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

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.
