Jerry Springer was also kept on long after his due date expired.
People like to forget.

Do you really think she voted for Obama when her mother was on the ticket?
That’s if she voted at all.

If Jennifer Grey doesn’t win the show is a farce.

If only the best dancer should ever win, then what's the point of pitting someone like Jennifer with professional dance experience and a father who is a well-known dancer and choreographer? Why have a show with total amateurs competing if it's just about who the best dancer is? Why not just hand the trophy to Jennifer on the first day?

Bristol is Sanjaya, Mark Two.

And we’re voting for her PURELY to tweak off the Left.. .

Right on....well said!! I wish Gray had gone and Brandi stayed and eventually won but to denigrate Bristol is unreasonable.

Well, for that matter we don't even know if you are a conservative. You could've voted for Obama for all we know.

Okay, got my vote.

Brandy and Jennifer Grey are such contrived divas, it shows through in their performances. Jennifer Grey is trying so hard to be “sexy” that it is embarrassing to watch. She is immodest and a whiner, and takes all credit herself for the performances. Poor Derek to have to put up with her. He is wonderful to watch and he was so great with Nicole Scherzinger last season.

Kyle and Bristol are both teenagers and refreshing because of their honesty and being the underdogs. Bristol wit her modesty and self doubts, Kyle with his irreverent exuberance. Keep on tweaking Len!

That being said, I hope Kyle wins the season- he is fun to watch and has gotten better and better!

And congrats to Maks- he can finally move on from putting up with that wind-up doll Brandy.

ah, no- the judges have been warm and extra solicitous to Bristol.

IMHO - I agree ... it should have been Jennifer or Brandy ... hands down! This is about DANCING not PERSONALITIES. Bristol should have "gone" last night ... if you are looking at talent. I'm betting their ratings are going to crash after this round. A lot of libs watch that show, to think it could be "rigged" and "controlled" by the Tea Party will TURN THEM OFF.

Actually, a bad mistake putting Bristol onto the show. There are hundreds of people to choose from. They sacrificed instant ratings for long term failure. When you are doing marketing you would say, "what will happen to ratings if she wins? What will happen if she loses?" You STUDY both answers then make the decision. It has NOTHING to do with her personally, but everything to do with profits when you make such a decision. This marketing ploy was a no-win from the onset. If she loses, then the Tea Party walks away, if she wins, the libs walk away. You don't want to make a marketing decision that causes half your customers to leave you.

Hollywood (and I consider this Hollywood) just doesn't get it. Stay out of the politics. Hey Dixie Chicks, shut up and sing! and as for Matt Damon bashing Palin? Sorry but I'll be missing your next movie, Matt. Poor marketing ... they do marketing like checkers ... instead of chess. It will be fun to see them crash and burn because of their own absence of marketing forethought.

I will continue watching because Jennifer Gray is a dream to watch on the dance floor (as was Brandy). But next year's show? Well, Nat Geo has some great things coming up I hear.

Brandy was a better performer but Bristol was the better person. when people have to vote for someone they factor in character. Bristol has been a class act throughout the show. Brandy has whined and been stuck up.

Actually, it is bad for Palinites. Here is my reasoning:

The lefties are going to hold this up as showing how the Palinites have let their “mindless” adoration of all things Palin override the clear talent of other (read minority) contestants.

By turning this into a popularity contest, rather than a talent show, are you not doing the same thing we accused the media of doing with Obama.

Not my thinking. I don’t care. But this is what you’ll hear from the other side.

Not one person on that show congratulated Bristol after her win (while being filmed, anyway)

I felt bad for her. She won her spot with all DWTS rules being followed yet, she had to stand and listened to everyone talk about how unfair it was that Brandy wasn't in the finals.

I have thought all along that the Tea Party had not finished having their say and it carried over to this show.

Them's the breaks. It doesn't usually favor our team...

An old friend of mine, who happens to be gay (very gay and wants everyone to know it and be gay with him) is livid. He hates anyting Palin and is currently losing his mind because apparently Willow Palin used the word 'fa**ot'. His head exploded last night when Bristol wasn't voted off because of those "evil Palin supporters....tea bag THIS".

He hates Bristol because of who her mother is. But don't you dare judge him for being gay!

I haven't watched the show enough to see her dance, tho I did catch Jennifer Gray...she was great!

when will conservatives stop caring about what the liberals say about us?

I could care less what they say. they can say what they want. The answer to their talk is the trophy. screw the haters. It is high time we tell the haters in america to sit down and shut up.

I just had a delicious idea! Now that Bristol is in the finals, I'm confident that she will not be crushed if she doesn't win. However, if she does win, the liberals are going to go off the deep end going on about how she doesn't deserve it...blah blah blah. HOWEVER, if we all get behind Kyle and he wins - the liberals will be hard pressed to be critical. Personally, I don't think they should pit people with lots of dance experience against amateurs with no experience. Having Kyle win will stop the libs in their tracks!

I think bristol deserves this win. If she would have been a hater, stuck up, thought it was her due to win she would not have won. she has carried herself with class, determination and grit all through the show. Her dancing has improved, she has taken risks, gone out of her comfort zone and had a great time doing it. she has earned money to support her child and she has become a woman in her own right. true some of the votes are simply due to Gov Palin but Bristol by the way she has acted has got her own fan base now too.

The libs are a bunch of haters and I enjoy their tears.
