WOW he had no room to talk as he could have gotten he boot just as easily.

 You don't kick someone when they are down. How would he like it when he gets the boot?

Barbara got 14 points TO got 15 so I wouldn't talk about anything unless *I* was maybe

 Jordon Nikki or Vanessa.

So I hope he is next out.

 'Dancing with the Stars': Terrell Owens Needs an Attitude Adjustment
Tuesday, September 26, 2017

If there's any reality show that makes its contestants look as good as possible, it's Dancing with the Stars. No matter the reputation of a "celebrity" outside the show, while they're on Dancing with the Stars everyone comes off supportive, optimistic and kind.


This is what made it so surprising that in the second night of the season, Terrell Owens was so incredibly negative and frustrated with the whole process. He even went so far as to throw fellow contestant Barbara Corcoran way under the bus. TO might be known for running his mouth and speaking his mind but on Dancing with the Stars he needs to turn around his attitude -- and quickly. 

Terrell wasn't exactly wrong with his comments about the scores and that he was better than Barbara. TO was scored just a little bit unfairly and his cha cha was certainly more than one point better than Barbara's stilted salsa. No one exactly needed to be told that was the case, however. Everyone who watched the Dancing with the Stars season premiere knew that Barbara wasn't long for the competition based on her dancing skills (and her creepy, predatory jokes directed at Keo didn't improve the situation). 

TO's comments were nothing more than (proverbially) kicking someone who was already down. It might've been honest but it was also mean-spirited. Way more mean-spirited than Dancing with the Stars is usually, too. 

Things didn't get much better with Terrell in what was shown from his practice sessions with Cheryl. TO was whiny and downright miserable during practice which led to the rare instance of Cheryl bringing out her verbal whip and morphing her partner into shape. It's not the type of behavior that anyone wants to see from a Dancing with the Stars contestant, even if any opportunity to see "tough Cheryl" is usually worth it. 

Dancing with the Stars typically has this infectious air of fun about it. For the most part the rest of season 25's cast fits into that mold. Everyone is having a good time and supporting each other. Even someone like Nick Lachey , who is clearly uncomfortable dancing, is putting on his bravest face and smiling. Terrell, so far, is an angry wet blanket for the show.

It is true that TO and Cheryl's first dance of the second week was a marked improvement over the first. In a way, all of Terrell's whining and sniping could be seen as "worth it" because his dancing skills are moving in an upward trend. This doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the show.

It doesn't "count" if Terrell's dancing skills improve in each dance, if his behavior doesn't follow suit. The judges' scores are only part of what keeps people in the competition. If TO doesn't start becoming a lot more likable, he's likely going to be watching the rest of the season from home. 

It's far more entertaining to watch a goofball like Drew Scott , who can't really dance but is having fun, than someone like TO, who has the potential to be a great dancer but is an utter sourpuss otherwise. 

Do you think TO needs to change his attitude? Were his comments about Barbara and the scores out of line? Do you think it's refreshing that someone is being honest and not just supportive?

Dancing with the Stars season 25 airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC, with a special episode airing on Tuesday, September 26. Want more news? Like our DWTS Facebook page!
