So who is your favorite pairing of the season? And who do you think will eventually take home the top prize? Let us know in the comments section below.
Dancing witht the Stars was one of our favorite shows until now. Why oh why would the show cast Chaz Bono? Of all the people in the world I know you could have come up with someone that has not done what he/she did. It is immoral and wrong, wrong, wrong to have someone like that anywhere near the public. Probably will not watch until he has been voted off; prayerfully before the show even begins. Negative publicity can’t be good for the show but maybe it will teach you NOT ta cast such peeople in the future. God is not happy with this decision you have made. Think about that alot. God will have his say in this situation. God Bless!!
I didn’t realize you were the spokesmodel person for GOD? I think ABC/DISNEY made a WISE and valuable decision for placing Chaz Bono in the spotlight on their #1 rated show. It speaks volumes how people’s and television’s views are changing through tolerance, acceptance and above all, God’s love.
To the Lupos….get a grip on reality.Do you personally know God ? Did he tell you in a conference call that he isnt happy with the cast of Dancing with the Stars? Dont you think you could be worrying about things that are much more important that a reality tv show???? Maybe instead of watching the show you can study your Bible alittle more close3ly and PRAY on it. You call yourselves Christians? You maybe religous but far from a Christian. God calls us to love one another. “Judge not that Ye may be judged” “Ye without sin may throw the first stone”. Sin is sin no matter how big or small….you posting slanderous remarks is sin. And guess what GOD DONT LIKE UGLY…and your thoughts and perception is UGLY. May got have mecy on your heart so then you can truly become a Christian.Until then you may just want to stay out of the public ’cause you are just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! May my God who is merciful and good Bless you!
I completely agree with Chris…who made you the official spoke person for GOD. It certainly is your right to voice your opinion. I applaud ABC/Disney for allowing Chaz to be on the show and I am looking forward to watching the show with all the celebrities. If you don’t want to watch then don’t. Last time I checked GOD created everyone equally and he LOVES everyone no matter what their orientation is.
I find the first comment hilarious. I never knew DWTS was considered christian television seeing as how its full sexual innuendo and very unrighteous stars. So is it ok to conduct yourself in a lewd and improper manner as long as you’re not a homosexual.
You should pray to God to forgive you for being judgmental, since thats a sin. And also to give you the knowledge that a lot is two words.
I love that DWTS has Chaz Bono on the cast. If you give him a chance, you may find an articulate, thoughtful individual who has been through an amazing journey. Perhaps we can all learn something through his struggles.
I’m sad people still judgmental, wake up haters its not there fault God create us with love and he will love us no matter what gender, it doesn’t matter if your men, women, gay or lesbian. I applaud DWTS for opening the door to those people who they called abnormal, sad because its 20th century we still labelled people of who they are instead of accepting them as “normal” what is normal by the way? spread the love.
Our family will not be watching the show this season.
Oh, no people, Tom’s family wont be watching the show! whatever will ABC do with that one TV set being off?
oh, and the Lupos, so make that two.
Grow up.
I have not been more excited for a fall line-up than this one.
Can’t wait to see everyone attempting to shake their booty, and master it at the end. Because that is what it is about…
Entertainment.
I love this show but I don’t understand all the bickering up here between the rest of the people who commented. It’s so unnecessary to attack one another. It’s simply childish. You will either watch it or not. While I don’t agree with Bono’s lifestyle choices, that’s not for me to condemn. I think Bono is very brave to have gotten up in front of millions of people who were so against this.
