OK, and I'm back and up to speed courtesy of youtube. LOL
I didn't see everyone, but I checked out my faves.
Agreed, there were moments when Lacey just danced around Chaz, but that's very typical for the first couple of shows as dancers are learning. I saw it with several other couples, too. Chaz looked very enthusiastic and did pretty well to my untrained eye. And holy cow, if those are basic dance steps ...

Hope Solo was hot and boy was she baring a lot of skin. Interesting to note that the one thing she covered up was probably washboard abs. LOL I also saw what appeared to be an ESPN interview with Solo before the announcement with Maks saying he wanted to be partnered with her. They asked if she could dance. She was like, "I can barely walk in high heels."

I LOVED Ricki Lake. She looked so beautiful.

I thought Chynna Phillips was also graceful, and she seemed to do a lot more on her own as a dancer, which was impressive.

I feel sorry for Rob Kardashian's partner. She looked like she was twirling a big ol' mannequin around the dance floor. He was stiff.

That's all I've seen so far.

It made me cringe that Nancy Grace had the best pro lead/instructor!!

Now that I think about it- has there ever been a same-sex couple on DWTS??? This is the first time I have watched it.

The judges gave him good reviews, I thought. He can do some moves- have to see what happens as it get more complex. Or, does it? They actually were doing simplistic steps and turns with a lot of glitz via pro choreographers. But, I think it went well for Chaz.

Chaz is a Man, they are not a "same-sex" couple. If Lacey had been dancing with Hope then yeah, I would say same sex. (f)

Enjoyed the show...i actually almost missed it. I was happy Chaz was last so at least i didn't miss him. I saw Ricky Lake too who i've always admired.

I was proud of Chaz. It was apparent he was very nervous but i'm sure they all were.

I've said this before, He may not be the exact representative that is needed in the Trans community but at least it will get people talking, good or bad. Acknowledging and discussing things in life is a good start to understanding and accepting.

Hang in there Chaz. You did great!!!!

That. Apparently DWTS has said they will never have a same sex couple on the dance floor, regardless of the sexual orientation of the dancers.

I watched last night just to see Chaz. He did a lot better than I thought he was going to. Especially when they showed how fatigued he was during practice. Good for him :) BTW Hope Solo=hoootttt :D

Amber2010 09-20-2011 10:22 AM

I watched it last night and Chaz did such a great job at dancing.
I am not sure what it will do for the community but I think
it is going to be great watching him.

Cher reacts to Chaz Bono on 'Dancing with the Stars'
September 20, 2011 12:20 PM EDT
Chaz Bono took the stage on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars, but where was his mom, Cher? Everyone expected to see her sitting in the front row, cheering for her son, but she was nowhere to be found. Well, that's not entirely true. She was on Twitter.

"WOW ! HOW GREAT WAS MY SON? 'THE GREATEST THING, GREATEST THING, GREATEST THING NO MATTER WHAT! WHAT! WHAT!' HES A WINNER ! I Was So Nervous (sic)," Cher tweeted after Chaz danced an impressive Cha-Cha.

Chaz Bono wasn't alone by any means, as the audience looked on, thoroughly entertained by his dance with Lacey Schwimmer. His longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Elia, was in the crowd, cheering loudly and getting emotional as she watched her guy make a bit of TV history. He is, after all, the first transgender contestant on the popular ABC show.

While there is no explanation for why Cher wasn't there rooting for her boy, she certainly was watching him. She tweeted her love and asked her followers to vote. Perhaps she will make it to the ballroom next week to watch because, despite the controversy, it seems many people fell in love with her son. And he deserves to have his mom cheering him on from the sidelines!

Now, Can't wait to see the outfits, male and female for the rest of the season.

Positive comment so far today that I have seen.

No straight people threw tomatoes, or booed , and the audience was very supportive and standing and clapping.

Nobody on TV has said ABC should be shut down..and It looks like all that Crappy shit that was being said by the media and the outsiders is no longer flooding the airways.

The_Lady_Snow 09-20-2011 07:38 PM

I thought it was really sweet of Harry Connick Jr to give Chaz some props like he did!

The_Lady_Snow 09-20-2011 07:44 PM

Yay!
 
Chaz is safe!!!!!!!!!

I don't think A.L.H. said that Chaz was IN a same-sex couple. I think she asked if a same-sex couple has ever been on the show.

Chaz did really well! I was pleasantly surprised. And Carson cracked me up! :)

Shadowboi2010 09-20-2011 08:59 PM

YAY! Chaz is going to the next round!

This is what I got from ALH's question too. After all, she's never seen the show before now so there's bound to be questions about how things were previously done.

Good for Chaz!

Leigh 09-20-2011 10:32 PM

Go Chaz Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy 09-20-2011 11:07 PM

I got the moves like jagger.. Ha ha omg Carson cracked me up!

Just_G 09-20-2011 11:47 PM

I think the reaction of Chaz's peers on the show when he was announced as moving to next week was awesome! Did you see them all rally around him and how excited they all were for him?

I was sitting here watching that and I got a smidge choked up. I think it is amazing to have the kind of support he has gotten....no matter what the critics against him might say, I think there is wayyyyy more support than not.

I just think this group of people will all be very supportive of each other. You have Chaz being the first transgender dancer, David Arquette who has battled addiction and is now 8 months sober, J.R. going through thirty-some surgerys after being burned over 40% of his body...because he was serving our country in the war.....I think there are so many great stories behind the cast this season, and I find them to be so inspirational!

I love this season and can't wait to see how it goes!

Hollylane 09-21-2011 08:41 AM

I am so happy for Chaz, JR, Ricki, Carson and David! All my favorites made it!

I think JR is really just the most awesome person, I loved the missing ear jokes!
Carson's flirty thing with Maks is hysterical! His brother Val cracked me up when he commented about just wanting to be in bed with his shirt off, that is so like his brother!

I have to say as a long time fan of this show, ultimately I will vote for the best dancers. They all work so incredibly hard!

DTWS was watched by 18 million viewers...the lowest viewed season opener ever of DWTS by 25%. :(

2 1/2 men received 29 million, their highest season opener ever.

ALH said what was said in the middle of talking about Chaz...began the post with Chaz, ended with Chaz. Maybe it was a wandering thought in the middle of the post, but it needed to be clarified darn it, and I am just the buttinski to do it!

That surprises me.

Does make me sad as well.

They missed a good show...by ALL the contestants. Still 18 mill isn't nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully it will go up from here.
