Dancing With The Stars Complaint - Dancing With The Stars Complaint

People are voting for who they want to see on the show. The only people to blame are the people voting.

While Chaz Bono is probably a terrible dancer, he is probably good-looking, which is what the ladies and few males voted on. (No I dont watch the show)

The show is what it is, like American Idol and that ilk. It is your neighbors who make the decisions, not qualified judges, for the most part.

The show isn't a popularity contest, and it's not a dancing competition. It is a reality TV series based on teaching people to dance and staying popular with the viewers. While it does make for entertainment, it's another manufactured concept that doesn't require writers to come up with stories.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying the show (I do myself sometimes, especially when Lacey is on) but take it for what it is.

->MRM You are SOOOOO wrong! Chaz Bono is not a good looking anything. Google is your friend.

Posted by MRM on 2011-10-05:

Then why the heck is he voted? Theres something wrong with this picture! (Again, I dont watch the show)

I guess people are fascinated with a transgender celebrity.

Wally, Bristol isn't on this season. Oh wait, you mean Chaz

My belief is this show, like all "voting based" reality shows have the outcome manipulated by the producers. Witness several winners for American Idol and the like over the years. It all comes down to what will generate viewers during the season and/or will help them capitalize on the winner after the show is finished.

It's all about ratings and nothing else...and those people you mentioned brought viewers that would most likely not have watched it the show didn't have them...let's not forget Jerry Springer and Cloris Leachman...each season they put on someone that is going to be the 'shocker'.

I will be so happy when reality shows are a thing of the past.

Posted by MRM on 2011-10-05:

There are some good reality shows out there!

Man vs Wild
Dual Survival
Sons of Guns
Storage Wars

Posted by justcuz on 2011-10-05:

Dual Survival is a good comedy. I love how Dave always makes fun of Cody, but again it is not an accurate portrayal of real life situations.

Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-10-05:

I enjoyed the first couple seasons of The Real World...back when it used to be real.

Puck...LOL!

What about Top Shot? Actually, Chaz was ugly as a woman, and the change did not make her/him/it any more attractive.

Posted by Venice09 on 2011-10-06:

I think one of the reasons Chaz made it through is because Cher said she would be in the audience if he was on next week.

DWTS is not just about dancing ability. It's a combination of personality, endurance, perseverance and progress.

These competition shows are rarely about the best talent. But in the end, the right person usually wins.
