This week on DWTS Bristol Palin brings the "sexy?"
Yes I know what all of your deviant little minds thought during the first part of this dance, but I am not going to say it.
I think her outfit did a better job of camouflaging her growing tummy while she was dancing, but when I saw her walk out with Ballas I thought she looked bigger.
To be fair her dancing IS improving, but her dance partner is still almost doing back flips to make the dance look entertaining.
Holy crap the Palin clan is in the house! Why didn't anybody Boo to warn us ahead of time?
Here is a bonus video of an interview with the two earlier in the week during rehearsal.
Check out how robotic Bristol's answers are concerning Tripp. She sounds very odd.

I don't watch the show - do the other couples spend as much time NOT dancing as Bristol does?
ReplyDeleteMark Ballas is a charismatic, energetic, professional dancer. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this impressive SOLO.
ReplyDeleteBristol is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Interesting again what she says about her body not changing, he, he. If she says "i'm thankful, awesome, or I am blessed one more time", I am going to scream!
ReplyDeleteWell. that was her swan song...the fix is in, and she will be voted off tonight because of the growing bump.That's why the whole family was there. Wonder if the camper was parked out back?
And by the way, WTF kind of outfit was that? Even Florence Henderson's was better. You have the most amazing costume designers in the business, and Bristol winds up with an oversize shirt with sparkles on it?We know Sarah and her bots read this blog and must have went crazy over the weekend with all the pictures and comments. I just feel sorry for Mark Ballas...he never had a chance getting saddled with the pregnant girl.
Really, not a good idea to ristol to be on the floor on her back with her legs apart (in the eginning).
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even break a sweat with that dance. That was barely even dancing.
How to the real Chrsitian concervatives handle the hummpin in that dance???
I watched it last night.
ReplyDeleteOk....another week, and she is even bigger. I know she's training harder because she really wants to do better and not make an ass of herself. So she should be losing weight, not gaining.
This girl could barely move. She barely moved! And when Mark held part of her up, her leg and stuff, I thought they were both going to fall over. I'm not saying this to be mean, I'm just saying something is wrong. It's not just fat, because fat people twist, wiggle, jiggle, move, bend, have a great time. She did not move, and Mark made great effort NOT to move her much, just like last week, as if he was being careful something would break.
Again, nothing here to make me think she's not pregnant. Each week only makes me think she is.
The judges slammed her this time, because they are getting tired of it. They want to see some dancing, not walking, and they said just that - next week you dance or else.
It also made me go whaaa? When I heard Bristol complain that she's a single 19 year old mom and can't dance sexy. Excuse me, but that's exactly why you SHOULD be able to boogie down! Put Mercede up there. Put any normal 18 - 24 year old up there and watch the difference. She's a young girl, not 80 years old.
Lets see if I can translate this weeks judges comments and I am not playing around.
ReplyDeleteWTF are you still doing here?
It has been four weeks and still no improvement.
You really do not belong here. After the first week you were over your head.
Your partner Mark is dancing his ass off to stay on the show, what are you doing?
As usual, no Bristle apologist, but she does fine. Doesn't embarrass herself and even though it looks like she's counting the steps in her head, it's fine. Is it a dance that moves me? No. Of course not. But she does okay in my book. (It almost kills me to say all that, I hope you know.)
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of sickening, the scene with Bristol on the DWTS stage laying on her back with the overhead shot. That's the view Levi, Ben and the rest of the boys in Wasilla seen close up and personal and yes Todd it was on your bed.
ReplyDeleteOh right, she's just a typical "working" mom. So how's that custody arrangement working out for you Levi? I really really really wish this family would just go AWAY!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be the most modest dressed dancer. Yup right!
ReplyDeleteKinda look like a beach whale floppin on her back ready to be mounted if you ask me.
i try to be objective buy i think she barely moves and doesn't put much effort into it,although this week was a little better than last. no wonder she isn't losing.
ReplyDeleteWell, they did her to work on being more expressive, to act more. Guess that must have come easier when the number was focused on sex because she's had a lot of experience with that, right?
ReplyDeleteNice to see Todd actually rooting for one of his daughters in public.
You're right, the costume did distract from the belly more and actually made her look a bit more classy, but really is the outfit combined with the dance the kind of thing an advocate for premarital abstinence should wear? I think not. Those moves incite sex, not deter it.
Dad must be very proud of Bristol. She spent almost 30 seconds on her back with her leg in the air before she decided to do a pole dance on Mark. It almost made it worth while to sit through it just to see Sarah's facial expression when the judges trashed her daughter's ummm trailer park pole dance.
ReplyDeleteWatching the interview, the pair was asked about dancing in socks. Ballas says, "well, I have bad knees..."
ReplyDeleteWTF? Googled for more info, and I can't find him using that excuse anywhere on the web. I'm sure its more likely that Palin is dying in shoes right now, and Ballas is covering by going shoeless as well. (Not like she needs shoes to lay on the floor for the dance, or to rock her hips back and forth -- no real 'dancing' going on)
As Mark says, "Mysterious?"
ReplyDeleteOk, I watched it. Um - that's dancing? Isn't it just clothed 'nasty' which by all accounts she's quite proficient at? Gah.
ReplyDeleteT
She barely moved her feet during the dance and just stood flat footed on the dance floor for several seconds! Her arms moved but she barely burned 10 calories with that lackluster performance.
ReplyDeleteGinger Rogers got nuthin to worry about. Musta burned 150 calories doing that supported walk-shimmy.
ReplyDeleteBristol doesn't look pregnant in this video. Even her movements are not those of a pregnant woman and her movements have improved.
ReplyDeleteBeyond that, it's not my deviant little mind that went off the rails. From beginning to end the dance suggested sex because that's what they were selling. Oh-so-presidential.
Grasshopper has learned well. When she speaks of Tripp, she repeats the tag lines...he is a joy, I've always worked full-time, etc. It seemed like he had been to the studio once or twice given the way she talked.
ReplyDeleteDespite her abstinence claims, the video was proof positive that Bristol does, indeed, dance better on her back! Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteYou must have been feeling mellow when you wrote this post, Gryph, 'cause there was really no "dancing" done on the part of Bristol. The judges complimented her in Week One on her little prancing step, so she & Mark just re-use that over and over.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, watch it again. The girl spends most of the dance doing the prancing step, waiting for Mark, or holding her arm straight up over her head.
I get that she was supposed be just getting out of bed and wearing a man's shirt, but it really wasn't that attractive. The designers are trying very hard to hide her tummy. I'm on the fence as to whether or not she's pregnant, since in some photos she's got a huge tummy and in others, almost none, but she's hiding her belly, all right.
Also, too. The Abstinence Princess probably shocked her all-white-senior-citizen-paid-$80-to-hear-her-speak-on-abstinence- audience with all the simulated sex.
Levi isn't responsible for the current bun in the over, but he will be blamed because it's somehow more palatable for the Palin public to have Bristol pre-maritally humping her former 2x fiance and father of her child than some random dude. Never mind that she's been telling everyone that teens should just say "no," to sex.
ReplyDeleteI predict a tearful tabloid cover where Bristol confesses her pregnancy and somehow blames Levi for the whole thing. Then another tearful tabloid cover with Britol clutching Tripp, a concerned look on her face, worrying about her future. Then another tabloid cover with a smiling Bristol and Levi, "We're going to try to make it work for our children." Finally, a tearful cover with a picture of a tearful Bristol, sad because Levi somehow messed up again and the engagement is off.
Followed by a series of pregnancy covers and baby covers ad nauseum. In other words...CHA CHING!
Heckuva job with the whole "teen advocacy" thing, Bristie.
What a pole dance. And the whole family was there, hmmm. Something for Piper to learn. She can use this as a great lesson on how to dance and attract boys.
ReplyDeleteMy grandkids would never be allowed to watch the show because of the costumes and movements. They are Christian, real Christians.
Count count count, raise arm and fingers up to God. . .count, count, count, touch Mark's face in an effort to look sexy and alluring. Count, count, count, raise arms up toward the sky, pointing finger up to God. Count, count, count, take Mark's shirt off to distract viewer's attention to my pregnant mid-section.
ReplyDeleteYou have GOT to hand it to Ballas, he adores Bristol and is doing everything in his little man body power to hold her up and get some sort of vibe between them. It's a huge effort. Count, count, count, please don't drop Ginormica!
That Partridge actress has long hair and still manages to put some life into it. Bristol's is probably too heavy to do much if she isn't letting a stylist lighten the weight and add texture. It is gorgeous Native hair, I'll give her and Willow that. Her legs do look nice - but that outfit and the routine was cringe-worthy.
Todd looked as happy as Billy Ray Cyrus cheering his slack-jawed idiot pre-teen girl on in Daisy-Dukes working the pole. At least Miley's got talent.
I do have to say this about what I've seen of Bristol on DWTS, she looks happy for the first time since she hit the airwaves. Usually her appearances reminded me of the POWs in Vietnam being forced to make statements against their will.
ReplyDeleteOn DWTS her smile seems real.
After the dance they go into the other room to be interviewed and get their scores. At the end someone off camera hands Mark a sofa cushion and he tosses it back. WTF was up with that???!!! It's not on this video BTW.
ReplyDeletehttp://celebrity-gossip.net/bristol-palin/bristol-palin-post-dwts-party-girl-423346
ReplyDeletePiper to Ma & Pa--watching BP laying on her back-is Bristol using protection??/Ma Palin shoosh Piper he's only fake doing her..like Dude does to me..
post dance--Bristol seems to say the word "sucks" a whole bunch-must be very common at home as in Sarah Palin Sucks
Loved the questions starting at 1:55, "body changes" and " are you craving anything?"
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha!
Painful. That's all, it's just painful to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe fundies must be losing it to see their idol's daughter with her rill morals and family values simulating sex on national television. Blech.
She looks HUGE and lumbering when he tries to "lift" her at the end.
ReplyDeleteMan I bet he wishes he could talk.
*shrugs* Again, she didn't embarrass herself. She didn't do anything difficult, spent a good deal posing and swaying, but she didn't mess up.
ReplyDeleteIt's not awful; it's just not very good. It's very forgettable.
snark alert: Definitely see how the Ab only campaign chose Bristol as their spokesperson. You're right Bristol, it isn't "realistic" after all is it? Shhh, don't tell anyone, but with your revirginized state and all, lying on the floor with legs spread and ripping a guy's shirt off, doesn't lead to the results you espouse. just saying.
ReplyDeleteI seen more sexy at a strip bar and I tell you Bristol the pistol would not have gotten my dollar. She can't dance and she waddled about the floor. If she is knocked up it is not because she can dance sexy.
ReplyDeletehttp://extratv.warnerbros.com/2010/10/bristol_palin_on_dwts_being_a_working_teen_mom_is_exhausting.php
ReplyDeletebahahahaha I love this interview
to anon 5:05, Maks covered Mark's abs with a cushion as a joke. Last night was the night of jokes it seems, what with the approp/inapp cards, Florky etc
ReplyDeleteThat dance seemed just a tad suggestive for a good Evangelical gal whose mother is single-handedly trying to bring on the Rapture. You'd think they might try to coordinate their efforts a bit...
ReplyDeleteAbout giving up stuff, I'm married, work full time, both of us are college educated with advanced degrees. I have an 18 month old son. I don't get to go to clubs at night, even if it is to support a friend. I wouldn't want to. I'm too tired (because I work, you see), and my son needs me at night. I don't have a nanny, or the money for one.
ReplyDeleteShe is a spoiled little brat.
I wonder how he'll handle doing the tango with her - with lifts almost mandatory.
ReplyDeleteShe keeps saying the same thing over & over & over, including my favorite(not) "I've never danced before" whine whine "I'm out of my comfort zone." Whine whine. Guess what Bristol, most of the other contestants have never danced before either and are out of their comfort zones as well. You don't hear them whining about it & using it as an excuse do you? No - they buckle down and work hard and it shows.
Even in the rehearsal videos she isn't doing anything but stand there - no actual work on learning is shown.
And classy? Oh yes. When asked about the scores, what do we hear? "It blows" and "It sucks." And then Mark has to repeat "She hasn't danced before." OMG!
From the other low scorers? "We're going to work even harder and hopefully be much better."
They're the only contestants I've heard use such derogatory remarks against the scores. Others may be thinking it, but usually have enough class not to say it. Mark has definitely been palinized & it's sad to see.
HE has talked - "Bristol and this dance have nothing in common." Mark's giving up. Good for him. Also thought it was very interesting (and you should pay attention to THIS part 10cats - which is why I encourage my dance lesson taking children to watch it):
ReplyDelete"This is sensual" explains Mark, "This is raunchy." See, Bristol never learned the difference.
And that's what this show is about - Brandi's lesson to Max was essentially about the same thing - it's not formulaic.
Is Trip's middle name, Trip hesablessing palin johnston?
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree that the choreography was trashy for someone purporting to be the "modest" candidate. Ridiculous. The entire reason that they had her start on the floor like that was so they could have the shot of her seemingly flat abdomen. It's interesting she can still look like that when lying flat on her back, but make no mistake they exploited that fact to the Palin's advantage. She doesn't look pregnant at the beginning. I am quite certain they had her in the strongest possible foundation garment to keep her tummy in. Once she stands up, however, you see that outline under the white shirt; the high belly - just look carefully and the silhouette is of a pregnant woman, perhaps 4 months, maybe more I don't know. Once you have one child you show earlier, at least that is typical.
ReplyDeleteThey used sheer genius to distract the public's eye with that costume, yet again. It basically has the same empire waist (high), the flowing fabric coming down (with two panels which flap and move around as she moves), and this time a black belt that cuts across at the perfect position to try and fool the observer. All intentional, trying to buy her one more week and put these pregnancy rumors to rest.
And the psychology of this is unmistakable. They know the first shot will stick in people minds - Bristol with a flat tummy. In addition, they are banking on the fact that people will assume a pregnant young woman wouldn't dare dance on TV for millions of people in a leotard. But she did it, so that's "proof" she isn't pregnant. They are so damn sneaky. And in this case, the producers of this show are in on the scam with the Palins because there is $$$ to be made. Disgusting. For shame. None of them have consciences, though.
Again, I DON'T CARE IF BRISTOL PALIN IS PREGNANT, BUT I DO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LYING TO ME AND I DO CARE ABOUT THE HYPOCRISY OF THIS GRIFTER FAMILY.
another week and another total dance pass given to bristol palin .... the girl is getting a pass because of her ever growing baby bump - did you notice how Mark is very, very careful NOT TO TOUCH her belly!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the infocus interview? You know the one where she slams Tina Fey and where Bristol states, that people are going to talk about her anyway so she might as well have her own message instead of rumors and gossip about her!
If Bristol Palin and her Mother would stop PUTTING HER IN THE PRESS then no would have anything to said about the FRAUD this girl is! And, "telling girls, don't be me!" but, not telling them to use birth control is an Irresponsibile MESSAGE BRISTOL!
Sorry to burst the bubbles, but Mark is a professional entertainer - he's paid to make "celebs" look and feel good about themselves. No celeb would go on the show if they thought their partners would trash talk.
ReplyDeleteJust like Tom Jones backintheday made every 50 y o women think he was singing just to them - but then they go home, kick back, and have a beer. It's work, nothing more.
What's interesting is that now the judges have warned Mark that his antics to draw attention away from Bristol's lack of ability and effort are a "distraction" in other words, he's been given license and "orders" that he needs to stop trying to carry the act. Bet if he pulls a stunt like the shirt off again, we'll see 3's. ANd you're right, lifts are going to be a hoot.
In all the pics we've ever seen of her, Bristol just has that mannish gait to her. She's not naturally petite, she's almost as tall as her father, while she's been slim before, she's never been terribly skinny. The supermodel/pageant queen-Sarah gene definitely bypassed her and was only received by Willow, who also inherited a certain amount of mannish qualities. Bristol's still attractive and not fat in the least.
ReplyDeleteIt took cojones to do that routine, and with her extended fam there as well, sheer guts. Iwish I could find the pic of her in Juneau chillin with friends, dancing around innocently. She's a hoot.
I feel bad for Mark Ballas. He will lose because he got stuck with her. Of course Sarah will pay him for his time. Yeah right. I never watch the show but switched back and forth last night, caught her act. What a joke the whole family is.
ReplyDeleteYou know, according to Carrie anne last night on Kimmel, lifts are actually not allowed except in the Argentine Tango. The interview is funny. Apparently Len and Bruno don't follow the rules about lifts but Carrie anne does.
ReplyDeletePS Even the sequins and glitter along her torso are intended to fool the eye.
ReplyDeleteDidn't The Church Lady have a more charismatic opening number? Bristol the Pistol needs to dance off with The Church Lady. SNL needs to bring "her" back!
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch it. I'll come back and watch it after she is sent home. Deserving dancers who didn't get pregnant at 17 are missing a chance to dance. Deserving dancers are getting sent home. DWTS is not real.
I agree, her language is coarse. I always tell my daughter to leave that verbiage at the door when she's at home with our family.
ReplyDeletemother is single-handedly trying to bring on the Rapture
ReplyDelete----
I'm pretty sure this hasnt been proven, nor do we know she still attends that church. Being protected by the demons as in that church video is pretty harmless and it's quite judgmental for anyone to mock. I have no doubt Sarah was contacted by highup REpubs early on as Gov and she's still in cahoots to help bring back a sensible form of govt. I listened to Christine O on Greta. She's actually quite intelligent on policy matters and has real goals and plans, as well as real ambition from an early age. What were you doing at 16?
I wish people wouldnt allow a candidate's perceived personal life affect his/her ability to be an effective policy maker. The President is nothing without Congress, he/she's a figurehead.
We all know Hillary's gonna make a break for it after these 4 years. I'm sure she wishes she'd said no as her boss doesn't even listen to her on important issues.
I'm waiting for 2016 when hillary finally reaps what she's been sewing. I just hope she leaves the communism and crazy behind.
I actually think she did a great job and she looks beautiful. Not sure about the weight thing and the lies but I doubt palin will be prez so I'm not worried.
ReplyDelete"I'm out of my comfort zone."
ReplyDeleteSo, how many times are we going to hear that? From her, from her mom in her speeches. They've certainly learned their talking points.
And, Bristle - honey - by the time it's your fourth episode, you should stop saying you're "out of your comfort zone."
Bristol has absolutely NO stage presence whatsoever. I feel sorry for her in a way, she is so miserable being there and it shows during rehearsals and while she's on stage. There's a negative aura about her attitude and personality. I couldn't believe it when Brook asked her what she was thinking during part of the dance, all I could imagine was an empty bubble floating above her head. Her mother is a tyrant, Bristol obviously seeks her mothers attention and approval.......I don't wish conditional love on any child, even Bristol.
ReplyDeletehow the hell is she getting 7's. she is terrible.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 6:35
ReplyDeleteHillary has been sewing??? Goodness gracious, I figured she was all busy keeping an eye on Bill and doing that whole Secretary of State thingy. I didn't know she had time for needlework on top of that!! Did she make Chelsea's wedding gown and what not?
That whole routine was designed so Bristol didn't have to do much. The girl can't dance, and choreographers give bad dancers lots of time laying on floors, sitting on the steps, to eat up the minutes of the routine so the audience doesn't see how bad they are. She extremely few steps and what she did do were exceptionally simple. She should not be remaining on the show.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure how planned DWTS is. Last season Mark and Shannon were sent home first (complete shocker and sad). Mark's won twice, with a gymnast and figure skater. Even the pros say this year is fair and much more even, with the one frontrunner, who always wins.
ReplyDeleteWTN: White Trash Nation. That's our family's shorthand way of summing up displays of bad behavior like Bristol's sleazy dance and the Palin Pack's support of it
ReplyDeleteWhat an appropriate attire and dance for an Abstinence Only advocate! NOT!!! Palin is a hypocrite just like her mother...$$$$$ is the only thing that interests her.
ReplyDeleteShe's sending all the wrong messages to young girls...but its obvious she doesn't care! She can't dance her way out of a paperbag!
This is sensual" explains Mark, "This is raunchy." See, Bristol never learned the difference.
ReplyDelete---
You cant jump to THAT conclusion. That was a good lesson for learning this dance. Her and Mark are friends, and now FB friends (officially, not fan page). I feel for her. It's hard to adjust to dancing when you have no natural inclinations. It took me years and several physical acting classes to overcome my inability to move fluidly.
It looks to me like maybe her boobs are padded (making her waist look smaller by comparison).
ReplyDeleteMost of the dance Mark looked like he was trying to guide a blow-up doll around the dance floor and the rest of the time he looked he was going to collapse under her weight.
ReplyDeleteIf Bristol doesn't stop putting on the tonnage Mark will have a hernia.
here's a video with the scoring (haha, pun). i don't see how they can remain on the show with such low scores, but maybe the palinbots will work overtime.
ReplyDeletethis was the most boring dance routine i have ever seen on the show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6vR6dQY0pY
Third pic (B/W): She definitely shows a belly (trying to hide it with her fists pushed into her jacket. How come she seems to be getting pudgier by the day - even sporting a double chin now? Shouldn't she be LOOSING weight, and be toning up???
ReplyDeletehttp://celebrity-gossip.net/bristol-palin/bristol-palin-post-dwts-party-girl-423346
Also, too: The socks-excuse stinks to heaven - IMO, he kind of hinted that his feet are getting sore from her stepping on his toes all the time - with socks, it hurts less than with shoes!
7:04, you are retarded. In EVERY sense of that word
ReplyDeletePerhaps Mark misunderstood - the dance was supposed to be sexy, not the sex act. We were worried for Mark's back when Bristol was nearly horizontal with that big thigh locked around his knee. We also think Mark did less dancing around her this week as it had become too obvious. When is she going to quit? This week or next? What a shame the other contestants are putting in effort to learn and then we have this hot mess.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things. One, I commented on another thread that I have never watched a full episode of DWTS. Still haven't. It just didn't seem that interesting to me, and watching the clips posted here just reinforced that fact. However, I was on youtube last night trying to find a video of their performance, and came across video of Mark Ballas and Shawn Johnson. COMPLETE night and day. The choreography done by the two pairs couldn't vary any more. Again, we'll give a little leeway since Bristol's "never danced" and Shawn was that season's winner, but as someone else mentioned, it's the same steps over and over! It's the effort put forward. I went and watched some more videos of Mark and partners doing the rumba, and this was by far the most pathetic. His frustration is even evident in the rehearsal scenes with Bristol, saying "take a break." They have to put so much video of Tripp in because there's not much quality rehearsing going on!
ReplyDeleteIn this video, Bristol talks (again!) about how she's out of her comfort zone with this dance. Every one of the contestants said this in the rumba videos I watched- especially Shawn Johnson, who was 17 at the time- and, I'm guessing, much more innocent than Bristol. Shawn, however, is used to performing, and has the attitude, ok, let's do this. She puts on her big girl panties and gets over it. Every one else does, too- you see Kim K getting help getting into character from the Pussycat Dolls creator, Sabrina (from the CheetahGirls) getting help from Mark's mom, and Mark planning a "prom" for Shawn, as she was missing her own (and as he said in the post-dance comments, it helped put the dance into an age-appropriate expression). Bristol? Oh, I just have to get into character. WTF? Unless Bristol and Mark did a little preparing for the dance on the side, in a not-appropriate-for-tv-way... (Joke, of course).
More random comments:
1. Love the straight sixes!
2. Pillow- joking with Mark to cover up, or joking with Mark about something else (since they supposedly can't make public comments about Bristol)?
3. Boos- see, when they boo the comments or scores, they do it as they're said/given, not afterward. The questioned boos when Mama Palin was there the first time WERE for Mama Palin.
Sorry, but she's not putting forth the effort. I'm sure ratings has something to do with who stays and who goes, but you can tell from the judges' scores (and comments) they're frustrated she's still there. Haven't watched any of the other dances this season, but watching Mark with other partners makes it obvious that he's going easy on Bristol- not that he just goes easy on his partners in general.

Bristol? Oh, I just have to get into character. WTF? Unless Bristol and Mark did a little preparing for the dance on the side, in a not-appropriate-for-tv-way... (Joke, of course).
Part II-
ReplyDeleteSome random thoughts:
The pillow- joking with Mark to cover up, or joking with Mark about something else (since they supposedly can't make public comments about Bristol)?
The Boos- see, when they boo the comments or scores, they do it as they're said/given, not afterward. The questioned boos when Mama Palin was there the first time WERE for Mama Palin.
Sorry, but she's not putting forth the effort. I'm sure ratings has something to do with who stays and who goes, but you can tell from the judges' scores (and comments) they're frustrated she's still there. Haven't watched any of the other dances this season, but watching Mark with other partners makes it obvious that he's going easy on Bristol- not that he just goes easy on his partners in general.
Well, it's nice to see her return to the position that has brought her the most money.
ReplyDeleteDisagree with you @ 6:22 a.m. The reason she started on the floor was to kill more time without her having to dance (because she can't)and to allow Mark to solo. Fortunately, the judges are on to this trick and have let it be known (stop the me, more we, Mark's taking off shirt was a distraction). If she makes it to next week, she'll have to actually dance.
ReplyDeleteBristol was engaged in July then called it off. She's probably 16-20 weeks pregnant now, around 5 months along.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see her belly grow each week while she tries to perform ever more challenging dances. Palinbots are cheating the DWTS voting system to keep her on the show. They're making it more likely Bristol will expose her secret on live TV.
The older performers on the show look and dance far better than 19-year-old Bristol. She should be the most energetic, limber girl on the floor, but no... she's definitely pregnant.
Bristol's vacant expression and aloof attitude are not helping either.
'Bot alert @ 6:35 am
ReplyDeleteBristol made a point that she was doing DWTS to show her work ethics. EPIC FAIL! She didn't work hard enough to show she put in much effort. She lost Tripp and has not one but two nannies to take care of the both of them. She is not a typical single mom taking care of a child and she is not doing it all and caring for her son. Poor kid. I can still see him being ignored in that high chair with sugar cakes all a mess on his face.
ReplyDeleteMC3031.. As happy as I am to know Bristol can count that is not showing us she has a work ethic. Can you see the difference in say Margaret Cho who did work her buns off? Bristol's job this week was to go beyond counting steps in her head and show emotion. She didn't work hard on her acting. She is a total failure and it is not acceptable that she can just count and get a pass at this point. She is alleged to be competing. Maybe she could sweat a little in rehearsal or show some pain like a novice would have. My gosh! Jennifer Grey is older and has screws in her neck, she also has the work ethic gene. Bristol doen't have to dance as well, she needs to show the work ethics and her acting progress.
ReplyDeleteShe makes Mark look so sad. He was desperate and I don't blame him for stripping for the sensation of an otherwise lifeless performance, but how sad. In spite of his talent he looks so awful with her. Having her lay down was subtle but a cheap trick that didn't make her "sexy." She looks like a tub of come use me.
If you watch it without the sound it is much more telling. Bristol's movements are shaky, very contained, and not free. Mark is lithe and graceful, using his well trained body to carry Bristol and distract from her pitiful excuse for movement.
ReplyDeleteDancing comes from inside, it cannot be shoved onto one. If you don't feel it, you can't move it. Even babies, untrained in anything, "dance" better than Bristol does.
"After the dance they go into the other room to be interviewed and get their scores. At the end someone off camera hands Mark a sofa cushion and he tosses it back. WTF was up with that???!!! It's not on this video BTW."
ReplyDeleteThat was the most real and best part. They had to cut it out, it is not a reality show. The fix is already in. Thank the Lord for editing.
"It's not awful; it's just not very good. It's very forgettable."
The awful part is that she is not putting in the effort she claimed she wanted to prove. She is not there to only count dance steps. The point was she was to get out of her comfort zone and show the struggle of learning new moves and performance. Her lack of work ethics will be long remembered.
@ Anon 5:05 am.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion was because the female announcer (after interviewing Palin/Ballas), told Ballas as they were cutting to commercial to 'cover up' right before they cut out. Or time to put a shirt on, something like that.
As for the judges, I'm glad they finally called Ballas on his technique of drawing attention away from Palin as she barely moves. She did do much better this time but still not that great.
I'm getting tired of their excuses of 'she's not a dancer, she's never done this before, etc. etc.' Get over it. Palin signed up to dance and make money.
She's been in the public eye for a couple of years, she's done speeches in front of strangers and gave interviews to magazines and television. Her 'poor me, I'm nervous' doesn't wash.
As for her single parent crap, of course, no mention of the nanny, or family. Blah.
Uh oh, a P-bot used the R-word in replying to 7:04. Alert Palin!!!
ReplyDelete@anon @ 7:14 a.m. - who's jumping? We all saw last nights "effort." Her scores show she doesn't get it - she either does raunch, as in the stand still hip shimmying and the floor writhing, or she's stiff as a board - nothing in between.
ReplyDelete@ 7:36 am Yep, DWTS seems to have learned, no mention or shots of Palin, except for the usual parents in the audience ones.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping/wondering if Joel Grey will show up for Jennifer - a) is he still alive and 2) are they on good terms?
Bristol's voice betrays her bland persona. There's mean there - mean, vicious jealous girl. Maybe she's just bitter - I would be having a mother like Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI would not want to spend an afternoon around Bristol, and not even five minutes around Sarah. This family is getting to be so irritating. They are never happy. They are never satisfied. They simply whine about everything - poor, poor us.
@ 7:52 a.m. - but Kyle is a delight (and Lacey) I know his footwaork isn't great, but he's trying and having a good time, not making excuses. And he and Lacey hav been able to keep far more real "innocence" in their dances, even with Lacey's racier costumes, probably because Kyle doesn't have the public baggage that would make something like that impossible for Bristol to carry off.
ReplyDeleteI believe there must be something in BS' contract that says she just has to show up for the taping of the 'rehearsals' and pretend that you are rehearsing. As far as work ethic, it's all relative and it appears to be that of the Palin standards.
ReplyDeleteTo the best of memory, I believe ALL the contestants, with the exception of BS, have mentioned how they are trying to improve specific areas that the judges have pointed out to them. Whereas BS comes across as 'just give me my f...ing check!'
Give me a break! First Levi and now Bristol are "porn stars". But if Bristol is as dead in bed as she is on the dance floor, I don't see how she gets anybody back for seconds.
ReplyDeleteBristol, was that dancing or fore play?? Laying on the floor gyrating and stripping Marc's shirt off was not the appropriate thing to do in front of you little sister or your parents!!! It looked slutty and you can't dance, maybe if you put a little effort into it, put we know your going to get paid effort or not...that's the Palin way!!
ReplyDeleteAnon troll @ 6:35
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out what it is exactly you are trying to say. You make no sense, using buzz words that make you sound conversant but you are out of your depth.
Sarah, Bristol, Willow or Piper?
Bristol-You are going to be 20 next week so ditch the I'm a 19 year old mother shit, you are no longer a teen!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is just no doubt about it anymore--she's dancing for two.
ReplyDeleteIf the empire waists/spandex/high belts weren't enough--the maternity leotard should have done it last night. Gah.
I don't watch the show, only these clips, but I'm just'a guessin' that not many other contestants lie on the floor for 1/6th of the dance. Especially in front of their parents and little sister. Gawd.
I'd love to get my hands on that "don't talk about Bristol" clause in those contracts they signed. Maybe somebody should sic The Smoking Gun on that little tidbit.
Well she was good enough to do table dancing at a bar in Alaska..How about Reflections in Fairbanks-she can say she's working her way through college...
ReplyDeleteOK, I've NEVER watched DWTS before, but I have seen commercials where the female in the couple was doing extremely complicated, physical steps. But with lil' Ms Palin, it appears as tho her partner is doing all the work and she's just standing in place, moving her feet. If this is an IMPROVEMENT from her previous appearances, well, damn!
ReplyDeleteIn the second video, I find it humorous that the interviewer asked her how her body was changing and if she had any "cravings". What do you s'pose was going thru BP's mind when THAT question came up?
Okay, so I admit that after I posted last week to drop the preggo thing, I was looking at the video last night out of curiosity. But I think she's playing us. If you slow the video of her dancing last night, you can plainly see a bump or large roll at 53 seconds when she lunges in front of him and you get a side view against the white shirt...
ReplyDeleteYET, she was photographed going to the Mint Club with Ballas (published on 10/11/10, but what date was it taken for sure?)and has what looks like an almost flat tummy -- great camo or flat tummy?
http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Bristol+Palin/Mark+Ballas+Bristol+Palin+Mint+Bar/jTRF82txCXK
That's a skin-tight top. I don't get it. It could be a way to discredit us or make us tune in?
Look closely debiinWI, those "bondage" tapes are a great optical illusion. THere is actually a shadow below the waistline. The only way to tell would be form a side view.
ReplyDeleteI admit that I'm actually starting to feel sorry for her. It's clear her heart isn't into it, she isn't practicing enough, and although I admire anyone with the guts to risk so much in public, I've seen trees with more moves than she has.
ReplyDeleteMark Ballas might as well wear a sign that says, "Look at me, not at Bristol!" At first, I honestly thought they were dancing in slow motion on purpose so she wouldn't forget the steps. At least the judges have dropped being nice for being somewhat honest.
The irony is that C4P acolytes are jamming ABC with as many votes as they can muster, making it likely that she won't be put out of her misery for awhile.
Of course, when I start feeling too bad for her, I just remember that she's being paid an awful lot for the privilege of being told what a crummy dancer she is in public. She's probably learning a useful lesson: being famous doesn't make you talented.
Here's the YouTube video of her going to the Mint on 10/11/10 and her coming out and driving away in a black truck. Check out the paps taking tons of photos!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBKhpTetPLM
Hey Deb in WI, I saw those pics, but since they were full frontal with diagnoal striping I think it was a case of visual camouflage. I would only be sure if we saw I side shot. I am going to scour other sites like x17 and just jared for some side view pictures.
ReplyDeleteNotice that Bristol was still wearing a sweater over that which could be used for cover at any time.
Sexy not! I don't know whether Bristo is pg or not, and don't care, but for someone who was in "athletics" as she supposedly was, she's not very graceful. Previous athletics have done well, some even winning, so I don't believe she's ever been very active. If she was supposed to be in bed, why the belt, high above the waist? Who wears a belt to bed, and did you notice she pulled the shirt together in front when Brooke was talking with her and Mark after the scores were given? She does act like she is trying to cover something. Last week she was so "girdled" under that white dress, she looked very unnatural. I'm older than most of you, I'm sure, and I've always been very interesting in clothing and notice such things. She may just be hiding a thick waist and big stomach, but there is a reason for suspicion.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what marks they got but one thing for sure is that she didn't do any dancing. So no, her dancing is not improving. The audience is being scammed into seeing dancing when all they are seeing is her partner making it look like a dance.
ReplyDeleteBut she's a Palin and her mother's fans are going to keep her going for a while longer. Shame on the judges if they gave her any more than 4's or 5's!
Joel Grey is alive, well and delightful as ever. I'm not sure of his current commitments but I see him at theatre events and every broadway opening. He's a great great man who would no doubt support Jennifer. I thought I saw him in the audience earlier
ReplyDeleteBristol was careful but very limited in her movement. The on the floor part was not a good idea. Mark does all the work. Her outfit was awful. All the other women were dressed so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that after Audrina danced her partner Tony made a point of saying that Audrina had also never danced before? Yet, audrina dances quite well.
Hmmm, Deb. Nobody was shooting below the waist video, though she really kept her hands in her pockets - on the way in, Mark prevented her from doing that.
ReplyDeleteI see Warden Ivy was with her on the way out - did you spot her on the way in tape? Wonder if Mark is helping Bristol to "escape?" ANd then Ivy tracks her down? And who's watching Tripp - oh, must be the "other" nanny.
I know that when I was preggers, my belt got higher and higher. When I'm thin, my belt is low--slung over my hips at a jaunty angle.
ReplyDeleteShe'd have to be bound up really well, then. There's a side view (although horrible camera job by the paps) of the same night in the YouTube video that I posted above -- nothing really shows there either, nor in her "welcome back to Wasilla" video I just saw on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteAugh, another video of that same night shows Ivy Fry again with them at the Mint-- does Bristol have any friends that could go places in LA with her? Is she a babysitter or Chaperon of Bristol? She's like that weird woman that tagged along with Katie all the time when she married Tom Cruise.
ReplyDeletePlus, the MINT is a 21+ nightclub, per their website.
... why did bristol just change her tag line to "teen advocate for life" .. What happened to "teen advocate for abstinence" did she find out it doesn't work --- AGAIN!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/293976/group/homepage/
Two comments:
ReplyDelete1) What happened to the fur that Bristol was going to wear? Wasn't she going to show how "Alaskan" she was by dressing conservatively and wearing lots of fur?
2) DWTS is NOT going to boot her off the show anytime soon. I predict she will stay in the top five. She is a cash cow. She draws viewers. Palinbots want to root for her. The rest of us watch to see the train wreck.
And I noticed with the first dance that Mark moved about twice as much as Bristol. Still happening with all of her performances.
Hey Deb, you could see some side view of the guy in that video, and the belly is still there, with a major muffin top.
ReplyDeleteGotta wonder how much the Palins are paying Ivy Frye to be Bristol's chaperone. I guess she has to make sure Bristol doesn't have any verbal slip ups.
It is sad that Bristol can't even enjoy a night out without old horseface tagging along.I would look for a LLC registered to Ivy Frye on the next SARAHPac disclosure. You could not pay me enough to be a Palin lackey.
Interesting that she is 19 and at ANOTHER bar!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N163ckcgAwI&feature=sub
ReplyDeleteDebm the Mint does different shows - some are 18+ some 21+ and some all age shows. Mark had a show last night and it was an all age show that ended @ 9:30 p.m. They probably stop serving alcohol fro the duration of the show or something.
ReplyDeletefrom People mag :
ReplyDelete"her and my dad" (from Bristol @ Sarah)
telling, not my mom and dad, but "her" and my dad(and bad grammar too.) Freudian fun!
Bristol, honey, do yourself a favor, get off the floor and back into a classroom.
Palinbots can stuff the ballot box at DWTS all they want; it won't matter. These contests are all decided behind the scenes, based on potential ratings. The audience/home vote means absolutely nothing !! All the numbers are totally rigged based on what oucome ABC wants.
ReplyDeleteSame with Survivor, and all these stupid shows.
Glad to see Bristol's extended family is in the audience as well. The 3 people behind Sarah, Todd, Piper and Ivy. as well as cousins who were sitting in the back by the main catwalk
ReplyDeleteIt's said there's a kernel of truth in every lie. Well this one took me too long to figure out so I'm posting it here. When Bristol complains about her sacrifices because she had premarital sex ... she isn't talking about Tripp! Ruffles, anyone?
ReplyDeleteIvy Frye is not on the 3rd quarter PAC disclosure. SHe is friends with all the Palins/Heaths and Bristol's media person sotospeak. She is not in LA all the time, as she was in Alaska up until Sunday.She's probably Bristol's manager.
ReplyDeleteYeah, one of the videos showed Ivey walking in with her, just tagging behind her and Mark a bit, but she was with them the whole time.
ReplyDeleteIf they make it to next week, theyre doing the jive
ReplyDeleteAlso, watch CArrie ann on Kimmel. She says lifts are not technically allowed, but Len and BRuno accept them for the tango
"Kinda look like a beach whale floppin on her back ready to be mounted if you ask me."
ReplyDeleteCome on now. You don't have to insult a beach(sp) whale. They can't help their condition and they are beautiful creatures. Unlike a Paylin.
Danciing should she not have lost some wt by now?
ReplyDeleteAnd is it just me, or is she really growing larger day by day???
She could knock me down with those thighs of hers, LOL
ReplyDeletewhy is her face so fat.
ReplyDeleteall she did was extend her arms and let mark dance around her, again.
she must have a contract for 'x' amount of shows.
LA watch out; these hillbillies are
going to like LA.
We feel your pain LA.
Dancing? She laid on the floor like she was going to masturbate.
ReplyDeleteOMFG!
Is the show always that sleazy or do the Palins just ooze sleaze and it gets on anyone nearby?
Did you notice her black belt on that outrageous costume? Did it seem to be a little too high up on her abdomen? Either there is a "bun in the oven" there OR she is starting to otherwise look like a sausage. At one point my computer was reloading and I could see a still frame where her abdomen was extended to about half the distance as her breasts. She's got to go home or poor Mark won't be able to labor her into any lifts what so ever; I felt sorry for him as he tried to get her around his knee for the lift at the end of the song!
ReplyDeleteWow, just watched it. Kinda stunned because there are many other types of dances that could have been done that would have been more appropriate for an "abstinence promotor." It's almost like it was intended to inflame and I don't know what's up with that. They are such phoney fake people.
ReplyDelete1:46 Anonymous ... sure Ivy keep telling yourself that you are a Palin/Heath friend, your turn to get thrown under the bus will come sooner or later. How could you have been in Alaska when you were pictured everywhere with Bristol-McDonalds, the airport, etc?
ReplyDeleteGet a life of your own
I put on armor and then went over to the Sea of Pee. Bristol's supporters are actually criticizing her partner for dancing around her. They're mad because he's "showing off" his own skills and not showcasing his lovely woman.
ReplyDeleteI could NOT believe how deluded they are. If Mark did not dance around Bristol, there would be VERY little action going on there on the dance floor (well, Bristol looks like she's ready to perform the sex act, but that's about it).
Bristol looks like a pregnant Cow dancing with a chihuahua. Why did they team her up with a guy half her size and height? Mark may be a good dancer but he's making a complete fool of himself with her. And taking his shirt off was the most UNsexy thing I've seen yet. He is a little guy with a mediocre body. And she is a very overweight stiff legged frump. Not a pretty sight.
ReplyDeleteBristol tweeted that she's getting the boot tonight. Said she wanted it to be Maks...
ReplyDeleteThe first dance and the one last night show us that Bristle the
ReplyDeleteSex Pistol is ready for prime time at the Great Alaska Bush Company. Not sexy, just Trampy.
And also too, the kid's full name is Trip Paycheck Paylin-Johnston.
If she is not a dancer that is fine, what she must do is show that she has a work ethic and is working hard at trying. She has failed in that regard. If she showed half of what others show that are truly putting themselves into the work, that would be an improvement. I don't care that her dancing does suck. It is her failure at trying to prove her work ethic that is a disaster. Plus she seemed to dump poor Tripp or she is not a lone single mother doing it on her own. The trip home to Mommy Dearest and Ballas visiting her and Tripp at apt are all staged. The single mother doing it all is a ruse. Let her be a chubby poor dancer but at least be an honest teen advocate, have work ethic and care for her son as she claims. Without the last 3 she is a total failure and she let SarahPac down (they just can't face the truth or admit it).
ReplyDeleteWho is DWTS trying to convince that
ReplyDeleteBristol is sexy? I'm still amazed that Levy was infatuated with her, unless it was the fact she was Palin's
daughter. Why wasn't she voted off this week - what are the judges waiting for?
Sharon TN
Bolton coming out of the dog house was a thousand times more lovely than Bristol on the floor in her "sexy" dance. Please tell me she won't get any lower... doing that in front of Piper and her parents. What were they thinking? What is Piper clapping and so happy about? What is that family teaching her? Be proud of the bad acting and looking slutty? I guess Piper knew where Levi kept his tooth brush and the half naked man with Bristol is normal. The family is so proud and happy of what they call Bristol's work at trying.
ReplyDeleteWHOA! Did anyone notice the belly in this pic with Scott Hennen???
ReplyDeletehttp://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/293976/group/homepage/
THAT is NOT a firm, toned belly - THAT is either a FAT belly, or a PREGNANT one!
anon@ 3:16
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Factually, we agree with the peezoo, or they with us - Mark is doing all the dancing - but then their warped and illogical brains try to twist it to him showing off
1) to what purpose - he's got a good gig and if he shows off at the expense of a partner, he loses DWTS gig.
2) Bristol can't/won't dance - so what is there for him to be a frame for? Her posing in tableau and doing pole dance moves?
3) They must project their mean and nasty onto others as a reflex, right?
3:16, so it's Mark Ballas' fault that Bristol is not dancing as well as the other contestants? Why am I not surprised that Palinbots always see Palin shortcomings as the fault of others? Palin and her fans are Made For Each Other.
ReplyDeleteTo facebook lurker,
ReplyDeletefor someone who claims to know a great deal by stalking facebook for Palin drama, you know nothing.
Ivy was just in Alaska. I dont know if it were just for the weekend but she was just there.
So you're saying that because she's friends with them, she has no life of her own? Thats a ridiculous statement.
btw, I think Bristol is going home. Tom has tweeted any cryptic hints today and he always does
I feel sorry for Mark. Bristol seems to get worse each week not better. I think it's obvious her "work ethic" is severely lacking. No one that is actually doing the work could keep getting worse.
ReplyDeleteWow, the video of her going into and out of the Mint sure tells a story. Watch her walking away. She is starting to waddle.
ReplyDeleteone of the things I appreciate about your blog gryphen is that you get some bright commenters here. this post is an example. good laffs, too.
ReplyDeleteI give credit to bristol for one thing - she has not fallen on her face. while she hasn't done any dancing either, not falling on your face doing ballroom dancing is good. but then again, NONE of the contestants this season have fallen on their faces, so it's relative.
mark ballas is a great dancer. imagine if you were a professional dancer and they stuck you with bristol? I guess this season he's 'paying some dues' and something more worthwhile will come along to him in the future. he'll get a payback. still, he's working hard - they should give him a bonus.
lmao at the "work ethic." really? THAT'S a good work ethic? please.
I agree Anon, I found it odd she would say she's 19, when she's turning 20, and as you said, in one week. Most young people want to be as close to 21 as possible, can't wait for that magical number, and especially to get out of their teens. She keeps saying she's 19.
ReplyDeleteWell, as I posted before, it was a horrible dance, and the judges were right to rip her one. But, it does look like she's relaxing just enough to have some fun. And good for her. I'm glad she's having some fun with the show, even though we all know it's a set up, and it's all really for mama sarah. But good for Bristol to get something out of it.
Hmmm re all the "modesty crapola" from Britol. Anyone take a good look at Lacey Schwimmer's dress. Actually it's very modest - more so than BRistol's nightshirt, unless you're a Taliban who doesn't like bar arms. I mean, that's a flesh colored top, not her skin. Lacey's dress and her rumba were romantic, but innocent, unlike Bristol's raunchiness.
ReplyDeleteMark, take notes = Lacey, sensual but innocent - Bristol = pure raunch.
What was Bristol doing on the floor on DWTS? Was she imitating a walrus, seal or beached whale? Or a teen activist in heat?
ReplyDeleteOdd, my ass! She does even know who the kid is let alone give a flying f...other then how much money he will bring her. anyone that confuses BP with a "caring mother" wacko! Or a Paylin.
ReplyDeleteGuess who did not inherit those tight abs from Mommy Dearest?
ReplyDeleteJust curious because I've never been pregnant. Could wearing Spanx and other control garments harm the baby?
ReplyDeleteIf you click very slowly thru the video, you can see the bulge of her stomach (from whatever cause) at 25, 32, 35, 37 and 52. May be more, but that's all I could take. I think her belt was stitched to the shirt, which was probably anchored to the leotard, because the belt never shifted and the neither did the shirt, except for the flaps. It was a very clever design, which along with the camera angles and the shirtless Mark did a masterful job of obscuring the bump.
ReplyDeleteThe Situation got voted off tonight. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteTake note that Todd did not show up to cheer Bristol on at DWTS she does the sexy dance. Kind of perverted if you ask me.
No, spanx and other foundation type clothing (like pantyhose) won't hurt the baby, but they can be really uncomfortable after a while (not at first).
ReplyDeleteAs the baby grows, the baby not only moves out, but up. The baby will actually push on the lungs (or ribcage or whatever), making it more and more difficult to breath. Of course, you've heard about pregnant women needing to go to the bathroom all the time, that is because the baby and the fluid associated with the baby pushes on the bladder. Toward the end, there really isn't anything comfortable about being preganant.
That is why you see really, really pregnant women wearing non-constrictive clothing and not really caring what they look like.
I am really beginning to wonder if they haven't gone totally wacko and joined in with the cult of Tom, Katie, Greta, and John Travolta....
ReplyDeleteI mean, we have them pulling the camera thing on people photographing them. Bristol has a babysitter, much like Katie Holmes. And, they have been paling around A LOT with Greta and her husband.
If we catch them with Tom or John Travolta, then its a done deal!!
I will miss the Situation. Love the abs and he has work ethics.
ReplyDeleteIf Bristol and Sarah can tease, why not Levi? He is just trying to earn a living like the Palins.
o/t Levi Johnston will stop by “The View” on Monday. He can talk about his upcoming reality series “Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office,” which will document his run for the top job in Wasilla, Alaska. He can also talk about old flame Bristol Palin — the mother of his son — and her run on “Dancing With the Stars.” And he can talk about Sarah Palin, Bristol’s mom, and whatever she’s running for.
Levi Johnston 'very comfortable' with controversial video
After Johnston was aboard, Winter began working on the video's concept.
This was around the time of Bristol Palin and Johnston's reconciliation and re-engagement in July. He says he was in pre-production when the engagement was broken off last month.
Palin, who has been competing on "Dancing With the Stars," admitted in an interview with Us Weekly that her mother didn't approve of the relationship.
Winter acknowledges that he was aware that the Palin family drama was transpiring as he crafted the video.
"I knew that Levi was going to be in the video when I was coming up with the idea, and what ended up happening, was I thought about them briefly but I kind of went off on my own little tangent, I think," said Winter, who grew up in Zambia but moved to Burlington, Ont., when he was 11 years old.
"We wanted to talk about something universal and the idea we came up with that felt most like it would speak to a lot of people was the idea of a mother and a daughter, that parent-child relationship, and the idea of the parent disapproving of what it is the child is doing.
"Again, that sort of applies to what happened with Bristol and her mom and Levi but the intention wasn't necessarily to mirror that situation. ... It almost sounds like life imitating art a little bit."
Winter says that Johnston was a "pleasure" to work with.
The 20-year-old former Playgirl cover model spent nearly 18 hours filming the video but never complained, Winter said. He also took part in some steamy scenes with Senser, a 26-year-old Minneapolis pop singer who was once a contestant on MTV's "Making the Band."
"We have a bedroom scene in the video actually where Brittani and Levi need to get a little bit close and cuddly and they have absolutely fantastic chemistry," he said.
"The connection between the two actors — I almost feel like I couldn't quite capture it as much as I wanted to with the lens of the camera. It was really amazing."
Winter says he didn't realize that Bristol Palin mentioned the video as one reason for the breakup. When informed, he responded: "Oh, wow. I don't really know what to say about that."
So is he concerned about a backlash from the Palin camp?
