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.

That is what I thought, then I decided they were listed in alpha order because nothing is showing up on raw calls.
Ooo. Maks is fired up. That’s hot!
Maks seems ticked off!
He’s asleep.I’ll tell him you told me to wake him up.Hehehehehehe
LOL!
I love ballroom dancing, hadn’t watched DWTS before, except a couple of times.
Overall, I thought Bristol did a good job tonight. She took a risk and did well in unfamiliar territory. She’s a brave girl.
I totally agree!!
Now that Tony is gone someone has to talk back to the Judges.
Maks has a temper. He really let them have it...at least I think so..couldn’t tell with all the overtalking.
lolol. Brave one!
Kurt could go, or Kyle. I think Kyle runs low on people calling for him. Will see.
WOW..Maks is really letting them have it.
Wonder if he will be back next year.
Brandy:
9-9-10
57 out of 60
She’s tied with Jennifer
You have to complete your phone voting by 30 minutes after the end of the show.
He is pissed.
What all was Maks saying? I could hardly hear him.
That’s cute! Everyone should have a mom like that!
Imagine what his relationship with Karina was like!!!
Two hot heads.
I think it will be Kurt or KYle too.
Another thing I have noticed. She does better with a long dress. I don’t think that her legs are limber enough for the short costumes. I’ll bet you she would have had a higher score tonight if she had a longer dress. And that last costume made her look like a pumpkin. Sorry. I’m p.o.d at the costumers. I think they have not done her justice. The uptight military purple was her best costume and her best dance.
