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 am still watchjing Sarah Palin online - LIVE - live-stream byt have the TV switched to DWTS.
Let me know when Bristol is safe.
Yes, I looked at the voting (the telephone part last night).
Sarah Barracuda is watching the LIVE stream with me.
OK!
They had to make fun of the Republicans in the DanceCenter Skit...with the monkey suits.
Also mentioned that Bristol liked tea parties.
Nice pic. Very funny thing on Kurt and Bristol.
Amen! There is liking someone..and then Carrie Ann drooling patheticly over Rick Fox..... Tired of her
I’m here. I think the way the voting was going that it’s Kurt that’s leaving.
Liberals can’t help themselves. 9 times out of 10 if we are somewhere socially it will be a lib that thinks it’s a good idea to bring up politics.
Having Bristol continue to win votes each week must be a bitter pill for them to swallow.
UGH. That’s what DrO was trying to explain to me.
Sarah Palin’s interview is over, so I will rewinde to see it.
I think you could be right.
Ping - I think Bristol wil be safe this week.
Sarah Barracuda and I looked at the phone calls late last nite.

It is literally driving them crazy! On Facebook last night, some of them were talking about it.
