Chaz Bono has begun rehearsals for 'Dancing With the Stars.

The season's

full lineup was just announced earlier this week, and Chaz, the show's first transgender participant, has been attacked on Twitter for participating. Mom Chercame to his defense against "stupid bigots." What’s your opinion on this. The shows already got a Homosexual. Do you think Sonny is smiling down, or up on his beautiful daughter?

Everyone is falling for it.

 

Personally, I don't care. I never watched the show simply because I think it's stupid. A dancing bearded lady isn't enough to draw me in.

 

Adding Chaz is a classic producer's trick. Controversy = high ratings. If people are talking about it, good or bad, it will draw in high ratings. The premier and the finale are the two highest rated shows of the season. Get high ratings for the premier and you're more likely to get high ratings for the finale.

 

Controversy = Ratings = Money. Chaz is on the show not to push an agenda, but to make the network and producers money. Wait and see, this premier will be one of their highest rated shows.

Nashbama is right, it is all for publicity and ratings. Bristol Palin got the same kind of response and really, does anyone think she is a star? Famous for getting pregnant as a teenager and that is about it!

 

It is a dancing competition (which I don't watch) so what is the big deal about who participates, regardless of their gender, sexuality, etc.

It's not falling for anything. It's no secret they'd do whatever to have high ratings, there's not one show that doesn't do that. I've never seen the show and they'd have to do a lot better than chaz, the kardashians (why are these people famous???), whatever, to get me to watch. I doubt I'd even know about these reality shows if they weren't always putting articles about them on the yahoo homepage. Skippy, do you even watch the show? If you do, what will having chaz on there do to you personally?  I guess what I'm asking you is why you have a problem with the way this person lives their life? I'm not trying to be mean, I would really like to know why.

 

I guess I don’t have a problem with Chaz or anybody the way they live their life.

My problem is with all the crappy so called reality/ talent shows that are taking over the programming of the networks and cable television. No I don’t watch them. I understand why their on because of the ratings. I’ve got nothing against Chaz personally, but I do dislike the freak show that television is becoming. I know that’s the way it is, but I just lone for the good sitcoms and informational programming that is slowly fading into the sunset. It reminds me of the 70’s when the all-mighty game shows ruled. Jeopardy the exception.

Jennifer, I come in peace.

 

I have a question for you. You seem to think it's perfectly OK for Chaz to be what and who he is. (And I agree with you.) The Republican party for the most part, is against *** rights. I know you're a Republican, and I know that, as a Democrat, I don't go along with EVERYTHING my party believes. So my question is, where do YOU stand on things like *** marriage? Is this one of the things you disagree with your party on?

 

Thanks.

skippy, for once I agree 100% with you. Maybe we've found some middle ground here. LOL
