Chaz on DWTS

Dominique · 10-05-2011, 11:25 AM

I know DWTS is a reality TV show. It is the only one I watch. Lacey Schwimmer, Mark Ballas (The pro voted off last night) and Derek Hough are VERY good friends. Lacey was the first person to come to Mark. You can't help but think this causes people to be torn. It's all about the ratings, this proves it. It also proves how strong the LGTQ community is. Essentially, our votes are keeping TWO SUB PAR DANCERS on the show. Chazz, as Kat F stated....his BRAVERY, but his point is made.....and Carson (He did show up this week) but last week (?) hope the politicians are getting the message.

AtLastHome, just to clarify ...this is a show that is loosely about dancing and much, much more about a popularity contest for ratings. I know it's presented more as a dancing contest, and the dancers really do get better for the most part the longer they are allowed to remain. However, it's all about the vote. And I don't think the shows producers are above creating controversy to keep ratings high.

Chaz and Carson have to be huge draws from the queer world, and I'm sure they are drooling at the thought of Momma Cher coming on the show. They get all kinds of celebs on there anyway (Courtney Cox, Kim Kardashian... just two of the ones I've spotted in the past few weeks. Oh, and mini celebs such as Solo's teammate Abby Wambach).

I know you'd like to see the best dancers remain on the show, but that's seriously not going to happen. It was always this way on American Idol. Somebody good always got knocked off way too soon. It stirs controversy and cranks up the ratings, typically.

And I totally agree with you on the hotness of Hope Solo. She's definitely improved, and I don't think she has to "walk more feminine" to show she's getting better. That said, there is a big difference between the grace of an athlete and the grace of a dancer. The grace of a dancer seems to be associated with femininity, and that seems to be what the judges think Solo lacks. Major BS, in my opinion, but that's how it comes across to me.
