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.

Oh brother..Carrie Ann going on about how she respects all the dancers and wants Maks to let it go.
GWB is hannity’s guest!
Yeah he seems like a smart ass, Brandy was the judges BFF, same goes for Jennifer Grey
LOL! I hope the creep does not get her bounced.
GWB is hannity’s guest!
Kurt is leaving.
Carrie Ann needs to put a sock in it
I love Kurt. He truly did have a great attitude and worked hard at it.
I feel bad for Kurt. Seems like a nice guy.
Yes. That is great news. Just think somewhere tonight a liberal’s mind exploded......lol
I saw the dances last night she did well. except for that ape suit I think the judges have been really unfair to bristol.
I was pleaseantly surprised when she made it that time. Every other time she was good enough to get through on her own without the voters. However, the judges have other ideas.....well thx for these threads....they are a godsend so i don’t have to watch all the ads....
Kurt is a true gentleman. I really like him. He’s probably a great husband and father.
ACORN VOTES!
see you all next Monday! prayers and hugs for all!
Maks will not let it go..just like Tony has not let it go.
I am not sure Maks will be back next year. He seems fed up.
Yeah I like Kurt a lot..it hurt to see Rick Fox go too, as a Die Hard Laker fan I was rooting for him too
ROTFLMBO!!!!!!
I hate that, but he got pretty far for his level of dance. He is such a classy, charismatic guy!
See ya’ll on Monday! Yay, Bris!
They are going berserk!! I just got a phone call from one...:)
If only we could vote like this in an actual election..or can we....
I’ve been watching the show for many seasons but have never voted for anything like this before.
I will try your way next week and come up with a list of log ins.
I don’t watch The View but someone I’m sure will give me a ping if Joy and Whoopie’s eyes pop out of their skulls.
