They were passing out 10’s on Monday like it was a bodily function. Bristol did well with her Tango and they underscored her with 8’s.

That may be, but that has nothing to do with Bristol. As much as I like her, there's no way under God's green earth that she deserved anything above an 8.

As far as the wanting to go home bit. I watched her the night she had a mini break down when she and Mark were sitting talking, and she did say she wanted to go home. She said she was exhausted, missed her family and wanted to leave---maybe not those exact words, but mighty close to it. Perhaps she's changed her mind?

Jennifer Grey... she is shooting for the gimpathy vote. It might be working. Apparently, she hurt her arm?

I am not a big fan. But my wife loves the show. Can't stand Bergeron. What a dufus. And the hook-dramatics are ridiculous. They wait until the very last minute to announce the loser! Allows them to run more commercials, I guess.

I do have fun reading the live blogs since the show is delayed in our area. We know who won 20 minutes into the show.

Totally agree. She was very attractive, IMO. Now she looks like another barbie.

Happens to a lot of actresses. Meg Ryan is another one. Meg looks awful.

I give her credit for her always improving efforts. But at this point of the competition, I think it’s the ‘Vote for the Worst crowd’ keeping Bristol ‘in the game’.

She’s easy on the eyes, she’s kinda quiet, and has very good manners. She appeals to the people who watch these shows. it has nothing to do with who her mom is.

I happen to know that there was also a vast network of Osmond fans that kept Marie in the contest to third place, and her brother all the way to the mirror ball trophy.

Marie had her singing fans, her doll fans, her crafting fans, her QVC fans, etc.

So, what's wrong with that? Isn't that what happend when Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan was voted out but Marie Osmond remained?

My wife has watched this show religiously since the first episode and never once called in a vote. She told me last night that she called to vote for Bristol. She said she was one of the few “real” people she ever saw on the show ... no phony smile or theatrics, just plugging away at it, doing her best and no excuses. She said it like it was her own kid, very proud of her.

Please tell your wife I agree with her...:)

Each star makes an initial $125,000 for signing and rehearsing 3 weeks before the premiere and competing in the first two episodes, even if the cast member is cut after the first dance.

The breakdown for the remaining weeks is $10,000 an episode for Weeks 3 and 4, $20,000 an episode for Weeks 5 and 6, $30,000 an episode for Weeks 7 and 8, and $50,000 an episode for the final two weeks.

Contestants forfeit a portion of their salary if they fail to meet the ultra-strict rehearsal schedule.

Bristol is working hard and making a lot of money. She never had dance experience before this, and she’s up against Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing and Brandy.

Just saw your ping. She was much better than Kurt on her A-Tongo, she was well underscored, but I will miss him.
