Chaz Bono:

Pro: Lacey Schwimmer

Formerly Chastity Bono, the 42-year-old is the only child of Sonny Bono and Cher. In May 2010, Chaz Bono legally changed his gender and name, following a two-year physical and social transition from female to male. The documentary, "Becoming Chaz," premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, earning Bono three Emmy nominations

Don't like Lacey, so I wouldn't care if they left early just because of her. I don't mind Chaz. I'm not looking forward to the controversy following him this season, but the show will survive, kids will be fine, the earth won't fall of its axis, and the groups that are outraged will find something else that's pointless to turn their venom to. Chaz seems boring and subdued, if anything. I'm not betting on his dancing being great, but the whole controversy will probably carry him through.

I'm interested to see how Chaz will do. Scuttlebut says that he's working really hard, so I'm hoping for a fairly good performance.

From media reports, he seems to be putting his all into this, so hopefully he'll come out and surprise people. He does seem on the shy side, so I'm curious to see how he'll do once the show starts.

I'm hoping he's around long enough for the physical activity to benefit him. I've read that he's really wanting to lose weight and has been going to the gym. I don't know...I guess I'm hoping the audience embraces him and that he does well. I think he's very brave to even come on the show. Shy or not, I have to applaud his courage.

I completely agree.

I have to applaud his courage, as well.
I can't even imagine what it must have been like growing up with larger than life personalities like Chaz did.
That would be hard for anyone; but someone who was shy and insecure like he was, it had to be doubly difficult.

On another note, did any of you notice that picture of Lacey? Does she look like she has a whole new face? WTH??!!!

Now that you mention it, her face does look a little tight. I hope it is just a bad shot.


I will be rooting for him as long as he can dance.

Chaz Bono has so much spirit; I hope he has huge support from judges, friends, family, and audience; and hope his dancing is good. I'd love to see him catch big breaks cause it sounds like he is working hard. He deserves a lot of credit! Go Chaz !!

Saw a clip of him somewhere the other day and it was embarrassing to say the least. Can't explain it, but his dancing was horrible. One of those....oh no, please.....please stop. Kinda like Buzz or Master P.
