Has DWTS Jumped The Shark?

Gleb Savchenko, Sharna Burgess and Henry Byalikov leaving DWTS rehearsals. Three dancers that I love to watch. I took the opportunity to discuss with Henry about some of the main issues fans of Dancing With The Stars have had with the show such as Chaz Bono, unfair pairings, judging controversies and DWTS drama.

DWTS Alumni Chaz Bono Announces Weight Loss Goal

DWTS Alumni Chaz Bono is on the media circuit announcing a weight loss goal of at least 50lbs. Chaz will be documenting the journey publicly on the show THE DOCTORS over the next year. I wonder if Chaz will be forthcoming on the medication that has been prescribed for the ongoing transformation Bono has been going through and their effects on his body and mind. Has the hormones and various other medications caused Chaz to eat more and put on more pounds? Is Chaz Bono also dealing with depression and taking medication that is also wrecking havoc on his metabolism? These would be interesting topics that could be discussed openly instead of just having a boring show about a "celebrity" obese person (like most Americans who overeat and don't exercise).
Chaz Bono was one of the most controversial contestants on DWTS. It got to the point where people were vehemently for or against him being on the show. Also it became a derisive discussion on whether Chaz was a she or a he because technically, Bono never had the total reassignment surgery and it made people question if a person claims they are a certain sex is it true because they say it or untrue because biologically the facts differ? I'm sure the DWTS Producers were happy with the extra publicity they received with Chaz on the show but I wonder what ramifications Chaz Bono being on the show actually had.? Was it a positive look at a member of the Transgender community or was it more of a freak show to get attention? Why couldn't Chaz wait to do the show after he was more fit and healthy? Why show the worst negative male stereotypical behavior such as the infamous photos of Chaz walking without a shirt and dancing with his fly opened?
It also seems that one can't have an opened conversation about the whole Chaz Bono issue without being accused of being unfair. But the questions still remain and if you are going to use the media as your platform, then real questions are going to be asked as well as one's motives questioned and not just accepted blindly.

Bristol Palin Proves "Life Isn't Fair!"

Hey, I've been so busy shooting photographs and videos as well as editing, plus working my other job that I've been too spent to update my blog. Until Now! Like the song says, "I'm only human...of flesh and blood I'm made." Imagine my surprise when I was informed that Bristol Palin with the help of Mark Ballas survived another week on DWTS All Stars. Bristol Palin proves several:

• Like minded people help each other (by voting aka giving their support).
• Sob stories work.
• Being a white young single mother is OK if your privileged while your political mother speaks against Planned Parenthood and Sex Education to the masses.
• One can be less talented at a position and still remain on the job
• If you have a high profile family member who will sit in the audience at DWTS, you are more likely to stay on than if you don't.
• Being famous for immature decisions and having no substantial talent if you are from a Privileged Class is an acceptable norm in these reality TV show times.
• Getting plastic surgery, loosing weight and becoming like a "Stepford Wife" is a sure sign of joining the gang in Hollywood
• The Producers of DWTS love to irritate the fans of show by having people like Bristol Palin and Chaz Bono on and on and on. They know that disliking someone causes an interesting reaction by talking about them which I'm unfortunately doing it.
• Lastly, Palin proves without a doubt LIFE IS NOT FAIR!

I could go on but I have a ton of work to do. Here are a few video clips of Bristol Palin at DWTS All Stars Rehearsals.

Chaz Bono: Dicks Are Expensive!

I wanted to title this story Chaz Bono - Falling In Love With Dick but I settled on the one above instead. I have gay male friends who LOVE women's breasts. They are Fascinated by them although they say they are not attracted to them they want to touch them and oogle them. I find it a little bizarre but I wonder if Chaz and people like (him/her in transition or lesbian) feel the same way about penises? It becomes almost a fetish but who knew a penis was so expensive? Considering so many dicks are running around Los Angeles and seem to be working for free. Anyway, the jokes write themselves but according to a story from Rolling Stone that several other media sources have piggy backed on, Chaz Bono is saving up for a penis. The cost runs between $25,000-$45,000. You know I complain about a vibrator that costs $100 with all the bells and whistles. It vibrates, it spins, it hits the clitoris and the g-spot. But I just can't get with spending a $100 or more on one, even though it comes in PURPLE. So thanks Chaz for putting it in perspective. $100 for a pulsating, vibrating and g-spot hitting climaxing purple vibrator is chump change compared to what you want to get. Maybe someone will start a donation fund or better yet a reality show will pay for the expensive surgery. Chaz is finding out what every one who falls in love with a dick knows, "Dicks can hurt, sometimes they don't work and they can be very expensive!" On the flip side they can be very, very good - when they work right! Hopefully Chaz Bono will get the top of the line.

Chaz Bono Finally Voted Off Dancing WIth The Stars

As I said earlier on my twitter, Chaz Bono should go. Dancing With The Stars is a DANCE COMPETITION not a nepotism feast. But alas life is not fair when one becomes an adult one realizes that fairy tales aren't true and are used as sedatives to keep you moving and believing in life. I wonder if the ratings will spike now that Chaz Bono has left the dance floor? There were many outraged fans of the show that said they were protesting by not tuning in. In fact the numbers for DWTS have dropped. But something tells me that the closer it gets to the Mirror Ball finals, the ratings will be back to a higher point. That being said the look on Lacey Schwimmer's face lately showed the tension and the sadness of a teacher whose pupil wasn't measuring up.

Schwimmer did the best that she could but she realized that she had done all she could. As a fan of dancers and of the show, I know how hard it is to learn the dances and perform them in front of an audience. It takes courage, talent, memory and a bit of luck. As for the show, Chaz Bono's luck may have run out but he used Dancing With The Stars for his platform and in some regards it worked. His LBGT agenda was out where everyone could see it. I wish however that Chaz chose a more opportune time to do the show. If he would have waited to do the show when he was stronger and in better shape, Bono probably could have done more complicated steps and actually lifts which would have been a more dazzling display of his "manhood". "Walking/Dancing Like A Man" is more complicated than just skipping on the dancefloor.
