Even with these prosthetic knees, I can't imagine what it would be like to try to *dance* with them, let alone before they were fixed. I staggered around with a cane for 2.5 years, before my surgeries, chewing Vicodin, because the pain was so excruciating and yet, I had to work. I had/have a house to pay off and no one is going to do that but me!! Let me tell you, extra weight is just murder when you have bad knees. He has my support and admiration, though, for even trying this!!! That takes chutzpah!!!

I still can't dance. I never have been able to, really....well, there were those times when I used to drink.... :thinking:

I just hope he doesn't keep on until he's really done some damage to himself with all this. It's not worth it, to either him or his fans. He doesn't need to "prove" anything to anyone. He has already "proven" everything he needs to prove to the most important person of all.... himself. :winky:

He certainly has my 150% support, whatever happens. :thumbsup:

Yup- agreed! Kudos to him!

I'm not behind him continuing if he can really damage his knees though.

What I am having trouble with with DWTS is that none of them are really doing the job in terms of technique. Ricki Lake probably has done the best with this. It is so Hollywood glitsy. But it looks like a lot of people like it- but it not really a serious dance program. I never watched it before this- I wanted to learn how to vote so I could support Chaz as a queer.

So did anyone else get the feeling that Chaz wasn't really into it tonight? Or is just ready to go home?

He is suffering from knee problems, his mom sent PT's to help him out.

Shadowboi2010 10-03-2011 08:17 PM

I can relate to that. I've had both my ACL's replaced and I can't imagine doing all of that.

Yeah I think his injuries are getting to him.

Oh damn. I missed it. :blink:

J. Mason 10-03-2011 08:53 PM

I think you can find recaps online, not sure.

The thing I have a problem with DWTS is also the technique, plus also the music they choose for each of the dances rarely fits in any way at ALL with the dance itself. Not saying that the timing of the music to the steps isn't choreographed, but they are always choosing a modern, oftentimes pop song for more classic ballroom dances. Something that the masses will readily recognize.

My last partners' family is in the dance business. They have taught ballroom dancing for decades, and own several studios around the country. A couple of her family members actually go out to CA each season for the show, and get backstage with all the dancers.

Missed most of the show last night, but went and youtubed Chaz's performance. Definitely better with a slower type of song, but the fluidity is missing. I'd like to see him hang on for at least another week. I'm definitely enjoying Ricki Lake.

Leigh 10-04-2011 02:48 PM

I agree that I'd like to see Chaz for one more week but I'm not 100% sure that anyone else in the group right now is worse (since he is at the bottom this week) so it'll be intriguing to see if he sticks around ....... I want him to stick around as much as possible but our votes will only get him so far!

I'm absolutely LOVING Ricki Lake and J.R. plus last night Carson killed it :D

princessbelle 10-04-2011 02:56 PM

I was all about Carson last night omg he was fantastic.

Ricki is my fav though...wow she is just so eloquent.

Those two are my favs.

I love Chaz being there and getting as far as he has and i voted for him.

I just don't think he can go much longer, the knees being the main reason. He just can't move very much. Not his fault and i admire him getting out there and trying no matter what people said. As one of the judges said...it says a lot about his character.

Horray for DWTS!!!!!

Rockinonahigh 10-04-2011 03:35 PM

As a hearing imparied person have learned to read body language pretty good,especally peoples faces,I dont think Chaz was in as much pain as he seemed like he was very sad,I know this show was about things that have impacted ones life so remembering his father was really hard on him.

PinkieLee 10-04-2011 03:41 PM

I think that Chaz is doing good... not great. It is about the dance afterall. I am happy that he has been able to stay on for another week... and it's great to see him so determined to do well. I really hope that his knees allow him to improve his skills.

Hands down, my favorites are JR and Ricki.

My honey... she's pulling for Hope Solo ;)

~Bo 10-04-2011 06:58 PM

Cher said that if Chaz makes it thru this week, she's coming to the show next week to watch him dance. :clap:

Hope she said that before the voting. That will motivate people to vote for Chaz. LOL

Me too ... I really thought he would go this week.

J. Mason 10-04-2011 07:49 PM

I am glad he is sticking around, I hope Cher does come to the show.
