First of all, she is now 20, not some to-be-pitied 18 year old. Secondly, this is a dance contest for people who have accomplished something in their lives in another area than professional dance. Bristol’s ‘accomplishment’ was becoming pregnant at 17 and being Sarah Palin’s daughter. Period. If anyone has been treated unfairly, it was the real stars who have been thrown off the show in favor of this young woman who thinks that because she is a single mom (her choice) she somehow represents all young girls out there (I’m certain there are thousands of single moms actually going to school and working hard who do not have the benefit of a millionaire mother to support their running around for months to Hollywood.) No, Bristol has been treated more than fairly by the public. She’s a non-deserving finalist,isn’t she, and her mother’s coven will no doubt make sure she wins. I hope she feels really good about herself when she receives the prize and accolades and cash over people who have improved much more than she has, and without whining about their perception in the media.

Well said, Sally. Not only has Bristol Palin been criticized justifiably by the public for her slow and awkward progress, and for the cult following that has not retired her from the competition, but she’s done two things that no other DWTS contestant has ever done:

She insulted every other one of the people competing, AND the entire production staff of DWTS by saying the reason people are voting for her is because she’s “real”, not “fake Hollywood” (biting the hand that feeds you).
Then she called out dance pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy specifically, saying to a Hollywood gossip magazine that Maks “didn’t like her” (thus ensuring her cult fans “hate” on him).

I think it is hysterical that Palin is still on this show, She doesn’t have any dance moves, she has not accomplished anything but to get pregnant at 17.. it’s all about her mother and the tea party followers who keep her coming back, it certainly isn’t because she deserves to be there..too bad politics has to enter every facet of our lives including entertainment..but that’s the Palins always have to be in the lime light..

Definitely starting a movement to boycott DWTS. The judges are corrupt. The program is corrupt. She should have never received a score above 6 for any of her dancing. The judges gave her high scores, so that she would be reachable. It’s all fixed and pre-planned. Just a soap opera like the poor girl’s entire life has become. I feel sorry for her making a fool of herself. She’s probably a nice girl (like 100,000,000 other nice girls), nothing special though.

I think this is ridiculous this year and the only reason Bristol is still there is because of her mother. I am sick to death of hearing about this family and all their crap. People who never watched the show before are voting for her and it’s all politics again. I have watched DWTS every year since it started but will tell you I am done and will never watch it again.
