Dancing With the Stars inexplicably graced my television set yet again last night, but boy am I glad it did — something magical happened thanks to the producers' decision to make the contestants perform a group hip-hop routine. Cloris Leachman, the 82-year-old who has managed to stick around without doing much dancing at all, was obviously the most entertaining, but soap opera queen Susan Lucci also made me chuckle quite a bit. And my former boyfriend Lance Bass busted out some old school *NSync "Bye Bye Bye" moves (yes, I knew the dance, don't judge).

Despite the awesomeness provided by the contestants, I was left speechless after the routine had ended. I didn't want to talk about what I had just witnessed, because I'm still not sure exactly what the hell happened.

Dancing With the Stars has yet to really excite me, despite the fact that my former lover Lance Bass is still in the competition, but after tonight the show will grow even less interesting thanks to the inevitable loss of Cloris Leachman. The 82-year-old has been one of the most entertaining contestants of all time, despite the fact that she's far from the best dancer in the competition. In honor of our dear Cloris, here's a clip of her dancing the tango last night and channeling a "skanky ho" (her words, not mine). Her stuff starts at the 5:00 mark and continues in the clip after the jump, where she gives co-host Samantha Harris a mild heart attack.

We'll miss you, Cloris.

Last night was the first time I sat through Dancing With the Stars, and let me tell you: American Idol it is not. I could watch Ryan Seacrest lead me through that nonsense five nights a week, but I can't imagine watching this ballroom competition on a regular basis for the next few months. The only thing keeping me around is the promise of future husband Lance Bass, who is also being wooed by his partner, So You Think You Can Dance alum Lacey Schwimmer. After dancing the cha cha, she confesses that she once believed Lance would marry her. Pshh, please.

And after the jump, my second favorite contestant, Cloris Leachman. Who knew the 82-year-old would inject some life into this drag of a program?

Behold the beauty of Dancing With the Stars' future champion, Lance Bass. We're pretty sure he's pointing his fingers and smiling with his eyes, which can only earn him extra points from the judges. Seriously though, we have a feeling it's going to be a battle of the divas this season: Susan Lucci, Cloris Leachman and Kim Kardashian are going to be tough competitors; the first two because they're awesome and the last one because she's a famewhore. Hopefully America will prove us wrong, but we've stopped expecting much.
