Chaz on DWTS

I thought Chaz showed some improvement this week, which is why I gave him 3 of my 8 votes.

I think Carson really wants to dance, but has 3 left feet. Sometimes, just for an instant, you can see how much he is hurt by the judge's comments. He has had to develop a tough hide through the years, and he seems to hide his feelings behind the goofiness.

I don't usually watch these shows, but I have been following Chaz's performances, simply because I want to cheer him on!! It's not every day a person sees a guy like us (transmen) put himself out into the public eye, opening himself up to criticism and cheering, alike. I want to be part of the cheering crowd!!!

I have to admit, I really enjoyed watching the show this week, not just because of my desire to root for Chaz, but also because I really dig that 80's music. I don't think they could've possibly found more danceable music than what was popular in the 80's era. My favorite tune of the night was the cover of Spandau Ballet's "True" . How well I remember that wonderful song, and I think Nancy Grace and Tristan McManus did a wonderful job with it. It brought back those magical evenings I had, myself, dancing to that song with a lovely Lady in my arms. (thanks, Allison!!

)

Go Chaz!!! Great performance!!!!

I love 80's music. I still listen to it, most of the time. DWTS is one of the very few TV shows I watch, other than the news. By the time Chazz and Ricki come on to dance, It's way past my normal *go to sleep* time so, I usually have to stand up, to stay awake to see them dance (silly, I know)
Well, when Ricki and Derek started out that fox trot with a Rodger Rabbit, I flashed back to my clubbing days. (keep in mind I was 99% asleep) so I broke into my own rendition of Rodger Rabbit.....thinking it may have looked more like the DiGiorno pizza guy it took me forever to learn how to do that. Apparently I didn't remember it forever. I woke up this morning with a head ache and have had poor concentration all day. No doubt from shaking my brain around doing the Roger Rabbit incorrectly.

Kudo's to you Nancy Grace...even though it wasn't you doing the Roger Rabbit...you are out there as a middle aged woman giving it a fair shot. And lets not forget Kirstie Alley

lol.

I don't have TV channels/cable, so I watch them every Tues during lunch online.

It's the only show I follow....

i'm not a dwts watcher. ive only watched the clips. what i have followed is chaz.
he is smiling courage. he has totally embraced who he is. i wish that for every one.

as far as hope solo and maks, i don't care to watch whatever they are trying
to accomplish behind the scenes. it's not working for me. silly. but i don't guess it has to.

if the judges/whoever feels she can't relax and lessen the athlete inside her,
maybe they should have paired her with a woman. it seems like maks wants this to be about him, and it's not. i really think he would sling her off the stage if he could get away with it lol. they are trying to do too much. slow it down a tad and they might get a more femme hope. that's what they want, right?!?!

As a woman with muscles, but I am not built like Hope Solo, nor am I as young as her. Sporty women don't know what people are talking about when they critique our walk. Maks actually requested Hope. He wants to win, and he knows that Hope has that drive. I loved her comment *I don't like any man telling me......* i/e Len, one of the Judges. Hope is still playing soccer, and Maks is traveling with her, and they are dancing in between soccer work outs and games. That's sort of why he dragged her away from those comments implying she doesn't work hard enough. Maks' knows she does.

This is why I love this thread, this television show in theory, is about who is progressing the best and ultimately becomes the best dancer. But as we keep seeing, week after week, it's really all about the ratings. Carson and Chazz have been out right terrible as far as dancers go. But Queer nation
has come together and kept them both on the show, and really both are sub par. We've seen far better leave.

We all love Chazz (and Lacey) for all the right reasons, and week five, (last night) was really the first time he actually danced. It was also the first time I saw him look comfortable and happy.

I have a feeling Chazz will stay tonight. But this may be it for Carson. I'd love to see Kardashian go. I'm shocked week after week, at the inflated scores he gets from the judges. Maybe they really like his Dance pro Cheryl Burke.

Who knows, Carson and Anna made two pretty nice appeals to Carsons' fans?

Thanks for the vids. I'm a football fan, need I say more. Chaz has improved immensely he doesn't look like a cherub in tiny shoes any more.
