Somehow I think this perfectly illustrates Bristol's work ethic on DWTS this season.
My opinion of Mark Ballas has been all over the place as I watched him trying to coax an actual performance out of Bristol, but his work ethic was never in any doubt. The guy did everything he could think of disguise his partner's lack of talent and ambition.
Of course why should she actually "work her butt off?" She knew the fix was in.
(H/T to curiouser. Thanks for the screen caps!)
Got something for ya Gryph!
ReplyDelete“This speaks to a bigger picture here that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously we’ve gotta stand with our North Korean allies.”

DootDid
From the Golden State of California! I LIKE HANGING OUT with you guys. Will stay tuned.
ReplyDeletejust watched Bristol on the View...she still barely moved
ReplyDeleteyeah that dance really sucked.
ReplyDeleteI felt sorry for mark at first, then I came to think of him as a little shit because he was buying the palin myth, but after that facebook rant it became clear that he woke up to the truth. I'm sure he's extremely relieved that this is over. he's a great dancer and deserves a bonus for having been the person that got stuck with bristol. I could not imagine being in his shoes and having to train someone who is so thoroughly lazy.
Yup,that's Brystil, workin' on her back. Great screen shots!
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she is being born again via Mark! The guy could become a labor coach since he has delivered a big baby!
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the flat shoes?
Mark is undoubtedly a polished professional. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better for him to hold back some of his energy a little, so as not to contrast Bristol's bump-on-a-log demeanor. Who knows, maybe he did sometimes. He did the best with what he had, which wasn't much.
ReplyDeleteLast night was the only time I've ever watched, just to see the result. If Bristol was at the top of her game last night, as the judge's said, then it's pathetic that she made it as far as she did. Then again, look where her mother is, and she's as equal if not more of a nobody than her dull daughter. And I don't just say this because I can't stand the Palins. For a performance of national stature, she was really lame.
How's that big middle finger workin' out for ya' Bristol?
Haha.
Weak weak weak...
Face it people, Brisket moved like a muskox on the tundra.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while there was a kick of the leg and always the teet shake with a dry humpin to follow.
Trailer trash until the very end...
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin's comment on the last show:
“Going out there and winning this would be like a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me."
And so here's a big ol' middle finger to YOU, Brisket.
He appears to be attempting to lift a downed cow!! She certainly looks preggers in pic 1 and 2
ReplyDeleteShe has no grace at all. Sloppy.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture Gryphen has posted -- looks like Mark had to dig in and plant himself in order to pull the moose across the floor!!
ReplyDeleteBefore leaving NYC, we'll see Mark entering a hospital for blowing his back out!!
How is poor Bristol not sexy? Sex replaced dancing, the entire show. No, Bristol, you definitely "brought The Sexy", as judge Carrie Ann commented.
ReplyDeletePlease, get over it. Nobody "hates" you and your mom. That's something YOUR MOM told you. And your church. And your handlers. And your mom's friends.
It's sooo Amway - stop it. Nobody "hates" a complete stranger, right? Or a politician. It doesn't even make any sense. Using that language personalizes an impersonal situation. Really inappropriate.

Were they dancing to Surfin' Bird by The Trashmen? The pictures easily could have been labeled "taking out the trash" as that is what it looks like was happening in them.
ReplyDeleteIf you showed these pics to someone that does know what the subject is, how wou;ld they describe them. Surely not dancing.
to bad the MSM is not picking up on her middle finger comment...watched MSNBC and all i heard is a good for her blah, blah, blah. At least most of the news seems to focus on Korea which it should be.
ReplyDeletei wonder if Bristol is just going to disappear for a while-- go have her baby quietly somewhere in the wilderness. Maybe Willow isn't pregnant, and maybe she's going to fake a pregnancy so that Bristol can continue taking money from the Candies Foundation for abstaining. She's like a pretend-reverse-whore.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly, emrysa!
ReplyDeleteI thought Mark deserved some 'combat' pay for having to
deal with such a high maintenance and quite lazy partner.
OMG, those pictures tell the story, don't they? Hey, check out Bristol's fan page:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Bristol-Palin/109696302423164
Who does she sound like?
"Thank
you all for your love, support, and encouragement! God has truly given
me so much good out of this experience. Without God, Mark, my family,
and of course you guys, none of this would have been possible!!!! I feel
refreshed and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for Tripp,
me, and the rest of my family!... Much love, and again - so beyond grateful! :)"
Why is she suddenly trying to get religious when last night shw wanted to give all the haters the middle finger. Bitchol is just as manic as Sarah.
Props to all the comments on the blog...you guys are on point, and hilarious. I don't know if my work here is done or not, as it seems Sarah and the family are rapidly self destructing on their own. If I hear anything you know where I'll be posting
Happy Thanksgiving "Haters". Middle fingers all around. (He, he...THAT IS A NEW PALIN CLASSIC).
I'll look forward to revisiting the Turkey Day Massacre tomorrow.
If Bristol was a horse... they would have shot her, thinking she had a broken leg..
ReplyDeletethose pictures are fucking hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, all her performances were stiff and awkward. Poor Mark had to conceive choreography that worked around her lack of musicality, lack of technique and what little she was comfortable doing. It always looked like he was pushing and pulling a Mack truck. She didn't know how to follow. She wasn't light on her feet. She grew too heavy for lifts, so she had to climb on a chair so he could do that one trick. Bottom line, she couldn't dance and she didn't learn how. I felt sorry for him from the get go.
ReplyDelete@8:30am:
ReplyDeleteSpot on. No one hates this girl.
It is the BEHAVIOR which people loathe. It is the LEARNED BEHAVIOR that is abhorrent and vile.
Its so sad this family cannot separate their behaviors from their person hood.
Hint: A person is not what is bad: it is their behavior which can be bad.
This lack of separation is due to shaming, causing a person-themself to feel They are what is wrong.
That is a big characteristic in this family: shaming.
oh well, too bad so sad.
OMG those are the most hilarious pictures EVER!!! Thank you for the "belly" laugh...
ReplyDeleteOh no anon@8:30 - I really, really do hate Sarah Palin - really...
Bristol on the other hand -unfortunately - is a product of nurture and nature - she can fix that if she has the guts - there still is time to become a real person - people can change if they want to - time will tell...
Sarah and her bots have made some new enemies. The fans of all the contestants who were voted off before Bristol.
ReplyDeleteSarah and her bots failed in their overt attempt to win a sympathy victory for Bristol by faking the so-called ¨death threats.¨
Sarah failed miserably in her ploy to prove to America that Bristol hid her pregnancy and, therefore, so could Sarah have hid her Trig pregnancy.
Sarah did succeed in proving to America that she has no qualms about publicly humiliating Bristol for a second time by putting her pregnant daughter on exhibition twice.
I found Mark's work ethic very impressive because of his high energy and his attempt to make Bristol look good.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, his buying into all the hoopla around Bristol and his defending her that she's 'normal' unlike the other dancers was annoying. I lost some respect I held for him as a professional dancer.
He should have known she wasn't that great and kept working hard with her but kept his mouth shut about how 'they deserved it'.
They didn't deserve it.
I saw them on GMA this morning and all the couples did a short dance. When Bristol and Mark danced you could hear him calling out the steps for her to follow. The other dancers didn't need call outs from their pros. Also when they got done Mark was huffing and puffing so much he could hardly talk, and Bristol, well her pulse stayed at resting. She was not out of breath at all. Then they were all on the View and danced again. Bristol had changed her outfit from GMA to a brown vest and three or four shirts, but her belly appeared way out there. I guess only time will tell?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/24/bristol-palin-dancing-with-the-stars_n_787963.html#s191168
ReplyDeleteLook at picture 12 of 13...she's holding her belly pregnant-woman style!
It must be Mark's fault. We all know Bristol is the personification of precision and grace.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's some fancy pageant dancin'.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens with the DWTS tour? Do all the dancers and "stars" (and um, "others") go on it? Just wondering how Bristol will bow out of that one...
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, Playboy!
ReplyDelete"In a Twitter exchange with Hugh Hefner, the taut-bodied actress quipped that she was ready for a spread in Playboy.
"We applaud the conclusion of 'Dancing With The Stars.' The best dancer won,” Hefner tweeted."
Now, that is epic! I'm going to remember that forever!
Sarah was NOT there. They KNEW, didn't they. What a complete joke. Reality teevee and the entertainment industry smacks America in the face. Hard. With a halibut.
The truth of it is that this Wasilla girl would never have agreed to do this show without contractual assurances - money, outcome, support, expenses.
It's not her thing; never will be.
More good stuff:
"Meanwhile, Bristol Palin told Good Morning America that she "kinda" felt like she had gone through another political campaign after all the controversy surrounding her appearance on the finals.
"You over came a whole lot of challenges starting from ground zero to come so far," Sarah Palin told her daughter in a video message. "All of Alaska, we are proud of you, way to go Bristol the Pistol, we're proud of you."
www.nydailynews.com
Well, no. Not "all of Alaska". Just Wasilla.
it looks like my dog when he's trying to pull some old bone out of the ground when i take him for a walk...
ReplyDeleteCheck out the GMA interview:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.americansuperstarmag.com/celebrity-news/video-bristol-palin-speaks-out-on-dancing-with-the-stars-finale
Anon 8:30 and 9:06 Well said!
ReplyDeleteI dislike to laothe the toxic behaviors.
What I'll remember most is Bristol at the finale wanting to give a big middle finger to those who do not agree she is entitled to win, or via gaming the system or that being the winner of DWTS is a first class ticket to the presidency for a parent lol
BTW, my head is not exploding. It shakes in partial disbelief and disappointment a young woman granted such an opportunity got a sick kick of saying F U to the nation. Role model Miss Palin is not.
Truth is today Bristol has no motivation to move her legs unlike the other contestants...sad yet true.
No wonder I don't watch this show. If third place is a goofy clod like this how bad were second and first? If that guy is a polished pro why would he allow this to happen? If I had a job that required humiliating my self on video I would consider walking out.
ReplyDelete9:28 Right on! As Sarah would say. I noticed everything you did. As for the way she looked on the View, if that's not a pregnant woman then I don't know what one is.
ReplyDeleteGADS! Those photos are sadly hilarious. Bristol looks like she slipped on a banana peel, and her stalwart escort is trying to grab her before she harms herself. Absolutely ridiculous to be characterized as "dancing."
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to see that Jennifer Grey had to step down to appear with the Blob. Joel Grey is a consumate performer and the family was always held in such high regard before. The Grey's represent people that do have work ethic and work hard. Jennifer won but all the focus was on Blob and the crap-ass spin machine that republicans and the Tea Party put together.
ReplyDeletePistol may take a little time off but she is not done. She is infected with her newly fixed fame. I think she will abort so she can get into another performance. Fame is addicting. She thinks she is sexy and she can act now. We'll see. Maybe an Academy Award is in the not to distance future. Pray that she does not run for office, she could win with write in votes now she is American Sweetheart. The fact she had no talent and did this set up is why people love her, she is everyone's untalented daughter and she is up there in the same league as Jennifer Grey but not so old.
Mark sucks and is a long way from redemption in my book.
Those photos are horrible of Bristol..she looks like a beached whale being pulled onto the beach. Must have been very difficult for her partner to accomplish!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but believe she is going to look back at her experience w/DWTS in total disgust that she was ever talked into doing it. Certainly has produced much more negative commentary about her.
So hope that the other dancers leak information on this season even though I'm sure they signed contracts that said they were to keep their mouths shut.
The heck with her finger......
ReplyDeleteHow's that big middle working for you Bristol?
Watch
ReplyDeleteSarah in her usual fashion will shower us with tweets and FB rants about the Korean peninsula- drilling down to minuscule detail to demonstrate her overwhelming familiarity with THAT TOPIC- obfuscating and making ridiculous the assertion that Sara could possibly NOT have known the difference between the two countries...
YOU READ IT HERE FIRST :)
Let the DELUGE begin...
Brisket;
ReplyDeleteThe incredibly heavy blue sack of meat, you have to drag around the floor, to make a $ on DWTS.
She didn't even have the energy to "galumph".
Bristol has looked pregnant during this season and the photos that accompany your writing Jesse show this "loud and clear".
ReplyDeleteSo now that she's done dancing, will she return to her Anchorage condo or the Wasilla compound and hang out until the next delivery?
Ideas?
More like she worked her butt ON.
ReplyDeleteIt must have taken a very strict work ethic to keep the execise to a minimum while piling in the fast food enough to gain that kind of weight in 10 weeks.
Unless she would like to admit to another cause.
And it just keeps rollin'...
ReplyDelete"Bristol Palin's third place in finals but more 'intimidated' by media"
www.nydailynews.com
"This week's been extremely intense," she said during the ABC show on Monday. "There's lots of media and I'm more intimidated with that stuff than I am with [fellow competitors] Jennifer and Kyle [Massey]."
"It sucks that people still think I don't deserve to be here," she said in voiceover.
"I got the same paso [doble] score that Brandy did," Palin complained. "We're continuing to improve week by week and people don't acknowledge that."
Though the single mom told host Brooke Burke she was making sure to allows criticism to "roll off my back," her negative attitude while rehearsing her final number on Monday night -- a sexy freestyle that had her dancing in a cage to a number from one of Broadway’s most recognizable musicals, "Chicago" -- told a different story.
"I don't want this one to blow up and be a disaster," she told her partner, adding that she had never been to a Broadway musical or heard of "Chicago."
"There's lots of haters out there that are just waiting for me to fail."
OK, I just can't help myself:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.zimbio.com/pictures/k_vHeMEZDKQ/Bristol+Palin+Mark+Ballas+New+York/xBVaQ6cC-yO/Bristol+Palin
These are from this morning on GMA.
Bristol wore those hideous leggings AGAIN. With all that money she made, you would think that she would hightail it over to Pea in the Pod to get herself some designer maternity pants or jeans for a TV appearance. Could she look any more sloppy?
May we all send Bristol a love letter, help her discern and let her know what is the hateful part. She is one mixed up trouble young woman and she needs a good example. Like her mother, she is hiding behind all those scripts. _It is so monopolized at this point that for me it steps dangerously into the realm of some strange science-fiction movie from the '60s_
ReplyDeleteIt is great that Bristol started to learn about performance but the hype is what drives ethical people overboard.
Mark Ballas is apparently looking to make some money off Bristol Palin. Rumor has it, he is planning some exercise gig with Bristol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, he admitted on "The View" this morning "They hate her because SHE CAN"T DANCE"
Wow that is so amazing! How does she do it? I wish I could lay on the floor and have someone pull me around, not.
ReplyDeleteSP's latest idiot alert. She says we need to stand with our "North Korean Allies"
She is nucking futs. Period.
Here is a new tv show: Alaska's Little Bastards, starring Track, Tripp, Trigg, and the twin.
ReplyDeleteThose photos are a howl. The audience got to see something, but I'm thinking more "London, France" than "Russia from my house."
ReplyDeleteshe will not amount to anything because she has learned the path of least resistance. Sarah had the opportunity for dignity by staying on the job, perhaps going back to school, getting tutored on how to speak but, no. That is why I wonder who is advising her. If anyone, or is she just doling out money based on her on conceits.
ReplyDeleteIt also speaks volumes about all the parents out there that allow the "Finger Flippin' Mouthpiece" to speak to their teen daughters about being a teen mom.
ReplyDeleteWhat an upstanding role model -- for a snake.
Her having appeared badly in a bit part on some teen mother show - I think it's only fair the next time word is out there that she is appearing on something else - this thing called 'Sponsors' and 'Networks' come to mind!!!
What goes around - comes around!!!
Is that what they want on a show? Is that what they want to attach the product advertising to?
Anonymous 11:17 just hit on something important--Bristol figured out her mom's key to success.
ReplyDeleteYOu guys are a lot nicer than I am. I know so many nice people i guess, that any Palin behavior is aberrant to me.
Good Lord, is he dragging her all over the stage?
ReplyDeleteThat dance move may be Mark's fave. He has incorporated it with all his partners
ReplyDeleteNormally the guy would pull her through his stratled legs, I guess she is to heavy for him to pull her.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, is that dancing? I thought that they were trying a new position. He can hardly drag her fat bod across the floor. Yes, that has mirrored disco prize ball written all over it.
ReplyDeleteThe Grizzeled once again demonstrates her knowledge of world affairs, her knowledge of history and the fact that she does read anything unless it is on twitter!
ReplyDeleteGood idea - somebody needs to tweet the idiot and tell her who our ally is.
DID not watch. So Marc actually drug her fat ass across the stage?
ReplyDeleteHope he has workmans comp.
she looks like one of the dancing hippos in the movie Fantasia
ReplyDeleteOkay, a leetle bit painful to say, but I gotta wonder at Mark's future ability to procreate in the future, given the thudding impact at the end of the dance in the video!
ReplyDeleteOuch!
PMom (GA)
Thought "Weekend At Bernie's" had a musical sequel, but it was just Bristol Palin being dragged around the stage on DWTS
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin without the Spanx 11/24/10 on Twitpic OBVIOUSLY pregnant!

BEST picture yet!!
Was anyone else squicked out watching how Mark would try to cuddle up to while awaiting their marks? Every week it was more obvious when he would try to pull her closer, kiss her on the cheek only to miss as she pulled away and so kissing her hair instead, and this week he tried to nuzzle against her cheek and once again getting a face full of hair. It made me feel sorry for Bristol to put up with that though I wondered why she never took him aside and told him to cool it with the huggy cuddly crap since it was plain to see she was not into it.
ReplyDeletewtf?
Is he hoping to get the job as emergency husband or do the Palin women exert some mysterious force that turn some men's brains unto muck?
Colbert made a reference to her dancing as "Getting Piggy With It!" Poor thing - she get's no respect;) Bristol and her mom fail to realize you have to EARN respect.

He thought it looked big. He was in the spotlight, finally, and he wanted to show off.
If Bristoal Palin is of no talent, then why they won? It’s no business with others to judge her that way.
ReplyDeleteWilliams struggled with despair and psychological disease nearly all of their life.
