People want to watch an amateur learning a new skill?
Give me a freeeeeeking break !
Best Bet? Hardly.
Chances are more than likely that DWTS will be crowning a CHEATER tomorrow night.... not a winner. The real 'HONEST winners' (Kyle & Jennifer) will go without reward for their hard work and expertise unfortunately.
Bristol will win. She could go out on the stage and barely move and she still will win.
Sound like what Levi said she barely moved.
If this non-talented girl wins this, I will never watch this show again!! She is just so lifeless, has the personality of the wettest dish cloth, and is just plain un-likable! And why have we all been subjected to having to see that mother of hers on there so often?---There really are a lot of people that can not stand the woman! been watching this forever, and don't remember any one else's mother being stuck in front of the camera like that!! Where are these votes coming from?? If her claim to fame is being a teen mother, I can send half this little city to this show!
This has been a nightmare for everyone who have enjoyed DWTS. Bristol is not now or will ever be a fair and honest winner she has no talent. This show is in some real serious trouble. I for one enjoyed the fairness of the voting, but now cheating on someone who doesn`t even diserve it is so wrong. The producers of this show need to step up to the plate. Your show has lost many veiwers, me for one. I`m sorry it was left to the voters,why the judges? The public needs and want some real honest thruths about this. Too bad no one is willing to do something.
My family and our neighbors have no intention of watching the final DWT this season. We're getting together for a game night instead.
Boycott the show!! Maybe lowering the viewer ratings will get their attention that we do not approve of this type of dishonesty and manipulation. It is not fair to the other contestants. Also, we did not like the very rude and crude remarks from the 3 Judges toward some of the contestants. They all are working to makes the show interesting and a success. All the contestants deserve respect for giving up their time. They should not have to experience such public demeaning, crudel remarks that are often on the edge of being vulgar and gutter like behavior. That's not what we want our kids to see as acceptable and appropriate behavior. I think all 3 Judges and the show's producer owe Michael Bolton an apology for such extremely distastefull remarks. They'd never say that to Palin, who was far worse. We seriously doubt that we will watch this show next year as well. So producers clean up the dirty act unless you have a desire to loose even more viewers. And NO!, we do not believe in rating polls as a validation of substance or quality, either.
She's a curiosity. People feel for her - even if they are not fans of her parents. She's an underdog and most people root for the person who is giving their all when they have nothing left to lose - it's the story of America! When the producers turned the voting over to television viewers, the show stopped being about dancing. With the current voting system in place, the show might as well be "Origami With The Stars!" or even "Bingo With The Stars!" Miss Palin would be cute doing those things, too.
The wife and I have been doing some talking around and reading about this. The vote for her does involve Tea Party, but many people are also voting because they identify with her.
The show is structure 50% Judges & 50% Audience. This is a brilliant scheme - they don't have to appeal to everyone. With the audience having that much weight the will always have good ratings.
Ann Heath - Bristol has what it takes to be a winner - winner doesn't always mean the best tallent, but rather is the perseveres against all odds.
I agree with you DB. What most of the posters here see is politics. I see a women with no experience gaining skill and confidence with each passing week. I don't care who her parents are, we should take Bristol as a lesson in perseverance.
Unfortunately, people will insist it's politics. Their loss.
And their spelling sucks. Use spell check!
you people do know that the longer she stays the more money she gets. persevere? i would to for that amount of money. hell, yeah~
Funny.... I see THOUSANDS of teabaggers who CONFESSED to rigging the votes in her favor. I guess conservativism makes you blind, deaf and DUMB, eh ??? ( not to mention unethical, immoral and classless ).
If this is the direction of reality shows, look for more "law and Order" next year. Reality shows suck as it is now Paylins kid only confirms that.
If this was "Dancing with an Alien Look-Alike", yeah, she'd be a good contender. Bristles head is abnormally large.
This overweight skunk couldn't dance if her life depended on it. This show is an obvious sham.
Bristol? She better pray she doesn't win. She's already known across the country if not the world as the immoral knocked up teenager from Wasila, AK. If she wins DWTS she'll be known as the clown that killed the shows ratings because people will tune their TVs to another station/program and that includes me.
Give the young woman a break. She made a very bad decision as a teenager. Lots of people make bad decisions as teenagers. They just don't have to have it publicized to the world and rehashed every day for years on end. Her mistakes don't make her an immoral person, just someone who suffered from very bad judgment. If sleeping with your high school boyfriend is a crime, being stuck with Levi in her life for the next 17+ years is more than punishment enough. And if she's capitalizing on her fifteen minutes of fame as the daughter of her mother, who can blame her? She's got a child to support and I can't see the father being a terribly reliable source for that.
I'm not a Sarah supporter. And I don't dispute that there are more talented dancers on this show who haven't made it as far as she has. Whether she deserves to win or not is a completely separate issue from her personal past.
Eat your heart out You Palin Haters. MSNBC can't broadcast news, MSNBC is definitely a tabloid
I believe MSNBC just won a national journalism award for their news website.
To wit:

Well, Whoopi! I guarantee you they don't report what you need to be reading, all they are doing is pacifying you and keep you from knowing the absolute truth. You need to quit playing Democrats and Republicans and wake up to the fact that we are about to loose our freedom. There are issues everyone needs to know that they are not getting patronizing this tabloid network.
what freedom are you talking about you idiot!!
Oh... let us run over to FAUX NOISE to get the 'truth' from Rush Limpballs or Glenn Peckerhead.... LMMFAO
Rethuglitards are so pathetic.
An old wise saying is there are three classes of people in this world.
#1 Are people that talk about ideals, inventors, philosophers, planners, etc.
#2 Are people that talk about events, football games, signing of treaties, etc.
And #3 the lower class are people that talk about people, gossipers.
I think they voted that guy off the island.
Since you are talking about the people here, where does that put you? Right there at #3. .
?Trying to wake you up.
Tomorrow when I'm out in the timber falling trees and skidding the logs I doubt if I'll be thinking of you couch potatoes worrying about Bristol Palin winning DWTS. But I will be concern about our nation and about our (yours and mine) Freedom.
Well.. if we lose an "freedoms" be sure to thank the Rethuglitards for us.
OK so it was fun putting a nobody on the show, now that she's winning with her hideous dancing, that is not even funny. Oh and please stop showing her mother, she's just another one that is a nobody!!
For you sanity they need to do just that.
But that's the joke - she's "a nobody", just like WE're nobodies. It's like it's US out there!! Get it? Get it? (i.e., we ARE the joke...)
Ahhh, the infamous 15 Minutes of Fame! We are such a silly, lowest common denominator society these days. We see excellence where there is only mediocrity and attention is given to people who have done nothing to deserve it, but are simply very good at seeking it for themselves. Sara Palin and her brood are perfect examples: vacuous nobodies who barely deserve the time of day. While Sara bitches and moans about every slight sent her way, she dishes it out in big greasy gobs as she rakes in her millions mugging for the cameras. America is a country of fools.
You have go to give me a break! Best Bet like hell!!!! I will not be watching DWTS or Skating. Bristol could come out and fall on her face and the robo calls (cheating Tea Partiers) will vote for her with no consequence at all...Thanks ABC!
Bill Bowen Baby !!! I think you have hit the nail on the head !!!
Does not all of this BS going on with DWIS make us question the morality, character of the 2% that is trying to change (EX: prayer in school, GOD in the Pledge of Allegiance, Illegal voting, etc. etc.) what the other 98% of us want and represent being an American.
I always heard:
Great minds talk about IDEAS !
Medium minds talk about Events!
Small minds talk about PEOPLE!
Are we not as human beings ALL of these at one time or another !!!
ABC will be soooooooo overloaded with ratings tomorrow night - I will be watching - I really want to see Jennifer and Kyle dance just one more time and probably watch Bristol. I will not watch Tuesday night and just pick up the results online.
Such a disappointing SEASON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" I voted 300 times in three hours" Of course Palin will win, the tea baggers are energized. Too bad they can't come up with anything that closely resembles an economic policy. Wait, I forgot the extension of the tax cuts for the wealthy that will add 600 billion to the deficit, now there's something to vote for.
Gas guzzler...that was funny!!
Poor girl. She's just a lost, clueless kid in way over her head, and I don't envy her, having that mother. I don't watch the show, but all this will be forgotten in the unfolding fiasco of the next few months.
Bristol, You have improved with your dancing and I admire your determineation to succeed. That's what it takes in this world. But, you're not the best star on the floor and if you will the glass ball, it won't be for your dancing....it will be for your mothers tea party followers. If you win the ball, you will have a life time to look at the ball and know it was not your talent that enable you to win.... but your moms' fans. Don't ever believe different.
When this whole thing is over go out into the world and do something for your self!!!!!!!! You'll make it!!
The only thing that is worthy of a laugh is that people think Bristol is a nice girl with actual potential. PLEASE...have you read her nasty and immature blog posts attacking anyone with an opinion of her or her family and that ridiculous show her Mother is doing. When did Sarah Palin buy Alaska and it become hers???
A mature young woman would be respectful enough to appreciate the public's opinion whether it be favorable or not. She is just like her mother...not a good thing.
Since she's suck (oops such) a good dancer, let's see her athletic skills next! How about some track events, basketball (saracuda played that), volleyball, distance events, speed events, etc, and use the same voting leverage on DWTS. She'll score highest even if she places at or near last in every event, because the teepeers WON'T let her fail...you know........like a commie leader getting votes in a rigged election.
Better yet, let her show up on Jeopardy: Alex Trebek, "Juneau, and the question is..........Bristol!" "Where daddy did doggy with mommy?" Trebek:, "Sorry, Bristol....it's state capitals..not events with mommy-dada....."
The passion on this issue is interesting. I do not watch DWTS on a regular basis. When I did watch it, I was interested in seeing good dancing not un talented fools like American Ideal has on it or America's got talent. Exploding fools is not my form of entertainment.Bristol had courage to goon the show having no dancing skills or was this just a publicity stunt to get back at Levi? I do not have a clue HOWEVER to drum up things to call people that think that her mothers fans are causing her to win HATER is nonsense. This is the only reason she has advanced plain and smiple. It she thinks that she has a fan base that isn't her moms she is as naive as her mom. People that want to see great dancing should go to a broadway show. People that want to see political spin should watch DWTS.
I think people have forgotten that the contestants on DWTS get paid a nice paycheck to participate in the show. MONEY is why she and her family have done anything in the past year.
I am not a Bristol Palin fan at all and think her Mother should just go away. However, this fame hungry family is only going as far as we the public are allowing them. The real blame lies with two entities. First, John McCain and his "team"...thanks alot for dragging this woman out of Alaska and her messed up family with her. Secondly, Dancing with the Stars and CBS should be equally ashamed for asking Bristol to join the cast. The public expects to see stars....no one can honestly think this girl is a "star" of any kind. These people started this mess and they should have to clean it up. However, this drama associated with her being in the final is only reinforcing shows like Dancing to always put ratings before quality in programming.
It is just disgusting how her prescence has totally ruined the reputation of a very popular show. I think the fallout of this casting will last far longer than they would have imagined.
Just love watching the Palin haters chirping away. Go Bristol!
wow...because we are calling things the way they are...the girl has no talent, she looks stiff and uncoordinated...we are haters??? No, some of us can dance, can keep time to music and smile and move our feet at the same time.
Watch her move...she is clumsy, her facial expressions are no-existent...she can't dance. Watch her partner: He has to pull her around the floor, trying to keep her in step with the music. If we criticize her, we are somehow at fault. She gets paid to do this...bottom line...and her mother and her mother's supporters have taken the dance out of the show, throwing it into the policital arena.
If she wins, I will be one of the millions of people who never watch this show again. It is a show about dancing. Plain and simple...and she is not a dancer.
