'Dancing With The Stars' Week Two: Chaz Bono Falls Flat After Knee Injury (VIDEO)

After pulling off a tremendous week one performance with a cha cha that was both lively and fun, regardless of technique, Chaz Bono let his knee injury get the best of him during week two of "Dancing With the Stars" (Sept. 26). What could have been a tremendous second week effort may have just been his swan song -- a very sad swan song at that.

What was supposed to be a night of fast-paced jives and quicksteps, turned into something a little more painful for Bono, who suffered a knee injury in rehearsals with partner Lacey Schwimmer. However, Bono put his best foot forward on the dance floor -- really, really slowly.

Bono's quickstep, or more accurately, slowstep, earned him a score of 17 on the leaderboard. Unfortunately, it was the lowest score of the night. Hopefully, Bono's injury doesn't send him home because there are a few contestants (okay, really only Elisabetta Canalis) who deserve to be sent home first. Scroll down to watch Bono's rather slow quickstep performance.

Will Bono live to dance another day? Tune into the results show Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 8PM ET on ABC.

They should have paired Chaz up with the heavy version of Kirstie Alley and let them do a nice slow dance so no one gets hurt.

I am not trying to be mean but all this pretending to be a man is not the same as really being one. It took guts to be on this show. I was going to say it took cajones but we know that is not the case. Gender confusion must be hell to deal with. ..."Just Sayin"

I think the two who might go the distance are J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake.

"Yay, Chaz!" and all that, but that was the slowest quick step I've ever seen.

Chaz can't change his skeleton, he still has the bone structure of a woman and apparently it's not strong enough to carry the weight of a man his size. If the knees are so bad he should drop out of the contest.

You can tell that Chaz is a good hearted guy.

I like Chaz. I think it is sad that people condemn the guy. Bravo for being yourself. He seems like a very nice man.

Thank you. She is a girl yesterday, today, and tomorrrow. No amount of surgery is going to change that.

I can't believe people watch this crap and then take time out of a busy day to actually VOTE too!

Chaz is not in good physical condition, plain and simple. As all DWTS viewers know, the bar only gets raised higher as the competition continues. I can't see him continuing in his condition. This is week two, week 5 could likely put him in the hospital. Being transgender is not the issue here, being in less than good physical condition and making poor lifestyle choices to get to this point is. The best thing would be for Chaz to go home, for his own health, safety and well-being

You were doing ok until you tried to sneak in "and making poor lifestyle choices" as an issue, which of course immediately revealed you for the bigot that you are.

Nice try, but no.

Poor lifestyle issues could be with regards to diet and exercise.

I know that taking T* can be hard on the body and often causes weight gain, it isn't a surprise that Chaz put on weight. But he did have it in his power to try and stay in control, rather than using DWTS as a diet plan when it seem to be too hard and too rigorous on his joints. People who haven't exercised in a while can really hurt themselves - Chaz is in his 40s and he just doesn't seem prepared for it.

I didn't realize that the show turned into dancing with the elephants..

Oh please......it has NOTHINg to do with female- male. It has to do with the fact that he is not a dancer and is overweight. WSe should applaud his dancing. Its' certainly healthy for you.
