Well she said she was going to wear fur! Bristol Palin's performance tonight proves Darwin was wrong.
Tonight was the worst she's done yet. Though I must admit, the costume hid her figure well. Try as I might, in that costume, I couldn't see a prego belly. Having said that...her practice attire...another story altogether!
A number of self-conscious, stuttering mistakes. Her shape has improved, she remembers to raise her hand to God, the shaking of the ta-ta's are getting OLD. Like Sarah says, how does she do that, do-do-do-do. . .
I don't know about the no belly. I think it was a good dress as it filled out quite a bit. At the end when they were all on stage, and Mark's hand was on her waist- she's still quite wide. It's under there- just spanked up tight.
The costume designers really have their work cut out for them but they are rising to the job. At first glance, in that dress, Bristol does not look pregnant. Upon 2nd look, you can see the muffin top pushed further up and when he dipped her you can definitely see the curve of the belly. To me though the key to it all (aside from the rather obvious clothing choices during practice) is her face - it is getting rounder and rounder.
I don't buy that she's scared. She seems stiff and cold in interviews and her body language is always rigid. She never seems to have the natural, fluid flow of a young body; never seems to be at ease with others or herself.
It makes me wonder if she holds herself the way she does because she is has a fragile and brittle inner life. She always seems angry - holding herself in to avoid showing how pissed-off and bitter she feels. Just saying, her performance in any public form makes me wonder what's wrong.
Wow - Bristol and Mark only got an 18, the lowest score of all the couples.
From thecelebritycafe.com comes this assessment:
"No shocker here, though. She may have been called out last week to up her performance, but she definitely took a giant leap backwards with tonight’s jive. Admittedly she did try to show her enthusiasm in the beginning of the routine by coming out dressed as a gorilla for The Monkees theme song, but it all went downhill once the costume came off."
My opinion? It was down at the bottom of the hill already when they came out in the costumes.
As pathetic as her "dancing" is,...they'll still keep her on the program until near the end. It guarantees them ratings,... and that is why she was asked to be on in the first place.
The jive costumes for the women on DWTS are often horrible. The irony was, this was the first time Bristol Palin looked cute (after the stupid monkey suits were discarded.) But, I then watched her feet and, sadly for her, the actual, you know, "steps" were missing.
In one of her interviews Bristol described the jive as being hard because it was fast and "hoppity." I've started ALMOST feeling sorry for her because I really think that Bristol is cognitively well below average.
I resist feeling sorry for her, however, because I have not forgotten her testimony in the Kernell trial, testimony which was "fictive" at best.
Given all the racist gorilla/Obama jokes and who her mother is, this costume choice was in very poor taste.
And who hates the jive? It's a fun dance and at Bristol's level VERY easy to do. She was painful to watch. What's with the tongue thing?
She and Mark seem to have made up. They were very touchy-huggy tonight, unlike last week when they seemed mad at each other.
As for the belly watch, I think that pink outfit was very carefully crafted by Hollywood's finest to make her look nonpreggers. At first, watching her, I fell for it. But in some angles you can still catch sight of the protrusion. I suspect this will be her last week on the show.
Meh. My speakers are messed up, so I can't hear the music, but her dancing seems to have improved some. She is actually moving now. Judging by her earlier robotic dancing, I was beginning to wonder if the boys had to do all the work when they were porking the Pisstol.
Definitely her worst dance. Missed steps, timing off. No animation. Bye-bye
This show really needs to start screening candidates for some basic musicality and movement. I want to see stars who have a fighting chance from day one. It's very painful to watch anyone do so poorly.
It's sad that Bristol's mom wasn't there to support her on her birthday.
Happy Birthday, Bristol! If hope you don't want to be voted off because it looks like you'll be around at least another week.
Mark isn't gay. He's touchy-feely with all his partners. He did date DWTS partner, Sabrina Bryan, but the girl had rhythm and could dance. I doubt he'd find anything about Bristol attractive. Anyway, he supposedly has a gorgeous and amazingly talented girlfriend, Jeanine Mason, So You Think You Can Dance winner.
A pregnant moron who cannot dance, dressed up as a gorilla, trying to imitate a circus bear....send in the clowns.......... the song by Stephen Sondheim:
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air. Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around, One who can't move. Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors, Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours, Making my entrance again with my usual flair, Sure of my lines, No one is there.
Don't you love farce? My fault I fear. I thought that you'd want what I want. Sorry, my dear. But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns. Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer, Losing my timing this late In my career? And where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns. Well, maybe next year.
Dang, I was hoping the clip would show the audience clapping after the dance. I rewound the DVR a couple of times, but I'm still not sure. They were all clapping politely except for one girl. I could have sworn it was Willow.
Anon @7:30 - Mark's hand is ALWAYS on her waist. I think he's trying to help cover it up.
Bristol joined DWTS to show her work ethics. I'm sorry, I just don't see it. Seems to be getting worse. It looks like she just learned the dance the day before!Do you think she is trying to look lousy on purpose to get off the show or is she really that lousy.
Looks like the judges are getting tired of Bristol and the only reason she is still on the show is because of the people who bought her mother's ghost written book are voting for her.
Would love to see how the call in votes tally for everybody.
She obviously hated dancing, she is rebelling against her mother, and she blew it on purpose. What a pitiful display of her upbringing in all it's sadness coming out in public. And now she will have to fall off the face of the earth to have the baby. What's that, #3 or #4?
"If you want to vote for her mom to be president in 2012, voting for Bristol in this Dancing with the Stars competition is very much helping Governor Palin’s chances of getting the Republican nomination in two years.
"The better Bristol does, the more chances the Palins have to be in front of Independent voters, where people coast to coast get to know the family through young Bristol and start to think about how great it would be to have her as a First Daughter. The same is true for Governor Palin’s TV show about Alaska that’s set to debut soon. All of this is building the Palin brand and establishing this family as our next First Family."
Here's pic of Mark with his girlfriend Jeanine Mason at the LA Kings game & another pic of Mark & Jeanine reheasing. So doesn't look like a Mark & Bristol match up.
You can also see a pic of Mark & Bristol participating in the Habitat for Humanity Walk this past weekend in LA. What a change to actually see Bristol 'smile'.
At the rate she's going that girl is going to be 250 pounds before she has the baby. It's either a lack of self discipline or a rebellion against her mother who never acted like a mother to any of the children. I'm putting my money on the latter. To keep her going on this sideshow is just cruel and unusual punishment now. For those who have to watch her that is. For her it's a cry for help.
She looked bigger to me tonight; I was comparing her figure to the other women - who seem to be getting more shapely.
Even Kyle Massey's shape is improving. He's cute, energetic, tons of personality and grace.
Bristol missed so many steps even I noticed.
She still wore a lot of clothes that suggested coverup.
Brandy has a rear end that projects out but she still looks slender when she's dancing - and did you hear that wonderful answer to the question - who is your biggest competition? My Fear and My Nerves. Great answer! Way to go, Brandy!
The judges were tough on Jennifer and Audrina tonight, too, so there's no way Bristol should use "suck comments" when she is asked anything tomorrow!
What a couple of days. Joe Miller bowls down an 8 year old to get away from press questions and his goons handcuff the reporter. He then goes national saying that his cheating use of fellow Fairbanks Borough employees' computers ain't so bad because he did it during his lunch break. Then Bristol performs on national t.v. in a monkey suit and tutu. We Alaskans are SOOO proud.
Remember when the Palinbots cheered when Chicago didn't get the Olympics? Crazy. Nuts. But the same thing is happening here: why the celebration when this 19-year-old performs poorly? I think the entire Palin family has not just a few loose screws—I think EVERY screw is loose; but the venom spewed here about this contestant, to the point of high-fiving every missed dance step—has become unseemly. That anyone one cares is beyond me.
Curiouser, I'm not sure whether I find that link more scary or hilarious! There are actually people out there who think MORE exposure to the Palins will make them look BETTER? Mwahahahaha!
Curiouser, I cannot believe how delusional the 'bots are, even at Hillbuzz. The First Family?? WTF would be great about Bristol being the first daughter? Her ability to get pregnant easily? Her inability to speak properly in front of a camera? Her intellectual vocabulary with words like "sucks", "awesome", "yeah", "uh-huh"....the Palin family are NOT fans of education and I'm sure $arah's kids read even less than she did, which I didn't think was possible. Have we ever had a potential candidate for President that was revered like this, someone with little to no accomplishments to their name?
I thought tonight's performance was actually her worst so far. Her footwork was off completely and the two of them were not in sync. Usually by this point in the competition, the timing of the couples is very consistent due to all their practicing. I don't think Bristol knows the meaning of working towards a goal or having a strong work ethic, the second being floated as the reason she wanted to do the show, to prove herself, GAG!
Len totally blew me away tonight - he absolutely gushed over Bristol. Bruno & Carrie Ann looked at him like he lost his mind - he had. And he was so tough on the others. Must have a "crush" - on Mama or daughter. Cutest costume - worse dance. Forgot her steps completely after shedding the costume.
full and high waisted skirts and monkey suits will not change the fact the bristol has the clear and unfair advantage - because we all know baby makes 3!
Bristol continues to "hide in plain sight" while she is preggers while dancing with the stars!
What do I think? I think that the monkey suit is the perfect metaphor for that family.
But aside from that, I thought Bristol as per usual barely moved. However, I'm not sure why the low scores because I thought she moved a bit more than the last dance, and the dress was bright and cheery. She actually had a visual waist for the first time ever. So either it's tightened in or she's not preggers. And really, who cares. Bristol, like her mother, is becoming less interesting with time.
And once again her parents are hogging the spotlight. Todd and Sarah just gave an interview and said Todd was asked to be on DWTS first, before Bristol. What c*nts these people are. Can you let your daughter have SOMETHING of her own?
I think BP is resigned to it anyway. I think her one attempt at escape was when she left with the kid, stayed in the townhouse briefly, and contemplated creating her own revenue stream/publicity machine with Levi. That crashed. So from here on out, it's mama's game.
This whole DWTS thing was designed as a Sarah Palin stunt, anyway, just to drum up publicity for her, just like the reality show...oops nature show. It's not really meant for Bristol, and that's why she had such a dogface early on in the competition, she knew it, and it was just something she was told to do like another one of her chores. Later on I think she had fun with it.
That was by far the worst performance yet. I have seen some pics posted last night after Dancing With The Stars, and let me tell you, the belly is still there, and it looks like it's getting rounder and higher.
That dress did an amazing job of hiding it, this one does not:
Ok, I guess I am the only one who thought the gorilla in a tutu was cute. I roared when she came out because after all, we've been watching the bump and wondering how they would dress her this week, and look! They really managed to cover it up. :-D
If this show makes anything clear, it's that this "work ethic" that she and her mother claim ad nauseum that Bristol has simply doesn't exist. Seriously. They have a week to get ready and this is what she comes up with?
And you know you have troubles when you need to bring in clown trainers to teach a nineteen year old how to enjoy herself. It makes you wonder what growing up in that Palin house really was like.
And yes, she's gotta be pregnant or she's one of those people who eat more when they are stressed. She just keeps getting fatter each week
She is absolutely stuffed into heavy duty foundation garments. I would think she is honestly uncomfortable, in her defense. The reason for the wide, wide skirt and the myriad layers of undulating fabric is simply to make her midriff look slim by comparison and distract the eye (and it works, here). These costume people don't fool around. They should win an Emmy for best concealment or something.
All of her costumes have been odd, by the usual standards. They could be presented as "modest", and yet they didn't all have to have empire waists, strong horizontal lines above and across her belly, and also be drenched in so much fabric, in order to achieve that same goal. Other designs could have provided the coverage she claims to have requested as a value choice. These have all been noticeably the same.
The footage of the rehearsals says it all. 3 different outfits, all w/tops designed to cover her up. The hoodie is typical for her, but the lines and flowing fabric of the other two overtops are highly suspicious.
How is everyone arriving at the notion that Bristol blew it on purpose, that she is pregnant, that she is rebelling? She's said from the start she doesn't like the jive, Her and Mark said that was the first time they tripped up wearing the costumes. If you watch the paparazzi vids of the stars leaving/arriving rehearsal, you'll find a much happier and comfortable Bristol. She's obviously someone who needs time to adjust to new circumstances.
and she wasn't the only one who was off and wasn't on their game. Jenny Grey made it clear that dance wasn't her forte. Its a little bullshit BRandy received a 27. Kurt was awesome and thats the only one that stands out. tv theme week=bad.
Willow, Lauden, two family friends and Heather were in the audience tonight. Willow was not visibly clapping after BRistol's dance but she has a tendency to clap low near her lap. Her and BRistol were fighting as of late. who knows, who cares
EVery contestant only gets a certain number of comps per show. Family members/friends are rotating each week. Sarah's still in California not far from LA. I have no doubt she is stopping by to see the group
Given all the racist gorilla/Obama jokes and who her mother is, this costume choice was in very poor taste.

Can you people not leave politics/hate at the door for 2 simple hours of televised entertainment? Mark is known for fun, weird dances. I was not shocked when Bristol said she'd be a gorilla last week
The jive is not easy. It's extremely fast and one has to be hugely animated to the point of insanity. I applaud Bristol for adding the gorilla suit. That could not have made the dance any easier. They did say in post show interviews that that was the first time they messed up. It happens
I don't buy that she's scared. She seems stiff and cold in interviews and her body language is always rigid. She never seems to have the natural, fluid flow of a young body; never seems to be at ease with others or herself.
---
You just described a shy person who needs time to adjust. She was fine and happy on Leno. and she has a fun, outgoing life in Alaska.
When is this nightmare going to end? She is NOT able to dance. Shake her b**bs, (lots of practice with that, I'm sure)and that's it! Time for Quittypants' spawn to go home.
A couple of things that I noticed... I'm sure that was Willow in the audience for Bristol. She was not clapping when everyone else was, and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there. Also, check Bristol out when Jennifer and Derek are getting their scores. She is sitting behind them, next to Florence. She has a very sour look on her face, has her legs crossed with her skirt so high that you really get an eyeful, and was the only one not clapping for Jennifer and Derek. Looks very much like she was pouting again.
Poor thing... the routine was just too hard for her. Truly, she can't dance at all. She missed so many steps and kept looking over at Mark for help! She's out of her depth but what would you expect?
" Willow was not visibly clapping after BRistol's dance but she has a tendency to clap low near her lap."
Only another Palin or an over the top Pee-bot would use an excuse like "tendency to clap low near her lap". Thanks for a good laugh, but what a pathetic attempt at defending Palins. Willow knew Bristol's dance was terrible. I hope Bristol makes it to another week just so I can read the foolish attempts to defend her.
here's the performance with the scoring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR1KIBqMXeY another devil's 6-6-6! things seemed to fall apart this performance more so than in previous weeks. i didn't see the higher level of performance/projection that the judges noted. i hate to tell them, but those were gorilla suits. hey hey we're the gorillas doesn't sound as catchy though. i just watched a couple of mya's old performances to cleanse my appreciation for dance. ahh, much better.
And you know you have troubles when you need to bring in clown trainers to teach a nineteen year old how to enjoy herself.

This statement is implying all 19 yr olds are outgoing and camera friendly naturally. It's called being reserved. There's plenty of pictoral evidence that Bristol knows how to have fun and laugh.
I think BP is resigned to it anyway. I think her one attempt at escape was when she left with the kid, stayed in the townhouse briefly, and contemplated creating her own revenue stream/publicity machine with Levi. That crashed. So from here on out, it's mama's game.

Bristol has hated Levi since Tripp was born. Fact. She wants nothing to do with him. She is making money to give her son a life. Fact. (all known thru the social network)
LOVED watching Mark Ballas bouncing up and down while Bristol Palin is untangling herself from the gorilla suit. He is really trying, but Bristol is too big a fail to cover for her.
I presume you have also written to Ms. Palin, who insists, after having had a child, has chosen to be an abstinence advocate and speaker. That is really a great responsibility, presuming Ms. Palin thinks she may be influencing young woman in what may well be one of their most life changing decisions. In that letter, I assume you take Ms. Palin to task because of her hypocrisy (no, not because she became pregnant, but because she is hiding her real feelings. Remember: "Abstinence isn't realistic.) She's also delivering a contradictory message based on the reality versus her words. Words: Single motherhood is hard, exhausting. Performance: Single motherhood gets you out of a boring 9-5 and into a world of private dancing lessons, couture photo shoots, and night clubbing.
As a potential future grandparent, I do indeed feel she deserves every bit of venom and loathing against her. If her actions and words cause even one young girl to head down the road of single motherhood, then Ms Palin has a lot to answer for. Of course, in her protected pseudo-stardom, she'll be blissfully ignorant of the tragedy she's caused.
It appears that all the full-time dance lessons in the world are not going to make Bristol a dancer. She has lead feet and can't do much of a kick. For someone as young as her that is unusual. The judges had a hard time saying anything nice about her this week. In the past they have given her too many nice remarks. She isn't improving at all.
anon @ 2:55 a.m. - yep. Agree. I have to wonder how Sarah convinced her back into the compound. I wonder if she used Tripp as exploitation fodder? Something along the lines of some sort of I can make the courts think you and Levi are unfit parents?
Ivy (her mom's friend, not Bristol's being there in LA acting as warden), Bristol eating herself into blimpitude because she feels so trapped and depressed.
That story line would almost make one feel sorry for her, but until she shows a flicker of gumption or personality("abstinence isn't realistic") we don't know and should continue to treat her as just another dose of Palinpoison.
Sheesh, give it up. This gal is not pregnant. How many weeks have we been watching, and what do you think babies do over that many weeks? They grow. To me her appearance shows previous pregnancy, MORE than ONE, that did a number on her ab muscles, and she's never made an effort to re-tone them. Mel
Wow it seems that Bristol and her mommy are posting today. She is terrible on the show and should have followed Michael Bolton out the door. In fact why is she there?
"It appears that all the full-time dance lessons in the world are not going to make Bristol a dancer. She has lead feet and can't do much of a kick. For someone as young as her that is unusual. The judges had a hard time saying anything nice about her this week. In the past they have given her too many nice remarks. She isn't improving at all."
as hard as this is to type, I find this statement unfair. I am 28 but even 10 yrs ago, I had no natural rhthym nd couldnt dance to save my life. Bristol's a brutish gal, never had a girlike figure, but more mannish/stick. You cannot help that. Rick's height is a liability for his progress the same way BRistol's body is hers. Neither are vastly improving. Im proud of Bristol though. Bruno was right, it takes guts to leave Alaska and dance for millions. I would never do that and I grew up in theatre.
Poster @ 4:04 a.m. Little hard to do when the entire reason BP is on the show is politics.
@ 4:06 a.m. First time they messed up, really? Uh no. Judges told them last week the shirt off was a distraction. SO they put on gorilla suits this week?
And point of insanity? absolutely not. Go back and watch the Jennifer Grey jive. Balance and controlling fast movement, yes. ENERGY and animation- yes. Bristol is just a lazy lardbutt. Since the beginning of the show, it looks like she's put on at least 20 pounds, about 40 since May. Dragging that extra weight around really saps you.
to @4:12 - seems a bit strange then for that personality type to choose DWTS and public speaking as a career, don't you think? Seems a person with that temperment would have stayed a dental receptionist until she matured enough to handle the big, bad world.
I can see a fish suit, a bear suit, a moose suit or caribo suit - but a monkey suit was an overt hit at an entire human race in this country - and don't think it was not noticed ABC!
This american citizen is going to start a FULL ON BOYCOTT of ABC for advancing the notion that teenage babies get you on dancing with the stars and that overt slap in face by the daugther of the biggest sore loser was OVER THE STOP!
Hear that ABC - This American Citizen will not rest until I reduce your ad revenue!
BRISTOL WAS EMPHATIC that she was doing DWTS to show and prove her work ethic. It doesn't matter that she has zero rhythm or talent. She is an EPIC FAILURE for not showing that she can work or has ethics.
Bristol not supporting her fellow dancers & being happy for them when they do well isn't surprising. My take on her is that she's very intellectually limited besides being unable to empathize with others' pain. If anyone in her immediate sphere succeeds, she feels threatened. The only one in that whole Palin bunch I feel sorry for is Tripp. (Bristol DWTS week after week, I ask you! Those judges need replacing!)
@6:04 - You need to look up the meaning of the word "fact" at Dictionary.com. You're welcome.
In general, I've noticed a Palin family inability to use the pronoun "she." Bristol can't use it: "Her and ..." (Additionally, Bristol has issues with the basic use of articles such as "the," as in "She [Palin] represents...United States" in the famous WGE Homer video--unless that was Willow.)
And $P herself can't use the pronouns "he" and "she" correctly.
So any time I see comments on IM phrased like that ("Her and Tripp, e.g."), I wonder: Is it a Palin? Or a Palin friend using the same ignorant vernacular? Because most of us learned how to use "he" and "she" in grade school. And don't call me elite for caring and noticing. I am a member of a native tribe and I grew up in a red state.
it seems to me this year is the first one where there hasn't been a shocking elimination early on. It's been whittled down by talent alone it seems.We shall see tonight
"Bristol has hated Levi since Tripp was born. Fact. She wants nothing to do with him. She is making money to give her son a life. Fact. (all known thru the social network)"
Riddle me this, all-knowing one. Isn't it a wee bit odd that someone who "has hated" Levi would agree to marry him and then pose with him on the cover of a national magazine?
The only "fact" here is that Bristol doesn't know which way is up. And I didn't even need some social network to help me out on that one.
Martha, Thanks for the big smile, loved the appropriate Sondheim tune. To see the visual of a leadfoot, lardbutt gorilla was unbearable. Knowing it was a young person that has accepted public humiliation for a politician is beyond words. This type of public abuse will make the peebots swim with joy, they love self-flagellation of all types. They are so proud of Bristol for making a fool of herself on teh teevee.
Bristol is jealous of Levi. She is competing with Brittani and Levi. She clearly did not hate him, love/hate and obsessed is more like it. She is bound and tied to Levi for life through Tripp. May be why she stuffed Tripp with sugar and cake and made the little guy look abandoned in her glamor pose when she was riding high as in that SarahPac set up as if she was on her own in Anchorage.
Watch Bristol's video with the big rose covered glass phallic symbol. She couldn't even pull that off, her lack of talent could not be hidden by the videographers in a music video and they can do magic with photography and effects. A gal with work ethics would have spent a little time in acting class and perhaps doing theater before allowing herself to be filmed as a bore and emotionally flat in a music video.
The pictures of Bristol leaving rehearsal show a very unhappy looking thirty year-old. Hard to believe she is just twenty. "Rode hard and put away wet" was my take on her. As to the "pregnancy?" Could be; maybe not. She's either eating herself into a blimp or she's dancing for two. Definitely something wrong that she's gaining weight while supposedly working out on a difficult dance routine. She is very ungainly for a young woman who was reportedly in sports. When I was a phys ed major, we had to take ballroom dancing as part of the curriculum. I used to dance with football players; many of them were lighter on their feet than Bristol.
I thought the gorilla suits and pink dress were cute enough. At least she was trying to entertain. But forgetting her routine disproved that she is trying to dance as well as she can. So much for that work ethic.
The remaining dancers are better; she should leave now.
What a work ethic! As an excuse for not having put in time or effort to learn anything, Bristol exclaimed "I hate the Jive". She looks beyond ready to quit, er, be voted off.
Sharon TN "Bristol not supporting her fellow dancers & being happy for them when they do well isn't surprising."
I have noticed Bristol is void of decent human traits, like caring for others. Don't forget Lanesia Garcia and how she is with the Johnstons, how she misinformed people at the Tennessee trial, she doesn't even know what her own brother is up to and she treats the Morlock situation weird. But it seems all of Alaska has zero interest in our soldiers and the Afghan torture, maiming and deaths.
The dancing show was about team spirit and good sportsmanship at one time. Now it is about catering to a politicians brat and lies for ratings. What a sad bill of goods ABC is trying to sell people. This could have been a good family program but they have no values. Bristol has brought everyone involved down to the Sarah Palin level of poor sport and no class.
ABC is our local station affiliate and I stopped watching years ago because they suck. The best idea I've heard in a long time is the BOYCOTT. The advertisers will never know how people think and feel if more won't speak out.
Could it be that Bristol purposely missed a few steps in order to put an end to it? Could it be that her only confidant is her sister Willow and she has confided in Willow that she needs to end it? Could it be that any of the professionals on the show who are associated with Bristol are hating what it's doing to their professional reputations? Could it be that Len Goodman has complained that he has pushed the envelope for Bristol so far now that he's worried about his own credibility? Could it be that the sponsors are pushing hard to keep Bristol on while the shows executive are worried about their own credibility being destroyed?
How in the world did she "mess up some of the steps"? He literally pushed her through the whole dance. She had very few steps to take. Mostly, she stood and shifted her weight. After all those weeks of "work ethic" practice, she should be able to do better than this.
Um, Anon at 6:04 ("Bristol has hated Levi since Tripp was born. Fact. She wants nothing to do with him. She is making money to give her son a life. Fact."), if you do indeed know what you're talking about, then you have just proved the supposition that the second B&L engagement announced last spring was just a trashy cash grab.
The girl is dumpy, sulky, vindictive, and dumb. And since she's constantly selling her story to the tabloids and dancing on the teevee, she is encouraging us to talk about her. We looove our freeeeedom to do so. Suck it up, princess.
OK. Three observations - besides what I had said earlier - after seeing the full youtube video: A) Bristol is getting FATTER, not FITTER. (Nice links - especially the first one with her in the black dress, FBL!) B) Whats up with her tongue swirling??? C) Willow was there - she showed up briefly (NOT clapping!) when they showed the audience clapping.
I haven't watched DWTS. Actually my only exposure to DWTS is this blog. I'm not even sure my sole exposure is good or bad. Frankly this vid is the only one I've watched, so my sole exposure could be considered a bit "trumped".
I'm not even sure how many weeks this contest has been going on. I could careless, except to comment today.
My gawd, get that girl off. Does she need to do this to boost self confidence? Cause there are other ways, one could ulitiz, to raise the bar, on how one feels about one self.
No wonder my nieces and thier friends roll thier eyes when it comes to Bristol. Look these young adults are christen rightwing people, raised in the Mat Su valley. They actually think Bristol thru her own careless actions and nasty persona left the school district back in the 9th grade. When she did finally show her face, she knew she blew it long ago.
From reading the comments, i understand this shaking of the boobs isn't the first time she has done this. Ug. Cause that's about all she did on que in this performance. Shaking the ta tas.
From reading the comments, she dry humped last week. Am I to believe this is her talent, shaking boobs and dry humping to music?
My younger relatives and thier friends out in the valley say "yes" to that last sentence/question.
"She has lead feet and can't do much of a kick. For someone as young as her that is unusual."
She's just not trying. She thought she'd be there 2 weeks, collect the $125K for some light work and vamanos back to the compound. She's gaining weight, not toning up, so she's certainly not dancing 6-8 hours a day like Jennifer Grey. Ballas practically dragged her around the dancefloor last night. It's obvious she doesn't give a shit, she's throwing the game and deliberately trying to get kicked off. I think they'll give her one more week just to f@ck with her, then really let her have it the next week. Her work ethic is certainly on display - it's a poor one. She's lazy. Kelly Osborne had no dance ability either and look what she accomplished because she tried.
Genius! Of course Bristol and Levi sold an engagement story for the money. Anyone would in their shoes. Supply/demand. If Gryphen was correct in saying Sarah was pissed at the announcement, you know Tank was all about that USweekly spread.
I'm confused as to how you've arrived at this statement when she has only publicly addressed Jeremy on facebook, where she has said "I'm praying for you" and "I love you".
Family situations involving war are private matters. Bristol is a third party. Let's leave the Morlocks alone. Jeremy should be released soon anyway
See these pictures from last night if you still don't think she's pregnant. http://x17online.com/celebrities/bristol_palin/bristol_palin_celebrates_her_20th_birthday_after_bombing_on_dancing_with_the_stars-10192010.php
Nothing more than a mannequin or a puppet. She shows absolutely no intellectual curiosity - is she stoned, or stupid?
Uh, some sort of "mother nature figure" in which case, she should have shown some concern or emotion towards the frozen rose.
Uh, we're "halibut fishing, I think." Well for a native Alaskan, shouldn't that be like, immediate knowledge, considering that's one of the things your mom lists on her resume and that she's been claiming is part and parcel of who she and the family is/are? And it's not like this isn't news. Even down in the lower 48, we know that the halibut industry still hasn't recovered from the Exxon Valdez. Even charters are limited to ONE halibut per day, IIRC.
Interesting. I went over to the peezoo (yes, I washed my hands and brain afterward. (Stock tip: as long as Plain stays around, invest in Chlorox) 0 comments on the Bristol dancing article - hmmmmmmm.
I think she messed up repeatedly on purpose - get the boot so we don't have to see her pregnancy continue to develop. Maybe the costumers suggested the idea to her. Maybe they've done all they can.
I am happy that Bristol doesn't sugarcoat herself and her words. It's perfectly natural not to like every single dance. Jenny Grey obviously hated the quickstep and she also didnt mince words. Bravo Bristol for your honesty. It brought humor to the night. Candidness in hollywood is always good. Too many of these stars are too packaged and rehearsed in speech. And I'm sorry, but Brandy was WAAAAAY too overscored. 3 9s for that dance? Cmon. At least the public agrees with that.
Seems like Bristol has no mind of her own. Normally, her mom tells her what to do -- like living in the condo that Mommy bought. She's so used to dully following directions that she just goes along with whatever Mark tells her to do ("He got clown lessons for me") without putting any effort into it on her own.
If any of my adult kids had heard from judges that they needed to do some more connecting with an audience, they would have been the ones demanding answers from their coach: "What can I do to learn how???" They would not wait for the coach to tell them and then go along with it with no panache.
Then again, my kids would have actually been practicing all week, so they wouldn't have been embarrassed in front of the judges and the nation.
Anonymous @ 10:48 has hit the nail on the head. She's actually not a terrible dancer compared to some they've had on. She was approximating a bunch of that on purpose in order to set up her being the next dancer kicked off. They can't hide that pregnancy any longer, it's too much effort.
I also saw a picture of her from last night sitting down in that dress, leaning to the side next to her cousin. The belly is high and round, and does not roll like fat would.
Something is going on there...not normal for her to be getting bigger. I for one hope she stays on.
Bristol out (again). Granted, for her birthday, but come on. I thought she gave up a lot to be a mom.
My child is 19 months and I still haven't had a chance to go out like she does. I wouldn't want to, anyway. I actually love my child and enjoy being with him. That's called being a parent--and a grown up.
Sorry anon, but if you go to the gallery and scroll through all the Bristol pictures, you will see it! I don't know why the posting cut the URL off...I'll start making tiny URLS from now on!
The Mint has some all age shows where evidently they don't serve alcohol and the under 21 crowd has to pay $5 extra.
Many of the other dancers aren't there for her birthday, but rather to see Ballas perform. Chelsea in the video seems a bit befuddled by the birthday thing.
How can she spends weeks training with a professional dancer and actually perform WORSE? She is not putting in 6 hours practice a day.
And she looks like she is getting heavier as the weeks past. Her face and arms are getting rounder, and I bet that pink dress was layered over an industrial strength girdle.
The "pregnant" theory is too crazy for me, so I'm going with "walking half-heartedly for an hour through her practice sessions, and spending the remainder of the day eating ice cream on the couch while the nanny takes care of Tripp" explanation.
Why the gloom? I think she tried and failed to break away from mommy dearest with Levi.
Her's is a sad, puppet-like existence and she is self-medicating with food.
Remember, the nanny is at least part time Warden Ivy. She's in all the birthday photos, too. $carah better be sure she never, ever pisses off Ms. Frye.
The gorilla suit was another typical Palin misdirection ploy.
Mark my words- when she is ultimately disqualified tonight- it won't be "Bristol" that America rejected, rather her misfortunate choice of the gorilla costume.
America didn't reject Bristo Palin- Nooo Waaayy- she just messed up by wearing an ape suit to a formal dance.
She's done- tonight- and the wardrobe malfunction will be her convenient exit strategy.
Who are the anon teens on here with all their "facts" about how great Bristol is?
First of all, she's not 19 so stop saying that. She turned 20, and any normal person would be glad to say they're 20 even well before their actual date. With Bristol, it seems like they're making excuses for like she's retarded or something. She's not retarded, she's a smart girl. Not educated, but fairly street smart, I'm sure.
I always hear, She's only 19. She's not a dancer. She doesn't like the Jive. She's not fat, she's a normal weight. She's a Christian she doesn't want to dress scantily.
Here's my answer to that:
She's 20. Neither is Margaret Cho. She didn't sign up for SYTYCD, she signed up for DWTS. She's fat. (or preggers). She has no problem dressing like an LA girl around town.
Sorry to sound like I'm dissing Bristol, but I don't like hypocrisy and I don't like people making petty excuses. If you put Mercede up there no one would be making excuses for her and the bar would be 3X as high.
Those pictures are VERY telling. Her face is BLOATING. The spanx is holding it all in, but badly. She looks like she did during the campaign when she was "5 months" along.
It is way too late for Len Goodman or anyone to worry about their reputations after what has played out in front of millions of viewers.
Their credibility has been destroyed.
This is as scandalous, if not more, than back in the old time Payola days. A politician and a PAC set this up for Bristol with the ad men or producers. Len and all the dancers are ruined as far as any decent person is concerned. Why didn't they worry about reputations when they could have stood up to the criminals that put in the fix? Why is the public allowing them to get by with this? The judges, host and pro dancers are all as rotten as the crooked industry that does this trash. No one should survive this with a reputation of any quality, they are all in on the fix one way or another. They signed their souls away for a brief moment to try and recapture some glory and more money. Fame may pay well but it is cheap.
I am in total shock after looking at the photos of her birthday with the paid help and a relation. They all look miserable, what is with that for a birthday celebration?
#22 is a trip. I would have never quessed that is Bristol Palin. She must be pigging on cake and McDonald's at every moment she can. How can she bloat so fast? Some of her pictures remind me of Liz Taylor after she ate all that fried chicken. She just ate and got grotesque but didn't care for the longest time. Finally she saw a photo of herself that grossed her out.
No one cares about Bristol, she has no friends left or they would address what most people see and her so called friends and followers are in denial about. I am sure some see the tragedy that is unfolding but they don't dare leave the script they must stay with. Obey.
Dear God, In the past three days you have taken my favorite TV Mom Barbara Billingsley and favorite TV dad Tom Bosley. Please make it a trifecta and take my favorite teen mom/DTWS dancer Bristol Palin
So I started to feel a little sorry for Bristol. If she really doesn't want to stay on the show and her mom's rabid fans keep voting for her, that kinda sucks. And her parents' oft-repeated refrain that DWTS really wanted Todd is really unfair.
On the other hand, she is getting more $$ per week to show up to a few rehearsals, do a couple interviews, and let Mark drag her ass around the dance floor than I will take home in all of 2010. So I'm a little bitter. And before any P-bots say anything about her "courage," let me add that I'd go on DWTS in a HEARTBEAT and LOVE the chance to work my butt off doing something that fun. Alas, I have no claims to fame--no parents who sold out my adolescence for fame, no teenage pregnancy, no current "baby bump watch." Just a master's degree, self respect, and a work ethic.
I'd also like to say that I'm over hearing Griftsle whine about what she has given up. Given the amount she's been photographed going out in LA, she's not giving up a hell of a lot of social life to be home with her kid. I never, ever, ever thought I'd say this, but as teen moms go, I have a lot more respect for Jamie Lynn Spears. She's a teen mom who actually had to give up a lot to keep her child.
Anon. 8:16, Barbara Billingsley and Tom Bosley lived a full life and die at an old age, are you asking God to cut Bristol's life short? How could you go so low by wishing death to a young adult. I am not a Sarah and Bristol fan, but I will never pray or wish harm to anyone.
Anon 7:28 Bristol weight gain can mean there things: 1) She is pregnant 2) She is depress and eating to full in that empty void. Bristol is force to be anything but herself... Sarah pushed into being a spoke person for teen and speaking those things she don't believe in. 3) She didn't want to be on DWTS, all she see is money... but money don't by happiness.
Bristol need to get away from her controlling mother and be herself
The pics in the black dress at the club were kinda a little shocking to me. I wouldn't even have recognized her as Bristol without her name. And how in the world can she bloat up so fast? She may not even be preggers, she may have some kind of problem.
I hate to say it, but the overdone eye and brow makeup, the spray tan, the short black and silver dress, the shoes, the hair pulled back, chomping on gum or candy...she not only looks 35, but tell me this pic is any different than any of the other Hollywood badboy or badgirl pics we see in the mags. And her expression - very comfortable, very happy, very different than on DWTS.
It screams one thing: Bristol is very comfortable being single and slumming it, and not so comfortable in formal settings with people who can get a good look at her. At those moments, she has to use her baby as a buffer, or constant references to mom and alaska, and her "passionate" issues. The real Bristol is likely what we see in the club pic. Which isn't a horrible thing, I mean in my 20's and even before that (we snuck into clubs before we hit 18 back in the day) my girlfriends and cousins and I all went slumming, and hit the strip. It's just that it's being a little two-faced, I think. Just be who you are. Don't pretend you're better than any other kid just because you're a Palin.
Now later on, she'll say to the press, oh LA is ok, but it's not like Alaska! LOL.
Tonight was the worst she's done yet. Though I must admit, the costume hid her figure well. Try as I might, in that costume, I couldn't see a prego belly. Having said that...her practice attire...another story altogether!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's a pregnant girl.
ReplyDeleteUGH.
ReplyDeleteHer dancing gets worse as time goes on.
Poor Mark. It looks like he takes about 3-4 steps to her 1. She moves slightly better than Kate Gosselin did last season, but not by a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteThat is what it reminded me of. Her partner last year had to dance his ass off to make it seem like she was doing something as well.
A number of self-conscious, stuttering mistakes. Her shape has improved, she remembers to raise her hand to God, the shaking of the ta-ta's are getting OLD. Like Sarah says, how does she do that, do-do-do-do. . .
ReplyDeleteOnly good thing about that routine was her shoes.
PAINFUL to watch. Jazz hands baby.
All those weeks of practice and she still can't dance, barely able to keep up.
ReplyDeleteCostume? What costume?
ReplyDeleteTeehee
I served with The Monkees
ReplyDeleteI knew The Monkees
The Monkees were friends of mine
Bristol, you're no Monkee
Oh lord. I think she's doing Mark. He is all up in her face and the kiss at the end? They are definitely doing the nasty.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have their scores? I forgot it was on. Why do I always do that?
WRong animal. She would be more credible dancing as the back end of a donkey, because that's what she showed herself as.
ReplyDeleteShe can't keep up with the beat, is totally out-of-sync with her partner.
ReplyDeleteHow can she pass scrutiny???
So sad. So stiff. So unable to feel and move with the music. She's still counting steps.
ReplyDeleteWhy does she always have to take clothes off? The big reveal is stale, stale, stale.
I think she's on her way home tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteVery racist. Typical $p.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the no belly. I think it was a good dress as it filled out quite a bit. At the end when they were all on stage, and Mark's hand was on her waist- she's still quite wide. It's under there- just spanked up tight.
ReplyDeleteThe costume designers really have their work cut out for them but they are rising to the job. At first glance, in that dress, Bristol does not look pregnant. Upon 2nd look, you can see the muffin top pushed further up and when he dipped her you can definitely see the curve of the belly. To me though the key to it all (aside from the rather obvious clothing choices during practice) is her face - it is getting rounder and rounder.
ReplyDeleteother than she can't dance and is pregnant?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the score for her performance?
ReplyDeleteI agree, tonight was bad - but did they let her stay on the show?
Egads - very low standards or a fix, if so.
Thank you Bristol for almost destroying my childhood crush on the Monkees.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteBristol moves like a old woman. Why?
ReplyDeleteI don't buy that she's scared. She seems stiff and cold in interviews and her body language is always rigid. She never seems to have the natural, fluid flow of a young body; never seems to be at ease with others or herself.
It makes me wonder if she holds herself the way she does because she is has a fragile and brittle inner life. She always seems angry - holding herself in to avoid showing how pissed-off and bitter she feels. Just saying, her performance in any public form makes me wonder what's wrong.
HOW EMBARRASSING. Seriously, a tutu wearing gorilla?
ReplyDeleteSeriously?
Let's see, clumsy, bad timing, her kicks were off, and again her partner is doing all the work. Borrrrrrrringgggg
ReplyDeleteBristol cannot dance. End of story.
ReplyDeleteWow - Bristol and Mark only got an 18, the lowest score of all the couples.
ReplyDeleteFrom thecelebritycafe.com comes this assessment:
"No shocker here, though. She may have been called out last week to up her performance, but she definitely took a giant leap backwards with tonight’s jive. Admittedly she did try to show her enthusiasm in the beginning of the routine by coming out dressed as a gorilla for The Monkees theme song, but it all went downhill once the costume came off."
My opinion? It was down at the bottom of the hill already when they came out in the costumes.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAs pathetic as her "dancing" is,...they'll still keep her on the program until near the end. It guarantees them ratings,... and that is why she was asked to be on in the first place.
ReplyDelete"I don't like the jive"
ReplyDeleteWell, since you didn't even manage to do the jive, how would you know?
The girl cannot dance. Lowest score of the night~hope she is voted off tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteScorpie
Why was gay Mark kissing her every other second? It's weird, is the act for him or for her?
ReplyDeleteThe jive costumes for the women on DWTS are often horrible. The irony was, this was the first time Bristol Palin looked cute (after the stupid monkey suits were discarded.) But, I then watched her feet and, sadly for her, the actual, you know, "steps" were missing.
ReplyDeleteIn one of her interviews Bristol described the jive as being hard because it was fast and "hoppity." I've started ALMOST feeling sorry for her because I really think that Bristol is cognitively well below average.
I resist feeling sorry for her, however, because I have not forgotten her testimony in the Kernell trial, testimony which was "fictive" at best.
Given all the racist gorilla/Obama jokes and who her mother is, this costume choice was in very poor taste.
ReplyDeleteAnd who hates the jive? It's a fun dance and at Bristol's level VERY easy to do. She was painful to watch. What's with the tongue thing?
She and Mark seem to have made up. They were very touchy-huggy tonight, unlike last week when they seemed mad at each other.
As for the belly watch, I think that pink outfit was very carefully crafted by Hollywood's finest to make her look nonpreggers. At first, watching her, I fell for it. But in some angles you can still catch sight of the protrusion. I suspect this will be her last week on the show.
Meh. My speakers are messed up, so I
ReplyDeletecan't hear the music, but her dancing
seems to have improved some. She is
actually moving now. Judging by her
earlier robotic dancing, I was beginning to
wonder if the boys had to do all the
work when they were porking the Pisstol.
Definitely her worst dance. Missed steps, timing off. No animation. Bye-bye
ReplyDeleteThis show really needs to start screening candidates for some basic musicality and movement. I want to see stars who have a fighting chance from day one. It's very painful to watch anyone do so poorly.
I'm not seeing her work ethic.
ReplyDeleteSweet lord she just keeps getting worse. I bet she only does a couple hours of practice a week - if that.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone hear what the judges comments were? I can't actually watch the show - it's too disturbing.
Please say she gets booted this week.
The Monkees were from my teeny bopper years. I was in love with Davey Jones. This almost made me ralph.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that Bristol's mom wasn't there to support her on her birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Bristol! If hope you don't want to be voted off because it looks like you'll be around at least another week.
Mark isn't gay. He's touchy-feely with all his partners. He did date DWTS partner, Sabrina Bryan, but the girl had rhythm and could dance. I doubt he'd find anything about Bristol attractive. Anyway, he supposedly has a gorgeous and amazingly talented girlfriend, Jeanine Mason, So You Think You Can Dance winner.

A pregnant moron who cannot dance, dressed up as a gorilla, trying to imitate a circus bear....send in the clowns..........
ReplyDeletethe song by Stephen Sondheim:
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.
Meaning of title
The "clowns" in the title do not refer to circus clowns. Instead, they symbolize fools, as Sondheim explained in a 1990 interview:
I get a lot of letters over the years asking what the title means and what the song's about; I never thought it would be in any way esoteric. I wanted to use theatrical imagery in the song, because she's an actress, but it's not supposed to be a 'circus'.... It's a theater reference meaning 'if the show isn't going well, let's send in the clowns'; in other words, 'let's do the jokes.' I always want to know, when I'm writing a song, what the end is going to be, so 'Send in the Clowns' didn't settle in until I got the notion, 'Don't bother, they're here' which means that 'We are the fools.'
In a 2008 interview, Sondheim further clarified:
As I think of it now, the song could have been called 'Send in the Fools.' I knew I was writing a song in which Desirée is saying, 'aren't we foolish' or 'aren't we fools'? Well, a synonym for fools is clowns, but 'Send in the Fools' doesn't have the same ring to it.
Intellectually, Bristol and Levi ARE a perfect match.....REALLY!
ReplyDeleteI always suspected that, but the more she speaks, the more she proves it.
bring Michael Bolton back
ReplyDeleteDang, I was hoping the clip would show the audience clapping after the dance. I rewound the DVR a couple of times, but I'm still not sure. They were all clapping politely except for one girl. I could have sworn it was Willow.
ReplyDeleteAnon @7:30 - Mark's hand is ALWAYS on her waist. I think he's trying to help cover it up.
6-6-6 - yet again. a cryptic message from the judges. gotta love it.
ReplyDeleteBristol joined DWTS to show her work ethics. I'm sorry, I just don't see it. Seems to be getting worse. It looks like she just learned the dance the day before!Do you think she is trying to look lousy on purpose to get off the show or is she really that lousy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the judges are getting tired of Bristol and the only reason she is still on the show is because of the people who bought her mother's ghost written book are voting for her.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see how the call in votes tally for everybody.
Mark isn't gay! Why do you think he is? Because he's a dancer???
ReplyDeleteShe obviously hated dancing, she is rebelling against her mother, and she blew it on purpose. What a pitiful display of her upbringing in all it's sadness coming out in public. And now she will have to fall off the face of the earth to have the baby. What's that, #3 or #4?
ReplyDelete"If you want to vote for her mom to be president in 2012, voting for Bristol in this Dancing with the Stars competition is very much helping Governor Palin’s chances of getting the Republican nomination in two years.
ReplyDelete"The better Bristol does, the more chances the Palins have to be in front of Independent voters, where people coast to coast get to know the family through young Bristol and start to think about how great it would be to have her as a First Daughter. The same is true for Governor Palin’s TV show about Alaska that’s set to debut soon. All of this is building the Palin brand and establishing this family as our next First Family."
http://hillbuzz.org/2010/09/28/with-your-help-bristol-palin-could-actually-win-dancing-with-the-stars/
She's a loser, just liker her mom. Seriously, who fucking cares about this shit?
ReplyDeleteGood God. That was the worst one thus far.
ReplyDeleteShe sucks. BAD.
I thought the dress was cute but her mind & body sure wasn't paying attention to the fun-music.
ReplyDeleteIt was like watching the pathetic ones from "America's Got Talent" tryouts.
Please America - send her back to her mother tomorrow.
I thought it was cute.
ReplyDeleteHere's pic of Mark with his girlfriend Jeanine Mason at the LA Kings game & another pic of Mark & Jeanine reheasing. So doesn't look like a Mark & Bristol match up.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mobypicture.com/user/MarkBallas/view/7758946
You can also see a pic of Mark & Bristol participating in the Habitat for Humanity Walk this past weekend in LA. What a change to actually see Bristol 'smile'.
At the rate she's going that girl is going to be 250 pounds before she has the baby. It's either a lack of self discipline or a rebellion against her mother who never acted like a mother to any of the children. I'm putting my money on the latter. To keep her going on this sideshow is just cruel and unusual punishment now. For those who have to watch her that is. For her it's a cry for help.
ReplyDeleteThe worst is watching that repulsive tongue lap she does in her mouth- an ugly habit she picked up from her momm just like the lying.
ReplyDeleteShe looked bigger to me tonight; I was comparing her figure to the other women - who seem to be getting more shapely.
ReplyDeleteEven Kyle Massey's shape is improving. He's cute, energetic, tons of personality and grace.
Bristol missed so many steps even I noticed.
She still wore a lot of clothes that suggested coverup.
Brandy has a rear end that projects out but she still looks slender when she's dancing - and did you hear that wonderful answer to the question - who is your biggest competition? My Fear and My Nerves. Great answer! Way to go, Brandy!
The judges were tough on Jennifer and Audrina tonight, too, so there's no way Bristol should use "suck comments" when she is asked anything tomorrow!
What a couple of days. Joe Miller bowls down an 8 year old to get away from press questions and his goons handcuff the reporter. He then goes national saying that his cheating use of fellow Fairbanks Borough employees' computers ain't so bad because he did it during his lunch break. Then Bristol performs on national t.v. in a monkey suit and tutu. We Alaskans are SOOO proud.
ReplyDeleteGryphen - Someone has posted Bristol/Mark's whole segment including the judging and scores.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YMI1RTjWZ4
Remember when the Palinbots cheered when Chicago didn't get the Olympics? Crazy. Nuts. But the same thing is happening here: why the celebration when this 19-year-old performs poorly? I think the entire Palin family has not just a few loose screws—I think EVERY screw is loose; but the venom spewed here about this contestant, to the point of high-fiving every missed dance step—has become unseemly. That anyone one cares is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteShe's 19—leave her be.
Curiouser, I'm not sure whether I find that link more scary or hilarious! There are actually people out there who think MORE exposure to the Palins will make them look BETTER? Mwahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteCuriouser, I cannot believe how delusional the 'bots are, even at Hillbuzz. The First Family?? WTF would be great about Bristol being the first daughter? Her ability to get pregnant easily? Her inability to speak properly in front of a camera? Her intellectual vocabulary with words like "sucks", "awesome", "yeah", "uh-huh"....the Palin family are NOT fans of education and I'm sure $arah's kids read even less than she did, which I didn't think was possible. Have we ever had a potential candidate for President that was revered like this, someone with little to no accomplishments to their name?
ReplyDeleteI thought tonight's performance was actually her worst so far. Her footwork was off completely and the two of them were not in sync. Usually by this point in the competition, the timing of the couples is very consistent due to all their practicing. I don't think Bristol knows the meaning of working towards a goal or having a strong work ethic, the second being floated as the reason she wanted to do the show, to prove herself, GAG!
Evolutionary! :)
ReplyDeleteLen totally blew me away tonight - he absolutely gushed over Bristol. Bruno & Carrie Ann looked at him like he lost his mind - he had. And he was so tough on the others. Must have a "crush" - on Mama or daughter. Cutest costume - worse dance. Forgot her steps completely after shedding the costume.
ReplyDeleteHope Christine was watching... get to see ape evolve into a person.
ReplyDeletefull and high waisted skirts and monkey suits will not change the fact the bristol has the clear and unfair advantage - because we all know baby makes 3!
ReplyDeleteBristol continues to "hide in plain sight" while she is preggers while dancing with the stars!
What do I think? I think that the monkey suit is the perfect metaphor for that family.
ReplyDeleteBut aside from that, I thought Bristol as per usual barely moved. However, I'm not sure why the low scores because I thought she moved a bit more than the last dance, and the dress was bright and cheery. She actually had a visual waist for the first time ever. So either it's tightened in or she's not preggers. And really, who cares. Bristol, like her mother, is becoming less interesting with time.
And once again her parents are hogging the spotlight. Todd and Sarah just gave an interview and said Todd was asked to be on DWTS first, before Bristol. What c*nts these people are. Can you let your daughter have SOMETHING of her own?
I think BP is resigned to it anyway. I think her one attempt at escape was when she left with the kid, stayed in the townhouse briefly, and contemplated creating her own revenue stream/publicity machine with Levi. That crashed. So from here on out, it's mama's game.
This whole DWTS thing was designed as a Sarah Palin stunt, anyway, just to drum up publicity for her, just like the reality show...oops nature show. It's not really meant for Bristol, and that's why she had such a dogface early on in the competition, she knew it, and it was just something she was told to do like another one of her chores. Later on I think she had fun with it.
That was by far the worst performance yet. I have seen some pics posted last night after Dancing With The Stars, and let me tell you, the belly is still there, and it looks like it's getting rounder and higher.
ReplyDeleteThat dress did an amazing job of hiding it, this one does not:

Gryphen, I sent you a pic via email
Ok, I guess I am the only one who thought the gorilla in a tutu was cute. I roared when she came out because after all, we've been watching the bump and wondering how they would dress her this week, and look! They really managed to cover it up. :-D
ReplyDeleteIf this show makes anything clear, it's that this "work ethic" that she and her mother claim ad nauseum that Bristol has simply doesn't exist. Seriously. They have a week to get ready and this is what she comes up with?
ReplyDeleteAnd you know you have troubles when you need to bring in clown trainers to teach a nineteen year old how to enjoy herself. It makes you wonder what growing up in that Palin house really was like.
And yes, she's gotta be pregnant or she's one of those people who eat more when they are stressed. She just keeps getting fatter each week
@anon 7:11. Exactly my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely stuffed into heavy duty foundation garments. I would think she is honestly uncomfortable, in her defense. The reason for the wide, wide skirt and the myriad layers of undulating fabric is simply to make her midriff look slim by comparison and distract the eye (and it works, here). These costume people don't fool around. They should win an Emmy for best concealment or something.
ReplyDeleteAll of her costumes have been odd, by the usual standards. They could be presented as "modest", and yet they didn't all have to have empire waists, strong horizontal lines above and across her belly, and also be drenched in so much fabric, in order to achieve that same goal. Other designs could have provided the coverage she claims to have requested as a value choice. These have all been noticeably the same.
The footage of the rehearsals says it all. 3 different outfits, all w/tops designed to cover her up. The hoodie is typical for her, but the lines and flowing fabric of the other two overtops are highly suspicious.
ReplyDeleteI imagine this is her last week - finally!
I think she was deliberately making mistakes so she can go home after tonight.
ReplyDeleteHow is everyone arriving at the notion that Bristol blew it on purpose, that she is pregnant, that she is rebelling? She's said from the start she doesn't like the jive, Her and Mark said that was the first time they tripped up wearing the costumes. If you watch the paparazzi vids of the stars leaving/arriving rehearsal, you'll find a much happier and comfortable Bristol. She's obviously someone who needs time to adjust to new circumstances.
ReplyDeleteand she wasn't the only one who was off and wasn't on their game. Jenny Grey made it clear that dance wasn't her forte. Its a little bullshit BRandy received a 27. Kurt was awesome and thats the only one that stands out. tv theme week=bad.
Willow, Lauden, two family friends and Heather were in the audience tonight. Willow was not visibly clapping after BRistol's dance but she has a tendency to clap low near her lap. Her and BRistol were fighting as of late. who knows, who cares
ReplyDeleteEVery contestant only gets a certain number of comps per show. Family members/friends are rotating each week. Sarah's still in California not far from LA. I have no doubt she is stopping by to see the group
ReplyDeleteGiven all the racist gorilla/Obama jokes and who her mother is, this costume choice was in very poor taste.
ReplyDelete---
Can you people not leave politics/hate at the door for 2 simple hours of televised entertainment? Mark is known for fun, weird dances. I was not shocked when Bristol said she'd be a gorilla last week
The jive is not easy. It's extremely fast and one has to be hugely animated to the point of insanity. I applaud Bristol for adding the gorilla suit. That could not have made the dance any easier. They did say in post show interviews that that was the first time they messed up. It happens
ReplyDeleteI don't buy that she's scared. She seems stiff and cold in interviews and her body language is always rigid. She never seems to have the natural, fluid flow of a young body; never seems to be at ease with others or herself.
ReplyDelete---
You just described a shy person who needs time to adjust. She was fine and happy on Leno. and she has a fun, outgoing life in Alaska.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiLdhmLPKK0
When is this nightmare going to end?
ReplyDeleteShe is NOT able to dance. Shake her b**bs, (lots of practice with that, I'm sure)and that's it!
Time for Quittypants' spawn to go home.
A couple of things that I noticed...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that was Willow in the audience for Bristol. She was not clapping when everyone else was, and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there.
Also, check Bristol out when Jennifer and Derek are getting their scores. She is sitting behind them, next to Florence. She has a very sour look on her face, has her legs crossed with her skirt so high that you really get an eyeful, and was the only one not clapping for Jennifer and Derek. Looks very much like she was pouting again.
Poor thing... the routine was just too hard for her. Truly, she can't dance at all. She missed so many steps and kept looking over at Mark for help! She's out of her depth but what would you expect?
ReplyDelete" Willow was not visibly clapping after BRistol's dance but she has a tendency to clap low near her lap."
ReplyDeleteOnly another Palin or an over the top Pee-bot would use an excuse like "tendency to clap low near her lap". Thanks for a good laugh, but what a pathetic attempt at defending Palins. Willow knew Bristol's dance was terrible. I hope Bristol makes it to another week just so I can read the foolish attempts to defend her.
here's the performance with the scoring:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR1KIBqMXeY
another devil's 6-6-6!
things seemed to fall apart this performance more so than in previous weeks. i didn't see the higher level of performance/projection that the judges noted.
i hate to tell them, but those were gorilla suits. hey hey we're the gorillas doesn't sound as catchy though. i just watched a couple of mya's old performances to cleanse my appreciation for dance. ahh, much better.
Yeah, this week sucked. Definitely out of her league big time now and as people are culled from the group, it's going to get worse.
ReplyDeleteWhatever her issues are, she needs to leave. Hope she gets her ticket home. Too bad for Mark - he seems like a nice guy who did his best to help her.
And you know you have troubles when you need to bring in clown trainers to teach a nineteen year old how to enjoy herself.
ReplyDelete---
This statement is implying all 19 yr olds are outgoing and camera friendly naturally. It's called being reserved.
There's plenty of pictoral evidence that Bristol knows how to have fun and laugh.
Oddly, the thing that came to mind watching this was "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes" from Cabaret.
ReplyDeleteThe Joel Grey version (Jennifer's dad!) isn't available on youtube, but this one isn't bad:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsfCe5-nEkw
Of course, this gorilla can actually dance.
I think BP is resigned to it anyway. I think her one attempt at escape was when she left with the kid, stayed in the townhouse briefly, and contemplated creating her own revenue stream/publicity machine with Levi. That crashed. So from here on out, it's mama's game.
ReplyDelete---
Bristol has hated Levi since Tripp was born. Fact. She wants nothing to do with him. She is making money to give her son a life. Fact. (all known thru the social network)
4:12 AM says "She was fine and happy on Leno. and she has a fun, outgoing life in Alaska."
ReplyDeleteYES, Bristol had a fun, outgoing life and she's got Tripp to prove how a good teen girl has fun.
Teen mom's have a tough sell on the shy angle.
4:04 AM Can you people not leave politics/hate at the door for 2 simple hours of televised entertainment?
ReplyDelete---
If you think Bristol Palin appearing on DWTS has nothing to do with politics, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
LOVED watching Mark Ballas bouncing up and down while Bristol Palin is untangling herself from the gorilla suit. He is really trying, but Bristol is too big a fail to cover for her.
ReplyDeleteDear Walter Neff,
ReplyDeleteI presume you have also written to Ms. Palin, who insists, after having had a child, has chosen to be an abstinence advocate and speaker. That is really a great responsibility, presuming Ms. Palin thinks she may be influencing young woman in what may well be one of their most life changing decisions. In that letter, I assume you take Ms. Palin to task because of her hypocrisy (no, not because she became pregnant, but because she is hiding her real feelings. Remember: "Abstinence isn't realistic.) She's also delivering a contradictory message based on the reality versus her words. Words: Single motherhood is hard, exhausting. Performance: Single motherhood gets you out of a boring 9-5 and into a world of private dancing lessons, couture photo shoots, and night clubbing.
As a potential future grandparent, I do indeed feel she deserves every bit of venom and loathing against her. If her actions and words cause even one young girl to head down the road of single motherhood, then Ms Palin has a lot to answer for. Of course, in her protected pseudo-stardom, she'll be blissfully ignorant of the tragedy she's caused.
It appears that all the full-time dance lessons in the world are not going to make Bristol a dancer. She has lead feet and can't do much of a kick. For someone as young as her that is unusual. The judges had a hard time saying anything nice about her this week. In the past they have given her too many nice remarks. She isn't improving at all.
ReplyDeleteanon @ 2:55 a.m. - yep. Agree. I have to wonder how Sarah convinced her back into the compound. I wonder if she used Tripp as exploitation fodder? Something along the lines of some sort of I can make the courts think you and Levi are unfit parents?
ReplyDeleteIvy (her mom's friend, not Bristol's being there in LA acting as warden), Bristol eating herself into blimpitude because she feels so trapped and depressed.
That story line would almost make one feel sorry for her, but until she shows a flicker of gumption or personality("abstinence isn't realistic") we don't know and should continue to treat her as just another dose of Palinpoison.
Sheesh, give it up. This gal is not pregnant. How many weeks have we been watching, and what do you think babies do over that many weeks? They grow. To me her appearance shows previous pregnancy, MORE than ONE, that did a number on her ab muscles, and she's never made an effort to re-tone them. Mel
ReplyDeleteWow it seems that Bristol and her mommy are posting today. She is terrible on the show and should have followed Michael Bolton out the door. In fact why is she there?
ReplyDelete"It appears that all the full-time dance lessons in the world are not going to make Bristol a dancer. She has lead feet and can't do much of a kick. For someone as young as her that is unusual. The judges had a hard time saying anything nice about her this week. In the past they have given her too many nice remarks. She isn't improving at all."
ReplyDeleteas hard as this is to type, I find this statement unfair. I am 28 but even 10 yrs ago, I had no natural rhthym nd couldnt dance to save my life. Bristol's a brutish gal, never had a girlike figure, but more mannish/stick. You cannot help that. Rick's height is a liability for his progress the same way BRistol's body is hers. Neither are vastly improving. Im proud of Bristol though. Bruno was right, it takes guts to leave Alaska and dance for millions. I would never do that and I grew up in theatre.
OOOH! The peebots are out! (Waves to them)
ReplyDeletePoster @ 4:04 a.m.
ReplyDeleteLittle hard to do when the entire reason BP is on the show is politics.
@ 4:06 a.m. First time they messed up, really? Uh no. Judges told them last week the shirt off was a distraction. SO they put on gorilla suits this week?
And point of insanity? absolutely not. Go back and watch the Jennifer Grey jive. Balance and controlling fast movement, yes. ENERGY and animation- yes. Bristol is just a lazy lardbutt. Since the beginning of the show, it looks like she's put on at least 20 pounds, about 40 since May. Dragging that extra weight around really saps you.
to @4:12 - seems a bit strange then for that personality type to choose DWTS and public speaking as a career, don't you think? Seems a person with that temperment would have stayed a dental receptionist until she matured enough to handle the big, bad world.
ReplyDeleteI can see a fish suit, a bear suit, a moose suit or caribo suit -
ReplyDeletebut a monkey suit was an overt hit at an entire human race in this country - and don't think it was not noticed ABC!
This american citizen is going to start a FULL ON BOYCOTT of ABC for advancing the notion that teenage babies get you on dancing with the stars and that overt slap in face by the daugther of the biggest sore loser was OVER THE STOP!
Hear that ABC - This American Citizen will not rest until I reduce your ad revenue!
Hmmmm....seems like Bristol Palin is the ONLY person who has ever been on dancing with the stars who "is not a dancer" and "is out of her element."
ReplyDeletePoor, poor Bristol.
BRISTOL WAS EMPHATIC that she was doing DWTS to show and prove her work ethic. It doesn't matter that she has zero rhythm or talent. She is an EPIC FAILURE for not showing that she can work or has ethics.
ReplyDeleteBristol not supporting her fellow
ReplyDeletedancers & being happy for them when they do well isn't surprising. My take on her is that she's very intellectually limited besides being unable to empathize with others' pain. If anyone in her immediate sphere succeeds, she feels threatened. The only one in that whole Palin bunch I feel sorry for is Tripp. (Bristol DWTS week after week,
I ask you! Those judges need replacing!)
Sharon TN
@6:04 - You need to look up the meaning of the word "fact" at Dictionary.com. You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteIn general, I've noticed a Palin family inability to use the pronoun "she." Bristol can't use it: "Her and ..." (Additionally, Bristol has issues with the basic use of articles such as "the," as in "She [Palin] represents...United States" in the famous WGE Homer video--unless that was Willow.)
And $P herself can't use the pronouns "he" and "she" correctly.
So any time I see comments on IM phrased like that ("Her and Tripp, e.g."), I wonder: Is it a Palin? Or a Palin friend using the same ignorant vernacular? Because most of us learned how to use "he" and "she" in grade school. And don't call me elite for caring and noticing. I am a member of a native tribe and I grew up in a red state.
it seems to me this year is the first one where there hasn't been a shocking elimination early on. It's been whittled down by talent alone it seems.We shall see tonight
ReplyDelete"Bristol has hated Levi since Tripp was born. Fact. She wants nothing to do with him. She is making money to give her son a life. Fact. (all known thru the social network)"
ReplyDeleteRiddle me this, all-knowing one. Isn't it a wee bit odd that someone who "has hated" Levi would agree to marry him and then pose with him on the cover of a national magazine?
The only "fact" here is that Bristol doesn't know which way is up. And I didn't even need some social network to help me out on that one.
Wow. American Exceptionalism, folks!
ReplyDeleteMartha, Thanks for the big smile, loved the appropriate Sondheim tune. To see the visual of a leadfoot, lardbutt gorilla was unbearable. Knowing it was a young person that has accepted public humiliation for a politician is beyond words. This type of public abuse will make the peebots swim with joy, they love self-flagellation of all types. They are so proud of Bristol for making a fool of herself on teh teevee.
ReplyDeleteBristol is jealous of Levi. She is competing with Brittani and Levi. She clearly did not hate him, love/hate and obsessed is more like it. She is bound and tied to Levi for life through Tripp. May be why she stuffed Tripp with sugar and cake and made the little guy look abandoned in her glamor pose when she was riding high as in that SarahPac set up as if she was on her own in Anchorage.
ReplyDeleteWatch Bristol's video with the big rose covered glass phallic symbol. She couldn't even pull that off, her lack of talent could not be hidden by the videographers in a music video and they can do magic with photography and effects. A gal with work ethics would have spent a little time in acting class and perhaps doing theater before allowing herself to be filmed as a bore and emotionally flat in a music video.
Bristol shows no sign of having any work ethics.
The pictures of Bristol leaving rehearsal show a very unhappy looking thirty year-old. Hard to believe she is just twenty. "Rode hard and put away wet" was my take on her. As to the "pregnancy?" Could be; maybe not. She's either eating herself into a blimp or she's dancing for two. Definitely something wrong that she's gaining weight while supposedly working out on a difficult dance routine. She is very ungainly for a young woman who was reportedly in sports. When I was a phys ed major, we had to take ballroom dancing as part of the curriculum. I used to dance with football players; many of them were lighter on their feet than Bristol.
ReplyDeleteI thought the gorilla suits and pink dress were cute enough. At least she was trying to entertain. But forgetting her routine disproved that she is trying to dance as well as she can. So much for that work ethic.
ReplyDeleteThe remaining dancers are better; she should leave now.
What a work ethic! As an excuse for not having put in time or effort to learn anything, Bristol exclaimed "I hate the Jive". She looks beyond ready to quit, er, be voted off.
ReplyDeleteSharon TN "Bristol not supporting her fellow dancers & being happy for them when they do well isn't surprising."
ReplyDeleteI have noticed Bristol is void of decent human traits, like caring for others. Don't forget Lanesia Garcia and how she is with the Johnstons, how she misinformed people at the Tennessee trial, she doesn't even know what her own brother is up to and she treats the Morlock situation weird. But it seems all of Alaska has zero interest in our soldiers and the Afghan torture, maiming and deaths.
The dancing show was about team spirit and good sportsmanship at one time. Now it is about catering to a politicians brat and lies for ratings. What a sad bill of goods ABC is trying to sell people. This could have been a good family program but they have no values. Bristol has brought everyone involved down to the Sarah Palin level of poor sport and no class.
ABC is our local station affiliate and I stopped watching years ago because they suck. The best idea I've heard in a long time is the BOYCOTT. The advertisers will never know how people think and feel if more won't speak out.
Could it be that Bristol purposely missed a few steps in order to put an end to it?
ReplyDeleteCould it be that her only confidant is her sister Willow and she has confided in Willow that she needs to end it?
Could it be that any of the professionals on the show who are associated with Bristol are hating what it's doing to their professional reputations?
Could it be that Len Goodman has complained that he has pushed the envelope for Bristol so far now that he's worried about his own credibility?
Could it be that the sponsors are pushing hard to keep Bristol on while the shows executive are worried about their own credibility being destroyed?
You people can take this as inside info.
How in the world did she "mess up some of the steps"? He literally pushed her through the whole dance. She had very few steps to take. Mostly, she stood and shifted her weight. After all those weeks of "work ethic" practice, she should be able to do better than this.
ReplyDeleteUm, Anon at 6:04 ("Bristol has hated Levi since Tripp was born. Fact. She wants nothing to do with him. She is making money to give her son a life. Fact."), if you do indeed know what you're talking about, then you have just proved the supposition that the second B&L engagement announced last spring was just a trashy cash grab.
ReplyDeleteThe girl is dumpy, sulky, vindictive, and dumb. And since she's constantly selling her story to the tabloids and dancing on the teevee, she is encouraging us to talk about her. We looove our freeeeedom to do so. Suck it up, princess.
OK. Three observations - besides what I had said earlier - after seeing the full youtube video:
ReplyDeleteA) Bristol is getting FATTER, not FITTER. (Nice links - especially the first one with her in the black dress, FBL!)
B) Whats up with her tongue swirling???
C) Willow was there - she showed up briefly (NOT clapping!) when they showed the audience clapping.
I haven't watched DWTS. Actually my only exposure to DWTS is this blog. I'm not even sure my sole exposure is good or bad. Frankly this vid is the only one I've watched, so my sole exposure could be considered a bit "trumped".
ReplyDeleteI'm not even sure how many weeks this contest has been going on. I could careless, except to comment today.
My gawd, get that girl off. Does she need to do this to boost self confidence? Cause there are other ways, one could ulitiz, to raise the bar, on how one feels about one
self.
No wonder my nieces and thier friends roll thier eyes when it comes to Bristol. Look these young adults are
christen rightwing people, raised in the Mat Su valley. They actually think Bristol thru her own careless actions and nasty persona left the school district back in the 9th grade. When she did finally show her face, she knew she blew it long ago.
From reading the comments, i understand this shaking of the boobs isn't the first time she has done this. Ug. Cause that's about all she did on que in this performance. Shaking the ta tas.
From reading the comments, she dry humped last week. Am I to believe this is her talent, shaking boobs and dry humping to music?
My younger relatives and thier friends out in the valley say "yes" to that last sentence/question.
"She has lead feet and can't do much of a kick. For someone as young as her that is unusual."
ReplyDeleteShe's just not trying. She thought she'd be there 2 weeks, collect the $125K for some light work and vamanos back to the compound. She's gaining weight, not toning up, so she's certainly not dancing 6-8 hours a day like Jennifer Grey. Ballas practically dragged her around the dancefloor last night. It's obvious she doesn't give a shit, she's throwing the game and deliberately trying to get kicked off. I think they'll give her one more week just to f@ck with her, then really let her have it the next week. Her work ethic is certainly on display - it's a poor one. She's lazy. Kelly Osborne had no dance ability either and look what she accomplished because she tried.
Genius! Of course Bristol and Levi sold an engagement story for the money. Anyone would in their shoes. Supply/demand. If Gryphen was correct in saying Sarah was pissed at the announcement, you know Tank was all about that USweekly spread.
ReplyDelete"and she treats the Morlock situation weird"
ReplyDeleteI'm confused as to how you've arrived at this statement when she has only publicly addressed Jeremy on facebook, where she has said "I'm praying for you" and "I love you".
Family situations involving war are private matters. Bristol is a third party. Let's leave the Morlocks alone. Jeremy should be released soon anyway
See these pictures from last night if you still don't think she's pregnant.

to anon @ 8:25 a.m.
ReplyDeleteNothing more than a mannequin or a puppet. She shows absolutely no intellectual curiosity - is she stoned, or stupid?
Uh, some sort of "mother nature figure" in which case, she should have shown some concern or emotion towards the frozen rose.
Uh, we're "halibut fishing, I think." Well for a native Alaskan, shouldn't that be like, immediate knowledge, considering that's one of the things your mom lists on her resume and that she's been claiming is part and parcel of who she and the family is/are? And it's not like this isn't news. Even down in the lower 48, we know that the halibut industry still hasn't recovered from the Exxon Valdez. Even charters are limited to ONE halibut per day, IIRC.
Interesting. I went over to the peezoo (yes, I washed my hands and brain afterward. (Stock tip: as long as Plain stays around, invest in Chlorox)
ReplyDelete0 comments on the Bristol dancing article - hmmmmmmm.
I think she messed up repeatedly on purpose - get the boot so we don't have to see her pregnancy continue to develop. Maybe the costumers suggested the idea to her. Maybe they've done all they can.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave my thoughts at this:
ReplyDeleteI am happy that Bristol doesn't sugarcoat herself and her words. It's perfectly natural not to like every single dance. Jenny Grey obviously hated the quickstep and she also didnt mince words. Bravo Bristol for your honesty. It brought humor to the night. Candidness in hollywood is always good. Too many of these stars are too packaged and rehearsed in speech. And I'm sorry, but Brandy was WAAAAAY too overscored. 3 9s for that dance? Cmon. At least the public agrees with that.
Seems like Bristol has no mind of her own. Normally, her mom tells her what to do -- like living in the condo that Mommy bought. She's so used to dully following directions that she just goes along with whatever Mark tells her to do ("He got clown lessons for me") without putting any effort into it on her own.
ReplyDeleteIf any of my adult kids had heard from judges that they needed to do some more connecting with an audience, they would have been the ones demanding answers from their coach: "What can I do to learn how???" They would not wait for the coach to tell them and then go along with it with no panache.
Then again, my kids would have actually been practicing all week, so they wouldn't have been embarrassed in front of the judges and the nation.
i don't watch DWTS but have to wonder - why the hell is bristol always stripping her clothes off? do all the dancers do this?
ReplyDeleteShe should have left the costume on.
ReplyDeleteNow burning my Monkees albums... sigh...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ 10:48 has hit the nail on the head. She's actually not a terrible dancer compared to some they've had on. She was approximating a bunch of that on purpose in order to set up her being the next dancer kicked off. They can't hide that pregnancy any longer, it's too much effort.
ReplyDeleteaah a peebotpeebrain @ 10:54.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Grey danced the foxtrot last night. And Grey said, what if it's the one I can't dance, not the one I hate.
BP comes off as surly, can't take criticism and a sore loser. Sooo obvious she may have been pushed into this.
OMG, HOW is that girl staying on the show? That was pathetic. She kept looking to Mark for the next step (ever heard of REHEARSAL, hon?).
ReplyDeleteImagine a woman who can REALLY dance, doing that routine. It would have been awesome.
Go home Bristol.
8:47
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. What else do you know?
You guys don't believe Bristol's gained major weight only since shw started on DWTS?
ReplyDeleteCheck out this photo of Bristol at the after party when all the DWTS contestants were announced:
http://www.stylebistro.com/lookbook/Bristol+Palin/eHpk8UyYYg6
She is wearing a tighter fitting top with a belt around her stomach.
Now look at this from last night:
http://www.stylebistro.com/lookbook/Bristol+Palin/eHpk8UyYYg6
I also saw a picture of her from last night sitting down in that dress, leaning to the side next to her cousin. The belly is high and round, and does not roll like fat would.
Something is going on there...not normal for her to be getting bigger. I for one hope she stays on.
Bristol out (again). Granted, for her birthday, but come on. I thought she gave up a lot to be a mom.
ReplyDeleteMy child is 19 months and I still haven't had a chance to go out like she does. I wouldn't want to, anyway. I actually love my child and enjoy being with him. That's called being a parent--and a grown up.

You're welcome!
FBL at 12:53
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are both the same
Sorry anon, but if you go to the gallery and scroll through all the Bristol pictures, you will see it! I don't know why the posting cut the URL off...I'll start making tiny URLS from now on!
ReplyDeleteThe Mint has some all age shows where evidently they don't serve alcohol and the under 21 crowd has to pay $5 extra.
ReplyDeleteMany of the other dancers aren't there for her birthday, but rather to see Ballas perform. Chelsea in the video seems a bit befuddled by the birthday thing.
How can she spends weeks training with a professional dancer and actually perform WORSE? She is not putting in 6 hours practice a day.
ReplyDeleteAnd she looks like she is getting heavier as the weeks past. Her face and arms are getting rounder, and I bet that pink dress was layered over an industrial strength girdle.
The "pregnant" theory is too crazy for me, so I'm going with "walking half-heartedly for an hour through her practice sessions, and spending the remainder of the day eating ice cream on the couch while the nanny takes care of Tripp" explanation.
Why the gloom? I think she tried and failed to break away from mommy dearest with Levi.
Her's is a sad, puppet-like existence and she is self-medicating with food.
yeh throwing her fat arms to her side and jiggling, that movement that her mom also was so fanned abt. She does it again LOL
ReplyDeleteShe sure could hide her bump in that hideous suit.
ReplyDeleteLevi must be rolling on the floor.
Remember, the nanny is at least part time Warden Ivy. She's in all the birthday photos, too. $carah better be sure she never, ever pisses off Ms. Frye.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's a lot of power to settle on Ms. Frye - soooo many secrets, soooo many news outlets and enemies made who would pay very well for such info.
ReplyDeleteThe gorilla suit was another typical Palin misdirection ploy.
ReplyDeleteMark my words- when she is ultimately disqualified tonight- it won't be "Bristol" that America rejected, rather her misfortunate choice of the gorilla costume.
America didn't reject Bristo Palin- Nooo Waaayy- she just messed up by wearing an ape suit to a formal dance.
She's done- tonight- and the wardrobe malfunction will be her convenient exit strategy.
Sarah is not a Mama Grizzlie. Sarah is a Mama Apesh1t
ReplyDeleteWho are the anon teens on here with all their "facts" about how great Bristol is?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, she's not 19 so stop saying that. She turned 20, and any normal person would be glad to say they're 20 even well before their actual date. With Bristol, it seems like they're making excuses for like she's retarded or something. She's not retarded, she's a smart girl. Not educated, but fairly street smart, I'm sure.
I always hear,
She's only 19.
She's not a dancer.
She doesn't like the Jive.
She's not fat, she's a normal weight.
She's a Christian she doesn't want to dress scantily.
Here's my answer to that:
She's 20.
Neither is Margaret Cho.
She didn't sign up for SYTYCD, she signed up for DWTS.
She's fat. (or preggers).
She has no problem dressing like an LA girl around town.
Sorry to sound like I'm dissing Bristol, but I don't like hypocrisy and I don't like people making petty excuses. If you put Mercede up there no one would be making excuses for her and the bar would be 3X as high.
I"m confused about the cousin- the only one I know that looks like the Palin girls is Miranda. ???

ReplyDeleteThose pictures are VERY telling. Her face is BLOATING. The spanx is holding it all in, but badly. She looks like she did during the campaign when she was "5 months" along.
It is way too late for Len Goodman or anyone to worry about their reputations after what has played out in front of millions of viewers.
ReplyDeleteTheir credibility has been destroyed.
This is as scandalous, if not more, than back in the old time Payola days. A politician and a PAC set this up for Bristol with the ad men or producers. Len and all the dancers are ruined as far as any decent person is concerned. Why didn't they worry about reputations when they could have stood up to the criminals that put in the fix? Why is the public allowing them to get by with this? The judges, host and pro dancers are all as rotten as the crooked industry that does this trash. No one should survive this with a reputation of any quality, they are all in on the fix one way or another. They signed their souls away for a brief moment to try and recapture some glory and more money. Fame may pay well but it is cheap.
I am in total shock after looking at the photos of her birthday with the paid help and a relation. They all look miserable, what is with that for a birthday celebration?
ReplyDelete#22 is a trip. I would have never quessed that is Bristol Palin. She must be pigging on cake and McDonald's at every moment she can. How can she bloat so fast? Some of her pictures remind me of Liz Taylor after she ate all that fried chicken. She just ate and got grotesque but didn't care for the longest time. Finally she saw a photo of herself that grossed her out.
No one cares about Bristol, she has no friends left or they would address what most people see and her so called friends and followers are in denial about. I am sure some see the tragedy that is unfolding but they don't dare leave the script they must stay with. Obey.
Rodeo clown! You gotta admit this sideshow keeps interest in the show higher. Just how goofy can a 20 year old mother get?
ReplyDeleteDear God,
ReplyDeleteIn the past three days you have taken my favorite TV Mom Barbara Billingsley and favorite TV dad Tom Bosley. Please make it a trifecta and take my favorite teen mom/DTWS dancer Bristol Palin
Florence Henderson voted off and Bristhole stays? WTF? Is $arah paying ABC off or something?
ReplyDeleteFor once, her dress was cute and looked good on her.
ReplyDeleteOMG the PeeBots didn't get the MemO: Bristol wants to leave.
ReplyDeleteThey voted her in AGAIN!!
We get to watch her Pregger belly for another week!
I am so happy!!
What is the green thing in her mouth? It's typical for drug addicts to suck.
ReplyDelete8:27 PM. The fix was in before Bristol was told how she was to obey and do DWTS.
So I started to feel a little sorry for Bristol. If she really doesn't want to stay on the show and her mom's rabid fans keep voting for her, that kinda sucks. And her parents' oft-repeated refrain that DWTS really wanted Todd is really unfair.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, she is getting more $$ per week to show up to a few rehearsals, do a couple interviews, and let Mark drag her ass around the dance floor than I will take home in all of 2010. So I'm a little bitter. And before any P-bots say anything about her "courage," let me add that I'd go on DWTS in a HEARTBEAT and LOVE the chance to work my butt off doing something that fun. Alas, I have no claims to fame--no parents who sold out my adolescence for fame, no teenage pregnancy, no current "baby bump watch." Just a master's degree, self respect, and a work ethic.
I'd also like to say that I'm over hearing Griftsle whine about what she has given up. Given the amount she's been photographed going out in LA, she's not giving up a hell of a lot of social life to be home with her kid. I never, ever, ever thought I'd say this, but as teen moms go, I have a lot more respect for Jamie Lynn Spears. She's a teen mom who actually had to give up a lot to keep her child.
Anon. 8:16, Barbara Billingsley and Tom Bosley lived a full life and die at an old age, are you asking God to cut Bristol's life short? How could you go so low by wishing death to a young adult. I am not a Sarah and Bristol fan, but I will never pray or wish harm to anyone.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:28 Bristol weight gain can mean there things:
1) She is pregnant
2) She is depress and eating to full in that empty void. Bristol is force to be anything but herself... Sarah pushed into being a spoke person for teen and speaking those things she don't believe in.
3) She didn't want to be on DWTS, all she see is money... but money don't by happiness.
Bristol need to get away from her controlling mother and be herself
The pics in the black dress at the club were kinda a little shocking to me. I wouldn't even have recognized her as Bristol without her name. And how in the world can she bloat up so fast? She may not even be preggers, she may have some kind of problem.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but the overdone eye and brow makeup, the spray tan, the short black and silver dress, the shoes, the hair pulled back, chomping on gum or candy...she not only looks 35, but tell me this pic is any different than any of the other Hollywood badboy or badgirl pics we see in the mags. And her expression - very comfortable, very happy, very different than on DWTS.
It screams one thing: Bristol is very comfortable being single and slumming it, and not so comfortable in formal settings with people who can get a good look at her. At those moments, she has to use her baby as a buffer, or constant references to mom and alaska, and her "passionate" issues. The real Bristol is likely what we see in the club pic. Which isn't a horrible thing, I mean in my 20's and even before that (we snuck into clubs before we hit 18 back in the day) my girlfriends and cousins and I all went slumming, and hit the strip. It's just that it's being a little two-faced, I think. Just be who you are. Don't pretend you're better than any other kid just because you're a Palin.
Now later on, she'll say to the press, oh LA is ok, but it's not like Alaska! LOL.
