For you ATLAST, I expect to see your comments. You know how I feel! HAWT!

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.

Paulina Porizkova: Chaz Bono Has 'Dancing With The Stars' Sympathy Vote

First Posted: 10/19/11 10:01 AM ETUpdated: 10/19/11 10:12 AM ET

Rumored to be returning to reality TV in Donald Trump’s "Celebrity Apprentice," Paulina Porizkova remembers how painful it was to be voted off "Dancing with the Stars" first and has a shocking theory about why a beautiful girl will never win the Mirror Ball trophy.

“I was the first one to get fired. But I also got fired from something else, didn’t I?” Paulina jokes, referring to her exit from her "America's Next Top Model" judging gig. "Let’s put this down as a fact, we were number four on the scores with the judges. I was clearly just the least popular person there."

It’s true that neither Kate Gosselin nor Bristol Palin were any better dancers than Paulina, but they all lasted in the competition much longer thanks to the audience voting them back week after week.

“Yeah, she was not a dancer, but she was popular,” Paulina says referring to Bristol. “Yes! I want to be popular. I was unpopular in school, did the whole round circle and now I am unpopular again. ... Haven’t you noticed that the ones that always go first are models, unless they are fat. I just think that people figure that if you look good and you already have it made, why should you do that? But it gets sympathy. If you are attractive, you don’t get sympathy and you need sympathy to be truly likeable.”

So what does she think about Chaz Bono?

“He’s got a good sympathy vote, that’s for sure!” says Paulina. “In order to be the best, you have to be mediocre. You have to have a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and meet in the middle.”

But Paulina's theory doesn't quite hold up when it comes to Brooke Burke's season 7 win and Nicole Scherzinger's season 10 win. Hopefully Paulina has better luck on "Celebrity Apprentice," where the only person making the decision is a man who certainly appreciates a beautiful woman.

For my entire interview with Paulina, check out HDNet's "Naughty But Nice With Rob" Thursday evenings at 8:00 pm.

He is so much more relaxed! Some good booty shakin'! Loved this week's clips with Lacy's Dad working with him. Sorry to see Carson go.

Mel C. · 10-20-2011, 10:14 PM

The last two weeks have definitely been an improvement. I'm hoping that recovering from the injury and getting support from fans (including his lovely mom) have given Chaz the confidence boost needed. He has plenty of reasons to be proud.
