warped world of the USA where Dancing with Stars is more important than a shooting war resuming on the Korean Peninsula
Well Jennifer Grey is a performer and has been dancing for years. Really when you think about it, it’s like having an amateur football game and a professional shows up to play.
Bristol the Pistol is a doll. Congrats to her. I am very happy she showed such character, and also that she has a good paycheck. What I want to know is does anyone believe Jen rupture a disk Monday and danced Tuesday?
She has more maturity and grace than 50 year old whiny camera hog Jennifer Grey. Bristol did Alaska and her family proud. Now, if she can only wise up about that loser Levi.
I was recently looking at some UTUBE scenes of Jennifer Grey dancing with Patrick Swayzee in Dirty Dancing. She was billed as an actress and amateur dancer in this contest where amateurs were pared with professionals. Looking at Greys’ performances in Dirty Dancing, I would hardly categorize her as an “Amateur”. It was a Pro dancing with a Pro against couples where there were Amateurs’ dancing with Pros’. It was a “No Contest” for Grey from the start who was perfect in every dance.
There could not have been a bigger underdog than Bristol Palin. A twenty year old, two years from high school and some dancing at a prom? Compared to Jennifer Gray and her injuries excuses, along with the older, experienced contestants that Bristol competed with, she did absolutely fantastic in more ways than one! Kudos and plaudits to Bristol for her courage to come out of her shell and join the competition, winning 3rd place!
Telling the television audience that a win would be a huge middle finger to all those who hate her mother and who hate her is neither gracious or lady-like.
Professional dancer, feigning accident, trumps amateurs.
Dog bites man.
Bears ..
As another posters (sorry, forgot who) said,
No matter what happens, BRISTOL PALIN is already a WINNER.
I like Bristol but she wasn’t the best dancer. It would have been bad for her personally to win. I like her more with the loss.
Jennifer Grey is a drama queen. By the end of last night, I really didn’t like her.
I really liked Kyle Massey and if I had my preference, he would have won, Bristol would have come in second and Grey would have come in last.
Gracious? Lady? What kind of gracious lady says winning would be a big middle finger to those who don’t like her mother?
It was a dancing competition not a venue to payback political enemies.
LOL after reading all these comments and comments from an earlier post about the dancing show. Thankfully, Bristol knows how to lose with class and dignity. That can’t be said for any of her fans here on Free Republic. Too funny. :-)
The drama queen won because she got the anti-Palin vote.
Does this mean finally, we don’t have to hear about this stupid show anymore?
Congratulations Bristol The Pistol. You kinda sound like her mother there. A Momma Grizzly in training?
I watched DWTS for the first time just to keep up with Bristol and vote for her. I am glad she was kept in till the end because she improved greatly week to week and demonstrated her ability to learn quickly and to persevere at a daunting task. Grey was obviously begging for a sympathy vote and I had a hard time watching the fake pity me expressions. I was surprised at the open bias of the judges favoring Grey and their fawning and pandering to her. They gave her a ten more often than she earned and gave Bristol eights to offset her high call in votes. Politics is politics the world over. Good show for Bristol and I wish her well for the future.
