From what I've heard, it didn't keep her from whining and making excuses.
Jennifer Grey, like many of the other contestants, had to be "bleeped" time and again due to their foul mouths. I saw the clip of Bristol Palin and the middle finger thing, she was being funny and accurate at the same time.
At the end of the day none of this matters. It is TV which is not a thing real in the first place. The producers must LOVE Bristol Palin and the huge number of new veiwers she brought in. In that regard Bristol Palin was the star of the show because she gave them viewer numbers they would not have had. Because of that they were able to charge more money for the commercial spots. And THAT is the best thing I saw. The wonderful capitalistic system at work. Bristol Palin brought in the dough and frankly it was part of her job to gin up more talk by saying things like the middle finger thing. She played her part perfectly and while I did not watch every second of her what I did see I liked. There is no doubt that the big winner, besides the producers and the network, was without a doubt Bristol Palin.
