Dancing with the Stars

Insult comic Jeffrey Ross was the first casualty of Dancing With the Stars last night. The eye-patch-wearing "Roastmaster General," who garned the lowest score on Monday's season premiere, was booted from the A-B-C show. Ross, who wore the patch because he was poked in the eye by partner Edyta Sliwinska during rehearsals, summed up his pathetic dance moves by saying, "I'm more ha ha ha than cha cha cha."

Swimsuit model Brooke Burke again had the night's highest score, impressing the judges with her Quick Step. And again old-fogey Cloris Leachman got plenty of laughs but few points. The 82-year-old actress, who pleaded with the judges and viewers to keep her on the show, received the lowest score, a 16.

The night was highlighted by a number of redemptions. Chef Rocco DiSpirito, who had the second-worst score on the first night, shocked the judges with what Carrie Ann Inaba called a "super sexy" Mambo. Soap star Susan Lucci, who mustered only a 15 Monday, improved to a 22 -- the night's third-best score. Another star will be eliminated tonight. -- James Aquilone
