I am not a particular fan of DWS, but when I have the time I do happen onto the DWS threads and am amused in a fun way by some of the posts.
It is very strange to me to have the ‘Dirty Dancing’ movie star as a competitor against a complete novice... but I heard/read that next DWS will promote ‘queer’ dancing by a woman on woman pair...
It does appear that Miss Bristol has worked very hard and demonstrates a good work ethic to have a producer speak out on her behalf...
DWTS has been including gays and those promoting gay rights on recent shows. The degree of their intent to push the buttons of viewers will determine whether DWTS remains welcome in my home next year (social issues should not be the focus of dance competitions).
I sure won’t be watching if that’s the direction they’re headed. I would bet as well that their ratings will take a major hit. Just IMHO, of course. And good for Bristol. I hope she wins.
