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.

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!!!!

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

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 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!

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!

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

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

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!

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!
