You realize the final shows are this week right? That’s why everyone is “enraged” because she’s made it to the finals.An armadillo with a broken leg could out-dance Palin. Pathetic to watch. It’s just rigged to keep right-wingers watching it and give the rest of the country a good villain foil. She’ll get dumped soon…big claim to fame is a teen pregnancy and not aborting the baby. With those qualifications, wow, the sky’s the limit!
Don’t be so sure! These are the finals and this has turned soley into a popularity contest; forget the dancing. I still contend the one winning isn’t Bristol, but Sarah!She’ll get dumped soon…big claim to fame is a teen pregnancy and not aborting the baby. With those qualifications, wow, the sky’s the limit!
I don’t know any right wingers that watch the show. If there’s nothing else on, my wife may turn it on, but I don’t pay attention to it. I know none of my family watches it.An armadillo with a broken leg could out-dance Palin. Pathetic to watch.

I’ve only ever seen the clips of Palin’s “dancing” since I don’t watch the show. Improved, or not, this woman is an awful “dancer” and stiff as a board.

YES!!!
Bristol is the only contestant who practiced this week while receiving death threats.
Now c’mon you have no proof that those death threats aren’t from normal everyday viewers, nothing political…no.
Hahaha… yea… those scary grandparents in the tea party must have made the threats and sent some powder to a 20 year old girl.Now c’mon you have no proof that those death threats aren’t from normal everyday viewers, nothing political…no.
Some of the negative things (sometimes quite vicious) said about her, including on this thread, are sickening. These are adults saying all this ugly stuff about a 20 year old young woman, all becuase her mother had the GallRush Limbaugh said today that they would fix the judging to ensure that Bristol wouldn’t win. Having seen the show many years, I thought he was exagerating. But he was right. They came up with a new judges score to make sure it tipped their way.
Oh well, I’m just glad that she got to stay on the show the whole time and grow. I believe that the public owed it to her after the dissing she got during the election. NO one treated Chelsea Clinton that way, they weren’t even allowed to speak about her.
Here she was a teenager, unwed and pregnant, and creeps in the media publicly ridiculed her because her mother was a vice presidential candidate. And remember Letterman making a remark about her sister months after the election, and then “apologized” because by saying that he thought he was ridiculing Bristol?!!
I was voting for her, not her mom.
to dare run for Vice President. 
OH PUHLEEZE! Anyone familiar with ballroom dance would immediately recognize the inferior quality of her performance when compared to the other real contenders. I hope in the future they no longer allow anyone to compete who is even remotely in the political limelight, but the judges scores were based upon musicality and interpretation, choreography, technique, and timing.Rush Limbaugh said today that they would fix the judging to ensure that Bristol wouldn’t win.

Uh oh…
What I think is that people take this show waaaaaaaaaaaaay too serious.
If it were not also a popularity contest there be no need to have celebrities. They could just have professional dancers and of course no one would watch.
I don’t listen to Rush, but I used to. Anyone who is familiar with his show would automatically recognize a tongue-in-cheek comment when he makes it. Without even hearing the segment, I can tell. It’s his way of poking fun at the over-the-top anger by liberals over Bristol Palin’s making it to the finals.
And, that is exactly where the “popularity” portion of the show comes from. I think the producers are smart to put a good mix of backgrounds on the show, so they can draw from multiple demographics. A celebrity’s fan base is just as important as their dance skills…until the finals.
Since you brought it up that it is an entertainment show, you should consider that many people were entertained by Bristol and casted their votes in that manner. A better dancer does not always equal the better entertainer or equal the fan favorite. Cloris Leechman was my vote getter when she was on and I don’t think she’d ever be confused for someone that could really dance. Sometimes the better dancers actually bore me to tears.
