Dancing With the Stars week 5 performance show is Oct. 18, and it could mean that Bristol Palin is eliminated on Oct. 19. The past two weeks have seen her and dancing partner Mark Ballas consistently at the bottom of the weekly scoreboard.
Both times Palin and Ballas have been just ahead of the lowest scoring couple, getting saved each week, despite being placed in jeopardy by the combination of judges' scores and audience home votes.
Last week, Palin and Ballas were eighth place out of nine couples, just ahead of The Situation and Karina Smirnoff during week 4 of Dancing With the Stars. It was down to these two couples at the end of the show, and it was The Situation and Smirnoff who were sent home.
The previous week, Palin and Ballas were just ahead of Margaret Cho and Louis Van Amstel, but it was Cho and Van Amstel who went home. Now all of the low-scoring couples have been voted off the show, leaving Palin and Ballas very vulnerable at the bottom of the scoring so far this season.
As with any reality competition show, things can shift from week to week, and it could lead to Palin and Ballas putting up their best scores of the season.
So far in the season, Palin and Ballas have averaged a score of 18 out of 30, which isn't good by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe this is the week where they really impress the judges, though, making their elimination a rash prediction.
The Oct. 18 Dancing With the Stars performance begins at 8 p.m. on ABC, with the promotions for the show stating that they will all be dancing to TV theme songs.

Geez...Gorilla suits?? I like bristol but she’s not one of the Judges favorites...She will be going home unless she gets massive ammounts of votes...
SHE WAS GREAT!!!
What were the scores?
No, she wasn’t. That was a bad dance. she forgot a lot of steps.
Here comes the nit-picking and Bristol had FUN, so more power to her.
I get the scores for you.
6 6 6
6 - 6- 6
I think Bristol’s adorable! After all, she never danced before...
6-6-6
6 6 6... I guess the Brits like their monkey suits...Maybe she should have forgotten the dance and just had her partner chase her around to Benny Hill music....LOL
If Bristol is wearing a monkey outfit, this should shut up those who screams she;s showing too much skin.
Really? Well, get this buddy.
Most of us here are WOMEN.
Yep, the monkey suit was not good to dance in...she did good after pulling it off, lol! Love the pink dress.
Call for Bristol everyone!
I am waiting for someone...maybe Ed Schulz...to make a connection.
Any woman that breathes is Bill Clinton’s type.
Ye, she’s likely the one eliminated tomorrow.
I don’t know that our votes can save her, but, we’ll TRY.
Even if she forgot some of the steps it was sorta fun & I’m proud of her for even trying!
Dance wise..she deserved no better than 5’s for that dance.
Part of the fault is with Mark “Me” Ballas and his choreography.
They gave her the devil sign of 6 6 6
What does that comment mean? You're probably the only man on this thread.
Damn another 6-6-6..oh well, if she goes she goes..besides her who else is in the bottom? I guess they were not fans of her gorilla routine
I definitely agree.
