I would NEVER encourage people to vote against Bristol just to be mean or to make a statement about her mother.
I want each and every one of the people who read this to vote according to their own interpretation of who deserves to stay and who deserves to go, based on their DANCING, NOT based on whose mother they do, or don't like.
Now I know many of you have already watched the episode and formed your opinion, and want to share them, And that is fine, feel free to do so.
Personally I have not yet seen it because I live in Alaska, and it is still 30 minutes in my future. Stupid Alaska!
However after I have watched the show (For the first time ever by the way. I guess ABC should thank Bristol for at least ONE new viewer), I will dutifully go to this site and cast my vote.
What is it that Sarah is always squawking about? "Do you love your freedom?"
Why yes we do, thanks for asking. So since we love our freedom we will exercise it by choosing either to vote your little baby maker off the show, or vote to keep her on, based solely on our own individual criteria. Because that is how we roll over here on the liberal side of the blogosphere.
Update: Hey even Mercede is sending her good wishes to Bristol tonight.
Update 2: Here is video of Bristol's dance. What do you think?
I voted against McCain because of Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin is selling abstinence as the ONLY acceptable method of pre-marital birth control. I will vote against Bristol Palin ever chance I get.
Bristol, you can't dance, so go to college and get yourself a career because your kid's child support money is going to shrink and your marital prospects are dismal.
ReplyDeleteI thought Bristol danced better than many would have thought and she was obviously out of her element.She tried hard and deserves credit. That said, I felt that there was WAY too much emphasis on Sarah in the introduction. This is Bristol's moment in the sun- treat her as her own person, not SP's daughter. I hope this is the last time we hear about Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with Bristol. This is a girl who was once so visually terrified and introverted in public view. I'd say she's definitely growing into a mini Sarah. You're in for a treat
ReplyDeleteWell, how noble of you Gryphen, but no need, she really did suck. Poor thing....it almost looks painful for her. I actually heard the audience laughing at her when she ripped off her suit. I can't even imagine how numb a girl her age would have to be in order to be able to stand up to what has been/will be coming her way. It is not courage--that's for sure. She is just doing what she is told to do for the overall cause(get rich quick--no skill required). No sane young women with her baggage would continue to subject herself to this shameful public exposure. I have read that she has abused drugs, that might explain her dazed responses and lack of presence. She is just a blob, Oh and she does NOT have nice legs--her mom's legs at 47 look better than hers. Did I hear her say she played sports? Soccer? Basketball? When she was in elementary school? She has been doing a good deal of laying around then for quite a few years. Chasing around and holding a toddler would at least give you some biceps and trim legs?????? She is really out of shape for her age. Too bad she won't be on the show long enough to lose some weight and get in shape. Nope, just long enough for us to have a good laugh--so very, very sad. Hope she is saving her money for counseling--she is going to need it. Really, at the end of the day, SARAH is a really bad mother. She is destroying her daughter.
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight, since Bristol is being paid hundreds of thousands to appear on DWTS, and she gets thousands for speaking about abstinence. She says "don't do it!" because look what happened to her. She has a cute kid, she had a condo and a swell job, a car, a truck, and she made money every time she appeared in the tabloids. The kid too. Now, she is a star, and people want to dance with her. So, let me get this straight again, having a child as an unwed teen is a bad thing exactly why?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, spoiler alert, putting Bristol in a bright red dress does say in all. In Puritan times, the big red A was for adultery. We don't have a color or a letter for "out of wedlock," but the big red A certainly doesn't stand for abstinence.
I didn't watch and I'm not voting but if I were voting I'd vote for Brystil. Why? Because I think she's never worked a day in her life and I'll bet these rehearsals are kicking her butt. Be careful what you wish for Brystil; remember how your Mommie Dearest wanted to be Gov until it got to be too hard???
ReplyDeleteI don't have cable or other tv hookups, but checked out the ABC site on the internet. I am a Jennifer Grey fan and I wish I could see her dance again.
ReplyDeleteI sent jennifer all my votes. I also like Margaret Cho. Bristol got a lot of favorable comments, but many who sent her best wishes also noted that she is still learning, so that might be pretty obvious. One comment already blames her partner as a poor teacher!
Oh well, I wish Jennifer Grey and her partner the best.
I am not after Bristol about her Mom, but the abstinence thing is a crock. She is making a lot of money because she had a child out of wedlock. That's also an excellent way to stick it to the establishment.
Way to go Jennifer!!
Mark had to dance up a STORM to make it look like anything was happening. She even had to strip off her clothes to make it seem like SOMETHING was going on or that she was pulling her weight in the duo (no pun intended). I hope we get to see more of her doing this sort of thing: shimmying, hiking her legs up higher. It's so presidential to have your adult daughter stripping off her dress on ABC for $$ each week. How weird it's going to be for Tripp to see this footage someday. Hey, $P: who's all Ricky Hollywood now?
ReplyDeleteBristol can't dance, she looked just awful. She still is claiming she was working at the dermatologist's office when she received the offer from DWTS. What was that about Paylin and no lie to small? It runs in the family all right. Oh and I doubt Bristol will be doing any magazine covers anytime soon.
ReplyDeletelaprofesora.......you made me laugh. I agree with you. She is probably having a very hard time. However, she did not appear to be trying all that hard either---no enthusiasm, just-----can't find the word, have to make one up.
ReplyDeleteI thought Bristol danced better than many would have thought and she was obviously out of her element.She tried hard and deserves credit. That said, I felt that there was WAY too much emphasis on Sarah in the introduction. This is Bristol's moment in the sun- treat her as her own person, not SP's daughter. I hope this is the last time we hear about Sarah.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we can't vote for Bristol to be cut. But they give us 12 votes to use on other people. So everyone who scored low that I thought did no worse or better than Bristol but who's score didn't reflect this got my vote.
ReplyDeleteI noticed last season (my first watching any) and tonight that the judges scoring is arbitrary & capricious. Bristol should not have received higher scores for tearing off her clothes and standing in one place and shaking it than Margaret Chao received for her waltz. (Although the getting tangled up in the wing things did detract.)
Regardless of how she dances, I don't vote for liars who don't own up to having their own babies.
ReplyDeleteWe need to vote FOR her. The more weeks she has to stay, the more she has to rehearse and work for less money! She got $100,000 to make it through weeks 1 & 2. She gets only $20,000 for each additional week. She's HOPING she gets voted off. Vote FOR Bristol. Make that chunky monkey dance!
ReplyDeleteI watched it here in the lower 48 and she looked terrified coming down the steps... The best part was at the end when they asked how her life has changed since being a receptionist a few months ago and now this. She said... "it's changed alot!" Well, I think we all knew that already, but how? That was all she could come up with. And then this brief awkward moment right after that...I think I then heard some stiffled laughs in the audience. I don't know - it seems so blaringly obvious there is this shameless seizing of a money making opportunity no matter what. But if it were me at that age, I'd probably be doing the same thing. Let's just hope she's starting a college fund for Trig and will invest the money wisely once this brief shining moment in the spotlight ends.
ReplyDeleteBristol did a good job. You could tell she was nervous, she danced stiffly. But I'm sure her fans will vote to keep her on the show a long time. She'll eventually get more comfortable and graceful.
ReplyDeleteI split my 12 online votes between Kyle, Rick and Brandy.
Bristol has no rhythm and furthermore she even failed at the "rhythm method."
ReplyDeleteActually Bristol danced better than Kate Gosslin! :-)
ReplyDelete"Mama Told Me (Not to Come)"? They SERIOUSLY need sex ed up there in Alaska. It's the guy you have to worry about.
ReplyDeleteVery modest dress, Bristle. It just barely covered your panties.
OK, it's on now, and the TV Camera just ran down the line of all the dancers. There were sequined gowns, sexy dance dresses, strapless numbers, and then there was Bristol. Wearing (not kidding) a charcoal grey (wool-looking?!) knee-length skirt and blazer, with a red silk blouse up to her chin, with a big red self-bow at the neck. My Grandmother might have worn it for a job interview. What the Hell???
ReplyDeleteYou will find her appearance to be interesting for sure! What is up with that belly and the BIG SCARF? I know it is a joke but I am horrible at getting jokes. As for her dancing, don't you worry, the judges gave her the kid glove "after all you aren't a celebrity but boy can you open those legs" treatment. Okay, not a direct quote, but again, I get the feeling there's a joke involved.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't Sarah go, she said she would be sitting in the front row. Wonder what happened.
ReplyDeletePS, Sarah was a no show. Huh. Didn't Bristol promise?
ReplyDelete"To dance the cha cha, she chose the classic tune 'Mama Told Me (Not to Come),' saying that it summed up her relationship with ex-fiance Levi Johnston (father of her baby son). 'Mama told me not to do it, but I did it anyway!' she said, referring to her mother, former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin (who was a no-show at the DWTS broadcast)."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/the-situation-bombs-on-dwts-2010209
As long as all she had to do was stand and pose, Bristol did ok. Skill at dancing? Not so much- And she was painful during the interview portion.
ReplyDeleteThere were worse contestants, but I think she's in the bottom group...unless the palinbots vote early and often.
CO Almost Native
Why do people say Bristol hasn't worked a day in her life? She started working at least parttime at 15 or 16 and she has commerical fished (check out past declarations from Sarah's days as Gov. You people are unnecessarily biased and hateful people. I'm not saying she should win but she certainly wasn't the worst and even Mark is on the record saying they put in the most rehearsal time.
ReplyDeletePoor, miserable child! Imagine being the daughter of this mother, of these parents, growing up in this shit of a family. I feel so sorry for her. Of course, she is beyond screwed up. Who wouldn't?
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show but her only hope of finding her own identity is to do as many things as possible that will define her apart from this insane family. Her efforts might seem pathetic - and they are - but what else can she do?
DWTS is on now but I'm watching House -- love scene!
ReplyDeleteI watched the clip of Bristol's performance and sent a few votes her way. I'm on belly-watch and want her to stick around.
Her partner did a great job making her look as good as possible. I thought it was pathetic, however, that the routine centered around Sarah.
There were 3 judges......each voted a score of 6. Which equals.......6 6 6. Kinda scarey, huh?
ReplyDelete"Your Momma don't dance..."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mStOIZniau0
I'm sure the Palinbots have made it their mission to take the daughter of Sarah Jesus Palin all the way to the top. So what if their children continue to eat rice?
ReplyDeleteGryphen, can you add a link so we can see the show or is that not possible? At least maybe her part, but I'd like to see all of it? Any ideas out there?
ReplyDeleteShould you want to watch it early... or see the performance again, it is on YouTube.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxMuJURf4eA
The BRIGHT red lipstick doesn't work... for Her. It looks like she is ' selling herself '( to the lowest bidder ) Ohhh... that's Right. She IS.
I haven't watched DWTS since the first season. I'm not a fan of the show and I have no intentions in watching just because an unwed teenage mom is on the show.
ReplyDeleteThere are thousands of unwed teen mothers in this country who don't have such luxuries as Bristol. Bristol disgusts me and I don't care how old she is. She is greedy just like her mother.
She doesn't set a good example for teen mothers. Instead of giving high price speeches and acting like a celebrity, she should go to college and work. I thought working and not waiting for handouts are Republicans' values?
I am not impressed with the wannabe celebretard Bristol. She claimed to be a 'teen avocated for abstence' and that just 3 weeks ago, she was a 'receptionist'.
ReplyDeleteShe did dance a bit better than Cho, but I find cho much more entertaining.
Good post Gryphen - I agree, and will vote for who is the best dancer.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, at the peezoo, the mindless have received their orders from A. Ross - they are to vote TWELVE times from EACH phone and ONLY for Bristol. All will OBEY!
The cult members were not even told that if they call from cell phones, it costs nearly $4.00 per call.
I, too, wish Bristol good luck - I think this is a good thing for her - seeing the world outside Wasilla.
Wonder why scarah did not show up, after all the hype about her being there. My guess is that there was a "list of demands" for the Queen, and the studio said "nevermind."
Interesting...the after-dance interview said she was a receptionist....not office manager. Duh!
ReplyDeleteBrandy was lovely and modestly dressed. Stupid palins say she will be modest and pure...and then strips off her dress, shakes her hips, and shakes boobage. I'm not a prude, just pointing out the innacurracies in Palins story. Poor girl is dull....and living in mommys shadow.'
"Make that chunky monkey dance!"
ReplyDeleteROTF!!!
Disregard my last comment. I went hunting for it and saw Bristol's performance. It wasn't horrible, but it's probably good that it wasn't long.
ReplyDeleteI know I am in the minority, but I feel sorry for Bristol. She was thrown into the harsh eye of the public by her crazy mother and has been badly advised. I wish her well. Just because her mother is a crazy bitch should not reflect on her. However this all ends, it will not be well for her or Tripp. Too bad she just can't break away from the crazy and be herself. Perhaps this is what she is trying to do by doing DWTS.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch, no way would I normally, so I'm not going to contribute to this joke.
ReplyDeleteIt's just embarrassing.
And yes, who's Rikki Hollywood now?
I think Bristol did good, a lot better than I expected. I voted for everybody but Margaret, because she messed up big time... It look like Bristol kick her @$$ lol...
ReplyDeleteAs long as this is all about Sarah, the next song selection should be... Momma's got a squeezebox,
ReplyDeleteShe wears on her chest,
And when Daddy comes home,
He doesn't get no rest!
I'd like to see Bristol get as far as she can in the show, so when reporters ask her about Levi, she can repeat her disgust of his being a seeker of the limelight. Hopefully, then bots will start to admit that Bristol projects her behavior onto others.
ReplyDeleteHer outfit really was short, she spared no girl modesty with her torso and boob shimmer. I really like her partner, Mr. Ballas. He's a good sport.
I think we should allow Bristol a chance to win, as she actually did train, and workout so she deserves some merit. I think her success will upset Sarah, as she can't control Bristol's life anymore, and Bristol may just start dating some young good-looking catch down thar in the Hollywood Hills.
I almost believe that Bristol is calling the shots here and bunker bustin' out of those costumes to give a message to mom. Leave me alone!
I don't watch DWTS religiously, but I do watch it.
ReplyDeleteThis round, I've already decided who my voting pool will include: Margaret Cho, Florence Henderson, and Jennifer Grey.
7:23 anonymous says "You people are unnecessarily biased and hateful people."
ReplyDeleteA very Christian opinion and so gracefully expressed! You must be Sarah Palin's ghost writer.
all this damn attention because she -----d her legs and got knocked up!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! What happened to, "I'll be wearing a modest outfit"? That was a hoochie mama outfit if ever there was one! And who the hell did the makeup? Her footwork was better than anything I could do, but man what a slutty outfit! She looked like a hooker.
ReplyDeletewell IMHO she looked like a street walker.... only most of them can dance better and probably command a higher price.... One thing I do know She CAN'T DANCE.... she stood there and let him dance around her making the illusion that she was actually dancing unless she was shaking her junk......
ReplyDeleteWHOA she looks a bit hefty in the mid section tho!!!!
$10 says someone is going to get a Weight Watchers contract next!
ReplyDeleteYou know how you used to pair a toy soldier / wrestler with a Barbie cause they are the only male & female pairing you can do as an imaginative child? Seriously, she looks supersized over little Ballas!
ReplyDeleteMark is obviously a talented dancer, but his being a lean-mean vessel makes her look like Ginormica. Not flattering.
Bristol, honey, if you are truly a stage-fright, shy girl, quit forcing yourself out in Hollywood. We don't need you to entertain us. But if you are exploiting the family trait of ramping up such rhetoric to make us lower the bar so you can hurdle it and seem credible, well, you deserve to be voted off before Cho.
The hypocrisy of it all is incredible. I feel more and more sorry for Levi who had to take SP's nasty comment about Ricky Hollywood, and then here you go, her own daughter has gone full on Hollywood, and it's perfectly OK. These are say anything, do anything grifters of the highest order.
ReplyDeleteWow. He is sexy.
ReplyDeleteShe, on the other hand, looks like a prostitute. I hope he is voted off very soon. Either that or falls and...
Sorry, Gryphen, she is just too mean like her horrible and too much of a hypocrite like her mother for me to be as magnanimous as you are to wish her well.
I believe when Sarah saw what Bristol was going to wear on the show and the type of dance, with all the touching, She did show up.... LOL... Bristol did good...
ReplyDeleteThnaks for posting the video Gryph - I wasn't about to watch the whole show.
ReplyDeleteBit thick in the thighs for that short of dress - has the hip jerk movement down, tooo much make up. May do better next week.
So did Quitter NOT show to a) steal the spotlight from Bristol or b) keep everyone hanging for when she eventually does show up?
The part that I found the most...interesting, was the portion of program that showed her rehearsing in the green danskin top.
ReplyDelete"Make That Chunky Monkey Dance!!"
ReplyDeleteyou just made my night!!!!
Any bets on how much she outweighs Ballas fils by? I'm guessing 30-40pounds - for poor Mark's sake, I hope the choreographers don't saddle him with a lot of lifts!
ReplyDeleteTalk about thunder thighs.
Thanks for posting the video, Gryph!
ReplyDeleteShe looks pregnant.
ReplyDeleteOuch. Seriously. Having sympathy squeamishness in spite of how much I dislike everything about her. I'm embarrassed just watching it. And who dressed her in that?!
ReplyDeleteThe judges must have received "pre-emptive" phone threats from Mommie Dearest to give her scores that high.
I'd do her, but my good christian values tell me to avoid this harlot.
ReplyDeleteMomma told me not to come, but I did anyway. Her mom should be ashamed of of that song, satan's dress showing all her thighs, and blatant sexual tone of the whole number.
I certainly hope someone with christian values will ask her mom about how she squared that one with God.
More like she told her momma not to come and she stayed home.
Bristol Palin's dance performance should go over really big with her mother's evangelical Christian base.
ReplyDeleteEvangelical Moms and Pops will have a harder time trying to convince their own daughters to behave modestly after Queen Esther's daughter got herself knocked-up, and was rewarded for it with a gig on DWTS shaking her butt in a red fringe skimpy dress.
Christian "Family values" in the GOP apparently aren't what they say they are --- but then we already knew that. Hypocritical to the core.
I have to say (never having watched the show before) that Bristol did pretty well, all things considered. Whatever one thinks of her - and I have mixed feelings - it was incredibly difficult to do what she did. But, "Dirty Dancing" has a permanent place on my iPod and watching Jennifer Gray was worth sitting through everyone else.
ReplyDeletelook, it's bristol hollywood! lmao
ReplyDeletewell bristol didn't fall flat on her face, but that routine sure as hell didn't take any talent to pull off. every human can shake their ass, doesn't require training.
looking forward to the screen shot gryphen, I noticed that too.
She's a bit stiff.
ReplyDeleteBut she did remember to smile through the whole thing.
It was pretty obvious her partner was carrying her through it. I'm sure through a combination of inexperience and lack of rehearsal.
I didn't see the other contestants because I don't want the show, but I'm betting even Florence Henderson wiped the floor with her.
Was she the worst? I have no way of knowing.
Will she win? No way. She just doesn't move that well and no amount of rehearsal is going to fix that.
Tip to Bristol: Bend your knees, honey. You're locking your knees. Very bad. And tighten the frame.
Thanks for posting Gryphen. That's no Cha, cha by a long shot. Shouldn't the judges call on that one?
ReplyDeleteShe really can't dance. Moves a round, but no rhythem to the music.
Mark Ballas danced circles around Bristol. I enjoyed his footwork and cha cha steps. BP pulled her part off striking poses, shaking her hips, chest and strong arm movements. With all the hype the bar was low so shse stepped over it.
ReplyDeletePresonally BP dressed as Sarah and the statements taking a stab at Levi as if this is all in tribute to mama Grizzly is disgusting. Heck, if lowering your self gets the big bucks paying tribute to mommy dearest who could not bother to be there.
Once again Bristol lies about the "modest costumes". The habitual lying is repulsive to me and many people. Why is chronic lying rewarded and getting preggars then quitting HS worthy of big bucks? BP lied about the prom, lied about being an office manager..lied under oath. The dancing was passable but the lying she'll be a winner like her mother.
I have watched this show many times in the past. From my point of view, Bristol was in this thing way over her head. Just like Granny Palin is in politics way over her head. Genetics, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteBoth need to get real lives out of the spotlight they are working so hard to keep going.
Are we really not supposed to be able to see that she's pregnant? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Bristol and Sarah publicly criticize Levi for seeking the "limelight" as a "Ricky Hollywood???"
ReplyDeleteRight.
These Palin gals are the world's biggest hypocrites. Or in Bristol's case tonight -- hippocrite.
Mark definitely carried the dance, and made her look good. I like Mark a lot. Did you know he has been raising money for suicide prevention, after his uncle died this way? Mark has been involved with public awareness about suicide and depression. Bristol didn't do much in the way of actual dancing, but she looked good. I can see her getting better as the show progresses.
ReplyDeleteAll in all it is another oddity. She did better than I thought but it was "Mark had to dance up a STORM." She was made up like she was 76 years-old, that part was disappointing, I was looking forward to a beautiful make up job. Too much red is not a good thing. The fringe did nothing but make her look like a hairy ball flitting about. The jiggling transferred to her arm fat and fat was what you imagined bouncing about. The symbology was harsh and too bad they lead off with having to escape her mother, which she did not do. It was almost a bigger impact that Sarah didn't show up. The Palin ghost engulfed the kid. The worst moment was when she awkwardly removed her mother's skin (costume). Nothing there but this weird shading hairy ball. I was wondering if she was going for a 1920 flapper look? She did not reveal youth or making her own way. More of a what is it game.
ReplyDeleteAt times she had some fun, or at least you thought there was a chance. The smile was a little too plastered. She did beat The Situation guy, but he had little practice and was stuck in his own time warp. They both failed but can improve.
I was blown away with Jennifer Grey, her body moves so gracefully. What an exquisite dance. The male athletes were great to watch and I loved Brandy. I'd never seen the show before and I do love dance. I may watch next week.
Mommy loved it:
ReplyDeleteOver-the-moon excited and happy for Bristol! Cheering her on @ DWTS party in the Palin living room. http://twitpic.com/2qi4h8
Technically she didnt lie about her costumes. She WAS dressed conservatively. In show business, a big part is drumming up suspense and then go the opposite direction.
ReplyDeleteThe whole show proved to one of the most entertaining eps of DWTS ever. EVeryone was having fun.
That was no blueberry, was it a big red cherry?
ReplyDeleteMiddle school play. Violet turns into a blueberry.
I haven't seen the show before but caught some of it. Will she keep trying to shake off her mother each week with a different theme and dance? I thought for a moment at the very first it would be an Apache dance and it might work. She might be able to do sultry.
ReplyDeleteI hated the way she went into the second outfit. An Apache cha cha dance wouldn't be that much of a stretch. Not as bad a choice as what they went with. A red egg shape thing. Why? I have no idea what she was thinking, will she explain that later?
What do I think? He did good. She did not.
ReplyDeleteShe is not a dancer and it shows. She is a mean girl who is snarky to people she doesn't like so it is hard fir me to overlook her snark and appreciate that she seemed to be having fun in spite of her lack of natural talent.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone lambasting her clothing choice, next time you go to an Evangelical Christian service at a mega church like ABT or Birchwood, note how the girls dress for singing. They are cute but often in mini-skirts and more concerned with their looks and execution of the song than in making joyful noises to the Lord. Maybe not like BP's, but she was appropriate for DWTS.
Bristol will not set trends. She is insecure and thrives on approval and will follow trends. She will not set a good example for how to get along with an ex. There is nothing original about her. She might come around when she is 40+.
"Mark Ballas danced circles around Bristol. I enjoyed his footwork and cha cha steps. BP pulled her part off striking poses, shaking her hips, chest and strong arm movements. With all the hype the bar was low so she stepped over it."
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha. The bar being set low -- sounds like Sarah at the vice presidential debate.
I watched the clip of Bristol. Now I have never watched DWTS, so perhaps it is par for the course, but I didn't feel Bristol was really "dancing" but rather was just shaking her Christian t-ts and her Christian ass in a sexually suggestive manner. (As I have said, I have never previously watched DWTS, so perhaps T&A is what the show is about). All I could think, however, is how slutty Bristol looked shaking her born again virgin body lasciviously. Seemed a bit incongruous for an evangelical Christian, but I guess no less incongruous than all the Larry Craigs of the world secretly having gay encounters in airport restrooms.
*That's* her version of beng more modest?!? What a good little xian girl it is, shaking it's T&A.
ReplyDeleteOh, and when you're so dull that stage makeup doesn't help, and you can't dance to a beat that blatent-- too bad these things aren't actually run on votes. Because the producers will of course keep her on for the money.
And just to reiterate -- since when do good little xian ladies shake that thang?
hey gryphen this clip has the green shirt rehearsal scene. pause at 1:33 -
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89yiGsd2ARA
DWTS lost a viewer here, never watching again. May their ratings slide into oblivion.
ReplyDeleteBristol dances as well as she acts. I think that real problem isn't her dancing it's that she is on the show to begin with. Can she act, sing, dance, is she famous for anything besides getting pregnant and being SP daughter? No!!!!! I have to wonder just what this is doing to our children seeing shows that glamorize teen pregnancy. I have never watched DWTS and I reluctantly watched it tonight for the first and only time.
ReplyDeleteI think Mark is amazing and did a terrific job. He was really up against it and kept her on her feet. He was something else.
ReplyDelete"Oh and she does NOT have nice legs--her mom's legs at 47 look better than hers."
ReplyDeleteWhen CA said that, the first thing that came to my mind is what we say about horse who's poorly put together........"She has a nice tail." I cracked up at Bruno's virgin comment. Ya, right Bruno.......there's NOTHING virgin about this chunky sow.
Yes, Gryphen, Brisket looks knocked up again in that practice segment. Or, was knocked up and had a white-out experience.
She wasn't as bad as I had expected and like someone else mentioned there was too much about Sarah in her introduction.
ReplyDeleteI felt it was typically Sarah to not be there for her daughter's big night. The date has been known for weeks now surely the selfish bitch could have at least made an appearance for her kid.
Having said all that I won't vote for Bristol for any reason. She will need to find votes else.
Wow I'd hate to see her not dressed modestly. Sure it was modest compared to most of the other ladies but it was very short. I think the judges were afraid they would get nasty emails or death threats because they treated her with kid gloves, while they thrashed The Hoff and others. They must be scared of the mentally ill palinbots.
ReplyDeleteI think Bristol is being used by DWTS so they can cash in on Sarah's name. Maybe they hope she will show up there so they can cash in on her appearance as well. I have real problems with the whole Palin family but Bristol is being used by everybody. I hope she can find herself.
ReplyDeleteAnother blog mentioned that Sarah was there and that security was tightened because of some sort of threat.......and that the order went out that if security was breached, Sarah was priority over Bristol. Wish I could remember where I read it, but there were dozens of stories on-line today/tonight about all of this.
ReplyDeleteLoved Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing and she is more graceful than ever.
Bristol didn't do much fancy footwork, but not surprised with the limited preparation time. At least she gave it a shot and didn't quit like Mama. She's been getting a free ride because of who she is and I agree that it sends a bad signal to other young girls who thing single motherhood is the way to money and celebrity.
One can only hope she will develop some maturity and do something useful with her life for others. She has the name recognition now and it is time she showed she is made of better stuff than Sarah, and get out there and help others without demanding, or expecting, high $$$ in return.
The sitting part of the dance was very believable.
ReplyDeleteBristol was better than I expected her to be but I had very low expectations. First thing that hit me was the conservatively dressed strip down to red sexy dress. How many bots imagine Sarah stripped down or stripping down? How can they exploit their kids like this? Even using that girl to suggest mama's image. Just open a strip club and be done with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of the entire Palin trash with their parading stupidity, ignorance, low IQs and no morals. And the creeps and crazies they've unleashed on our country.
Personally I loved this! What entertainment!
ReplyDeleteBristol dressed like mom complete with flag pin, and slutty suit; strips it all off and shakes her money maker! I'm sure momma is so proud! None of them are smart enough to know when they are being made fun of, it seems.
I think we all should vote FOR her!
Make her earn her pay. The longer she is exposed on that show the more of a chance that she will let something important slip that will ruin momma's chances of ever getting within a block of that White House. The paparazzi will have tons of fun!
Works for me.
Oh dear, such a pretty girl -- with no dance in the feet. If you are brought up in a world where dancing is the devil's own, you just won't have the internal mechanism to dance -- at the spur of the moment. If Todd had turned her over to some of the distant cousins who could have taught her to move to the drums, she would have had the basics. She showed some choregraphed camp, I hope she develops it for real, and quickly!
ReplyDeleteI think it's ridiculous that people who are on here largely due to their extreme distaste for Sarah Palin are spending a single minute watching her family's fame mongering antics. I don't watch this show and I'm certainly not enough of a masochist to start now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting Gryphen so I could check first thing this am!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm surprised. She did really well for someone wiith no prior experience. She really did.So, good for her.
The bots may be upset with the choice of outfit . It did her no favors as she is out of shape for someone her age. The fact that Sarah didn't show up I think is a message to the bots: I have NOTHING to do with this harlot on the stage......and her narcissitic personality disorder can't tolerate Bristol in the spotlight anyway, so 2 birds, one stone.
Ricky Hollywood would be proud. That comment shold bite them in the ass.
Does anybody watch this show anymore? It's so lame. I was watching House, it was pretty hot.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, I flipped the channel after House was over and caught the scoring part of Bristol's routine. I thought it was really odd how she behaved. Maybe mental illness doesn't end with Sarah, maybe it's through the whole family, because I got a creepy feeling just from the few moments she stood there. Mark kept trying to put his arm around her waist and she kept pushing him away. She wasn't smiling, didn't seem happy to be there at all, and had absolutely nothing to say when they asked her a question. It was as if she didn't know she was on national television and instead was standing up in front of her 4th grade classroom or something. Very, uncomfortable. I went yeesh and turned the station again.
And btw I'm not into the is Bristol preggers thing, but gosh she is heavy around the mid section and just generally bloated overall. I guess it's possible.
I thought Florence Henderson had many more dance moves than BP and she was so much more entertaining as well. FH was having so much fun although I believe she knew she was in an up hill battle being the eldest contestant out there but she took the bull by the horns and gave it her all and she was entertaining! Granted she's and actress but she showed allot of heart. BP on the other hand did not project any personality nor did she come across as being enthused much less entertaining. Just a cardboard cutout in a red dress. I was disappointed in the fact that she even mentioned her mother in her interview time for this was her time and not her mothers... but by doing so, she shows that she enjoys being famous and having doors opened that otherwise would not have been all because of who her mother is and that is her claim to fame...She seems to have no qualms about riding her mother's coattails.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Renee... BP basically made a few moves while her dance partner danced around her... She appeared to be just going through the motions.
I feel very sorry for Bristol Palin. Once again being used as a prop and tool by her mother. in her bio, her dance partner said it all when he said, "Bristol was only in the public eye because of her mother" - sarah wants everyone in america to know the name - palin - and then there is all those old white men that sarah wants to watch her "born again virgin" kid get down and dirty - on the dance floor. I felt very sorry for Bristol last night, all kids deserve a good mother - not one who uses her daughther for political gain. As I watched last night I couldn't help but think, if it were not for sarah - Bristol and Levi might have had a chance for happniess! I feel every sorry for Bristol who is now "birthing" confidence the only way her mama taught her - on the TV while "dancing with the stars" .. Sarah Palin continues to takes the prize as the biggest loser!
ReplyDeleteWhat a vulgar and graceless display. SP should be ashamed that her daughter felt the need to 'perform' like a hefty hoofer hooker. Looks like Bristol has packed on at least 20lbs the last few weeks. How's that possible? Hopefully, she's voted off the show to save us from any more cringe worthy moments.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you are sometimes way too soft.
ReplyDeleteBristol was awful; wooden, no flow to her dancing, no real rhythm. She didn't feel the music.
She doesn't have to go on national TV to escape from Mommie Dearest, either.
It's ALL about the money, always. Bristol has learned to grift and is an extremely poor model for young women. How many young mothers would absolutely be thrilled with the amount of child support she receives? And many are doing far more with far less.
Let me get this straight. One of the reasons Bristle's "re-engagement" with Levi failed (re-engagement happened only because he retracted all his TRUE STATEMENTS about his potential Mother-in-law--soon as that statement was made and fed to all news outlets, Levi was toast.) But another reason given for their re-breakup is because he made a music video (with a beautify and sexy singer--hmmm Mark Ballas is sexy too!) that thinly portrayed B & L's situation with Sarah. Wasn't there something about the "mother" of the girl trying to use blackmail or paying him off? And now you have Bristle dancing to the tune of "Mama Told Me Not to Come"? No matter what, these two young people cannot tell a story without Sarah being the integral character. Just the way she likes it! Sad for the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteWorst. Stripper. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI did not see Sarah or Todd in that appropriately named "Twitpic" that accompanied the crowing and gloating tweet--this was a poor attempt at distracting from where she really was. She was nowhere near that living room. She cannot be that far away from the limelight. As far as lying goes--she is the CHAMP.
ReplyDelete(Guess it wasn't really a Twitpic if Sarah wasn't in it.)
OK, I am going to give Bristol props here...the girl learned something, her steps were good, and she did actually have rhythm. Mark did dance his ass of to make Bristol look better, and he seemed really happy with her performance...almost too happy as he could not keep his hands off Bristol after the performance. Look out Mark, those Palins are fertile. A little more grindage and if Bristol wasn't pregnant before, she will be soon!
ReplyDeleteI do agree with the Ginormica comment...ROFL. They should have paired her with a bigger guy. Overall Bristol's body looks better, but, her head looks humongous. Why are her cheeks and face so swollen?
BTW, TMZ got Bristol outside of rehearsal unloading her little money maker who was waving to the cameras. Wow, what happened to the Palins last night? Nobody there to support Bristol Hollywood? Can we please play the Oprah Ricky Hollywood comment over and over on a continuous loop????
When r we going to get the tweet from the quitter that how could Bristol have a chance when they have a professional from dirty dancing against her? I have to say Jennifer gray made me cry.
ReplyDeleteIm pretty sure their relationship failed because Bristol was NEVER 100% into him as evidenced by flirting with other guys even post pregnancy discovery. Mercede has said their relationship was rocky and a controlling one. They were young and dumb. Last May Bristol hated Levi and just post Tripps birth, i believe it was all her on the breakup. not her familys disapproval.
ReplyDeleteAt least we now have proof all these gossip sites provide no substance or absolute truth - about her work ethic or her familys attendance. I believe Sarah would never steal the spotlight from her daughters moment.
*shrugs* I used to dance. Bristol did all right. It was clear she was uncomfortable, and there were many "pose and shake" moments designed to fill time with easy stuff. She's no dancer, but she didn't screw up either.
ReplyDeleteI think her outfit was fine. No cleavage, no midriff. It looked like something Ann Miller would have worn. No big deal.
I guess we can call her Vicky Hollywood :-)
ReplyDeleteI do know that this weekend Sarah was at home with WIllow has her and her friends got ready for homecoming, pics included. I really wish people wouldn't speculate on politicians relationships with their families. None of what has been said has been proven true. But good moments and defense from her children for her have been seen. I'd say the kids are proud.
ReplyDeletemilquetoast. sorry.
ReplyDelete"I thought it was pathetic, however, that the routine centered around Sarah."
ReplyDeleteBristol was self defeating as far as being independent or getting away from her past. She didn't obey Mommie and her punishment will never end. How many people were waiting to see Sarah Palin in the audience? What was all that about? Doesn't DWTS have any other hooks to get viewers? That was uber pathetic. It was all about Sarah having an awkward daughter that likes the limelight but has no talent or individuality.
Bristol is saying FU to teens and teen mothers. The teen activist is a farce. It is the teen activity she could be dealing with. This was about her own fame and greed that is tied to her mother's freak celebrity.
"receptionist....not office manager." ROTFFLMAO!!! Don't forget Tripp caused her to miss the prom.
Her outfit was short, I don't have a problem with that if they had considered the shape of her legs. The length hit her thighs to accentuate the blub. Was someone trying to sabatoge her or is that her bad choice? By putting the round and red on top of the accentuated fat did nothing to help her. It is sad how they use her. She does not seem to have much self awareness. They seemed to be going for "hot" and "pop" at all cost, in a way that made no sense. Mark seems like a great teacher and he was spectacular at doing his best for her. There is not much he could do about their body types sending the wrong message. Who put them together and why? Maybe they felt like he was the only one who could tolerate the political situation and the pitiful used prop daughter. The tall basketball player and his partner totally overcame their physical differences.
It was disgusting that she used Tripp's father in her speil. The kid doesn't have a chance, this is how he is being raised. Without mercy Mama Grizzlies put bad Dad's in their place. That means degrading the role of father for the child and the world to witness. Far worse baby daddy's are treated with respect by mother's that detest them but keep it together for a child. Bristol is the sorriest role model example in so many ways.
She can now open up about her weight problems. Or if she is a serial knock up she needs to deal with that addiction. Her swelling appears to be in part due to what all she in on. Steroids or birth control? Who knows?
AND, she TIED for 7th with 79 year-old Chloris Leachman !!! WTF?????? HA!...
ReplyDeleteSay bye..bye...bimmy....
