Me too!!
Hubby and I both thought Bristol showed so much grace, and poise. She was a joy to watch. Congratulations to the Palin family for raising such a wonderful daughter.
Yes, dear mojo114.
I love everything you wrote!
Dittoes!
I think Bristol did a great job throughout the series. She was mostly upbeat, very dignified. There was a point when her little sister called someone gay or some such. Bristol apologized for her sister.
Bristol did cry once but I think that was just for scripted effect I think. Most times she smiled and whenever asked a question she responded very nicely. She has little dance/entertainment background. She wasn’t the greatest dancer. Frankly I think third is a darn good showing for Bristol; she should be way proud.
Kyle had personality plus. He wasn’t all that great of a dancer but he sure had fun dancing. If he’d won I’d have been happy.
Jennifer, like so many pointed out, was an ersatz professional dancer. I don’t know what the rules are but it sure seems unfair to have those other dancers have to compete against Jennifer Grey.
Jennifer was a good dancer. I really enjoy this show and love to watch the dancing. Some folks, they like football. and nobody makes fun of them. But I digress.
I thought all that teary angst was overkill. I do think she was destined to win and the tears were scripted to garner sympathy from the audience.
These reality shows are heavily scripted. I say this as a reality show junkee, not that I’m all that proud of that.
I’d suggest the universe has unfolded as it should. To all those who say Palin is so hated, I’d suggest that Bristol Palin got carried along because so many people like Palin. While Bristol improved her dancing quadruple, it really wasn’t until the last three shows or so that she really blossomed. A lot of waaaaay better dancers got booted off, including my original choice of Audrina Patridge, because Bristol was kind of a straw poll for Sarah. That and she’s a delightful young woman as I saw it.
ABC did a fine job defending Bristol from the nut cases. Hell, it was win-win...Bristol brought so much attention to ABC they made out like bandits.
Just wait till Christine O’Donnell goes on the show. The libtards will blow up all their TV’s.
