After a knee injury and two weeks squarely at the bottom of the leaderboard, Chaz Bono finally upped his game on Monday night’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
In front of his superstar mother, Cher, the rest of his family and an audience of millions, the activist and author, dancing the paso doble with partner Lacey Schwimmer to the theme from “Rocky,” battled his way back into the competition.
“In the true spirit of ‘Rocky,’ no matter how many knocks you take, you keep coming back, you keep fighting and you keep getting stronger,” judge Bruno Tonioli said.
Chaz’s performance, which benefited from a little rehearsal coaching from none other than Richard Simmons, also touched Cher, who – along with the ballroom audience – gave her son a standing ovation, as tears welled up in her eyes.
“OMG! I WAS CRYING ! WASNT EXPECTING 2 B SO NERVOUS ! BROKE MY BRACELET CLAPPING ! IM SO PROUD,” Cher Tweeted after the show. “CHAZ WAS GREAT! LOVED DAVID ARQUETTE 2nd.”
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba too was left misty-eyed.
“I’m trying to figure out why I’m, crying,” Carrie Ann commented. “It’s like, I watch you and somehow you get under my skin and you make me root for you… Your true courage and the way you get out there, I was like, ‘Go! Go! Go!’”
