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.

Hey you... watching the Rangers kick patootie on the Yankees.... taping DWTS... but VERY happy for Bristol!
I think I can hear the gnashing of teeth from the likes of JaneNC LOL!
You’re going to love DWTS tonight! I was shocked by the timing of the announcement...not by the announcement itself.
Pay close attention at the start. Fair warning!
Yesterday was her birthday, so Happy Birthday, Bristol. :)
Watching now and loved the excitement when told they were safe.
Looks like Bristol had a very happy birthday!
The call is free, and you can call from a land line.

YAY! My two favorites.
Whoopicushion Goldberg had a fit on The View today because Bristol was safe and lecherous old Flo had to go!
“I am glad to see Corky and his mug off my screen”
