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.

Not fair scores!!!
Did she already do her second dance? How did she do?
You can see whats going on here, the judges are trying every week to get rid of her
Carrie Ann gave her a 7.
KEEP VOTING!
Oh My God, where does he keep it? LOL!
I agree, but the judges don’t know how many of us are out here voting for Bristol. They’re probably worried.
been lurkin’ on & off on threads.. just watching the show for first time
go Bristol!
I am enjoying ALL the dancers!
Are they trying to make up for her fan base? I don’t know.
People weren’t really calling much for Kyle before, guess we’ll find out. Kurt is 1 point ahead. Everyone else has scored a 10 somewhere.
Of course..just keep voting, vote often, just like ACORN..I have already created 10 email addresses and I am still creating more
Meghan McCain drops another gem of wisdom on us.
I got 5 calls in on the cell phone of husband’s handyman.
He said, WTH? “Just give me your cell for a sec and show me how to hit redial”....lol.
Now I am not short of my usual, because they’re only allowing 5 votes.
Woo=Hoo!
Don’t forget your husband’s cell phone.
