Nothing else.

Take two asprin and call me in the morning...

I’m actually thinking of voting next week...let’s FReep this gal to the top.

The ladies of my household said she made good account of herself this week, and the judges agreed scoring her with 27.

Bristol for 2010, Sarah for 2012.

You don’t like the system?

Don’t blame those who who work within it. It was a honest win.

Reserve your anger and shame for those who set up the system.

I’m surprised Brandy was voted off but Bristol should have made the finals over Kyle. I think she is much better than him.

[Fu-fu2]

“I think she deserves to win because she’s the only true amateur dancer on the show-—which was the intent of the show from its inception. The show has been moving away from its’ orginal concept by using performers with music and dancing backgrounds. Bristol’s success is moving the show back “right where it was supposed to be”...”

I agree. I didn’t think that woman from the Pussy Cat Dolls should have been there last year, and Jennifer is most known for her dancing in Dirty Dancing. I enjoy watching people with no dance experience progress each week.

Bye.

BUMP

In reality, Bristol has come farther than anyone on the show. Several of the other dancers were better (including Brandy), but they were at the top level to begin with. Pairing Jennifer with Derek (who is the best pro dancer/choreographer on the show IMO) and Brandy with Max couldn't have been pure luck. Bristol has come much farther than anyone else, and they all know it. As a recreational ballroom dancer (w/Mrs OrioleFan) I was really expecting to see Kyle get bounced - he still doesn't get the rise and fall, and often looks like he exaggerates it which doesn't look natural, plus he dances flat-footed a lot. I expect the Disney crowd is keeping him in plus the judges cut him a lot of slack for his energy. Whatever. All this goes back to the first season when the judges got it wrong because they were launching that girl's debut on Desperate Housewives. Then, to make it worse, they brought back the other couple for a dance-off and awarded them first place that night. A lot of people in the local ballroom community stopped watching the show for several years after that first season result. They should have expected the viewer voting at some point would give them a surprise or two, or three... I used my 5 votes for Bristol because it's not as easy as it looks. We've been taking lessons for 18 years now, and we still don't dance some of the dances they do on DWTS (e.g. passo doble, samba). For example, we've been taking West Coast Swing lesson sets (4 group lessons) 3 times now, and it finally clicked. It's something you really have to commit to and practice, practice, practice. Then when you get out on the dance floor in a crowd with people at all levels, you go into shock. I applaud Bristol, as she has shown the most improvement week to week.

It is up to the judges to give their best ratings to the best dancers. The instructions for audience voters is that they choose the couple they want to continue in the competition.

Bristol is the only reason I watched this year. I was surprised that Brandy didn’t get to the finals, but I’m very happy that Bristol made it. My husband doesn’t usually watch shows like DWTS, but every week he tells me to vote for Bristol. So I do. Looking forward to next week. Go Bristol!

[Clint N. Suhks]

You know when they say "not necessarily in the bottom two"? That's because Jennifer was.

[happyhomemaker]

I was so thrilled to see Bristol advance. She is a wonderful young lady and I just love her dances. She makes this mom want to take a dance class!! Personally I can’t get enough of this sweet Palin family.

[nikos1121]

Bristol was clearly embarrassed....and shocked...and I saw immediate sympathy from her to Brandy...

But when the dust clears....there will be a huge backlash... racist allegations etc....

I think our side stuffed the ballot box. You should only have one vote...and the judges should count heavily...

You can’t claim race because Kyle made it too, unless he got less votes than Bristol...

If Bristol wins this, then I’d say DWTS is unfair...

[wheresmyusa]

"If she wins, I’ll never watch the show again...."

Sounds like a win-win scenario to me. ;)

[ChicagoConservative27]

I think Kyle wins it all.

[free from tyranny]

I think the whiney Jennifer should have gone. I am her age with similar pains competing against youngsters. Deal with it.

[nikos1121]

Kyle is an amateur so was Brandy...

[Bigtigermike]

WTH? Racism against Bristol? close your mouth and close it before the bad air blows everybody away

[rbmillerjr]

You take this crap way too seriously, that’s why I rarely watch this stuff.

“stuffing the ballot box”

LOL

[tcrlaf]

The Left is going NUTZ tonite because Palin dared to say the “Derogatory Gay Slur” FAGGOTS.

You’ll note:
Calling a gay a faggot is a slur, but calling average Americans “TEABAGGERS”, another gay slur, is not.
