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.

Kirsties feet moved way better then Kendras's. Personally I don't care who wins I just love watching the show. Those who hate will alway's hate whether someone is fat or it's a religion they don't like or work in a profession that's debatable. I say live and let live.

Kirstie has some things Kendra lacks, one is a personality and two is the ability to put herself into a situation and bring the very best of herself and her wonderful sense of humor to the front

@BOB are you one of those shallow live on the surface guys who never see what is beyond the surface of something or someone?

By Claudia

Kendra??? really? no talent at ALL, of course Kristie can tromp her butt, her and her dumb horse laugh

By Betty

Kendra doesn't fit in with the quality of the other contestants.Call her when you have porn star on review.

By lorenzo

the finals kristie ally and ralph macchio

By Amy

Lets see who will I vote for?? Kirstie-a single mom-struggled with her weight-middle aged like myself. Or Kendra-blow up doll Kendra-famous for bangin a man old enough to be her great grandfather-famous for being naked-posing naked. Not to mention when she laughs I run for the mute button on my remote. Think I'll go with Kirstie-who did surprisingly well I thought.

Ms. Wilkinson get a case of the "nerves" dancing? This from a person who has made Porno movies and lived with an 80 year old goat. She has no self respect, why should dancing bother her.

she is nervous because she has to dance with her clothes on..lol.. also she is amongst people of a higher caliber talent pool, then she is used to. she has to prove her all around moxy, then just depending on her t & a to get by with..the airhead ho is not so stupid to realize she is out of her league...why is a former stripper on the show anyway? I thought Disney owns the station, Walt must be rolling over in his grave..from Disney princesses to Hef's hoes..
that's entertainment (sarcasm implemented)

I think Kristie was awesome, and Kendra was ok. I like both people and I am a Female but between the two Kristie was the better dancer. She has alittle more Rythmn.

I'm sure Scientologists will be jamming the phones to vote for her. Just like the tea baggers did for the other chunky woman.

By JUDY

Go Kirstie. Maks finally got to dance all out for the first time in a long time. They were GREAT!!!

By mlpgh04

Kirstie is great, but vote for smiling HINES WARD!!

By mw

Yes, Hines is getting my votes too. His smile lights up the whole room.

By Gia

Kendra puts too much sex appeal into her dancing. She isn't that great of a dancer. She won't last long. Kirstie will go longer on the show.

By ssh

Kendra, this is a family show so stop acting like a hore and bragging about having been a stripper.

By pilobytr

Kirstie- you're in the wrong contest. The Nathan's hot dog eating contest is over at Coney Island every Fourth of July:
you'll be a more formidable opponent there! A dancing contest is clearly Kendra's domain.

You people need a life to speak of someone with a weight problem. And you have a selfesteem problem butt munchers.
