I am wondering about Chaz's ability to do lifts. That may become an issue later on. Testtosterone does make you stronger to a degree, but its not like going thru your development years with it.

I know lifts are a bit of strength, and a lot of leverage, but the strength comes in the transition between lift and ground.

I hope we get to see.

This is fun, the group dance!

Chaz and Lacey / Phantom of the Opera

Anyone else getting a little sick of the judges snarky comments regarding body size/shape, etc - not just with Chaz, but they've done it to Hope too....

Dominique 10-25-2011 07:47 AM

Hope and Maks dance/ Maks vs Len in argument
 

Dominique 10-25-2011 07:53 AM

How about JR and Karina??? ( I think they will win it )

Had to go and look at Ricki's number. She and JR are definitely the ones to beat IMO. They look so much more smooth and comfortable than everyone else. Chaz looked better, but they're still very simplistic compared to everyone else. Still, he's done a great job to hang in this far. Although the judges are very much looking at technique in ways the voters don't, I still feel like they're being harsh on Hope. Her athleticism is being penalized. When you're an athlete of that caliber, it's hard to let go of what you know and how you move.

As for the other three, I don't give three hoots about 'em and didn't even bother to watch. I can't wait until they're voted off soon.

I totally agree. and it seems like Len is getting worse every season! Granted, they are "judges", BUT, I think they sometimes forget that they are judging amateurs , NOT professional dancers. Sometimes, the pros get so frustrated with the judges and rightly so. This season, imparticular has had some of the best celebrity dancers yet. The competition is tough. I hate when anyone gets voted off.

Don't mind the "constructive critisism" that, if followed, will help a dancer get better - but in what world would Bruno's comments to Chaz make him a better dancer? Pisses me off.

Chaz says goodbye.
 
"I took so much away from this," Chaz Bono said after getting the news. "This was an amazing journey that really pushed me and showed me that I could do so much more than I ever thought I could."

"I came on this show because I wanted to show America a different kind of man," he added. "I dedicate everything I did to all the people out there like me, especially the kids and teens who are struggling. You can have a wonderful, great life and be successful and happy."

WTG Chaz! Incredible! I'm proud of him as I'm sure lots of people are. He did a great job.

Rockinonahigh 10-25-2011 08:45 PM

I hate that Chaz is gone,I really looked forwards to watching him dance cause every week he got better.He did what he set out to do and did it with grace and charm.

princessbelle 10-25-2011 08:49 PM

I didn't watch tonight.

I just knew it would be him to go. It breaks my heart.

But, it also makes my heart shine.

He stood before everyone and said "Here i am, deal with it".

Both good and bad comments...still it made them all see him and take notice and started the hard conversations that are stepping stones.

I am proud of him.

Very proud.

I know a lot of people feel like we do about the judges,its one thing to give your opinion,but when it becomes name calling and degradeing thats not being a pro its being an ass.One thing for shure the way the judges have been has dimed my likeing for the show.

Mel C. 10-25-2011 09:19 PM

I don't necessarily disagree with the judges, but I think they need to work on their delivery a bit. Being in a competition doesn't mean that people have to put up with the insults. Feedback should provide an opportunity for improvement. Every person on that stage is brave and deserves to be treated appropriately.
I am very annoyed by the way Chaz and Hope have been treated.

I thought everyone was great this week..in their individual dances and the group dance. Everyone seemed to be having fun.

AtLast 10-25-2011 10:58 PM

I am going to miss him!!! I was not suprised- had a feeling this would be his last week, but, wanted him on a few more!! He has improved and what I saw was that he just became more and more comfortable up there. Plus, I liked how his partner, Lacy, interacted with him.

Both Carrie Ann and Len bother me in how they give feed-back. Carrie ann has been an ass to Hope Solo and Len's comments- really directed at Chaz's size have stunk. But, he seems to do this to everyone. Bruno is a good judge in terms of balance between constructive criticism and letting the "stars" know what they did do right. He also points to dance technique directly.

I think Chaz accomplished a lot in doing this show for transgendered people and it was a tough go for him out there. I say, KUDOS, Chaz!!

SelfMadeMan 10-25-2011 11:26 PM

Sad to see Chaz go... but I think he did a wonderful job. He put so much effort into his dancing, and was improving every week. He did the trans community proud :)
The judges, on the other hand, are asses. I never watched DWTS prior to this season, and now that Chaz is gone I don't think I'll watch again. I hated all the snarky, rude comments about size/looks/weight. The show just isn't my cup of tea.

I record the show and fast forward through the judging most of the time. It's much more palatable to me that way. I love watching the dancing.

At the very end, I was happy to see the genuine love that surrounded him from All the other dancers, ~~ especially the way Nancy Grace stroked his face and hugged him. It was the love and approval from his peers that was beautiful.
