I had stopped watching other years primarily cause I don't like the judges comments however this year I also usually fast forward through them.

What I have enjoyed seeing this year is I'm not quite sure how to word it .. the people that stereotypically might suceede at this aren't necessarily the ones, they have been the first to go.

I thought it was time for chaz or david arquette to go. Although I was really hoping it would be arquette. I'm sorry it must be his skinny ass making the judges think he's dancing ... cause I've been watching his feet and they haven't been much better then chaz's ... just easier to hide I guess.

I also thought it was cool how rickki lake and nancy grace were motherly to chaz at the end.

Oh no, I just heard :(

It was sad to see him go but he did a good job.

Well, she's his mama and she will protect him from bullies. Chaz is lucky to have that kind of support..it helps lessen the pain that all the jerks try to inflict. I love me some Cher...and some Bo

Is still anybody watching DWTS even since Chaz is gone ? I was obsessed when Chaz was on and so proud of him and thankful what he has done for our community . I can't even imagine how much stress was there for Chaz .

call me biased , but as a soon he finished dance I had two phones in my hand and voting then I went to abc.com .

However, I am still watching this season , because I admire JR with such a positive attitude and as a good dancer even after what he had been trough .

Anyway , just curious.

I watched this week- wanted to see how Hope Solo is doing. She made it into the semi-finals.

I thyought Chaz did really well throughout. I miss his being on! Go Hope!

I'm just not a television watcher. News, and some sports. I do, however, watch dancing with the stars. I watch it because I love to watch the dancing. The true purpose of the show is to take non dancers, push them through their comfort zones, and make them into some kind of dancer.

I have no opinion of the judges, or the popular opinion. (popularity contest). Heinz ward, last seasons winne,r was not a good dancer, but popular, and ending up winning.

I have loved watching Nancy Grace grow. She is 52 years old, and never once did she complain about her about her body hurting. LOL, she had some issue with her comfot zone expanding. I grew increasingly more fond of her each week.

Hope Solo has done an amazing metamorphosis. Damn, I think she's sexy.
I doubt she'll be able to beat out Jr, or Ricki. But for sure she's far more
talented than Kardashian. I hope to see her make the finals.

I do wonder how much the ratings have dropped now that Chazz and Carson are no longer dancing. As we know, it's ALL ABOUT THE RATINGS.

Placing bets...
 

Same here Vlasta, and Hi lady how have you been? (f)

I did the three votes for Chaz. I wished he had better wardrobe, things that would have made him more comfortable, which I think would have helped him. It's all about the wardrobe. ;)

now I vote for Hope Solo, the female jock who has come so far.
I guess JR has all the military votes, and Hope has her sports fans.

Predictions ~ JR to win,
2nd. Ricki Lake
3. Hope
4. Kardashian

I'm still watching. I've been watching DWTS since the initial air. It was great seeing Chaz on there this season, as well as the others. I enjoy watching every year and seeing who is on.

You wrote word for word what's been going through my mind.

I was very anti-Nancy Grace in the beginning, but I did finally admit that she had made progress. The transformation they all go through is quite impressive.

I think you are spot on with this, Tommi. However, the Kardashian vote could get the little do-nothing dipweed ahead of Hope.

Agreed! I'm glad she has moved on.

OK, I admit, Nancy Grace kind of grows on you. I would not have voted for her and surprisingly, she provided the comic relief (wardrobe malfunction and passing gas). Still, she gutted it out.

I would like to see Ricki win it, but I think JR has a lot of momentum.

I haven't been winning the battle for the remote the past two weeks, but I've been keeping up.

hi everyone , I am happy that I am not the only one still watching DWTS . I just like this sport and as a young which these days for me is antique I was very much involved in a ballroom dancing .

Tommi I am fine , hanging there and how are you ?

As for DWTS ..... I was exited when Chaz was on and I voted faithfully every week . I was so proud that our community had voice regardless all the haters , FB pages and disrespect calling Chaz she ....on different boards , I have to be honest I was foaming out of my mouth . Chaz was not the best dancer , yet he was improving every week . Just thinking what hy went through , I am boo hoo femme and when I saw Cheer I was boo hooing with her . Moreover, I felt from beginning many people voted for Chaz from our community , but as time went on I saw last support on his FB page . I don't care he wasn't best dancer , but many people voting for they favorite and not by performance , but popularity .

Other thing what was upsetting was Hope , continuously telling her she is not sexy , etc . She is beautiful and she is athlete . I was happy when Maks finally opened his blunt European mouth and defended her . How rude was to call Chez penguin , ewok and even other contestants in the past . Many people want him off of the show due to disagreement with Len.To heterosexual women Maks is very attractive and he has been on the show for a long time , maybe he is tired , needs time off or scene was staged who knows , it's all about the ratings .

I am not sure if I will be able to answer all the posts , but I will try my best .

I think JR should win just because he has no dancing experience and people are saying his ego went up . What ego ? He is so supportive to everyone on the show and yes he is happy for his progress . You always see him congratulate to others and his positive attitude is awesome . he is inspiration many of us what he overcame in his life and he is still so positive .

Ricki , yes she is doing great , yet she has experience , even when was 20 years ago and Derek is a great choreographer which is enormous help to her . Obviously , she wouldn't got role back then if she was stiff at age 20 . She has natural talent to dancing . Advantage !

Rob , I am not a fan of Kardashians , I never watch they show , but to be fair , Rob came with whatever attitude and he made progress in dancing and taking show seriously . I dislike when Kim on the twitter posted his number and stated it's number to Justin Kid . I think that's was very low and dishonest .

Nancy .... I really dislike her , she was GA prosecutor and so many complains on GA Bar and lawsuits settlements against her . I can't watch her show , because she is so arrogant regardless her claim how she fighting for children . She rock up 15 mill + just on Casey Anthony case and she had a great advantage since on HLN every night was a phone number to vote for her . It was good for Tristen since he is new pro and very nice , but I am not sure how did he handle her all this time . She should been gone way before Chaz , yet since she donating money to missing and abuse children , she wasn't vote off for a long time . It's honorable on her part , but this is a dancing competition . Nancy has many other ways to raise money than this way .

ok , my hopes

JR wins
Ricki second
Hope third which is wishful thinking since Kardasian clan make sure that Rob is in finals .

It's always some surprise ..... we will see .

Ive been watching the show since it started,this season isnt as star studed as it usely has been.I was really sorry to see Chaz go cause he tryed hard to get into the danceing,bytime he was voted off I think he got relaxed and improved a whole lot.
JR will prolly win this time,Ricky might by a slim lead but JR lights up the place with his personality and drive just a bit better than Ricky because he is a natural dancer.Hope is doing really good,I just wish the judges would get off this kick about her alethasim(?) being a stumbling block for her,danceing was something she had done little of if any.Dipweed(gotta love it) is there because of the name,plain and simple.I hope(no pun intended) he gets the boot next week..

I do agree with you , thanks for reply to this thread . I must said something wrong since you are the only one to reply . I am thinking it must been about Maks . Many people were upset and find him rude and disrespectful to the judges . However , how rude are the judges to certain contestants ? Especially to Chaz ? They wanted ratings and ask to Chaz to come on show . He took it as a man that he is , worked hard just to be humiliated by judges with inappropriate comments . For the past two weeks it appears to me , judges cooled down and I feel it would be good to have another judge on the show . I am looking for Monday and see what happens . I will not even denied I want JR to win and I will be voting like crazy .

I doubt u said anything wrong,sometimes I dont even anser some of the post cause they hit the nail right on the head.
Another judge would help tone down some of the snaggy comments plus may balance out some of the points given cause I have notices the judges didcusing the points to give,heck I thought its was a judges right to give the points he thinks he should give not ask the other judges how thay should vote.

TEAM CHAZ
 

I loved to watch Chaz make great strides with his dancing career on DWTS. I will not watch it again because I feel he was cut down by the judges and made a fool of at the last dance. He had just started to gain the much needed confidence that would have made him great!

LOVE YOU CHAZ !!!!!!!!!!!! xo Love a Big Boy: !:cherry:xoxo
