The comments are almost as entertaining as the show. I think it's great that people like (or liked) the show enough to be annoyed about Cloris. I think that it's clear also that she has brought and kept some new viewers at the same time that she has driven some away. I agree that in the end it is all showbusiness and in showbusiness the show must (and certainly) will go on. But for those who want to get rid of Cloris, you need to find a way to convince people to stop voting for her. Is writing insults and expressing righteous indignation an effective way to get people to agree with you? Saying nasty things, I've noticed, is not a great way to bring people to your point of view. So would you rather be angry about it and not get your way, or would you rather get your way by learning to be a bit more persuasive?

Rocco will be gone next and I will be around probably for one more week. HA HA

Please vote for Rocco this week, surely you can spare some of your 8 votes. He does not deserve to go.

I have watched and enjoyed the show from the beginning. It is about professional dancers teaching non dancers to dance and votes from fans and the judges totaled to pick the winner. Watching someone who has never danced improve each week is fun to watch. Some of you viewers just need to for what it is and not be so criticle. I am 67 and I don't think I could have done what Cloris has done. This is enterainment, if you want to watch a real competition watch a ballroom competition.

GOODBYE TO DANCING WHAT A JOKE IT'S BECOME I ALWAYS ENJOYED WATCHING THE GOOD DANCERS AND SERIOUS PEOPLE DANCE BUT CLORIS HAS MADE A MOCKERY OF THE WHOLE SHOW GED RID OF HER IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE DANCERS JAVE TO MOVE ASIDE FOR THE LIKES OF HER SHE IS NOT EVEN COMICAL

If Sanjaya could stay on American Idol as long as he did, I can surely stay just as long on Dancing with the Stars. So for the rest of you that don't like me or are prejudice against older people, go F*** yourself. Could you read my lips there? HA HA HA

This is not a contest of technical dance, if it were, only the judges score would matter. This is a reality TV which is nothing more than stupid mindless fun. It always has been, and it always will be. However, it does showcase ballroom dancing, which gives the professional dancers a chance to show their talent every week to a large viewing audience. I'm sure they would agree it's better to have this opportunity to showcase their talent, in a reality show format, than not to have the show at all. Keep it real people, don't act like it's supposed to be more than what it is, it's a reality show which features dancing. They deliver that every week. If you didn't know this already then congratulations, you are even more stupid than Sarah Palin. That's a scary thought.

I think that people are taking this show too seriously and need to be reminded that it's meant to entertain. Cloris L. is very entertaining and personally I'm anxiously anticipating what is she going to do next(I'm not a big fan of this show; if I see it ok and if I do not that's ok too). She(C.L.) isn't a good dancer and so what! She adds so much personality, originality, and inspiration for all, That Alone is worth keeping her on the show. However, if that's not enough to justify keeping her there, try this: I've read many comments on this board and the one person that is mention the most is C. L., it doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative comments/publicity. The ratings haven't decreased and it appears that many of the haters is still watching the show, if only to complain. BUT YOU ARE WATCHING AND THAT'S ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS!

The rules are the rules. Fans vote who whomever, even near the finals. Stacy Keibler was the outstanding dancer of her season, yet she finished third, despite getting a 30 on the final routine. I would change the weight value of the hjudging to give hte real judges more leverage. TV skews to an older audience, I am sure. So Cloris can get her votes when it doesn't matter, like now, and the D-Listers are falling off as they always do. We all knew they would not eliminate anyone this week, so stop complaining when what was gonna happen did happen. I agree with the previous comment that the dancers with Kool and the Gang must have paid for their air time. Surely, no one selected them to be on the air based on talent.

This show should be cancelled! Not at all what it used to be.
