DWTS Season 11 enters its eighth week of competition tonight (Nov 8) and thus, the Bristol Palin enigma continues.
'Bristol the Pistol' has taken aim & shot down better qualified & much more fiercely talented candidates in her quiet wake to win the coveted mirror ball trophy.
But the burning question remains: how does Palin continue to linger on the competition & stir the ire of many DWTS fans who view the show as a talent (not popularity) contest?
While continually scoring at or near the bottom of the Judge's leader board since the onset of Season 11, Palin has somehow beat out competitors who have outscored and outperformed her, i.e., Florence Henderson, Rick Fox, and even Mike The Situation Sorrentino who exited the show at Week 4.
But what is really at the crux of the Bristol Palin matter is not the fact that Palin continues to receive enough votes to stay on DWTS. That part is evident.
The real question is why & where those votes come from. That is, are those votes generated by Sarah Palin supporters, or are they cast because people really like Bristol?
Hopefully, it's because people truly like 'Alaska's Favorite Daughter', find her refreshing and just want to see her win because of who she is.

I wouldn't take it as a flattering comment either.
Methinks the Babes at Hillbuzz might be enjoying that Alaska cookie way too much. >:0

Loved the segement with her parents!
Sarah is soooo proud of her!!!
Go Bris! Booo, Len!!!
Impressive performance by Bristol.
Oh my Gawd!!!!!!!!!!Bristol
Bristol did very well...I think she will stick around for another week....
LOVED BRISTOL’s dance!...
Todd and Willow? I haven’t seen Willow in so long. Glad they are there.
I have been critical of Bristol when she has done a bad job..I think she did a very good job for her.
She didn’t have enough intensity all the way through but she had A LOT more than I would have imagined...and I agree with Carrie Ann..more than she has ever had. Also,not enough energy in legs...but great job.
Willow is beautiful
8-8-8
Bristol did wonderful tonight. Very happy for her.
WOW!
8-8-8
Bristol’s scores!
Vote like Acorn!
I loved it too. I think it was her best one yet. It suited her. She needed to be cool instead of animated and she nailed it.
I do agree with Carrie Ann though. A couple of times it seemed like her legs were leaden. No energy in them a couple of times.
I loved the kicks. She’s got the legs for it.
Haha, Todd. “I’m outta here.”. Dad!
I’m happy for her!
She Bristol is holding her own.
