Can Feisty Kirstie Alley Out Dance Athletic Kendra Wilkinson For 'DWTS' Coveted Mirror Ball Trophy?

By Emily Hall Posted Mar 26th 2011 10:00AM

Although comedian-talk host George Lopez compared actress Kirstie Alley, 60, to a pig when describing her "little hooves tapping away" (he has since apologized) on the debut of ABC's latest season of 'Dancing With the Stars,' her fiery cha-cha was dazzling, earning 23 points from the trio of judges.

Meanwhile, agile and athletic Kendra Wilkinson, 25, let her nerves get in the way of what should have been a stellar debut. Even though the reality star has fan support and the spunk of a professional hoofer, her antsy cha-cha with professional partner Louis Van Amstel disappointed the judges to the tune of only 18 points.

"Kendra will come back full force because she has the raw talent," a friend of Wilkinson's tells PopEater. "She just needs confidence and practice in this style of dancing, which is still new to her."

With the help of partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, however, Alley could continue to surprise the judges and viewers. With her chirpy attitude and multiple weight loss sagas over the years, she has proven she can meet substantial challenges.

Alley is eager to succeed on 'Dancing,' which she describes as a prelude to doing a Broadway show. "I'm doing this as a challenge to see how far I can push myself physically and still live," she quipped during Monday night's episode.

And on last night's 'Tonight Show,' she admitted to Jay Leno that she was happy to have Chmerkovskiy as her partner. "I have to say that's who I wanted," she admitted. "And baby gets what baby wants."

Sexual tension does wonders!

Hot, hulking and demanding, Chmerkovskiy can intimidate her into doing better each week. Plus, the more she dances, the more weight she is likely to lose, and her energy level should skyrocket.

Listening, Kendra? Feisty and competitive, the athlete in Wilkinson is still there. She just needs to work on acquiring the elegance, style and etiquette of romantic ballroom dancing.

High Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

Not all Jewish women are so lazy, their unlazy enough to nab, wed and take Jewish men to the cleaners!Kirsty is in the worldwide spotlight that FORCES HER TO DO WELL, DIET AND SNAP OUT OF HER OLD HABITS! SHES TOO OLD TO GIVE UP NOW. She'll prove, "I can dance, and I'll lose weight to be HEALTHIER."
I dont care who wins, who has implants or whose a better dancer, Im just like the fun show! Go Kendra, go Kirsty, and just entertain us. I like them both!

I could care less if Kendra was Ginger Rogers reincarnate, I'd still not vote for someone who's only a bleep on the radar because she served her body up to Playboy's head honcho.

By kc

no, Kirsty isnt more talented; she just may have a better teacher! Max is briliant as a dancer and he EXPECTS her to keep up! as he should....Kendra is an athlete and can do anything! if she's voted off, its because the majority of woment, wouldnt vote for her because their either jealous of her or dont like her. Both are wrong! its not her fault others eat themselves into LARGENESS...and others didnt have Hef and an ex. Kenra is prejudged..Im vote for Kendra (whose also honest!) and you'll notice that in any of her shows. She hides nothing and no reason to.

By damien

Honest? she whined and cried bout the sex tape...then we find out she getting paid....so dont make up stuff cause she gives you a hard on

By rudewaitress

let's call a spade a spade...Kendra's a card-carrying ho-bag, plain and simple. why would any woman be jealous of that? is she supposed to be more respectable just because it's hefner who's been pimping her out? they asked her to dance because the show LIVES for controversy. it's the only thing that keeps some of these shows on the air. right mr. trump?

Kirstie Alley will win the trophy this season. However, I do hate Maksim,he is very arrogant and egotistical, not at all a Gentleman, rude and bullies Women.He thinks he is handsome and hot, and I personally think he is nothing. But I like Kirstie and because of that I hope she wins. Maksim willl not try to bully her, Kirsie knows exactly how to knock him down and put him in his place.Kirstie also has a big fan base, so with or without Maksim, if she had a different partner, she would win. So, Maksim if Kirstie wins, it is not because of you. So leave your ego at home.

By New York

If Kirstie wins it will be mainly because Max is an excellent teacher. I think Kirstie will tell you that herself.

By ajschrod

If huge boobs are a dance impediment, they BOTH have two oversize problems-- Maybe Kendra can drain hers!

By Max the Midget

Ohhh Kristie!! I need a little meat with my meal. When I have something stuck in my teeth is when I'd pull a Kendra out of my pocket.

By doneldathomas

Good Luck to all..But hoping that Kirstie wins!!!

By YellowRose3218

Kendra is a nasty woman, shes not fit to lick Kristey's shoes.

In my opinion Kendra isn't even in the running. Kirstie did great. Go Kirstie!!!

By Rumba

Kendra is simple not as good as Kirstie this far. Her body is in better shape, but she does not have the dancing ability. She'll have to work hard if she wants to improve. Some things require effort, and Kirstie is willing to work.

By superduperh8r

Did they say "outdance" or "out-eat?"

By georgeann checke

Go Kirstie, I knew she would be entertaining but I didn't know if she could dance. But she was great and I will vote for her each week! From one 60 year old to another, Show'em what we "old" folks can do!!!!!!

By josephine

YES!YES!YES! Kirstie you go girl. Kendra is too washed out. So sick of that old stripper booty move. Go home Kendra!!!! You wanted to be the mother and wifey. All you want now is the single girl life. Too bad you ruined it.
