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.

Kendra isnt going to worry about who is jealous of her or if they dont like her dating a much older man in her more youthful yrs. She isnt going to fret over any of you! Anyone can name call but she's just fine, married, happy and works hard as she can. For anyone calling her a skank? Look in the mirror.

Not too many women I know are jealous of a washed out pole dancer. She is no beauty, nothing to be jealous of here. I guess the girl needs the cash.

By damien

Can the fattie beat the fake skank....is that what the headline means?

By Olivia

"Agile and Athletic"? Is that the new phrase for dirty ho these days?

By rcarol

I have to be honest--initially I wasn't rooting for Kirstie, but after seeing her dance, she has the right stuff to make it to the finals and possibly be the winner. She's unrestricted, confident and has a great partner. On the other hand, Kendra appears to be inhibited by being a former Hef girl and not doing much more than talking and walking. There are some people who just CAN'T dance, she may be one of them. Too stiff--better on the pole.

Kendra has no talent. You can't win with no talent.

Whale watchers take notice. It's Shamu or is it Sham-moo?

Kristie was much better than Kendra. Go Kristie I wish you all the luck. Do it for us age 60 women.

By Brenda Goodman

I've got to say, I was shocked at how light on her feet Kirstie is. She's pretty huge but she's a good dancer, and I've always loved her irreverent personality. Go girl!

By travlynlady2

Kirstie is very honest about her life

By D. Middleton

Why is everyone promoting that Kendra girl? She is just a no-talent skank who slept with Hugh Hefner and got artificial boobs. Kristie rocked it!

The promo made Kendra in her little shorts look like a great dancer. But she was a disappointment..

I think kirstie looks great fo 60. And she certainly can dance. I am beting on Kirstie.

By MacD

Must give Kirstie credit, if I were a plus size I could not do that, she is up there showing others that it can be done regardless of size. Go for it Kirstie.

By Rosi

By anon69

Am I the only one who thinks Kendra is on the low end of the IQ scale? I mean to look at her face-she just looks vapid, like absolutely nothing is going on in her head.
