"Dancing with the Stars'" oldest competitor of the season, Tom DeLay, resigned from the show Tuesday night due to stress fractures in both of his feet. "The Insider"'s Samantha Harris asked the stars and pros if an age limit should be imposed on the show.   Dancers responded with a unanimous, "No." Mark Ballas said, "Dancing has no age." Past "Dancing" competitors have been older than DeLay and avoided injury. Louis Van Amstel recalled, "Priscilla [Presley] was 62. She did it. It was no problem." Anna Trebunskaya posed the question, "Cloris Leachman did it for how many weeks and she was 80-something years old?" Donny Osmond is sad to see DeLay exit the show because, he realized, "I'm now the oldest dancer." He joked, "It doesn't matter. I dance like a 15-year-old." One of the youngest competitors this season, Louis Vito, projected that, "When I'm old, I don't want anyone telling me what to do." He continued, "Age is a number. Who's going to tell you that you're old or young?" Everyone recommended that the show should take precautions to prevent injuries by subjecting the stars to physical exams and choreographing routines to be sympathetic to any conditions they may have. Additional padding can also be added to the shoes to comfort the feet. The stars that remain standing will show off their next dance on Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC.
