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

I agree with everything you said about Chaz , but I love ballroom dancing and I will continue to watch , because JR is such a inspiration and I want him to win .

I personaly think the judges need to be changed after so long judgeing the show,its like they have an iron clad contract or something.Carrie ann isnt to bad,but Len is a dipstick who has sort of been there to long and lost some of his objectivity...Bruno...oh hell I would like to tell him a thing or two about being a classy person but it would got over his head.

yes , judges should be replaced . CA is suck up whoever she likes and her drama with tears is annoying . Len is the old school which is fine , but this is entertainment show , not professional competition and Bruno is disgrace to gay community .

I feel the same way about Bruno being imbarrasment to the gay community.Its bad enough we have to deal with the ashats in the straight world but when we do things to hurt eachother,in a real world we would like this would be true but we arent there yet.I often wonder if his masculinity feels chalenged by Chaz in some way..it shouldnt but u never know.

Snipped> Maks has spoken *out of school* on behalf of other partners. As a lesbian, I find Maks very attractive and professional. He has spoken about what some see as a lack of sexy-ness on Hope's behalf *You can't fix what isn't a problem* Hope summed Max's outburst up perfectly, when you work so hard and closely as a team, it's good to know your team mate has your back. Max pushes Hope hard, perhaps harder than any partner he has ever, due to her strong athletic back ground. (he did request her as a partner) Unfortunately, they may not finish on top,(do to the popular opinion) but Mak's has helped Hope learn things about herself she may have never learned, with out this opportunity on DWTS. I also think he has learned some things about his style........

Max does push Hope, as he pushed all his other partners. But, look how much better Hope danced after training with someone else last week (or the one before I cant recall) she improved incredibly. I think Max pushes to hard at times, and is borderline abusive. I adore him, I want for himto get a win finally, but I dont see him getting one with Hope, JR is just to good!!

Good for you that you as a lesbian find Maks attractive . I wish that I as a lesbian could do the same . Maximum what I can do , I find bio male handsome and I am not saying Maks is not .
Maks rightfully defended Hope and spoke the truth about judges Unfortunately , he had no support from other pros whatsoever except Lacey to a certain point . They all benefited from Maks's outburst . For the past two weeks it's obvious they excluding they vile comments as they said to Chaz . Some others pros were rushing to judges to let them know they do not share the same view as Maks ,for example Karina.
I agree that Maks pushes Hope hard and even being abusive to her which I am including a link for you to listen what Hope had to say about her relationship with Maks. The way I see it ? they don't have chemistry that is important to they performances . They clash . JMO .

In addition , which star did not learned about them self after this competition? It looks so easy on dance floor , but in reality it's completely different story .

DWTS fans I am getting ready tune into ABC to watch the show . If anybody is still interested in the show not into any attacks into opinion , please post what do you think ?

thanks

V

we are ready for it!

I totally heart Ricki Lake.

Ok , I want JR to win so much , but being objective he didn't have a good night . Ricki done really well , so Hope and even Rob .

Now , we will have to wait until tomorrow , but if JR goes home it will break my heart :( This is the only show I watch and we will see what happen .

It was sad to see Hope talking about her father . It really got me .

I so want JR to win, and he didnt do as well last night, hopefully his ankle will heal quickly! I am ready for Hope to leave. rob has totally won my respect, he has improved so much, I like Ricki, but its all Derek, he can make anyone look good, yes, she has to ahve some skill, but his is an amazign choreographer, and thats what they get scored on.

JR al the way for me!

I am with you Peach , I feel the same . I am just hoping that JR will get through tonight .

I do not dislike Ricki , but she had a previous experience which none of others had and as you stated she has Derek for partner which it say it all . He is amazing choreographer indeed and he can bring the best out his partners .

I love Jr & Riki, but feel that Solo continues to be the brunt of catty, anti-female athlete remarks on the show. And it is obvious that Carrie "judges" her negatively on some kind of "this is what real feminity is" scale. Frankly, I understand max's anger. Frankly, I am sick of the high marks given to Rob, especially because Hope Solo is a much better dancer. No, she is not the best and I expect either JR or Riki to win it and can see this. One of them should. And I think Rob Kardashian is a nice guy and has improved, but Hope is better at technique and musicality. Rob is stiff and many of his blown steps are never pointed out by the judges, never. Solo's fluidity is quite good. But she is not part of the Hollywood celeb crowd, now is she?

It was interesting to see what Hope Solo has lived in terms of her father and being abducted by him as a kid. She sure didn't have an enchanted childhood! Throughout the competitiion and actually when I have watched her play soccer, I have always though there is deep sadness in her eyes. Now I know why.

My guess is that Hope will be out tonight and this really bugs me.

Hope was not the weakest link...oops, wrong show.

part of me was sad to see her go, but at the same time, the other dancers WERE better than her. she was neve going to be as graceful as the pro females, but she shouldnt have been expected to be. I am still all about JR winning.

I forgot all about this thread :(

It was pretty much given that Hope will be the one . It was all over Internet that she was sorry loser WHAT ?
After everything she has been trough ? I don't blame her she didn't want to talk about it and have all kind of interviews .

So Monday are the finals and I am just curious if will be JR or Ricki . Now , if is Rob , I know Kardashians took over the planet Earth .

she was kinda a sore loser. she hasnt been through anything more than say, Jr, or the others to make her more deserving etc...they are all deserving. her dancing had improved, but not enough, and to tell the judges they can kiss her ass BEFORE she even got her scores was childish at best. Even Maks was trying to make her stop, sort of. robs dancing has improved, way more than hers had, but he still isnt as good as the other two, but you never know, he could pull it off, but I am still all for JR!
