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.

Sweet little Bristol has nothing in common with the shallow, nasty tempered, jealous, back biting Meghan McCain, but I can't be the only one here that recognizes that if Meghan posted here, her posts would look an awful lot like yours.
Given how reticent she has been with dancing..the way she danced that was kind of shock to me.
I wonder what her dad thinks ;-) HA!
GOOD ANSWER!!
Yes, proud Papa Todd and proud Mama Sarah, and very thrilled Willow and Piper and Bristol’s family are the ones whose approval really matters. We are her supporters and applaud her bravery and WOW, she’s come a long way, baby!!! The girl has new self-confidence and she’s dazzled. I also think she’s helped ‘some’ people see her family in a new and better light too.
I hope that Bristol is not at the bottom again. I hear that she had a great dance. I am voting for her online as we speak
Good grief I haven’t heard of most of these instant dance songs, and Jennifer/Derek are apparently too young to have heard of Foreigner, LOL.
Kyle does look a little thinner. He is still doing weird things with his eyebrows. Stop it!
!!!
LLS
LOL. Did I remember it correctly? LOL.
I think I will vote online now. I really miss that cell phone.
Exactly right! She is brave. I can't imagine dancing out there in front of millions with no dance background! Plus, people really do like her.
WOO-HOO!
What the heck is *THAT*? Bristol’s next dance?
You betcha!
LLS
Bristol was great! We’ll have to look for it online.
Great job by Kyle on a jive .
That truly was great for not practicing to the music.
They’re praising Kyle’s instant dance.
