Dancing With the Stars Results: The End of Chaz Bono?
After a tense week on Dancing With the Stars that saw Maksim Chmerkovskiy call out Len Goodman and raise new questions of favoritism, who got the chop Tuesday?
With J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake sitting pretty at 29 points, the other five dancers were pretty much all in jeopardy heading into the dreaded DWTS results show.
Last night saw Maksim Chmerkovskiy man up and apologize for his comments Monday, but would that be enough to save his partner Hope Solo from elimination?
Was last night the end of the line for Hope, Chaz or Nancy?
Of the top seven celebrities remaining, J.R., Ricki, David Arquette and Rob Kardashian were safe, with one of the three couples now watching from the sidelines.
Chaz Bono had the lowest score of the week, with Hope not far behind. Did one of them get the heave-ho, or did the slowly-improving Nancy Grace fall from it?
Follow the jump to find out ...
Chaz Bono, despite a very strong run this fall, has been sent home.
"I took so much away from this," he said. "This was an amazing journey that really pushed me and showed me I could do so much more than I ever thought I could."
"I came on this show," he continued, "because I wanted to show America a different kind of man. And I know that if there was somebody like me on TV when I was growing up, my whole life would have been different."
"So I dedicate everything I did to the people out there like me, the kids and teens who are struggling. You can have a wonderful, great life and be successful and happy."
"You get all 10s for that, my friend," said classy host Tom Bergeron.
So after all the controversy, Chaz Bono went out on top, although prior to the results show, he had some criticism of his own for the judges the night before.
"We were upset, not with the scores but with the comments toward me personally," Chaz said of Bruno Tonioli's likening him to a cute, fluffy penguin.
"We thought we did a good job. The judges always have a favorite or two," partner Lacey Schwimmer added. "We are just not that couple this season."
"For Middle America who knows nothing about ballroom dancing," she explained, "they think [the judges] know everything about ballroom dancing. And when they make comments like that, it does influence how people will vote."
Do you agree? Are the judges biased? Comment and vote below ...
Did Chaz Bono deserve to be voted off Dancing With the Stars?

Nancy Grace has made a mockery of Dancing. She should have been voted off this week Nov 3nd however "Everyday" on her TV show they are soliciting votes. This option is NOT Available to the other contestants.
This show is now a joke, Max was correct to complain and highlight the favourism in judging -- I sense he was referring to Nancy.
This will be my last season watching. Thanks Nancy for screwing up a good show.

Katie kat If you don't like Maks too bad.Other people do. You are stupid to say he should go!!! He is one of the best dancers on the show and always has been!!! Just because he got tired of Len making rude comments does not mean he is not a great dancer because he is!!!

Maks is not ugly and he had every right to say what was on his mind ! He is too professional and he is not disgusting, Maryanne. But your attitude is!!! Mind your own business and don't watch then!

Yes I think it was Chaz to go.And i,m glad he was a man to stand up ans admit it was his time. But have to stand up a be criticize, by someone who suppose to be a professional judge is sad. That a form of bulling that goin on in the world, that have really been address in the public a lot these adays. I theink DWTS needed to stay on a professiona level and leave the unnecessary comments out or shall be kept to there self. But I think Bruno needed to be made to give Chaz a apologie in front of every even the public on the show.

I used to love DWTS to see the dancing. I stopped watching it because I cant stand to see the judges belittle the contestants. Who are they to make the low blow comments that they do??
October 27th, 2011 7:49 PM
I think that the contestants, including the pros, should express their frustrations with some of the comments that are made by the judges. Remember, they are there to critique not criticize. I,for one, have noticed that Len is ALWAYS very critical of Max. I think he is intimitaded by him. Go Max!

I think it was time for Chaz to go because he was definitely making on popularity not his dancing talent. The comments from Bruno calling Chaz an Ewok were completely inconsiderate and rude. How he feel if people called him names? Its about time somebody said something about the favortism that goes on. Everybody puts a lot of effort into their dances. Way to go Maks!!!
