2. Honestly I think that's the reason why I haven't seen any big voting pushes for Chaz....

Don't get me wrong - I see people everywhere who are excited to see Chaz on DWTS and feel that he brings a positive light to a very misunderstood group of people. I saw some clips of his dancing and thought he looked like he was having the time of his life out there on the dance floor and it seems the judges were impressed.

But normally I don't watch this show, it's simply not my cup of tea. And personally I felt that whole push that was done a few seasons back with Bristol Palin was just obnoxious. From what I read about her she couldn't dance, looked like she was in pain when she was on the dance floor and was one of the few DTWS contestants who didn't drop a pound during the event. She was not someone who deserved a 3rd place finish and from what I read several very good contestants were eliminated because of that voting. Was it fair to take away talented people from the show just to push an agenda?

I suppose if there was a big push to help Chaz win perhaps I might call in a time or 2 (or vote however you vote - don't have a clue). But then we end up being like them, the tea party idiots who felt they were curing cancer or solving world peace by voting for some high school drop out being pushed into the limelight by her mother.

If Chaz Bono is to do well in this competition is should be because he's done a good job on the dance floor not because a bunch of people want to try and influence the vote just to push their agenda, no matter how good or bad that agenda might be.
