Sport figures work pretty well I think, but please, no more 80 year old cmera hogs!

I used to love watching DWTS. I was stunned that Chloris Leachman was even considered as a guest contestant but after watching her do whatever you might call dancing on the 1st night, I then assumed that that was it and the show had their fun at her expense and worst of all, at our expense. We would never have known how vulgar the woman is if she had not been on this show. At this point, I will chime in with “enough is enough” but it has actually gone way beyond that sentiment. This past show is the last one I will watch. Some very good and excellent dancers are being let go to retain this Leachman spectacle !
The only (dance) show she should be on would be one designed for 75 years old and over. The competition would be on a level playing field. But even at that, the other elderly contestants would have to endure her undignified and obscene behavior.

I like Cloris and Corky. I find them entertaining. Humor is a great thing. I did not say they were great dancers but they are trying to do what they can. We all know that they are NOT going to win. And the people who have already been voted off would not have won either. It does not matter in which order they are eliminated. Personally, I am so entertained by Cloris that I wish, when she is eliminated, that they would continue to let them be on the show for the humor factor. I have my favorite 2 picked who I think might go all the way to win. And I haven’t even voted yet. You people who are crabbing need to loosen up a little and maybe grow up. Who cares if you are not going to watch the show anymore. I admire all those who have had the courage to try to do the dances, something that is foreign to them, and do it in front of an audience and on TV. I couldn’t do it and I am sure that a lot of you crabbers wouldn’t either.

I agree with all the comments above. Although Cloris is funny and the dancing even funnier, she should have been voted off after the 1st week. But I had to remember when Master P was on there, he should have been voted off early as well and Jerry Springer, but I’m assuming their fan base keeps them on as long as they can!
