'Dancing With the Stars' Finale with Bristol Palin Mon 8pm Tues-9 Live Thread! VOTE 800-868-3407
WJRT-TV ^ | 11/22/10

Posted on 11/22/2010 3:50:45 PM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

Tonight is the final chance for the three remaining contestants on "Dancing With the Stars" to impress the viewers at home.

As we've seen this season in particular, high scores from the judges may be nice. But, it's the viewers who matter because their votes can make an impact.

Going into tonight's season finale are Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey & Bristol Palin.

Getting to this point wasn't always a smooth trip. There were some tense moments at the production office for "Dancing With the Stars."

ABC says a white powder in an envelope was delivered to the office this past Friday. It turned out to be talcum powder.

But, before they knew that, hazardous materials officials with the city of Los Angeles, fire department, police and FBI arrived at the studio lot where the ABC show airs.

This comes just days after the shock that viewers have put low-scorer Bristol Palin in the finals of "Dancing With the Stars," while voting off Brandy, who's had some of the highest scores from the judges.

Watch tonight's show at 8 p.m. and the results show Tuesday at 9 p.m. on ABC.

They will announce at the beginning of the show how many times you can vote on each phone. I believe it will be 4.

It’s not about just voting for the best dancer. That’s not what the show is about. Even the judges will say it is about the “journey”. Voting for just the best dancer would be kind of a joke since they are putting people with dancing and performing experience against people with none.

Some of it has to do with who has worked the hardest, who has improved the most, who has been the best ‘sport’ about it all etc. It’s subjective that is why they allow the audience to vote for “who they want to see dance again next week” and their “favorite”. It’s a popularity contest as well.

People who continue to think that you have to vote for the best dancer do not understand the show. And on the show website they tell you that they give the same weight to the judges’s scoring as they do the public scoring and that sometimes brings “unexpected” results.

If this was just about who is the best dancer we all would know that Jennifer Grey should be and is the best dancer. Big deal. She should be with her background. Why would anyone want to watch that?

On the web the site says that you are allowed, I think it is 5 votes. At least it did. It counts them down for you. This is because there are multiple dance couples. This may have change since there are only 3 now but it may not have. Look carefully at the page where you vote and it will tell you.

Thanks for the ping. I haven’t watched the show but after all the hoopla this last week the tv is on and ready to go.

You apparently cared enough to tell us you don’t care. If you don’t want to help make liberals’ heads explode, then fine, thanks for you fine input.

I posted this this morning on the Rush thread, in response to a discussion of the monkey suits:

You know it was intentional to make her look stupid by the producers...

Of course it was. Just look at the song selections the producers chose for Bristol during the early weeks.

Week 1: Momma Told Me (not to come)
Week 2: You Can't Hurry Love
Week 3: Just The Way You Are
Week 5: Theme from The Monkees ("People say we're monkeying around.")
Week 6: According To You ("...I'm stupid, I'm useless, I can't do anything right.")

I think they're past playing games with the music now.

Five votes per phone line. Same with text votes. I believe that it is the same with the online voting.

Thanks for the link. My husband and I never watched the show, but, we’re voting. Perhaps the libs will be more concerned with voter fraud. Sweet revenge.

No, Brandy had less voters calling for her. It’s just that simple.

Jennifer’s dad is a professional danced (he was in Cabaret!) and professional choreographer. Jennifer has a huge and unfair advantage compared to someone like Bristol with ZERO performance or dance background.
