Jeffrey Ross out of Dancing with the Stars, which tries to restrain Cloris Leachman
The first celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars 7 was comedian Jeffrey Ross, which was pretty much unsurprising, since he had the lowest score last night.
Meanwhile, Cloris Leachman, who’s pretty much the best reason ever to watch the show, received the evening’s lowest scores, and for good reason, because her dancing was pretty horrible. It actually looked like her partner Corky Ballas was manipulating a Cloris Leachman puppet, as he had to guide her.
But seriously, screw the dancing: She’s worth keeping on the show for her entertainment value, at least until she becomes too one-note. Immediately after we learned that she was safe and about to dance, she ran over to the judges while reaching into her bra. Later, we learned that was because she gave them each $10. “I’ve bribed the judges, so we don’t have to waste the time,” Cloris told Tom Bergeron after her dance. (Earlier, in an interview taped last night, she said, “I’m going to get better scores for the mambo or they’re going to be dead. I’m going to sock them right in the face.”)
Carrie Ann gave back the money to maintain her impartiality, and when Len joked that he was keeping it, Cloris said, “Do you want it all? I know they don’t give you very much money.” She was back up at the table, although she kept moving back and forth, as if she’d been told to not leave her mark. When Bruno gave his feedback, Cloris said, “Speak English, what?” And there was lots of conversation about her “coconuts” shaking; Len told her, “last night, I had a good look at your coconuts.”
Backstage, Corky Ballas kept his arms wrapped around her, as if to restrain her. When Carrie Ann revealed her score, Cloris said, “oh you bitch,” and later said, “I’m leaving; where’s my chauffeur?” Let’s hope she doesn’t actually leave too soon.

ABC Television Network
PRESS RELEASE
ABC Earns a Solid Second on Tuesday with Viewers and Young Adults, While Ranking No. 1 in Key Women Demos
For the Second Straight Night, "Dancing with the Stars" Dominates its Slot in Viewers and Young Adults and Qualifies the Most-Watched TV Show of the Evening
Surging from its Lead-in, ABC's "DWTS" Beats Competition from 9-11pm Including Fox's "Fringe," CBS' "The Mentalist" Debut and NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" Opener
Tuesday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m.)
ABC took second place on the opening Tuesday of the '08-09 season in Total Viewers (14.3 million) and Adults 18-49 (3.7/10), and was No. 1 for the evening in Women 18-49 (5.1/12) & 25-54 (6.4/14).
"Dancing with the Stars" (9:00-11:00 p.m.)
On the 2nd evening of its 3-night live premiere event, "Dancing with the Stars" finished a definitive No. 1 in its 2-hour time period, outpacing its nearest competition by 4.7 million viewers (18.2 vs. 13.5 million - CBS' "Mentalist"/"Without a Trace") and by 12% in Adults 18-49 (4.7/12 vs. 4.2/10 - Fox's "Fringe" from 9:00-10:00 p.m.). It was the second night in a row that "DWTS" won its time slot on both Nielsen measures. Comedian Jeffrey Ross was the first celebrity eliminated. Surging from its lead-in to win its first hour from 9:00-10:00 p.m., "DWTS" beat Fox's "House"-boosted "Fringe" and CBS' debut of "The Mentalist." Building audience at 10:00 p.m., "DWTS" bested the competition in the hour, including season premieres of NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" and CBS' "Without a Trace."
* "DWTS" qualified as the most-watched TV show on Tuesday (and for the second consecutive night) and finished as the night's No. 2 program in Adults 18-49, behind only Fox's "House." It was also Tuesday's highest rated show with Adults 25-54 (6.0/14) and Women 18-49 (8.1/18).

I told this to ap in a PM, but I'll put it here. Cloris is reaching out to AARP to appeal to them to vote for her. As we know, AARP is a very active voting block.

Here are the scores from last night (delayed as a result of my obsession with Rabbit's geography challenge):
Lance/Lacey C 7 L 6 B 8 T 21
Misty/Maks C 7 L 7 B 7 T 21
Maurice/ Cheryl C7 L 7 B7 T 21
Brooke/Derek C 9 L 8 B 9 T 26
Cloris/Corky C 6 L 5 B 5 T 16
Toni/Alec C 8 L 7 B 8 T 23
Warren/Kym C 7 L 7 B 8 T 22
Ted/Inna C 6 L 6 B 7 T 19
Cody/Julianne C8 L 7 B 8 T 23
Rocco/Karina C 7 L 7 B 7 T 21
Susan/Tony C 7 L 7 B 8 T 22
Kim/ Mark C 6 L 6 B 6 T 18
As expected, Jeffrey/Edyta was eliminated.
Well, the top score was again from Brooke/Derek, followed by Corky/Julianne. Teams on the bubble now are Cloris/Corky(who I predict will be eliminated on the results show tonight), Kim/Mark adn Ted/Inna. Ted is definitely in hot water as there are legions of fans supporting Cloris and Kim but few for him. It was nice to see Susan Lucci fight her way to a better score; ditto for Rocco di Spirito.
TARAsia Fan:
I'm going to say Ted McGinley is going to go.
