Chaz Bono had a good six week run on DWTS, but this week he was eliminated, prompting a strong response from the activist in the confessional booth:
If you’re an overweight woman in this competition, losing weight, they love you. If you’re an overweight guy trying to do this competition, getting in shape, they penalize you for it, call you a penguin. Bruno [expletive] makes comments about me being cute and cuddly and an Ewok,with the Princess Leia…like I’m some fat troll dancing with this beautiful woman every week and I’m sick of it.
I came on this show because I wanted to show America a different kind of man, and I know that if there was somebody like me on TV when I was growing up, my whole life would’ve been different and so I dedicate everything I did to all the people out there like me and especially the kids and teens who are struggling. You can have a wonderful great life and be successful and happy.
Chaz did say however:
You know, I took so much away from this. This was an amazing journey that really pushed me and showed me that I could do so much more than I ever thought I could.
Chaz you are awesome. Keep dancing, keep being who you are!
