After her dance Leachman received her comments from the judges. She threw her leg up on Bruno's side of the table and he kissed her calf. Len was flustered by all the cleavage she was showing and told her "I always wanted to be a toy boy." Carrie Ann had Leachman sit on her lap while she commented on her being a true "golden oldie." While backstage receiving her scores she gasped "oh sh*t" when Carrie Ann gave her a six, then called Len a "bastard" when he gave her a five.
