I’ve never watched the show, other than one clip on youtube and the occasional commercial. It’s simply not the kind of thing that interests me, and I also find the costumes and style of dancing to be too revealing and suggestive. For those reasons, I am not surprised that Chaz Bono was chosen as a participant.
My parents loved ballroom dancing. They even taught for awhile. The costumes have changed drastically. And it HAS become “dirty dancing” ballroom style. When I still had TV, I would watch competitions on PBS. It was the dancing without the silliness but still had “Ho” fashions. lol
