So, week one is done, and overall I was pretty impressed. I thought Chynna Phillips was the best. Nancy Grace or Ron Artest should go home go home. Chaz did OK, but it's hard to see him doing well on the more difficult dances. But, you never know.
I liked Hope Solo and David Arquette. Oddly, I am aware that Carson Kressley was not good, but he was very entertaining. I hope he lasts at least a couple of weeks.

The worst were Nancy Grace and that Kardashian (sp?) guy. I really liked Carson's energy and feel this might be a season of real competition. As for Chaz? He/She was okay.
Hope Solo and Maksim make such an attractive couple, it was almost hard to notice their dancing.
Piss off a fundie- vote for Chaz!
I hope Chaz goes a long way, and becomes a Bristol Palin for the liberals. Hmm, I call Hope as champ.
I actually didn't think Nancy was that bad. She seems to have rhythm and can move her body. I think she'll get better as she drops weight. Shes already lost 10 pounds. Plus she has a huge, rabid fan base.

You're right. Her weight is a problem in her moving with any sort of grace. The same can be said for Chaz. Sorry, my votes are going to Carson.
I just voted six times for Chaz, and six times for David Arquette (for free on the DWTS website). My favorites never win, so that's them cursed.
I watched the Hell's Kitchen finale, but turned on DWTS to get the numbers at the end. I voted for JR Martinez. He's such a sweetheart, and I heard he was 2nd on the leader board.
Ricki Lake won my heart and vote last night.
I thought Carson was the worst dancer by far. Yes, he put on a show but technically, very clumsy. He might stay on a long time because the judges like the presentation.
Nancy Grace was pretty good, but I couldn't stop staring at her because she doesn't look anything like the woman who is on her tv show. I can't figure out why?
I liked David Arquette and I guess Chyna Phillips was the best technically.
I loved how they saved Chaz for last. He really seemed to be having fun. Liked him!
I hope people can separate Nancy from her TV persona. Yes, she's a blowhard, but most of that is posturing for TV-from back in her law days. She's actually got a great heart and is a huge advocate for kids and crime victims. I like that she is taking a chance and going in a completely different direction. That has to be damn scary.
" He/She was okay."
Seriously, Dolly? HE! No need for your snide, trans-phobic remarks on here. The bigotry surrounding his brave decision to transition in the public eye is disgusting. Especially on a place as seemingly open minded as BroadwayWorld.

I'm going to have to pass on this season because the cast doesn't interest me. Ratings for the show, however, dropped 24% from last fall's premiere. I guess the show thought Bono could bring in ratings like Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin, but they were wrong. Also more people were interested in Ashton Kuthcer's debut on "Two and a Half Men."
'Two and a Half Men' ratings huge! Ashton Kutcher debut delivers series high
I was watching The Sing-Off and completely forgot about DWTS...oh well.
I think that Mr. Bono is very brave. I hope he can help not only transgender kids, but anyone who thinks they are different.
I thought he was cute.

I AM open-minded. From what I've read, Chaz does not have a penis or testicles. In my mind, that makes the person rather androgynous. S/he seems to be a woman passing passing herself off as a man.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
You're wrong.
Chaz is a man, as defined by what's on the inside, DESPITE what his body indicates.
Ah, I discovered why Nancy looks so different. It's the nose job. She looks great-less severe.
Its surprising to see that Elisabetta Canalis is safe; I'm really curious as to her fan base. Even though I can't stand Rob Kardashian, I assumed his sisters have enough fan base and tweet power to bring in more votes than her, the same with Ron Artest and Laker fans. Nancy Grace being in the bottom three wouldn't suprise me other than the fact that Elisabetta is safe.
The results are taped the night of the main show, right?
No. They are live for the east coast.
Oh, thanks. I thought it was just "as live".
Still too early for me to root for anyone. But not too early to be jealous of Derek Hough's hair. I want every style they give him.
