Palin clan at "Dancing With the Stars" finale
Remember Boogate 2010? In October “Dancing With the Stars” viewers wondered if the live audience booed Sarah Palin the first time she came to see her daughter Bristol dance.
Turned out there was no Bronx cheer then, and Palin is still happy to support the show. For the season 12 “DWTS” results show Tuesday, Sarah, Todd and Bristol Palin sat prominently in the audience to watch NFL star Hines Ward nab the mirror ball trophy.
Before the appearance, Palin tweeted Monday: “Tumultuous world gotcha' flummoxed? Divert w/tuning 2 unifying, sweet competition; Dancing w/the Stars TEAM BALLAS competes in finals tonite.” Dance pro Mark Ballas was Bristol’s partner last season and was paired up with Chelsea Kane this time around.
When Bristol competed and made it to the finals, the show’s ratings went through the roof. But it turns out that the show doesn’t need a political celebrity to succeed. This season was the most-watched ever for “DWTS.”
