I don’t watch “Dancing with the Stars.” I’m not emotionally invested in the show. But I believe in honesty and fair competition. If something is billed as a talent show, then the people with the most talent and best performances should fare better than the ones who are overweight and confused and graceless.
But that’s not what “Dancing with the Stars” is. Last night, Italian model/actress Elisabetta Canalis and her partner Val Cherminskiy were the second couple eliminated despite having the third-highest score that week. For the love of God, Cher’s fat tranny daughter/son had the worst score and stayed on the show. That’s inexcusable.
Critics of Canalis were turned off by the fact that she argued with Chreminskiy during rehearsals, but we all know what the real story is: the legions of tubby, jealous housewives who vote for “DWTS” hate attractive women. This happens every goddamn year. Who are you people? Show yourselves. Tell me where you are. I will come to your front door and punch you right in the gunt.

Elisabetta Canalis would have been the only reason for me to watch this show.
Like Matt said, this proves that haus fraus watch this show and hate hot women. If any straight guys were to watch this show Elisabetta Canalis would be winner.
That’s all these shows ever are Uff. Midwest, fat, country bumpkin-retards who see people like them and vote with their fat fingers (or dialing wand) 150 times a night because they have nothing else to do with their lives.
Less DWTS, more Breaking Bad/Boardwalk/Dexter/Walking Dead in the next month. It’ll help your blood pressure.
DERP! Why aren’t there more “normal” sized girls on the tee vee (eats tub of Blue Bell ice cream) like Kirstie Alley and Bristol Palin?! DERP
So, we are denied seeing photos Elisabetta in super slinky comic book villain style dresses to watch a fat guy/girl sweat while moving liked a beached manatee.
This is why we dont have nice things, America!!!
It’s what you get when you outlaw geek shows at the carnival. Fans of stay home and TV pays.
No, no. ALL women hate attractive women.
It will all be ok… until Hope Solo gets voted off. Then I burn ABC headquarters to the ground. With all the Chaz Bono grease/sweat on the floor that fucker should light up nicely.
Cheer up guys, Nancy grace is still on the show.
/ducks
I’m shocked/disappointed this article exists without an Elisabetta Canalis slideshow. GOOGLE IS TOO FAR AWAY
@LastTexansFan, not sure why Midwest has to be thrown in to a description of a country bumpkin. Isn’t that more… Texas?
But regardless, let’s not forget that there are those who enjoy watching fat people fall.
@John Doe: I’m talking about the fat bumpkin viewer’s interpretation of the mid-west, so more specifically: “THAT PIECE OF LAND BETWEEN NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES WHERE AMURICA LIVES.”
Does the voting for DWTS cost anything or is it free?
If it’s free, then it’s a joke because there’s nowt to stop anyone from just pressing redial over and over again.
The shows over here like “X Factor” charge money to call/text in your choice.
Now I’ve got Patton Oswalt’s song from the KFC Famous Bowls bit stuck in my head.
“A-mer-i-ca! / Eatin’ my lunch out of a single bowl / in my parents basement, / where I’m livin’. / Happy Birthday, / I’m forty-three….”
KFC Famous Bowls are delicious and sad, no matter where you live.
It continually astounds me that anyone would actually pay money for the privilege of voting in one of these competitions. The money you spent on voting could have been used for other things, like buying gum or playing slot machines or something else that’s not entirely hopeless and sad.
LOL. Don’t hold back man. Tell us how you really feel. Seriously though I don’t like any of these shows. It’s all about ratings and to hell with any real talent or charm to speak of.
Not to throw facts into this stupid topic, but didn’t Nicole Scherzinger win the thing? And Erin Andrews came in 3rd that same season right? Didn’t Brooke Burke do well on the show? I do not think this Italian bird was that attractive, so maybe all the “fat midwestern cows” that watch this crap have higher standards like me? At least higher than this blog? (Clooney hit the jackpot with Keibler, btw. MAJOR upgrade.)
note: I do not watch Dancing with the Stars. I get all my knowledge of the show from watching Jimmy Kimmel. I figured I should mention that considering how gay I might have sounded in defending Dancing with the Stars(?) or those who vote in the show.
@ Otto
Jesus help me move my jaw!
“The shows over here like “X Factor” charge money to call/text in your choice.”
That’s so very American of you all.
They did do that here for a while (with American Idol, I think — Season 1?).
But in order to make it sound/look like MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of people are voting, they made it free and they make it up with advertising dollars, I’m sure.
Why is anyone surprised at this? It’s Reality TV. The votes won’t matter, only the controversy. I don’t watch this crap so the only two I know that are on are that fat disgusting affront to all that is holy and Cher’s kid. I bet those two wind up in the top four purely because of controversy.
While I may agree with you that Chaz isn’t the best dancer on the show, this show isn’t “Dancing with the Best, Most Talented Dancers Ever.” It’s “Dancing with the STARS.” It’s another popularity contest, as most reality shows are. Otherwise, real people wouldn’t be able to vote.
That said, I take serious offense at your description if Chaz as “Cher’s fat tranny daughter/son.” This is highly inappropriate and hurtful language. As an ally of transgender people, I want to point out your assessment of Chaz’ dancing skill does not allow you to get away with your hateful words. Chaz is a transgender man, he is not a “tranny.” He is a “he,” not a person to refer to as a “daughter/son.”
With so much bullying going on in this world targeting our kids, our families and our loved ones, I will not sit by and read this drivel.
I have been reading Warming Glow for a few weeks now and have enjoyed your posts up to this point, but if this is the type of trans-phobic language that you use around here, I will not be coming back for more.
And once again, someone doesn’t understand that these UPROXX style blogs are humor blog and the author tried to make a humorous comment about one of the contestant. Reminds me of the South Park episode which the main point or moral was that comedy ought not to censor itself, and if it did it would be doing itself a major disservice contrary to its spirit (at least I think that was the message). I’m sure you had no previous qualms with other jokes made, but once he made a quip about something you care about, suddenly that crosses the line. Comedy/humor ought not to have lines.
So to conclude calm down and stop whining, it’s just a joke. If you don’t like the content it is your choice to never visit it again. Just as it is the author’s choice to post whatever he pleases about TV and presents such in whatever manner he feels best.
@TransAlly: I didn’t go to war in Iraq just so you could walk around with long, hippy-boy hair with your shirt off, damnit.
But Matt did.
So show some respect, damnit.
@ILovePaleHoseandPaleHos – I understand why they have free calls, I was just checking that it was still free to vote, as I don’t watch these shows at all.
The show “Big Brother” used to be huge over here, and they had free calls for votes. So many votes in fact that it was put forward that perhaps making people pay to vote would make the show disgustingly wealthy.
Of course, votes dropped dramatically and now “Big Brother” is on another lesser channel.
Wow, it’s really inappropriate to call anyone a “tranny daughter/son”. That’s extremely offensive, and not even okay in a joke. Since when is joking an excuse for hate speech? Chaz is a transgender man. As for fat, he’s really not even that heavy.
from wikipedia: chromosomes deeply and permanently determine one’s essential identity as a woman or man; trying to violate this divide is impossible, unnatural, and unhealthy.
“chaz” didnt get a y chromesome during surgery
Chastity Bono is:
Fat
Tansgendered (trannie/tranny/etc)
and a daughter/son (read the birth certificate for the daughter part)
I’d still rather see “it” on the show than that dumbass basketball player from last week……
….but then again…..that might require that I watch it…
“That’s all these shows ever are Uff. Midwest, fat, country bumpkin-retards who see people like them and vote with their fat fingers (or dialing wand) 150 times a night because they have nothing else to do with their lives.”
That is extremely offensive stereotyping and judgemental….. so, yeah I agree, and will laugh at and feal superior to, the fat humps.
P.S. some random QUOTE from wikipedia?
Note to everyone who found the transgender joke offensive:
Stop being pussies and get the sand out of your vagina/penis/vagina-penis.
I mean, I was kind of hoping everyone would be talking about the guy who survived a survived a land mine in Iraq would be getting more press, but hey.
PS: here’s that awesome guy: [www.mlive.com]
@Observerwwtdd, paris.ridgway and Lord Revisisle;
What you said just goes to show how incredibly fat and stupid Americans are. Oh, and also ignorant and ugly. Oh wait, am I generalizing my insults based on a deformed stereotype that only the lowest common denominator adhers to? I hope that doesn’t bother you because that’s the exact same thing you’re doing by calling Chaz Bono a tranny, you worthless fucks. If you would take the time to wipe the Cheetos dust from your pustulant chins and stop basking in the safety of your idiotic assumptions you’d know ‘tranny’ doesn’t even apply to someone who has had their sex correctly assigned to them after years of struggle. And if you are going to quote Wikipedia, delve a little deeper than just chromosomes because following your statement, I’d have to believe no-one has ever been successfully reassigned their gender and are just playing dress-up with bodyparts.
As a queer ally myself, and I thank TransAlly and Andie for standing up too, I’d like to emphasize that it is very, very wrong to use such insults, which only propagate the heteronormative assumptions that seem to excuse ignorance, bullying and bashing, be it on the net or in real life. The writer of this article didn’t use it as a ‘quip’, a ‘joke’ or a ‘funny statement’, it was downright offensive and bordering on hate speech. And by the way, if anybody here thinks it’s ok to rag on all ethnicities, sexualities and religions, I do agree with freedom of speech and self-deprecation. But that is completely different from non-humorous, offensive and hate-filled profanity. I hope Matt at least educates himself on this subjects and avoids such slang in future posts, or I’ll be sending this information to the queer sites I know and make a big deal out of it. I like this site, I think it’s funny and the articles are interesting and at timmes witty. But I have seen this kind of subtle gender-phobia expressed in articles before and I will not stand for it.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Belgian Queer-Ally
“right in the gunt”
thats fuckin hilarious thank you!
Gauthier…..
…are you saying you don’t like Cheetos…?
A “tranny” is a surgically corrupted trans-sexual
