So who went home?
Not Bristol! She's going to the semi-finals.
And not Brandy. She's still in it.
It was former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, whom judge Bruno Tonioli called "an American idol."
You know I have NEVER watched this program before, but I have to admit I really enjoyed the dancing yesterday. The contestants REALLY gave it their all and worked their asses off to stay on the show.
With the exception of Bristol that is.
She was clumsy, and lazy, and completely uninspiring.
There is NO way that she deserves to still be on the show next week.
I understand that everybody ralizes that I am no fan of Palin, but I challenge anybody to fairly critique the dances from yesterday's show and then tell me that Bristol was better than ANY one of them. She was in fact, hands down, the worst of the lot.
All the Palin-bots are doing by keeping her there is revealing how completely arbitrary the competition is, and how easily it can be hijacked by people with an agenda that has nothing to do with rewarding the best performers.
This show no longer has ANYTHING to do with dancing, or a performer's abilities. In fact they might as well stop wasting their time having the contestants go through all of the trouble to learn the dance moves and each week simply trot them out like pieces of meat and allow Sarah Palin's spoilers to continue to vote their Queen's progeny into the winner's circle.
I guess another lesson that the Grizzled Mama can pass down to her daughter is that it is okay to cheat, just so long as you "win."
Starting in 2011, this season's DWTS will serve as an example of what the media, internet, popular culture will be -- controlled by the corporations that just bought the incoming Congress.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy... it was nice to know you.
It looks like Bristol has a pretty big following. There are countless websites and comments singing her praises. I'm happy for her. Her life has taken a turn for the better. May she always be this happy
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy when the pros stick up for their partners and defend each other. Last night Mark and Maks did just that. And on twitter, Mark came to Chelsie's defense. This really is what DWTS is all about. Defying odds, pushing comfort levels, learning something new...I stand with all level headed people when I say I really don't care who wins, and at this point can no longer predict the outcome.
ReplyDeleteSo, it has come to this: it's not how well you dance but how many votes your mother can call in.
ReplyDeleteJust a variation of "it's not who you know, but who you blow."
What a nice example for Tripp. What a nice legacy. Real class. So sad.
See, the longer people wait, the more the woolly mammoth gets away with the lying grifting ways. Come out come out where ever you are, group hunters.
ReplyDeleteWIth all due respect (clears throat), how is it cheating to put all one's votes towards one candidate? Obviously Bristol has a great number of supporters and they obviously aren't blinded by politics. This show has always been about qualities one finds endearing. From the mouth of President Clinton. We do not choose whom we're attracted to or admire or who inspires us. We cannot blame anyone for any outcome. a group of spectators cannot rig a dance show. All they can do is vote for the person they like best. And honestly, there's just as many anti-Brandy fans as anti-Bristol fans.
ReplyDeleteDWTS needs to change their very long voting period.....it encourages this outrageous activity! My heart goes out to the OTHER dancers who have given it their all, unlike Bristol the Pistol. She runs all over doing paid interviews and then she shows up and does her pathetic "shimmy" and finger point. Gag me.
ReplyDeleteThe show has lost all credibility.
Well, G, Bristol is the one who will suffer for this. You know she never thought in a million years she would go this far with her limited natural abilities.
ReplyDeleteWith her burgeoning belly, chin and arm fat, it has to be increasingly difficult to pull this off week after week, while trying to prove to the world once and for all that she is NOT pregnant. ('member how thin Marie Osmond got when doing this gig?) Bristol just gets fatter and fatter. You just have to know that her plan was to make a showing and get voted off because, you know, she sucks at dancing. Poor Mark will have to go on disability with back, knee and hernia issues.
OTH I think this could be the new abstinence contingency plan. When I was a small town teenager these types spent a lot of time riding horses... fast... through rough terrain.
Gryphen, I said exactly the same thing a few hours ago.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts: ABC chose to cast a politician's daughter. Viewers choose to tune in. Viewers then choose to vote or not to vote. The answer is clear.
ReplyDeleteOnly in America can someone like Bristol "The Dancing Cow", make it to the semi finals of what used to be a credible show.
ReplyDeleteThe trolls cannot tell me that Bristol did a great job. She was horrible.
What moves does Brisket has? She sticks her arm straight up in the air, she shimmies and that's about it, week after week after week. Whats funny about Brisket is that she resembles a trained monkey that repeats what is shown to her. In other words her dancing style is that Mark does a move which triggers Brisket to mirror him or he holds onto her and leads her around the floor and then she either shimmies or sticks her hand straight up in the air.
ReplyDeleteMommy they really love me, I'm safe again.
Does the Palins have any dignity at all. Everybody knows what's going on and I'm 100% sure her mommy and daddy realizes she is not winning because of her skills. Basically she is her mom, no skills, no education and no talent.
Oh come on, we all knew Kurt was going next.
ReplyDeleteThe real crime is that Margaret Cho, hell even Florence Henderson was voted off before Bristol, and Bristol the stump with the awesome sucks verbiage is still around.
Get ready for the explosive book deal, television interviews and magazine spreads about her DWTS while pregnant.
I don't bother to watch the show anymore. Nor do I have any desire to ever watch it again. I always thought the practice clips were probably a bit manipulated, but I felt the dancing/judging was on the up and up. Now I see it for the sick joke it is. These Palins are pure cancer. I feel sorry for the other contestants.
ReplyDeleteI'm also done with Disney. Thank God this garbage happened before I signed up for the Disney Club. I was excited about it after my Disney vacation this summer. Never mind now. There are PLENTY of vacation trips I can take my kids on that do not involve Disney. What sell outs.
The sad thing is that DWTS was a already a popular show WITHOUT having to sink to the level of pandering to this nasty fake family of frauds.
The DumbBots must think our opinions are pretty important. They rush right over here to defend Bristol.
ReplyDeleteThat is even sadder than the depths to which that show has sunk.
Butterball qualifies to go on the DWTS Tour unless she delivers first. Only in America!
ReplyDeleteWhre the hell are all the anthologies on YouTube of her constant, self-conscious AND self-defeating screw-ups? The girl plain just gets by, doesn't even fucking try.
ReplyDeleteHer counting, her missed steps, her constantly looking to Mark for guidance and catch-up.
Her dancing makes Sarah's Couric interview look fluid.
What an insult to people that have worked hard and trained at their hard-won shots and excell or move on from a skill set or trade they are fit for.
Just like her audacious Mama Grizzly, Bristol has never and will never be ready for primetime.
I think what's happened is that people saw that the fix was in and just stopped tuning in or voting.
ReplyDeleteThe bots just took over.
When the show stopped being about talent, it just stopped being fun for anybody who cares about that kind of stuff.
Anon: "It looks like Bristol has a pretty big following. There are countless websites and comments singing her praises. I'm happy for her. Her life has taken a turn for the better. May she always be this happy"
ReplyDeleteWhy are you happy for her? Please remind us all what in Palin's resume or past suggests she should be on this show?
To start ones' life on a show such as Dancing With The Stars is a commentary on what a person has to offer, career-wise.
ReplyDeleteNo one begins a career on this show, one only reinvigorates a career that has been many years in the making.
To make a C or Dlist dancing show your first stop in life might perhaps speak volumes regarding your viability as a national personality.
Who gives a shit. The poor girl has no skills, is lazy and feels as though the world should bow to her since she is after the the daughter of the almost vp.
ReplyDeleteGod, I don't watch the show, don't give a crap and hope the girl moves to Scottsdale and I don't have to hear about her.
The DWTS judges recognize Bristol's lack of dancing ability, grace, poise and effort, which is why she is usually at the bottom of the scoreboard. That's where the dance competition ends and it becomes a popularity contest. The whole process is flawed because they allow multiple votes by email addresses, phone numbers and texts. The bots encourage all their minions to set up multiple email addresses - and we all know that they have plenty of free time on their hands.
ReplyDeleteBrandy, Jennifer, Kyle and Kurt can dance circles around Bristol and their efforts are apparent each week, yet Bristol continues to be dragged across the floor, making a fool of herself and her partner.
I feel for the other contestants, who have really become exceptional dancers through hard work and perseverance.
Anon 7:07, you are deranged. DWTS is controlled by fans and ultimately by talent. I talented dancer has always won.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, the National Enquirer credits Bristol's fifteen pound (?!) weight gain with her penchant for fast food. However, the magazine also states: Despite her talentless two-left feet mastery rivaling KATE GOSSELIN's pitiful display last season, Bristol has been untouchable on DWTS so far. Word.
ReplyDeleteThey should have just called it a popularity contest for AIP and Tea Baggars.
ReplyDelete7:09 PM that is her mother's following. They work hard and cheat to get her votes. It is pathetic that is what makes her happy.
It's not fair to say she's cheating. She sucks, yes. The others are better, yes. But having more people call (as many times as they can from multiple phones!) is not cheating. They are playing within the rules set forth by the show.
ReplyDeleteCheating would be if she got the lowest number of votes, and ABC kept her on anyway. I don't believe that's what happening. Sarah's followers are just very organized, very dedicated, and more committed than the other stars' fans to keep her on the show.
The ultimate loser will be DWTS. There are so many people who will never watch this show again.
ReplyDeleteKurk totally outdanced the Peestool, but because of politics not any dancing ability she is still there.
To 7:15, what traits of BP do you find endearing, I'm just curious. The way she whines, licks frozen yogurt, wears a hoodie in 100 degree weather, the way she constantly complains about how hard her life is...what?
Here's a question: is the silence on Mercede's part due to her considering that Trig is actually Bristol's?
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:09
ReplyDeleteBristol's "following" is but a fraction in reality of the gaming the system in which one person casts intentionally and encourages otehrs to also vote 40 to 60 or even 130 times.
It is Bristol's choice, as the DWTS producers to gin quick appearance of popularity not just compromising to destroying personal credibility, loss of integrity, making losers of deserving potential winners, fostering lame and sameness beneath mediocrity and win anyway. Why bother to do one's best if you can do so so and be glorified you are Number One?
Just sayin' a cheap win cosntrolled by cheating the system actually costs Bristol Palin more than you could imagine and it came with a price of disgust, disappointment for DWTS. Shove her "win" up your ass for it cheated the unfortuneate unwed mom in ways that money can't buy and cheated other people also. Personally I won't watch the show again for I won't enable such bogus cheap thrills at the expense of so many...especially Bristol.
"how is it cheating to put all one's votes towards one candidate?"
ReplyDeleteNo, that wouldn't be cheating - borrowing phones, setting up multiple email accounts, and urging others to do the same, would be.
DWTs was a nice little entertainment break - watch, vote yeah! my fave won/lost whatever. Usually, it was between two close competitors - one more technically perfect versus an engaging performer who missed a half step. Fine.
But to have someone who so clearly is lazy at rehearsing and CAN'T dance, kept on the show by unethical voters - eh... just call it "Who do ya' wanna see on this show next week?" and be done, but forget the dancing - cause Bristle can't.
Remember, they couldnt find any people who wanted to do this show.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they didnt want to cuz this dipshit would be on and they already KNEW how the voting went down from prior seasons.
In the end she will have no cred at all, since this was all fake promo voting, not about 'dancing'.
Which we all can see she dont know how to.
Mark now has to keep this *smilie* thing going on since he's been caught up in the paylin snare.
7:12:
""it's not who you know, but who you blow."
ROFLMAO. I wondered if sp fucked burnett. maybe ole rupert, eh? LOLOL.
BP, it dont matter if you win this; you will always be a joke, shill, con, liar...well you know the rest! Rof.
You know what you will always be known for.
Always.
It seems clear that Bristol is going to win this competition. She feels empowered, has hired an agent and is looking for a home in Los Angeles I think I read somewhere. She really thinks she's got it goin' on! I can't wait to follow what will be a bizarre Hollywood career.
ReplyDeleteOne person was bragging how they voted 80 times for Bristol. Why doesn't the show have any standards? The part that is great are the dancers that do work hard. Now they are devalued. Rick was magnificent but the Tea Bag Party gave him the boot by voting many times for a political operative. I think that is a pitiful example on a show that should be for the whole family. Teach your children it is sport to vote as much as you can and steal an election. They are teaching low standards.
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to see where Jeremy Morlock may have developed his ideas about what is sport and winning anyway you can. I hope sociologists will one day research and examine the whole thing that goes on where the Palins rule when it comes to child raising. What makes them tick and how far will they spread their way? What part does poor nutrition play with what is happening?
LMAO @ Anonymous 7:09 Yes lets hope Bristol is always as happy as she has been in L.A. Now that would be good karma.
ReplyDeleteFYI, she is tormented & hates her life.
Brisket is getting big money to do very little week after week.
ReplyDeleteI thought Repubs were opposed to handouts for lazy people with illegitimate kids.
Anon: "It looks like Bristol has a pretty big following. There are countless websites and comments singing her praises. I'm happy for her. Her life has taken a turn for the better. May she always be this happy"
ReplyDelete"Why are you happy for her? Please remind us all what in Palin's resume or past suggests she should be on this show?"
Not to mention, I don't think eating disorder weight gain is generally taken as a sign of happiness.
Gryphen, welcome to the world of t.v.--You don't like the way they determine who stays each week, by including public votes as well as professional judges. Those judges haven't scored Bristol very highly, in keeping with her not terrific dancing (I have winced many a time while watching her). But big deal, so she's getting alot of votes from the bots. Like we didn't already know that--whatever the race--their votes don't go to the most skilled.
ReplyDeleteI know for sure that I will never watch this show again.
ReplyDeleteBut...wait...the upcoming show on ABC is Skating with the Stars...Surely, Fat Cow can ice skate..she's from Alaska, you know.....Wow back to back Winner!!! ROFLMAO
Here's what they are doing: They are signing up for multiple e-mail accounts and then using them to vote each week. Some have boasted about voting 150 times for Bristol.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's OK to cheat, as long as it's for the 'right' person?
Great role model.
The part where the judges talk to them is when it looks like cheating is going on. Like they are told to encourage her to stay on and not to give an honest critic. What is with that? The producers know how the system is set up. They may tell all the contestants to have their mother's already developed base do all the fancy voting. It still comes off as cheating because they could be more open and honest about that part. They might have better rules so it wouldn't be this bad. They aren't even trying to say it is Bristol's popularity, it is the popularity her mother has with people that will over vote.
ReplyDeleteBristol is still someone displaying some kind of health problem that the show does not address but it is used for ratings. I guess that is what we want in athletes and competitions. Ignore health and integrity and push people to win at all cost. If Bristol was doing 8 hour rehearsals like the others it would make more sense. They are treating her like she can't actually compete as a dancer and they have to treat her special. Those are her mother's base that vote and vote and vote for her. It is not Bristol's popularity. It may not be cheating to everyone but it devalues the real talent and hard workers. It is a farce and ruins dance on that show. Bristol would not be there except to develop her brand for political propaganda.
Kind of like William Randolph Hearst shoving Marion Davies down the throats of the public...
ReplyDeleteYou know what? This sounds exactly like what $carah did in the Wasilla mayor's race. Wasn't it like a pretty friendly, non partisan type of race just to see who would be in charge of paying the city light bill and making sure the trash got picked up? Then along came $carah, who brought in outsider partisans and made it bitter and acrimonious, etc.
ReplyDeleteLook at DWTS - everyone voted their allotted # of votes and you hoped your best dancer pick won. You said yeah or awe and went to bed and that was it. Along come $carah and Bristol and they make winning the mirror ball a do or die, encourage people to behave unethically, cut throat thing. The trophy is a frickin' Mirror Ball. I mean, how much lower could the stakes be?
Remember the idiot wannabe jock who was too scared to try out for the varsity football team, or did and didn't make it, who went into the friendly touch football game (winner buys the beer) and ends up like paralyzing/seriously injuring someone because the a-hole made a flying tackle at somebody? Or they're just so frickin' obnoxiously competitive that you move the game and forget to tell them, or no one wants to play anymore, because it isn't fun?
That's $carah Palin's America - and I don't want to live in it.
Oh my God. For real Gryphen? DWTS is a friggin tv show. Life is a popularity contest. If you're nice, charming, and friendly to the general public, you'll succeed in life. It took a great deal of guts for each celebrity to participate. I'm only glad this year there wasn't a star selected to participate who is a gymnast or figure skater because THAT's not fair and unevens the playing field.
ReplyDeleteI read that 5'5 Bristol weighs 120 lbs. Was that a typo? It sounds like they are cheating with those numbers. All of Wasilla can't believe how big she is now. It is shocking. Was she like this when with Tripp? Why can't they say what is going on? If it is diabetes that is serious. She is reminding me of those dancing bears that are dressed so cute, for a bear. The poor things wear mouth guards and their eyes look like agony and pain, but they dance and dance and dance. DWTS can't frame the shots of her head enough not to show her chins and the bloat. Her arms are not getting enough work even though she keeps lifting them up. When she comes down from this high if she looks at the tapes I fear she will go into a deep depression. Living for the moment can be hell.
ReplyDeleteWell, 7:50, I'll answer your question from me and my friends perspective. Bristol really hasn't whined on the show. she's shown frustration and discomfort and complained about low scores but everyone has. She is by far not the most disliked. As far as I've seen, other stars have proven to viewers to be more annoying and superficial. (You could guess if you'd be objective)
ReplyDeleteI love how none of you know any of the stars yet you pass judgment based upon when some random opinion blogger writes. Palm, meet forehead. Do you know how many times Gryphen has been proven wrong on his blog? ie "wedding invitations were sent out today" "Bristol is no doubt pregnant" "The Palin family is imploding" "Mercede tells the truth"
Really guys?
What a missed opportunity this season has been for DWTS. I had never seen the show before Bristol appeared on it this fall. I decided to check out dancers from previous seasons to form a basis for evaluating the criticism Bristol received. I went to youtube and watched every dance performed by Gilles Marini, Nicole Scherzinger, and Kelley Osbourne. I was amazed at the effort these contestants put into their dances and how much it seemed to matter to them that they do well. I was impressed by the choreography created by Derek and Julianne Hough and Cheryl Burke. Part of the pleasure of the program was seeing deserving dancers rewarded for their efforts. I didn’t realize until the past two weeks that the scoring results could be hijacked to reward one of the least deserving in terms of talent and improvement in dancing skill. It makes the show pointless.
ReplyDeleteJust an observation but Bristol gained 300 fb fans in the last 20 minutes
ReplyDeleteOMG, these people are nuts. No arms, no legs, just nuts! Read the comments...

7:53 PM
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Mercede is waiting until Bristol is off the show (or it ends).
Damn you, you dancing socialists, looking for your next handout!
ReplyDeleteThe still picture that you have posted of The Dancing Queen shimmying her way to stardom says it all...thick, protruding, round, "burgeoning belly"...I'm sorry, but that midriff is not a result of numerous Mickey D's...
ReplyDelete"That has been a big gift for so many," says Heath, adding that they stay at a motel across the street from the studio, "so that nobody has to drive us around."
ReplyDeleteA MOTEL. A MOTEL. A MOTEL. This is why I love this trailer wreck.
I can't fault the Palinbots for voting for Brisket because they are delusional and seem to have convinced themselves she is doing wonderfully. I do, however, fault the judges for giving her anything above a four or five, which is what she deserves. If they were scoring her accurately, then it wouldn't be such a farce. However, the truth is she shouldn't be on this program in the first place. She is NOT a star, she is the daughter of a polarizing politician. She has no fan base, she has her mother's flying monkeys. And THAT is why the Palins have turned DWTS into a farce.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that in the past, this happened on DWTS once before, only not such a crappy dancer, but definitely the lesser dancer. Don't remember who it was, but I thought they changed the Finals because of it.
ReplyDeleteInstead of a final competition between just the last two dancers, I think they switched to the last three dancers and ONLY THE JUDGES SCORES COUNT. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think they allow audience voting in the final competition.
Jennifer, Brandy, and Kyle are all so talented. It will be a bummer if Palin's hordes manage to get Bristol into the Finals ahead of any of those three.
Then she'll always be known as the crappy dancer who never should have made it to the DWTS Finals, so maybe not a total loss.
The Palin's don't ever seem to actually earn any of the things that come their way though, do they? It's always some manipulation that turns them into the lucky winner.
As I continue to say - anything Sarah Palin touches, turns to shit.
ReplyDeleteI heard there were agreements made prior to Bristol's going on the show which involved all the other stars to agree not to talk about Bristol to the media, etc.
I'll wager there are some very unhappy participants on that show tonight. And, with some that have already been kicked off.
Surely Bristol doesn't regard herself as a 'star' and on the level w/the other remaining couples? But, then she has hired an agent for herself and son - so I read yesterday.
I've watched this show since its inception and cannot believe this season.
"Well, 7:50, I'll answer your question from me and my friends perspective. Bristol really hasn't whined on the show"
ReplyDeleteWHo are you kidding "It's so hard being a single mom and I'm exhausted from chasing an active toddler around and dancing."
First, if she were really workring at dancing, she would be blimping - what a lazyass lardbutt.
ANd what utter bs! She has Ivey Frye and/or a live-in nanny, sends the kid to $carah and TOad or their nanny when she wants to be alone in LA and go out and party with Markie. Then she whines that she's homesick.
Tell that to all the REAL single moms (and even coupled moms and dads) who get to work real jobs for not enough cash and have to worry about rent (no mommy's compound) and doc bills and insurance (no IHS because you happen to have 1/32 Native blood) What a hypocritical WHINER Brisket is
Yeah 300 fb fans. Have to wonder if it was worth having the entire nation know what a crude idiot your mother is? Hey Brisket, would that be a lapdance?
ReplyDeleteWell $carah she already did her pole dance with that rumba.
""""Just an observation but Bristol gained 300 fb fans in the last 20 minutes""""
ReplyDeleteIt is a huge political machine that is generating votes. Not Bristol's popularity based on Bristol. The tea baggers are testing out what they can do for Sarah. They are very much into creating the thrill and excitement of voting. They'll do it for Sarah, too, but that is not only about a television show.
You know - in reviewing some of the thoughts. I don't think Bristol is practicing as much as the others. I just don't see how someone practicing more than five hrs. a day doesn't have more firmness and toning to her body.
ReplyDeleteShe has a terribly blaw personality with no enthusiasum or apparent energy for a young lady her age.
Almost feel sorry for her! Can't help but wonder how we would turn out with a mother like sister Sarah.
http://x17video.com/celebrity_video/bristol_palin/bruno_tonioli_on_bristol_palin.php
ReplyDeleteMaybe I don't fully understand since I've never watched this show with the exception of the videos here at IM.
ReplyDeleteBut to me, this seems incredibly unfair to the other dancers.
Why even bother if you're not going to get a fair shake?
If I were Bristol, I would be embarrassed to face the other dancers; and in knowing I'm not being judged by my own worth, but by that of my mother's.
Denise (Michigan)
I think that it is lovely that Bristol has so many supporters, especially those who write that there's no cheating in voting for Bristol. Except for one little detail. Early in the show, we read the Palinbots' websites where a number of them openly bragged that even though they were allowed to vote so many times, they ran over to a neighbor's house, used their kid's phone and racked up far more votes than would be allowed. Lou was right when he wrote that someone bragged that they voted 80 times. That's much more than the allowed number of votes. In politics, the expression is "Vote Early, Vote Often." On DWTS, it is not a system where loyal fans just cast their votes. They cast far more votes than they are allowed.
ReplyDeleteAs for the judging, I have to say that Bristol did not dance a tango and she did not dance a samba. However, the judges found fault with another dancer because he stood there for 4 seconds before getting into his number. Either there are rules or it's just a crap shoot. Not dancing the assigned dance strikes me as much worse than standing for 4 seconds. Bristol doesn't dance; she just does a shimmy and shakes her stuff. The judging standards are lame.
Okay, let's suss it out.
ReplyDelete1. It's a TV show. There is a cast, a set, camera angles, costumes, etc.
2. It is a pretend "reality" contest show. They have some kind of rules to it.
3. It's a participation thing - the public gets to be involved by texting votes. Obviously, if one CAN do 80 votes, then the producers know that and made it so one can.
4. If a contestant's success is ultimately based on viewer votes, then I can see how Bristol's staying on the show. If even a single person votes multiple times for a contestant(let alone a whole bunch of people it), and some other contestant has a couple of interested fans plus Mom and Dad vote once time each, then it doesn't take much to influence.
4. It's a TV show. Do you really think they care about "fairness"? They need and want to sell the show. It's about money. Bristol's presence gets people to watch, be interested, care what happens, follow on-line. Of course they're gonna keep her, shucks.
5. You want to personally influence? Here's how you do it. Stop watching and following what happens. Get everyone you know to quit watching and following. Dry up the interest.
6. #5, also too, for the upcoming Sarah Palin Show.
Something even funnier:
ReplyDelete"Believe it or not, Bristol believes it's her antistardom that's kept her around on DWTS.
"I think lots of people see themselves in me because I'm pretty untouched when it comes to celebrity status," Bristol told us (with a straight face). "I'm pretty raw and vulnerable when it comes to this whole thing. I'm just having fun and people see that."
And Mark agrees. Apparently Bristol is some sort of People's Champ.
Added Bristol: "People are definitely seeing me in a whole new light. I never thought I was going to be here, but I'm thrilled. It's crazy to me."
~Yeah. It's crazy to all of us.~

I wonder who does the counting of the votes? Could they lie about the results? I am pretty sure DWTS are embarrassed that they even let this little turd from SP on their show. Bristol Palin in the Sanjaya of DWTS. I believe they want her off but they don't have the guts to pull the plug.
ReplyDeleteOT
I hear your little Army GI Joe is being a prick about the recount and wants only ballots with Murkowski spelled correctly to count. He has Van Flea on the job trying to deny voters their right to vote. He is such a little shit.
I just wrote to abc and told them to stick their show. I thought Marie Osmond stayed too long, but she was a freakin swan compared to Gristle. What a crapfest this has been.Whining about being homesick so she has to go to alaska for a few days. Like any of her family is actually in Alaska! They're in L.A. with her! She has some kinda screwed up relationship with her parents. Every week she makes a big deal about "sexy dancing"?! and acts like she's going to get spanked if she does something wrong. And whoever paired the dancers knew what they were doing. Any of the guys besides the weenie Mark would've kicked her ample ass a long time ago. Mark is livin the dream, except for those back problems I see in his future. I would've had undying (almost) respect for her if she had said "No this isn't right. I'm not better than (insert ANYBODY's name)" and quit.But hell no, now she's looking for a pad in L.A. Won't she get homesick? I hate how this brings out the 14 year old in me, but I'm sick of this family everywhere I look, for no good reason. Curse you, John McCain.
ReplyDeleteis bristol romantically involved with marc/k? (i don't watch this show, so i only know what i see online, but he appears to really dig her in a very tender way when they dance in the clips offered....)
ReplyDeletein all of the clips offered here, and the ellen bit, etc., they act like a lovey-dovey lil' couple.
really, is it standard for the assigned pro-partners to act so "romantic" to their assigned "celeb" other half?
because they BOTH act like a giddy high-school couple on screen......
what's the deal here?

You've obviously never watched a Marion Davies movie. She was funny, endearing, and talented. Or, as Orson Welles himself wrote: I rejoice in this opportunity to record something which today is all but forgotten except for those lucky enough to have seen a few of her pictures: Marion Davies was one of the most delightfully accomplished comediennes in the whole history of the screen.
I knew something like this would happen when I heard a palin was on the show. If I were the other dancers, I would refuse to continue. brisket is horrible and has no sense of dignity. Money hungry grifter ho like her mother. DWTS has no more credibility.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Carrie Ann Inaba's comments prior to the presentation of the last two couples to be up for elimination. She said how much she respected the professionals all these years (said it more than once) then said, "let it go, you have to let it go."
ReplyDeleteI thought that would be strange in normal circumstances but in this scenario, I felt like the whole of DWTS had sold their soul to the devil; to what end, only they can guess. It was such a sad moment.
Then Kurt Warner was eliminated.
It's been said before: the $Palin's destroy all they touch.
"If I were Bristol, I would be embarrassed to face the other dancers; and in knowing I'm not being judged by my own worth, but by that of my mother's."
ReplyDeleteIf you were Bristle, you would presumably have a conscience and a work ethics and a sense of honor. Brisket is a Paylin - they have those removed at birth if any vestiges appear.
Lying, cheating and threatening people. Palin motto.
ReplyDeleteThe way to make a point to the show's producers which would turn things around very quickly is simple: All the remaining pros, with the exception of Mark Ballas of course, should "walk off" the show, along with their stars. The point being made that it doesn't matter how well you perform, the outcome has been predetermined by the radical right. Bottom line: SHOW OVER!!!! Get to the producers' bottom line --- $$$$. The pros and their stars won't suffer at all - they will become the talk of TV because the more outrageous your actions, the more famous and in demand you become. (Think Octomom and the Jet Blue flight attendant)
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, more U.S. troops are getting mortally wounded and killed in Iraq/Afghanistan and with over 1 million Iraqis/Afghanistans killed (many of them WOMEN and CHILDREN), Americans fret about Bristol Palin and DWTS.
ReplyDeleteHow is it this fakey Palin family is so damn important with Americans?
When Sarah & family visits Walter Reed Hospital with all the injured soldiers with their horrific injuries, will be the day anyone should take the woman seriously.
There was a reason I left Wasilla many years ago - and I see it hasn't changed much - only it's gone international. What a sick and dangerous woman Sarah Palin is along with her fanatical fans.
Everything the Palins touch is corrupted and full of lies and bullcrap. ABC, you have no cred, you sold out to the Whore of The North. I will never watch DWTS, and doing a pretty good job of avoiding ALL of ABC. And I will not be taking my family to Disney this next spring.

Love it !! Great nickname for her ! And Thanksgiving is coming up - she'd better be careful. Just waiting for her "pop-up timer" to come out !!

They are treating her like she can't actually compete as a dancer and they have to treat her special."
________________________________________
That is my thought as well. Bristol isn't displaying any serious dance moves. Basically, her feet always stay of the floor, she doesn't bend, and about 1/2 of each performance is her watching her partner while occasionally shaking as her body. Oh, and walking to music. Lots of that as well. Her moves are extremely safe; she should be able to do faster and more extraordinary movements by now. This is what makes it so frustrating to see that she is still on the show. Every week she is in the bottom 2 of contestants, but she is now in the semi-finals because Palinistas keep voting.
Basically, Bristol's partner dances around her or drags her along. Bristol has yet to perform a dance that requires any actual energy.
I don't really care that people are voting for Bristol. I am frustrated that better dancers are going home because some people are circumventing the system.
The pic in the orange dress is excellent, Gryphen. Another week or two, and that bump is going to POP!
I really think that Bristol never intended to be on the air this long. The poor costume designers!!
Everyone on DWTS knows Bristol is pregnant and are giving her gentle treatment because of it. Which is inappropriate in my opinion.
Olivia said...
ReplyDeleteI agree completely with you .
Brisket thought that she would be voted off maybe the 3 or so show, now what's she going to do?
Will she keep dancing until her water brakes on the dance floor??
I think she will have a melt sown, missing her son so much , blah, blah, blah OR her son will suddenly become mysteriously ill and she will have to fly home immediately.
Most likely the later since she has 2 agents now, she will want to appear somewhat stable.
I predict it here first....lol
I just looked at the orange dress pic again. Bristol had a waist at the beginning of the show. It is gone now.
ReplyDeleteShe will be beyond camouflage 2 weeks from now.
SP has used her kid and this dumb show, for her own gain.
ReplyDeleteHer flock has made it a mockery, as usual.
All the dancers who actually do hard work and also see how little BP does along with how awful her routines are must wonder why they wasted their time.
I agree with 1st poster @7:07pm: corporate controlled media who oppose net neutrality and will 'preprogram' what they want you to see or know.
Skynet.
The paylins make a mockery of everything. It must be in their dna; theyre all the same. Fakes frauds liars and too fuckin lazy to work at a thing. Let uncle Rupert pay the bill.
Mark Burnett should feel ashamed. He's obviously a bright guy, if he thinks this is good for his teevee production value, he is wrong.
All dwts hopes for now is more viewers to watch how awful this boring bluntly affected girl is going forward.
Theyre in it for the $$, they dont care how insulted other dancers are.
btw, her ass was so big on Ellen I wondered if something was wrong with the new tv.
I hope she wins; since anything paylins touch turns to shit, maybe this show will cease and desist, you know like SP warned THE FED. ROFLMAO.
I agree, BP should hit iceskating stars, since shes so outdoorsy AK, n all.
LOL.
The couple off tonight was on Leno; the woman waved her hand up/down in front of her to indicate 'cant say a thing'.
Theyve all been sworn to secrecy for some fucking reason; what professional person is willing to do that, again.
Cant believe how many bots are here 'splaining how its ok to buy $5 cell phones and cheat the vote.
"7:17pm
The answer is clear."
No, its not; clear is voting for someone who can, well, DANCE. Not someone who was spawned by an attention ho; if it were that it would be named 'call in vote for your favorite no-talent attention whore'.
maybe the paylins are the horsemen of the apo-collapse, since they ruin tarnish devalue everything they come near.
what a bunch of oxygen sucking freaks.
I never watched any of this but i can say her and her whole fam damily could't buck a fussred. Everyone waisting so much time on this is just sick.
ReplyDeleteBristol loses in the end. I read a comment yesterday from someone who was asking if anyone knew where she could get some help for "compulsively reading any article @Sarah Palin".lol I so indentify with that. I need Sarah Palin Anonymous!!! Good Greif, I am seriously considering going cold turkey.
ReplyDelete"I read that 5'5 Bristol weighs 120 lbs."
ReplyDeleteAnyone who looks at her can see that's utter nonsense. She is as big as Marie Osmond was at the beginning of her DWTS and now after Nutrisystem or whatever, Marie says she lost 50 pounds, so at her biggest, Marie must have been more than 160.
I'm a long-time fan of DWTS so I was not too pleased with the Palins crashed it. The problem this season is not with the heavy votes for Bristol - that's just part of the show. In other season performers who were judged less worthy stuck around for an extra week or two thanks to a heavy fan base - sometimes soap watchers, or whatever.
ReplyDeleteBut when that has happened before the judges get a grip and critique and score the less worthy contestant more fairly in relation to the better contestants. That hasn't happened with Bristol.
Sure, she has been at the bottom of scores but not with a sizeable gap. And without any or much gap, in the complicated scoring equation, the judges scores become nearly irrelevant. The only thing significant about the scoring is the spread. If there is not a significant spread they do not have a significant impact on the results.
The judges have been letting Bristol slide. They have been inflating her scores to keep her up with the pack and thereby leaving it up to the fans.
I have NEVER seen them give such soft critiques and inflated scores week after week to a dancer that can't keep up and forgets steps. Nobody on the show has ever forgotten steps week after week like she has because they get voted off.
I could live with the Palinbots voting her through each week, because that is part of the show, if the judges would judge her straight, call her out for her missed steps, lack of timing, no musicality, refusing to extend her legs, general sluggishness and lack of effort. ANYONE else would have been REAMED for this weeks and weeks ago. Come on!
I read all of the DWTS fan sites which are full of apolitical fans who are flabbergasted that the judges are being so soft on her.
Last week was quite illustrative when they replayed Kelly Osbourne's waltz before Bristol danced to the same music. Kelly did that dance in her FIRST week and she was light years better than Bristol dancing in her SEVENTH week.
It is ridiculous!
I don't know why people are surprised at this. It's just a dumb teevee show. The most amazing thing is that people think her dumb as a stump mother would be a good president. Now that's nuts!
ReplyDeleteOhiovoter
If you go to Bristol FB page, her fans explain how to set up multiple email accounts in order to vote dishonestly for Bristol. Anyone who thought this was a sincere dance contest, not just some silly entertainment is really gullible.
ReplyDeletePutting aside their in/s/ane devotion to Sarah Palin, what kind of pathetic people have TIME to vote 150 times, by various means, for DWTS?! I can think of so many better ways to spend my energy and life.
ReplyDeletedsmyre,
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it!
Ohiovoter
Your last line sums it up nicely. I has nothing at all to do with rewarding the hardest work, the best job or the most effort. It has everything to do with "fixing" the result, by hook or by crook.
ReplyDeleteSorry Gryphen, if you are going to publish all the bot garbage, I don't want to read it.
ReplyDeleteI watched dancing this season because of Jennifer Gray and truly thought Bripshy would be voted off early. The judges called others on the same mistakes that B was passed on.
When you vote on line you are limited to the number of votes. It should be that way elsewhere.
We have heard before about the same email, phone number, being used over and over to harrass others and pad polls.
If B wins it will certainly be an insult to honesty. Period.
She certainly looks pregnant. Some say fat. I don't think so. The devils are dancing on the streets over her.
Please, if you want to keep publishing the bots messages, I will not read you anymore.
I agree with 10:00 pm and 10:08 pm.
ReplyDeleteThe most disgusting thing, I think, is the lack of integrity in the judging. I can see how the voting can be manipulated (typical for Palin. not surprising that she collects fans with the same thinness of character), but the judging should be above that. They were awful to several contestants over truly minor things, while gushing over Bristol for mediocre performances. She might be the only non celebrity, but she was NOT the only non dancer.
DWTS has lost its shine for sure. I don't watch and I suggest everyone else do the same. And no way will I waste my time with Palin's fake show.
People forget that Bristol has been a minor celebrity in Wasilla first then Alaska for about 10 years. And nationally for the past two years. She is not fresh or raw or vulnerable. She just plays that on TV. We are being force fed more crap.
ReplyDeleteFrom Page Six this morning:
ReplyDeleteRumors about a budding romance between Bristol Palin and her "Dancing With the Stars" partner Mark Ballas just won't go away. A source on set of the ABC show said, "They looked very close, flirty and cuddly when the cameras weren't on them." Both recently denied a relationship, with single mother Bristol telling Ellen DeGeneres, "It's really hard for me to want to date after the situation I had myself in. I'm not worried about a boyfriend right now." Palin's agent and a rep for the show didn't get back to us.

Karaoke (and DWTS is karaoke) is amateurs trying to do what they cannot. "Winning" is rarely about talent. Remember how far William Hung went on Idol? Bristol has appeal to enough of the audience to stay in, even tho she dances as badly as Hung sang.
ReplyDeleteI have watched the show on and off, and like American Idol, there have been times when the audience caused people to stay that probably shouldn't have, but you could still make a plausible argument. This season there is no plausible way for Bristol to stay. This blog had a funny take on it...http://twiwt.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteI really think after this fiasco that DWTS should have us vote for who we DO NOT like, instead of the way it is now. If this was done Bristol would have been gone the first or second week, and the C4Peer's wouldn't have been able to cheat.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to show pictures of Bristol from week 1 through week 8 (or is it 9?). She appears to have gained a lot of weight. Her face, her arms, and her mid-section are growing by the minute.
ReplyDeleteWhat bothers me is her mid-section. The gaining of weight in that area by one so young can lead to heart disease.
It is sad that she is still on the show; those that vote for her for her mommy's sake no nothing of sportsmanship. The only effort Bristol seems to be putting in is lifting the fork to her mouth.
My mom, a dancer, says basically what Bristol has been doing all along is walking in her routines, with Mark doing most of the actually moves around her. Bristol, dear, if you're reading this, and feeling like you deserve a pat on the back for getting this far, allow me to enlighten you and Mark (although HE most likely knows the truth)...your voters, in the name of politics, are taking away from other entertainers on the show who've paid their dues. If that makes you feel especially powerful, then you are unfortunately your mother's daughter. No, that's not a compliment.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it's hard not to feel a little sorry for Bristol, though I get it that she isn't considered to be very nice by many who know her. She is completely clueless and it amazes me. When she finally wakes up and understands her mother is an intensely negative lightening rod rather than being a positive public figure, I think it's going to be very painful for her. These people tend to live in a bubble, though. Just look at GW.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that there are Palin supporters who feel the need to comment here on Bristol's behalf. I suspect Gryphen gets all kinds of outrageous and abusive messages that he doesn't let through, but these posts that sound so hopelessly naive are strange. It's possible they are not as partisan-motivated as much as being relatively neutral takes on Bristol, if one didn't know the terrible back story of her family. Meaning, some people watching that show and following Sarah Palin in the media don't know all that we know. And they are getting drawn in and duped. It's scary.
The Palins can collect supporters by manipulating their public image, as Sarah is doing so relentlessly right now, the recent difficulties with the GOP notwithstanding.
Someone has to come forward to put the brakes on all of this. I don't know how many times people have to plead with those who know things. Things are getting worse and worse in this regard, and there needs to be a correction, soon, or Sarah Palin is going to will a comeback of sorts. It's like nothing will stop her. As she told Bristol, "Just take over and dominate". No more revealing words have ever come out of that woman's mouth.
anonymous @ 7:15, you're statement was so ignorant of what is going on behind the scenes with the voting for dwts, that you actually drove me to mordor to retrieve this essay which tells you all you need to know about the organized campaign to keep bristol on the show, and the agenda - however demented - behind it. scowling bristol is not endearing. her favor-ability numbers are probably only a little above her mother's because of her hypocritical "activism" and her trashy tabloid existence ((which by the way is a very profitable one for her).
ReplyDeletethis insane essay could have used a good editor. i would have edited the entire thing, but it gives you an idea of why someone consistently at the bottom of the leader board keeps her place on a show where everyone is worlds more talented and hard-working than she is. i would scrub my computer if i were you after being on this site. norton says it is safe, but there must be a reason for such widespread depravity.
http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2010/09/five-reasons-bristol-palins-dancing.html
gryph, this essay reads like comedy, if you haven't given it a look already.
did anyone notice at the end when everyone was hugging each other that Bristol was just standing there alone? She went over to hug the guy who lost and everyone ignored her. They're probably all pretty pee'd off.
ReplyDeleteHer admission that she 'needs the words' to learn the dance tells you she's not interested in learning. At this stage about 3 months in - she hasn't learned, hasn't listened, doesn't care and just remains a fat cow on the floor for $$ just like her mentally challenged Pimpass mother. It's not words you use to learn dance steps.
ReplyDeleteThe screw up in the Insta-dance - the professional dancer always says it's them that screwed up but we know better. Mark's paid to take the fall for the screw up.
The show is just programming to fill airtime so sponsors can buy commercials to those glassy-eyed viewers who are engrossed by the drama, heart-warming back stories, or yes, even controversy. The fact that the contestants are forbid from discussing one another is quite telling. It's certainly not a talent contest, nor is it a measure of hard work expended, dedication to self-improvement. In fact, it's the perfect venue for someone with all fluff and no stuff. Sarah is a phenomenon bc she's one of the first attention whores to leverage the new, emerging social media. She's been winging it, obviously, as is evident with all her media gaffes. If you really think about it, this DWTS medley with the underperforming competitor being exalted for all the wrong reasons within her venue. SP's (in)ability as a(n) "politician, actor, author, political analyst, economic analyst (snicker--I'm sorry), mother... I'm omitting many of SP's "features", but u get the drift I'm sure. They are both celebrities who have been rewarded for their mediocre performances within their respective arenas. Neither of them has a clue about just how ridiculed they are by most people that don't really give a damn about the implications of propping up these 2 sad cases of narcissistic loons. I get the feeling that BP is a little more self-conscious, but SP is oblivious to the big picture. She's really insecure about her image but not willing to work on her deficiencies to improve her skill set. Think about it--- SP didn't want to do the "homework" to prep for interviews, debates, etc. She wanted to wing it and just go rogue, and has been revealed as the lazy, opportunistic fool that many of us recognized when she first hit the national stage. Most Alaskans, bless their hearts, had her pegged way before us. In fact, knowing me to be a close political observer, my family members who live in AK prompted me to "watch for this trainwreck miniseries" when she got the GOP vp nomination. It was funny for a while, but when the queen of destruction actually becomes an influence in our governing body, not on the inside playing by the rules, but playing by her own and being encouraged by: 1) those naive to her lack of character, intellect, etc...; 2) others who have no skin in the game but love the novelty bc they're living thru her reality-show life; and 3) those who will use her as shill to be the mouthpiece for their message... Just like Hannity, Beck, Rush, and others who influence the game from their microphone, not bc of any special insight or abilities. It's about power and influence, and these shills are just tools for the men behind the curtain. SP will allow herself to be exploited, or "whored out", because that's the best she can do. She's long been a joke among the serious politicos, but some die-hard ideological GOPers didn't "get it" when they were giving a wink and a nod to their hysterical firebrand from the last frontier. It's time for her to leave the stage now to remove this distraction from all but her Facebook worshipers where she can spend her time chasing rumors to deny or whine about folks who can actually identify the village idiot and choose to ignore her. Sorry to drift O/T but the 2 Palin media stars have worn out their welcome in my world. Time for them to go back to the valley.

I don't watch TV as a rule but watched DWTS to see B. Palin's performances, which proved more than ever that spectacle-trumps-reality, much like Roman bread and circuses, and the numbing mindlessness of TV itself, combined with the corporatist-greed dynamic behind ALL TV programming, is damaging our entire society.
ReplyDeleteSee Marshall McLuhan's work on media played out in the dumbing down of the US. And we can't say we weren't forewarned (see Orwell, Huxley et al.) that truth and dignity would be sacrificed on the altar of narcissim and avarice.
No wonder our nation continues its downward slide in worldwide meaures of education, longevity, infant mortality, etc.
The judges on DTWS are no more than servants of the corporatiions. I was trained in ballet and can say with certainty that the judges have been given orders about what they can say re B. Palin. (And it's what they aren't saying that's revealing.)
Corporatism and the cult of personality will eventually wither and die once they have run out of energy supplied by victims, or victims to exploit.
Reality and nature require that achievements be real-that is sustainable and useful ( as in the Zen saying: "You can't eat a painted bun."). Balance and homeostasis are the foundations of survival and longevity--not spectacle, manipulation and the miserly amassing of wealth, fame, and power.
"It looks like Bristol has a pretty big following"
ReplyDeleteIt's called her a$$.

About voting 80 or 130 times not being cheating...think of it this way....
ReplyDeleteYou can watch somebody accidently drop a $100 bill in a parking lot and don't tell them about it and keep it for yourself. This would not be considered stealing. It wouldn't be considered honest, either.
"Just an observation but Bristol gained 300 fb fans in the last 20 minutes"
ReplyDeleteDid anybody else read that as, "Bristol gained 300 lbs in the last 20 mintues"?
Where are all the DWTS stories on the internet this morning??? There's usually a ton of articles splashed all over the place??
ReplyDeleteCould they be embarrassed?? Could they be worried?? Why is it suddenly a DWTS blackout on what happened this week??
Perhaps if the judges said what they REALLY felt about her dance, it might help!! Honestly, are they so afraid of Palin's supporters that they will never be honest in their critique? Have they received death threats after the booing incident? What is going on? I watch this show every season, and if she makes it any further, I will not be any more. I enjoy great dancing, and being forced to watch her step through it each week, with NO skill whatsoever is getting painful.
ReplyDeletejust more evidence that everything the palin's touch turns to shit. this really is a toxic family.
ReplyDeletethat said, the people who put her on here should have seen it coming. maybe they didn't care - maybe the short-term ratings are more important than any long-term credibility.
This comment sums up the DWTS situation:
ReplyDeleteThe Palin's don't ever seem to actually earn any of the things that come their way though, do they? It's always some manipulation that turns them into the lucky winner.
RE: underdog status
I have read and head comments referring to Bristol as the underdog and comments people like to see an underdog win. One comment from a Peebot @DWTS was vitriole then declaring they (people) like to see "a regular person succeed".
The sad to tragic issue is manipulation to be #1 or encourage and enable entitlement to "win" without doing the work, nor earning nor deserving moving self forward or self improvement is a fallacy. It is interesting yet a sad commentary how hostile and aggressive such people are labeling persons like us who know rationally success is by earning, acquiring merit and developing one's potential, being valued for each step as a success labeling us "haters".
Hatred is not wanting the bests for someone, their personal growth, derive the most out of an opportunity, gaining confidence and coming by things honestly.
Even if Bristol "wins" she shall ever know inside she is a fake, fraud and not what people chose to manipulate or bear false witness to.
Sarah, I had hoped for her as a female, the luck she had chosen as VP that she would return to her job, work hard to be as good a gov as she could and learn what she needed to know to effectively compete to fulfill her aspirations.
I think less and less of Bristol for it makes no sense why she would chose to have her child in AK, chose abandonment due to abscence from a toddler (neglect his toddler needs) then the audacity sto play victim. It is irrational for if she missed him she could change that. They have enough money to pay a babysitter in LA. The Palins get what they want (rid of the child) then use that opportunisticly to gain sympathy, when they deserve disgust or recognition of negligent choices only caring about self. It seems if not the victim they don't exist....they manipulate all the attention.
I feel for the toddler. Meanwhile the mother is making her fortune off of him while he experiences the opposite. She learned from her mother to say the right words and delete her actions. The bots only hear the words and do not care about action including poor dance performances.
I and others are not "haters". We do not share beliefs of getting something for nothing, fraud, it's not how you play the game, only if you "win". It is the known behaviors of those who achieve living to deceive self and others and winning at other's expense.No matter how much money such persons gain they actually become more rotten and destructive inside doing more and more immoral things for money and destroy more people. This was not God's intention nor are the ten commandments irrelevant.
The irony is lost on the Bots, followers for they misidentify those who earn and deserve, have achieved success as "elitists" dismissing ethics, work, effort, earning and deserving.
I find it quite pathetic that the Sea of Pee'ers have nothing better to do with their time than make up fake email addresses and use their children's phones to vote.
ReplyDeleteI mean really, come on, honestly folks..........her being kept on the show doesn't mean shit. All it does is prove how ignornat the minions are!
Really, it means nothing! Like someone else posted, in a political election you only get ONE vote LMAO!!!!!!!
There is some cheating and coddling going on. Come on, people, she forgot her dance, on the TV theme week, and was given three sixes. That doesn't fairly reflect her talent or performance. A fair score for that performance would have been a 4 or 5, scores so low she NEVER would have stayed on. She's being treated like a star football player who can't read and still gets passing grades. Sure, she's getting D's but that's still just enough...
ReplyDeleteIt's just funny to see the looks on the other dancers faces, you can just see the thought bubble form:
ReplyDelete"damn! I'm out here eating salads, and working 7 days a week for my triple-lux-samba-spicy-salsa-waltz with-double-backflip-and-whip-cream number,...and I'm going to yet AGAIN have to put up with snotty judges ready to knock 4 points off my score for my big toe in the wrong position, while this white-trash wasilla girl gets to eat McDonalds all day and spends an hour a week practicing how to walk around a dance floor, jus' so the judge can say how radiant her fat ass looks! Why the eff am I here??"
LOL.
This show so unbelievably sucks. I can't believe it's on the air!
I'm glad Brandy's partner argued with the female judge. He should do more than that. He should go over there and slap the byatch.
Wouldn't it be funny if all the contestants except Bristol just took off this week and went to Vegas or something, then came back and did their routines with no practice at all? And then laugh because the voting would be the exactly the same. That would fix the producer's ass. The contestants can say, oh, I guess I forgot my steps, I was busy taking care of my dog this week. Now give me a 7. LOL.
Hollywood is fake. TV is fake.

the Brit judge needs his eyes examined
& definitly favors 'the Palin.' He
couldn't even bring himself to give Jennifer Grey the highest mark. My
fiance watched (he never watches stuff like that) & said the same.
It's like the twilight zone where
real talent is viewed as ho-hum, &
blah is deemed wonderful. It's really true then, everything the Palins'
touch is ruined. And, Anon 7:09 -
the show is about the ability to dance & improve as you go. It's not about Bristol Palin being happy.

Waaaay unflattering pic of Bristol on Gawker! Apparently there are rumors she's having an affair with Mark. Hard to ignore the round belly. The still picture posted on HuffPo from this week had the same roundness...
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys think she'll do with the bebe? Do you think there'll be a Trig 2.0?
This is a quote from an admirer of Palin:
ReplyDelete"Bristol is really a role model for girls everywhere. She is genuine, no drama, healthy and athletic, works hard, no over sexualization. She’s providing a great example of what real women and girls are actually like."
There is no point in trying to reason with individuals who are willfully ignoring reality.
Nice picture of no-waist Bristol.
ReplyDeleteGoing into a lift off a chair means Miss Palin has no ab control. Don't know what she started with, but with all the workouts she should be there by now.
ReplyDeleteThis is sort of like the singing recital Margaret Truman, daughter of the president, did at Carnegie Hall.
This is from an AP story: "Critics generally praised her poise but were less impressed with her vocal talent.
"When Washington Post critic Paul Hume wrote after a 1950 concert that she 'is extremely attractive on the stage ... (but) cannot sing very well. She is flat a good deal of the time,' her father fired off a note on White House stationery scolding Hume for a 'lousy review.'
" 'I have never met you, but if I do you'll need a new nose and plenty of beefsteak and perhaps a supporter below,' the president wrote.
Somehow I don't think Bristol has that much parental support.
I am sure that most of you know that it is possible for DWTS to limit the call in votes to one per number. That is a fact and most call in type contests use that function to keep the "contest" honest. Same thing with voting on-line with computer votings. So, DWTS has proven that they don't give a damn about honesty any more than that thieving Palin gang.
ReplyDeleteI feel sad for all of the dancers who have been betrayed by DWTS and grifters Palin. I wonder that Bristol has no self respect or at least enough to feel shame that she knows she has no talent and that the whole thing is a facade if not a money laundering scheme perpetrated by the forked tongued idiot from Alaska AKA Ma Grizzly!
Step down Bristol and show the world that at least one Palin has a shred of morals and decency.
It is NOT Bristol's popularity that is bringing in the votes, but Sarah-bots with too much time on their hands who cannot think of anything constructive to do with their free time than stuff the votes for the daughter of their hero, she-who-speaks-for-gawwd Sarahtoxin. They are NOT voting for Bristol but for her Grizzled Mama . These are the same flakey assholes who would think nothing of stuffing ballot boxes, rigging voting machines and intimidating voters with Drop Zone types of goons.
I hope this fiasco gets the show thrown off the air or appropriately renamed, "Buy Your Fat Dumbass Clumsy Kid a Dancing Reputation or Title." or "The Fake Dancing, Popularity Show" all judges and their outrageous flattery for the obviously untalented bought and paid for by the highest bidder.
Poor Mark, your credibility as a dance instructor is down the toilet, along with your spine.
Hope granny grifter paid you enough to once again prove to the world the truth of the old saying, "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
Please stop begging the people who could take Sarah down to come out, they are not going to. They will sit by on their sorry asses and watch the Skreech from hell awaken every nutcase, misfit and ignorant racist bigot to crawl out of their slime pits and from under their piles of toxic waste to destroy scientific and educational institution, burn libraries, control every aspect of your life under the guise of smaller government, freedom and the constitution. Then those very same people who could have stopped the monster will be screaming the loudest for SOMEONE ELSE to get rid of her and her regime. Those people are the real cowards who will hide in their little cubby holes and pretend they are safe while the whole world crumbles around them.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, are they so afraid of Palin's supporters that they will never be honest in their critique?
ReplyDelete--
Somehow I doubt very much that the judges care about who each stars' voters are. How is she toxic when she cannot control how many people or who votes for her? You cannot control who is drawn to you. You can certainly turn people off but there's a reason people like Bristol. She doesn't complain or bullshit on camera. She remains "raw" to use her word. Obviously Sarah's fans are voting for her, but im not shocked Bristol has gained a fanbase. The organizations she has spoken at really have rallied behind her. This is a girl who garnered 11500 facebook fans in one month
Paris Hilton: "It's hot"
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin: "It sucks"
Wow!
It is merely a teevee show and all that. It also brings out an ugly part of our culture. The real shame is how entertainment can be used by politicians. We are to believe this is about Bristol's independence, work ethic and as a single mom on her own. Sarah once said that DWTS wanted Todd, she now has another version. It was in that speech CNN showed of the Christian School in Pa. Sarah hit her best talking points again. The military and Bristol, Mama Grizzly cred. This time there was no Todd in the DWTS Bristol get together. We know Bristol was swept out of the last proof of her independence production, the condo in Anchorage. She was returned home to Mommie Dearest and couldn't go back to a place in Alaska so easy. Whatever DWTS was offering it worked out for Ivy Frye to guard and baby sit along with another political operative and Bristol could start another make over in LA.
ReplyDeleteLife is not a popularity contest for most unwed mother's. If this show was Dancing with Cheating Popularity Show Contestants, fine, let the Tea Party robo call, fudge and yes, cheat if that is the standard for America. Don't pretend it is about dancing with the stars or dancing.
What is going on with Bristol quitting on unwed teens but she is still billed as an activist? They are rebranding and re-eventing her public persona. That is all it takes to quit on unwed teens? Some care she has for them. She barred her friends for the last show from being in the audience because they might rub off on the new Bristol. WOW! People will no doubt praise what a wonderful quitter she is. This new image of Bristol is to important to keep the unwed teens she used before around. THAT IS THE NEW BRAND PEOPLE WANT TO BUY INTO?
How did you like Sarah's line about Track on CNN in the Christian School speech? I actually saw a TLC promo and Track can smile. For at least half a second. When his debut as a reality show star comes out they may show more smiles. The free sneak premieres are starting in 8 cities tonight.
They may take Bristol out of her DWTS agony after the Sarah Palin's Alaska! show begins. They are merely teevee shows and major propaganda productions for a politician that is billed as a King Maker and might run for a high office.
I agree with several of the posters who suggested that the other contestants should just walk off the set next time, or take a vacation this week and go w/o preparation to the next performance. By now, they all know that the show is rigged, and no matter WHAT they do, they will not win.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, what keeps them from doing it - if there is some clause in their contract that says they would lose $$$ if they did said things? Also wonder, what would happen if they all together would call a press conference and talk about Bri$tol and talk about how the show is rigged...
Can somebody tell me what it said on Toad's and Brisket's t-shirts when they showed the "practice" clip from the dance studio on Monday night?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these dum-dums understand that voting 130 times only works on fake reality shows. And, no I would not be surprised if there's robo calls set up to make Bristol win. That's what unethical people do.
ReplyDeleteDear sweet Jesus. Just back from haraSmaeT and they are convinced that if Bristle "wins" on DWTS that Quittypants will be the next POTUS.
ReplyDeleteThis is a desperately twisted understanding of an article by Peggy Noonan; anyhow one of the posters is advising readers to go to convenience stores and payphones to call in votes. Oh, my.. the stupid, it burns..
4:21 I really think after this fiasco that DWTS should have us vote for who we DO NOT like...
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY agree with you. We should be allowed to vote OFF the the dancer we like the least. :-)
Well I don't think she will make it to the end of the show...not because the Bots won't support her - but - because it's about time that either BP or Mark will have an ever so slight mishap - nothing serious, just a little sprain here or a little strain there, a bruise in/on a strategic spot...sciatica should be setting in soon and that's no fun for dancing (that's no fun for sitting, standing, reclining either)I can see it from my house...
ReplyDelete** How is she toxic when she cannot control how many people or who votes for her? **
ReplyDeleteBristol is allowing a toxic propaganda machine to manipulate her brand and influence others. Many of these people may be under the effects of poor nutrition, like Bristol. It is nothing to take lightly. The dumbing down of American schools has been in the works for years. If I wanted easily programed robots I would definitely support Sarah Palin's position regarding children, diet and school. Bristol is a product of dumbing down and a bad diet. As an adult she is responsible for continuing to allow herself to remain attached. Her family was raised by a farming community and they allege to hunt all their own meat. They should all be about eating healthy. What happened?
Remember McCain's staff suggested a nutritionist for Sarah Palin in the 2008 run.
Bristol's diet is toxic and she is what she eats. Her mother's Tea Baggers, AIP and SarahPac work to control the votes for Bristol. One way she participates and becomes toxic is to allow it to continue. You can blame her lack of education and bad nutrition, at her age it is up to her to do something about that. Bristol only rehearses 4 to 5 hours for DWTS. Compare that to the 8 hours or more by the other contestants. Bristol is at the core lazy.
This woman looks benign and like everyones dear Granny. She is the face of Bristol's Tea Baggers. Behind this sweet little old lady is a monster. When Ivy Frye is further investigated more will come out. (church, home schooling)
It is a mistake to underestimate what is going on here and how it is a toxic Bristol that is participating in the charades.
This is the revolution to be part of! Not the political astroturf tea party revolution. Photo shoot for a subtle Tea Party promotion by a political entity on a bad diet: CLICK TO ENLARGE Note this is being passed on to another generation that already looks lost in sugar and parental neglect.
`Pistol' Palin Waltzes Through Dance Contest Aided by Tea Party
This is huge to those who do care about our nations youth. There are still people who care about good television programing, honorable contests, positive role models, good diets and schools for children.
6:08am:
ReplyDelete"truth and dignity would be sacrificed on the altar of narcissim and avarice."
EXACTLY.
Grifters always say what they do is "hard work".
you know, toddy...all the 'productive' stuff n all.
wow, that gawker pic, she looks very stuffed in spanxy-wrap!...her arms/pits bulge and her boobs do not. She looks like at least two layers of 'plastic wrap'.
Guess poor Mark is paid to CONSTANTLY reassure this twat.
wow, her head is as big as her butt.
I haven't watched this show since the finale of the first season when John O'Hurley was robbed of his win. It doesn't surprise me in the least that the fix is in.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 7:15.
ReplyDeleteThen this show is not about talent but about popularity.
It isn't about who dances the best. It isn't even about who has improved the most.
It is simply about who is most popular.
In which case why bother with dancing? (Or singing or wearing a bathingsuit?)
Why even bother to do a show at all? Just post their picture somewhere and let the voting begin.
And yes, it is certainly about politics. If Bristol were not the daughter of the ex-governor of Alaska and failed VP candidate she would not be on this show. She wouldn't be on the cover of rag magazines or the spokesperson for Candies' abstinence program.
Ya know...when you refer to YOURSELF as "fresh" and "vulnerable"...that's a good sign that....you're NOT.
ReplyDeletemlaiuppa,
ReplyDeleteDWTS is about the stars (or children of the famous people) mother/father's popularity. Bristol is demonstrating it is not about the popularity of the actual participants. Joel Grey doesn't have a political machine behind him and that puts Jennifer at a disadvantage no matter how hard she works to overcome her physical pain. That is what makes this so sad. That and all the people who like this sick show as it is now being exposed.
I don't care if Bristol is the winner or not b/c the fix is in. They can change the fix but the degree of this hoax is a turn off to even care about who they rigged to win or not. I do think an accomplished dancer will win in the end.
ReplyDeleteIt should be enough for the Tea Party that Bristol's fix let her go this far. If she doesn't win they can make it the fault of lame stream media and parlay a Bristol as a victim show.
Not everyone is so lackadaisical about Sarah's latest holy war. Palin's American exceptionalism. There are those that take it very serious how the Tea Party and secessionists are treating children. They want a revolution, sedition, and to be the only government for the total control of all our children. Others may be interested in a war with Iran.
ReplyDeleteI am appalled if Bristol actually shunned the other unwed teens for her new image using DWTS. Especially since she used the unwed teen program to start this Hollywood career re-branding. She is as disgusting of a quitter as her mother. And why did Track quit?
It will be interesting to see Track Palin take his place in the reality show celebrity line up. I noticed that in the speech to the Christian school Sarah slighted Track and the focus was on Bristol. Sarah was expressive about her take on the military. It is just Track that is not worth saying too much about. Why is that? Sarah really needs to address more about the military than how perfect it is to her and her respect for Dennis Prager. She is shirking the painful issues we all must face when she doesn't address what happens to our soldiers. The homelessness, drug addiction, PTDS, over zealous and deceptive recruiting and so much more.
reaction to Palin's American exceptionalism cookie speech -TRANSCRIPT
SPITZER: All right. I think at this very moment there she is. Sarah Palin, going to the podium at Plumstead Christian School in Pennsylvania.
Let's take a listen to Ms. Sarah Palin, former governor, Sarah Palin.
MILLER: When she talks about military service and can point to her own child who's served in the military, less than one percent of the population serves in the military. Yet we've got, you know, we're spending $150 billion with 100,000 troops chasing 30 members of Al Qaeda according to the CIA.
Sarah: "And Bristol is a story of God being able to turn mourning into dancing."
Sarah: "Piper, my little one, she was listening to a conversation I was having with Bristol about how difficult some of these steps are." (Trig is not her little one)
Sarah: "Our young men and women, my teenage son, he was one of them. He spent his year in Iraq and he's furthering his career now."
Why doesn't she address why Track didn't complete his career in the military?
Each speech where Sarah Palin slights or neglects being more open about Track Palin is a red flag that something is very wrong. It is important to get answers since she uses the military and her son for her political appeal. It is also notable that she slights Jeremy Morlock and his family. I will say that Bristol has made an effort to include Jeremy's sister, April Morlock, and that is admirable. However, she, too, could be more open and human about it.
The military may feed soldiers better than Sarah would have for our schools but the military is also one of the biggest suppliers of drugs. All legal, similar to how Michael Jackson doctors did it. How right or ethical is that? Should it continue? Drug addicted soldiers come back into society and can be a threat to the populations well being. The military needs to wake up and take more responsibility for the madness. People like Sarah Palin are only causing more harm and destruction to America's heart and soul. Her lies of omission are as dangerous as the blatant lies. Both sugar and drugs are addictive and the destruction they cause must be faced.
THe Butterball Baby belly Watch! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNotice how Marc is no longer constantly fawning all over the Butterball?
Notice how he had to turn away from the camera as if rolfing when it was anounced that Butterball would be moving on?
Butterball of course grinned smuggly at the announcement. SHe was loving it.
I hope Marc did not injure himself heftying the horse in air. Or maybe he will have to withdraw because he did injure himself. What will Butterball do then?
Bristol On the Bob & Mark Show Nov. 9, 2010-
ReplyDeleteBristol complained that DWTS judges already know what they are going to say and how they will vote before they even watch the dancers perform.
This was followed by "It sucks!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwOJJRr--gg
I wonder if it might be a violation of her contract to accuse the judges of such a thing - If so, maybe she will forfeit all of her earnings! A peezoo cult member posted the above clip - bwaaahahahaha!
Okay. Got this off Huffington Post.
ReplyDelete"Competing in Monday's semifinal round will be actors Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey, singer-actress Brandy and Bristol Palin."
Notice the qualifiers? Jennifer and Kyle are actors. Brandy is a singer-actress.
And Bristol is.....?
Bristol On the Bob & Mark Show Nov. 9, 2010-
ReplyDeleteBristol complaining that she never performed in front of people. I thought she played basketball in Wasilla in front of people? I thought she was a spokeperson for Candies? I thought she was on a tv show, remember YoYo Ma?
STOP COMPLAINING BUTTERBALL!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwOJJRr--gg
Bristol is a teen activist that acted to ban her peers from being in the audience as she danced. You can't accuse her of not acting as an activist. She dominated and kept other single mothers out of her image make over. Do they allow her to have any qualifiers now? She is just Bristol Palin blank? They got that right.
