No, this is like what it is - a popularity contest in which the winner isn't going to influence the destruction of our country. People who think this is a serious competition don't understand the nature of the show. It is 50/50 between judged votes and "fans" it's just that simple. And in this case Bristol deserve it for the fact that she started with NO experience and, according to the shows producer, has shown more improvement than any other similar armature in 11 seasons. If it were strictly about dancing ability, then it would have been completely unfair to pit someone like Brandy or Jennifer who both have loads of dance and performance experience against someone like Bristol for whom the closet thing to dance experience she has was when she was running the tires in high school FOOTBALL practice. The only chance a total amateur has is if they have a strong enough fan base to overcome lower judge's scores. Kyle was also not as good a dancer as Brandy, yet he also beat her to make the finals, but we don't hear any complaints about him!

Truth be told, I think the producers of this show picked Bristol for the show because I honestly think they thought she would stink and be an embarrassment to her mom.

She has busted her ass on this and was able to improve enough to score solid 9s! I feel bad for Brandy, but this isn't the first time nor will it be the last that a better dancer got the hook because they did not have enough viewer votes. Brandy is no amateur - she's a professional and will get over this loss with her next Emmy!

“People who think this is a serious competition don’t understand the nature of the show.”

Which is exactly why asking people who don’t watch to vote is like voting for a black man because he is black. No it will not destroy the nation, but what about the others in the competition and what about others watching?

Anyone know what is going on in Helmand province or Somalia? I’m going to go do my daily search.
