Lance Bass to get a male partner on DWTS

Former N*Sync member Lance Bass has been tapped to appear on the new season of Dancing With The Stars.  Nothing unusual about a former boy bander  doing some ballroom dancing — Joey Fatone pulled it off.  The unusual part is that Bass, who is now openly gay, might be assigned a male partner.  Now I see where ABC is going with this and they are trying to make a statement about equality and everything, but this show is about entertainment.  I can see this being a huge controversy as certain markets threaten to pull the show on moral grounds.  Plus who would lead and can both partners to lifts and tosses?  That just creates an unfair advantage for Lance and his partner.  What do you think about Lance having a male partner?  Will it be a positive move, create a media circus, take away from the enjoyment of the show or add to it?

  • GET REAL!!!!I don't care what they are trying to accomplish.It will TOTALLY,I mean, TOTALLY ruin the show and they will lose a bundle of watchers,not to mention the ratings.Don't go there,enough already.

  • I believe that everything has its place, and two men (or women) for that matter dancing the ramba, tango or any of those types of dances on DWTS is rediculous!! If they want to do that sort of thing, then create a spin-off of the show. This show was made popular by its finesse and grace of pairing up a man and a woman, who bring their own strengths and elegance to the dances. The women help make the dance look beautiful in their beautiful ballroom gowns and brilliant outfits. I don't think Lance could pull off wearing a ballroom gown, do you?!! Let them create another version such as "Dancing with the Gay Stars" and see how that would fly. I am sure they will have people who would be interested in watching it!!

  • I think its ridiculous and I probably wouldn't watch the show if they did give him a male partner. This is during prime time TV and I just do not want to have to answer questions my young daughter might have at the age of 6. It's a bit too early for that in my opinion. DWTS is not about sexuality..It's about dance...and I think it should be left how it is.

  • Having 2 men on the show dancing would totally go against the tradition of professional ballroom dancing and should not be allowed. There's enough gay stuff on TV already.
