A person in her 70? Let's just say I have my doubts.

Florence Henderson looks wonderful, but she's almost 74 years old. The thought of her doing those grueling dances scares me!

Oh man I already am starting to sense the age argument as a reason to keep her 7 rounds

Geez Louise. We've already started the next obsession. LOL!!

Florence is awesome, but after this season's talent base, I think any future contestants will have to be a step up from "okay".

So, how old is Wayne Newton... George Hamilton, and the guy from Cheers last year. They've had older men on the show, just not an older woman.

Now THAT would be some good dancing, Who! Although, I can already see the massive arguments about her being "professional" because, while it may be mostly on ice, she is a dancer and has tons of training. A lot of skating is dance on dry land for practice. Kristi wouldn't be like Apolo since all he did was go around in a big circle. lol.

Kooklie, I think Jane was supposed to be the "older" woman. So was Leeza last year. I know. Shocker that Hollywood would consider 50 to be old.

Well 50 is old for an athlete and these dances are athletic.

Bee, Leeza turned 50 during her time on the show. They played it up as a big deal that someone "old" could dance.

Double standard again between women and men. A man in his 60's or 70's is distinguished. A woman is just old.

If a person is athletic all their life and in shape, age would not really matter in dancing. (spoken from someone in the Leeza/Jane Seymore age range!)

I'll avoid the question of double standard for the moment, but I have trouble envisioning a man in his 70's lifting, holding and spinning a woman over his head. Not impossible, of course, but none of the older guys they have had on the show have remotely come close to being able to do that.

It's interesting, my inlaws and my parents were the same age. Now matter what age they have been my parents always thought their age was 'young' and were very active. My inlaws always thought their age was 'old'.
My parents always looked at least 10 years younger.

IMO only some men in their 70's are distinguished. The rest are just older, just like their female counterparts. For that matter, some women in their senior years are distinguished, and I think Florence Henderson is one of them. That doesn't mean I'd want to see her do this show, though. We saw how stiff Leeza and Jane were. I think the oldest woman to be able to keep up with the younger dancers was Lisa Rinna.

If they did a senior edition, perhaps with only the smooth dances, then it might work.

More "possibles" for 6. I don't think they will though.

Reality Blurred

Chris Harrison host of the Bachelor -- wants to but says ABC won't let him because DWTS leads in to his show

Paige Hemmis from Extreme Makeover Home -- she says not IF but WHEN because of her schedule

Corbin Bleu from High School Musical -- BUT he doesn't think they will let him because he has 2 years of ballroom dance training.

Why is it such a big deal if they have had some kind of pro training? I really, really, really don't get it. They are still learning new dances etc..

Angelic, the show has been promoted as celebs with no dance experience being pitted against each other. That's why people think the contestants shouldn't have formal training. I agree with it.

I personally don't care if they have some formal training.What I care about is seeing my 14 year old watching this show and loving all of the beautiful ballroom dancing.She learns from this show to keep trying and not give up.If it takes having someone she loves(like Corben Bleu) on the show for her to watch,then I'm all for it... 8-)

well, Wayne Newton & Jerry Springer are in their 60s, but I do think the women have it tougher.

and obviously Wayne & Jerry did not dance very well, but were considered 'very entertaining.'

i would be worried about Ms Henderson throwing out her hip or something
