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.

Excellent! Thanks very much. I am just sick about my cell phone...lol.
Aw, he’s such a beautiful baby! God’s blessing.
What on Earth does this have to do with Social Conservatism?
I hope she makes a lot of money, you can be sure her baby’s father isn’t paying anything!

After Rick Fox was voted off over Kyle last week, I found it unfair.
I think Jennifer will win it, but I am proud of Bristol, she didn’t let me down. She held her own against the pressure. good Girl!! It’s all gravy now.
Oh dayum. I missed Jennifer’s crying...
I’ll rewinde!!
Not sure who she is there for, she might just really like the program. I have seen her in clips from previous seasons too.
I hope she makes a lot of money too!
No need to rewind...you will see her cry again ..and again..and again....
I agree. I’m proud of Bristol too. She’s had no dance experience, and she has done well.
Already got my phone votes in for Bristol and Mark.
Yeah, watching Jennifer is like watching a train wreck after the train just went over a very tall,very well designed and beautiful,sky high railroad bridge.
Yes, thanks very much, sweet you! I read that and pinged Jim. Sarah ‘shore is dumb’ and those libtard journ0lists are the smart ones... LOL.
WHACK! Go Sarah!
ME TOO! Doesn’t Kurt seem like such a gentleman!
It occurs to me that Kurt really didn’t dance there. She danced, he grabbed her.
Anna is such a good dancer...better than Lacey.
Kurt had charisma ..he did a nice job.
Kurt:
8-8-8
I've seen pics of Lacey from back in the day. She looks like a different person.
He is a sweetheart.
The judges sounded a bit insulting to me. A Ken doll?
