Dancing with the Stars Premiere Recap: Thank Goodness for Cloris Leachman

at .

On a night where the highest combined score for a Dancing with the Stars tandem was just 23, an 82-year old former Oscar winner saved us all from boredom.

Indeed, here's a quick overview of the seventh season premiere of this reality competition:

  • Highs: Cloris Leachman (pictured) trying to seduce high marks out of the judges via a bit of leg and cleavage flashing; Julianne Hough looking like Julianne Hough.
  • Lows: Comedian Jeffrey Ross earning a 12 for his Cha Cha with partner Edyta Sliwinska; yes, a 12. Total.
  • Middles: Everything else. Every tandem earned combined marks between 12 and 23, with less than half the pairings garnering over 20 points. No one stood out as an early favorite.
