Nothing else.
I agree with you, andhave said so... I’m embarrassed. I think Bristol is too. If she wins this thing completely then there will be a backlash against Sarah...
GET A FREAKIN GRIP!! It's a game show for goodness sake!! IT'S not life or death...sheesh!! There's more troubling problems facing our nation than who wins with DWTS! Good gosh!!
I think a lot of Bristol’s problems early were cause by her partner. He put her in some bad situations. She had to over come him also.
MJ has been bitching and moaning endlessly every week about Sarah and Bristol.
I’m loving every minute.
When did the slur thing happen?
Brandy is not an amateur...she dances with help of a choreographer on her concerts and music videos, it’s not ballroom dancing but she was taught since she was a teen
Just like the libs. You must know you are unfair so rather than discuss the merits you try to shut down opposing views.
Do you think that Bristol would feel good about winning under these conditions? Do you think it's acceptable she is being voted for by a bunch of people who don't even watch the show, appreciate what they are seeing, and justify their actions because being unfair to libs is ok?
No matter that as a consequence someone else was hurt. What's merit compared to the jollies of being a disruptor.
That was a quote from the post i was replying to. I think you misdirected the rage a lil bit there, we’re in agreement essentially.
True.
VOTING -- HOW IT WORKS:
During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.
Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) and online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone and text lines will stay open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until 11am (Eastern Time) the next day.
In the Dancing with the Stars Results Show, the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the competition. The scoring is divided evenly between the judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.
Viewers can vote via phone, text message or online for their favorites ONLY on the night they perform. FORMAT SUMMARY:
Lines open at the beginning of each show for viewers to phone and text vote for their favorite couples and stay open for 30 minutes after the end. The whole country can vote.
One (or more) couple(s) will be knocked out of the competition each week there is a results show. The couple with the lowest overall score is knocked out of the competition.
The scoring and format of the show is unique to the series and is not based on a standard dance championship. The decision regarding which dances are to be performed by each couple each week rests with the Producers.
THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES:
Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public's votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.
For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:
Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%
In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated.

The criteria for the viewer vote is that it simply be their favorite.
Who cares what the reason is as to why.
I don't see a requirement that the vote go to the one deemed to be the best dancer.
Do you think Bristol just was ready to go home, a couple of weeks ago I saw her break down after a dance. She was tired and missed her son. I hope keeping her in is the right thing to do. She is not her momma.
Yeah! But look at that whiner’s face. Jennifer’s expression was pure hatred. Typical hollywood lib hatred. Pathetic! Ha Ha Ha. Boy this is fun. Just imagine what’s in store in 2012. Jennifer’s face says it all. Derek’s too. Such a pair of tools.
lolol that is YOUR opinion. Obviously enough people voted for Bristol to keep her on. Don’t blame Bristol, blame Brandy’s fan base or the rules.
That implies cheating.
Do you have any evidence our side cheated?
How?
Derek comes from a very Conservative Mormon family. Doubt he is a lib.
The rules are the rules. Everyone seems to be following them to me.
There was no cheating. A person can vote multiple times.
