    Brooke and Lance will (should) be in the final 2. Cloris is already getting on my nerves with her interruptions during others interviews but I will give her points for trying at her age. She was put on the show for entertainment purposes only I'm sure. Bye Cloris!!!

    Cloris surprised me this week; she was serious and actually got the steps. As a senior citizen ten years younger than she, I have a deep appreciation of the difficulty most of us older people would have. Go girl! You are an inspiration!

    I do think cloris leachman should not be on this show. They should vote her her She is making a fool of herself and taking the place of people who dance better and deserve to be there
    -- pauline

    I also like Cloris but its not far for the others who are there to win and really can dance to be voted off and she stays. The show should chose people who have some talent comete.

    i like Cloris because the fact that she was 82 year old now, she can still dance BUT... much better if she join in the contest
    at her very young age.

    I think Cloris is a great entertainer, but isn't this show about a dancing competition????? It would be great if she were competing with other seniors.
