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’m stuck out at Cape Canaveral working...what did Maks do?
I think Bristol expects to lose tonight. She didn’t get upset that Mark messed up.
BRISTOL MADE IT.OMG!
Max’s smart mouth may have cost Brandy a chance at the prize.
Wow, all those ACORN votes are paying off.
WooHooo Bristol:)
I had a feeling it would be Kurt going..that web site that shows the predictions is pretty accurate
Holy Cow!!! I wonder if Kurt had more phone calls than Brandy?
YES!!
The way I was voting yesterday, Bertha Lewis would be proud LOL
WOW! We’re driving Whoopi nuts!!
I hope he stays. I like Kurt and Anna.
Derek is intense AND VERY competitive.
OMGOSH! I don’t believe it! Bristol pulls it off another week. Ooooooo...I wish I was a fly on the wall...
Great voting. Hey you know. The dems better hope we never take these ACORN voting skills to the polls.
I discovered last night that if you use two computers with two different browsers you can vote again. I used Google Chrome on one and MS Explorer on the other. Then voted under my log on and my hubbies.
LOL ..I went a bit above the normal by signing up on that website and voting online. Hadn’t done that before.
He apologized to the audience. Said he would keep his cool. Brooke asked if he had anything to say to Carrie Ann.
He said..Let’s just do our jobs. I am trying to do mine.
I’m proud of you...:)
i watch Lawrence Welk every once in a while to watch Bobby Burgess and Cissy dance. They were astounding.
I like Kurt too. Would be too wild for Brandy to go, she’s at the top with the judges.
I guess the libs will be blowing gaskets.
I used one computer..I just kept on making fake email addresses and signing up with them. Obama voted a bunch of times with the email addresses I made up of him LOL
Max is a Smart***. He may have cost Brandy the competition.
