So do we buy Bristol's explanation for why she is the only one NOT losing weight on DWTS?

From Digital Spy:

The 19-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin has been rehearsing daily with professional partner Mark Ballas for the 11th season of the ABC competition, which continues tonight.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, she joked: "I haven't really noticed a change in [my body]. I think most people lose weight because they are too stressed out to eat and I haven't had that problem!"

Does THAT make any sense?  Here is a young woman on national television who is surrounded by super fit and attractive women, some who are both substantially older AND more fit than she is, and she does not even TRY to modify her eating habits?  It is not like Bristol has been overweight her entire life, like Kelly Osbourne was or anything. And didn't Osbourne lose quite a lot of weight during her time with the program?

Look putting all of my cards on the table I have heard way TOO many sources tell me this young woman was pregnant to think otherwise. My only question is whether or not she is STILL pregnant?  And if she is, how in the hell did she get on the show?

And if she DOES still have a bun in the oven, that would also go a long way to explain this statement:

The teenager was also asked if she had been receiving any extra attention from men following her success on the dancefloor, to which she replied: "No! And I'm too busy to do anything like that right now. No interest!"

Hmm no interest in men, and wants to eat all of the time.  Well since she is not Rosie O'Donnell I am guessing that "Bristol the Pistol" might still have one in the chamber. If you know what I mean.

(That was just a joke Rosie, you know I'm a fan.)

    I have worked dancing in theme park shows (don't laugh). The rehearsal is long and intense and then you do about 5 or six shows a day. This is probably less than what she is having to do on DWTS. All I know is that when I danced, I could eat anything in sight and not even manage to gain weight. I would still lose weight. So no, I do not buy this crap.

    Either she is not really dancing very much in rehearsal, or she is eating like a pig. Y'all know I was skeptical about this pregnancy rumor, but take a look at the difference in Margaret Cho after a few weeks...it is stunning. Bristol seems to be getting bigger. Isn't she embarrassed that Jennifer Grey (age 50)and Florence Henderson (age 76)have better bodies?

    I recommend the pictures on x17online.com...they have lots of Bristol photo galleries. In every one of them, she is wearing tons of clothes, clutching hoodies and jackets over her belly, and looks chunkier week to week. Notice too, Ivy Frye is in some of them, guess she goes to rehearsals every day w Bristol.

    I say we all step it up, and vote to keep Bristol on just for "bump watch" entertainment. She was in the bottom two last night...she may be plotting her escape, we can't let her.

  3. Bristol's excuse is BS. One would expect a person who went from a desk job to dancing 6-8 hours a day to lose weight. Even with the increased appetite due to increased exercise.

    I'm not really sure if Bristol is pregnant or not - leaning towards not - but I can't help but think of Jennifer Grey saying her thyroid cancer was discovered when she had her physical for DWTS a YEAR ago. (Unless she was originally supposed to go on last season) A lot can happen in a year... I also haven't seen anything in Bristol's lethargic performances that have seemed too risky or strenuous for someone who is pregnant. And the "conservative" costumes... yes, that argument can be made for sure. I'm hoping next week will be her last on the show since she was the second lowest this week. However, I'm sure there is plenty of time for Mama Grizzly's minions to "fix" things.

    Nothing Bristol Palin does or says makes any sense unless you realize it is all about making money.

    She's fat and loving the attention her tummy evokes.

    Can't wait for the next "oh, I'm engaged" magazine cover followed by the quickie un-engagement. Bristol will probably be able to make $40-50,000 at her little game before she can't even sucker the tabloids anymore.

    Bristol's career is grifting and she'll be at it long after Sarah Palin has vanished from the national scene.

    I know an awful lot of hillbilly pro life types who think they might be pregnant and go horseback riding or do some other body jarring activity in hopes that God will take care of it. At one time,I thought that of Sarah too with the risks she took during the "pregnancy" with Trig except there is too much evidence that she wasn't pregnant with Trig.
    Maybe Bristol thinks she can dance her problems away.

    For what it is worth, here is my opinion: Bristol has gained weight in the areas that pregnant women do, however if we go by her first baby bump sighting, she should be well into her third trimester and even larger. Plus I cannot imagine why she would be allowed to compete on DWTS if she was pregnant. There is no way she could hide a pregnancy in that atomsphere. Surrounded by gossip columnists in a non-friendly so called "elitist" city that cannot be bullied in to silence, it would be too risky for the brand, and as insane as Sarah is, she does protect the brand at all costs. I think the most likely explanation was that Bristol was pregnant, attempted to get back with Levi to explain it a way and was hit full on by Sarah the bus who arranged for a late term "wite out" solution. Bristol is now eating like a pig to deal with the fall out and fear of her secret being discovered. Which is why, even though I have found much of her behavior reprehensible, I do feel sorry for her. She was raised by a wolves, given no coping skills and truly sees going along with Sarah as her only chance of survival. I do not give her a free pass, she will most likely raise Tripp and her other children the same way and she is an adult and responsible for her choices, but as a Mom to an 18 year old girl (bristol's opposite) I feel for what she is going through, I just wish she wasn't putting us all through it as well.

    hmmm, I don't know. depending on if she's on birth control orhow much aerobic activity she gets, shes just may not be losing yet. it's only been a month. My denial of a pregnancy is her last speech in Visalia, where she was photographed looking slim (prob heavily spanxed but incredibly slim indeed

    Question: Because Bristol has been pudgy since Mayish and because she's ben pregnant before, thats good enough reason for the Alaskan public to believe she is pregnant, because people are that stupid.

    Under what circumstances do your sources believe she is pregnant? DId they see her walking into an OBs office, see her chowing down on some pickles and ice cream? Thats the questions. I've had people think I'm pregnant on the train and give me their seat, all because I have a similar pouch as Bristol.

    I chalk her weight up to metabolism. Her and Sarah would never have an abortion and Bristol wouldn't go on the record at the beginning saying she's excited about losing weight. So when she doesn't automatically lose weight, she says why she may not be.

    Because she's probably not used to this kind of aerobic activity, it's hard to develop appropriate eating habits - where carbs are the best.
    We know she hikes a lot and enjoys the outdoors and camps a great deal. Maybe it's because her body is used to the activity and is also adjusting to medication/birth control.

    Bristol is not currently with child. She may have been when she announced her re-engagement to Levi, but has since done something about it or something might have happened. She is just lazy. Look at her performances. She does not go one step further than she absolutely has to, to get the job done. She does not try very hard AT ALL. She is likely over eating because she is STRESSED about what she is being forced to do by her mother. I am sure she works really hard to NOT break a sweat during rehersals. I thought she was going cry on camera last night. I think Bristol has a learning disorder, BTW. She is very spacey and checked out.

    Again pointing out how it is odd she does this show if she is expecting. I hope it's not in the same possibility of Ms Palin's wild flight. If she were actually pregnant(I know, I know) then she would have put the child at great risk and then.perhaps, not had to deal with an abortion nor a special needs child. Forcing a miscarriage would keep Bristol's name in the clear with all those groups she's fleecing right now.

    even if she didn't change her eating habits she should at least be toning or losing a little weight with the extra workouts...i don't know what to think, time will tell i guess. I still don't thing the show would want her on if she was pregnant.

    I'm telling you, it's the certifiable trait in the Palin's that make them pull jaw-dropping antics.

    I said yesterday, DWTS in her condition is a big middle finger to us all, they (in the know) are schadenfreude-ing us, punking us and enjoying the discomfort of our confusion.

    Meanwhile, the Palin's and her bots will realize in Hollywood, it isn't about politics and politeness. The paparazzi interest in The Pistol's weight and belly 'situation' is only going to grow hotter and meaner until she gives. They, more than an prosecutor or legislative body, enjoy's calling out hypocrites.

    And for her to complain that her 'public speaking' is an easier venue because she's just speaking from her medium (about herself - which she still does poorly) than dancing because it's 'not who she is.'

    WTF is that supposed to mean? Give me higher points and give me your votes because I'm in over my head? Feel bad for me because I'm out of my comfort zone and I'm an undereducated-but-hard-working-struggling-single-parent-daughter-of-a-multi-millionaire hate-monger-whose-prayer-warriors-miraculously-restored-my-hyman-instead-of-fixed-the-economy?

    Sounds exactly like a Palin woman, knowingly going after things that are so above their pay grade but still expecting to be rewarded for it.

    That's their message, you don't have to work hard or put effort into things, you are exceptional just the way you are so don't even try to bone up on foreign policy, acting, speechifying, dancing, or leading - it'll all just fall into your lap if you have conservative pro-life family values.

    She got on the show because having her on would create ratings, and obviously she didn't tell them she was knocked up. When she gets too big, she can always announce her pregnancy and leave the show.

    This will also allow her to play the victim card big time - poor Bristol tried to reconcile with the father of her child, but he turned out to be the same old jerk as before, but she trusted him and accidently ended up pregnant. Now she will be the single mom of TWO babies, working two jobs, struggling to make ends meet while raising her children alone out in the wilderness of Alaska with no cell phone and no one to protect her.

    Bristol's not plotting an escape. She was genuinely bummed after Monday's show and she's pretty energetic with her FB posts and crap like that. Who knows what's going on. In all her rehearsal clips, she's not moving really. Though at times she seems to be adapting to the dance, she's still a fish out of water.

    If we were talking about any other woman, we'd agree with you. But snarky and superficial Sarah and her equally mean daughter Bristol are notoriously judgemental about other girls and women's bodies.

    They make fat jokes the same way they make sexist, racist and Valley Trash jokes.

    Remember (not that this says much given the state) but Bristol was a honor roll student

    Don't mistake laziness with being a non-dancer who doesnt take to it as easily as others

    Also, Bristol's held a job since she was 14/15 and had regular chores. Remember the myspace comment "my dad would pay us to paint..."

    Because she's obviously insecure about her weight, I don't find the sweatshirts etc weird. Derek wears a hoodie almost everyday and Mark usually wears his "homeless" hat

    When I was 17, I went to a 5-week dance intensive (governor's school for the arts). We had dance class all day long and rehearsal in the evening. I was already 5 foot 8, 120 when I got there--not exactly fat--but at the end of the 5 weeks, I weighed 103. I ate whatever I wanted.

    You don't need to post this, Gryphen, but as a big fan and daily reader, I think it does your blog a disservice to talk about weight issues with young girls. Of course, I hope Ms. Abstinence is pregnant for the sheer joy it will bring.

    Young women have so many body issues that discussing Bristol as fat or gaining weight just makes normal girls feel awful about themselves. Yes, she has put on weight, but think of the girls who are her size naturally and what the comments do to them. Of course, we are watching her every move for the pregnancy news, but in the meantime, the comments from the posters about her weight are pretty crappy. It probably didn't help that Dr. Phil had on the most emaciated 70 and 80lb young women on his show who suffered from eating disorders. It was so very sad. Anorexia and eating disorders are the mental health diagnosis that results in the most deaths. Be the great guy you are and put something up about the tragedy of eating disorders rather than talking about Bristol's pudginess or leave it alone.

    Do we see anyone dissecting the young, pudgy guy on the show? Nope!

  29. Anon 5:22 IMO you nailed it:

    I concur with your statements. It is the Palin entitlement syndrome. I think other dancers would agree that Mark could not over dance compensating for Bristol's lacking nor hr lack of investment in the outcome. I view her weight issue/lack of fitness that instead of committing to look and do her best it is up to the costume designers to cover her up and Bristol chose to lie and lie spinning "modesty" when the true issue was being out of shape and overweight. This show was an opportunity to eat wisely, improve one's health, and show up to get exercise, improve one's performance.Week after week each performer has something they are getting out of the experience to use to improve their own life.
    Whether it is Margaret Cho realizing she does not need to hide behind comedy, or Grey reconnecting with her passion, powerful ability to connect and express it in dance, Partridge's realization she has a talent for dancing, presonnel bars set high to improve this is what normal people do. Bristol: "it sucks!" No, BP, your performance "sucked" in your vocabulary. BP was pissed..so angry she could not hide her anger at the end of the show. Hell it was yet another national opportunity to actually BE a "role model" and she has failed again.

    I have a perspective having been around young persons who had passionate aspirations in the performing arts and other careers who worked diligently to earn and deserve credibility and achieved commeasureable success.

    BP has had opportunities given to her on a silver platter unlike the masses. What does she do with it? Not much, she shows up and depends on lies to gloss over her lack of effort. She lies of "struggles" as a teen mom while having adults to caretake the child and evidently her.

    Lack of responsibility: For someone seeking a career of speechifying as a "role model", gigs in reality tv, maintain celebrity status/famous daughter BP appears to not give a damn about her public image. She seems entitled to be on camera, on the street, even press photos dressed sloppy and inappropriately. Then she is angry if captured as she is.
    Again it is the entitlement issue and familial learned delusions to control what people see and hear all flattering not one as they truly are. BP's anger at the end of DWTS was reminiscent of Sarah enraged with Katie Couric. The Palins suffer delusions they are the best, greatest in the world above others i.e. distorted self perceptions.

    Alas, those Peebots are like minded, angry if BP did not get the highest scores!

    The Palins are the epitomy of narcissism in the malignant form.

    I don't think she's preggo. I think it is fair to say she's at the "freshman 15" age of her life, where she hasn't learned to eat healthy yet, long hours, fast food -- Lord knows no one at home cooked for her. She might have a thyroid condition -- I do and no matter how much exercise and watching calories, I cannot lose weight. We should stick to facts, it makes us look looney and as mean as Sarah when we pick her apart on things she doesn't deserve.

    I was shocked when I saw Bristol's performance on Monday and the still pictures of her are very intriguing. She is gaining weight! I just spent the summer running a snack bar and I managed to work off over 30 pounds in a couple of months. Having taken dance when I was younger, there was just no way that anyone could gain weight while rehearsing several hours a day. It's an intense workout by any standards and one of the best ways to tone and lose weight. As to the pregnancy possibility: it is just too bizarre to be real, but then, again, we're dealing with the Palins here.

    Nothing makes sense with this Bristol thing (Welcome to Palin World!) I can't believe the DWTS would allow Bristol to compete pg. I can't believe they are not suspicious. I can't believe Bristol would try to pull this off in front of the entire nation. When Palin faked her pg, she thought no one was looking. Can they be that bold? On the other hand-she does look and act pregnant. There is no good reason why she is not losing weight. I cannot come up with a theory that fits everything.

    And yes the girl gets bigger every week. (At least she was not dressed like Miss Piggy this week!) As for the physical necessary to get on the show....I would imagine all they have to do is present a form or letter from their doctor. Don't the Paylin's own a couple of those? If not I am sure they could afford to buy one or forge a few signatures here and there. :-D

  36. I do think it is beyond that strange that she seems to be the only person to ever go on DWTS and NOT lose weight. Even Kurt Warner has been tweeting about how much weight he is losing and how is back to the weight he was when he was playing football.

    I am really quite surprised that she isn't trying to maximize the weight loss. I thought we would see another Kelly Osbourne story. Surely that would be worth another big tabloid payday cover and maybe even a weightloss company gig. I'm shocked she is letting that pass her by.

    But I don't think Bristol is currently pregnant. That is a very unique shape, even with her current chub flub, and I just don't see it.

    Now, she could have BEEN pregnant and started eating for two and is still eating out of stress.

    And I really think the biggest explanation is that she just isn't working all that hard. We certainly haven't seen any video showing her working her butt off!

    To sum up, I think it is most likely that she is eating everything that isn't nailed down and is lazy.

    Anon 5:42 I would need a sworn affidavit from any employer of Bristols when she was 14-16 years old. You ommitted the fact Bristol dropped out of HS. It can be spun she took online courses but it is a fact and definition of drop out when one no longer attends school. Doing chores is not "work" as in outside the home "job" for a kid. If so, who was watching the little ones. My four childrens father traveled. It is not possible for both parents working away from home 50% of the time, kids sent off to relatives to juggle HS, jobs, chores, Hockey mom'ism, BP allegedly playing all kinds of sports. I can't believe any Palin kid was honor role due to the Palin's disdain for learning and refusal to study to know things.

    The tragedy is people who buy into the exaggerations, false claims, web of lies of the Palin's mytholgical family.

    I would not call her fat but definately say she is pregnant.Look at the top of her belly and notice a slight rounding,also het lackluster appearences also suggest the lethargy of pregnancy.She never excerts herself while dancing so the movements she does make should not harm her fetus,and I think she never told DWTS that she was pregnant when she had her interview.The Palin people will do anything for a buck so a pregnancy should also not stop them.

  45. Gryphen: I also would like to know what facts people know of who say BP was or is pregnant.

    BP chose publicity and commented she hoped to lose weight. Okay, so people observe to see if she is or has. This is no different then Oprah going public about her goal to lose weight. Duh..people are interested to see if a person achieves their goals. Fact is, bluntly, BP gains weight and has been ballooning up getting thicker in the waist, double chins merging to a pudgy face, expanding belly provoking speculation of pregnancy, BS publicity stunt of "modesty" then she strips wearing a chichi hot red dress.

    What are people to do? Join in lies and say the opposite of reality e.g. "Oh my, she is dedicated, look how thin she is getting, oh my poor girl struggles and has no "help", she is amazing, did you hear she ran the office and did it while being the sole caretaker of her one year old (who is almost 2)? BP works hard at one thing: maintaining her lies are truth.

    Question is: why is Bristol gaining weight rapidly while being on DWTS? BP has the thinking of I am not..they are..therefore I am superior to them..me..I am just "modest". I doubt she is preggars. I do think she is oblivious to her real self and does not perceive herself accurately and can't be bothered to help her self.

    Ok, then, either

    1. She's a total slacker, is not actually practicing dancing, and is having fun eating much more than salads at Mickie D's, or

    2. She is suffering from a thyroid or other hormonal problem and all that exercising isn't working off any of the chunk, or

    3. She is pregnant.

    Or, as was pointed out to me, it could be both 1 and 3, which explains the total lack of actual "dancing" in her routines.

    And to the commentor who said that neither Sarah or Bristol would "EVER" get an abortion.....how the hell do YOU know what either of them would do in their private life? You DON'T know.

    Bristol showcasing her weight gain on a nationally televised show subject to paparazzi and online criticism is a lot different than just staying behind desk job.

    It isn't about your label size, it's about an odd decision to subject yourself to body image ridicule if you are self conscious about your weight, as Bristol obviously is.

    The Palin women are truly experts at blowing their own horns, putting other people down while making themselves sound tough. She could have said, "I eat when I'm nervous which is why I'm not losing weight, even tho I'm exercising." But no, she slights the other contestants, saying they are too nervous to eat while Wonderful Bristol is too strong to have that issue.

    True, some of the contestants may be too nervous to eat, but they would be losing weight anyway from all that exercise. As long as you don't start overeating to compensate, six hours of intensive work is going to make you drop the pounds. I've no doubt most of them were also working hard to get in shape and lose weight BEFORE they went on the show. What sane person wouldn't?

    Have you noticed that in the practice shots we see of Bristol, she is hardly moving? She's always just standing there waving her arms around. Compare that to the energetic dances being practiced by the others.

    The problem I have with her being preggers is that we thought that last MAY. Did she lose that baby, and this is a replacement? I've said before that Bristol seems to have a hard time carrying her babies to term (the photos of newborn Tripp show an obvious premie, and I suspect Trig was very premature, as well). But if she is pregnant, DWTS may know it. They are giving her very easy dance steps that don't require a lot.

    But this girl has seriously yo-yo'd since being thrust into the public spotlight. It isn't about eating disorders and societal body image that we are harping about her fluctuations, it's about a hypocrisy that these Palin women live by but would deny and judge others on.

    I think it is possible to maintain, or even gain weight, while doing DWTS. We've seen her rehearsal tapes and it doesn't appear that she works very hard. If she's wearing those sweatshirts all the time, she's obviously not working up a sweat.

    She's probably living in a hotel with 24 hour room service and a well-stocked mini-bar -- and a DWTS lackey to cater to her every whim. Since everything is paid for, my guess is, she eats whenever she's bored, which is probably all the time.

    Many of the DWTS participants go home at night, to their own homes, are probably too tired to cook and fall into bed. Those are the ones who lose weight quickly.

    That said, as someone involved in theatre costuming, I think she must have really pissed off the costumer because they are giving her awful things to wear! I know they have better looking dresses than what they've been putting her in. And the fact that they let her go out on stage in the white dress when you could see she had dark Spanx on underneath tells me that she may have thrown a diva fit at some point and they're getting their revenge.

    Then again, she might be pregant.

  57. Anonymous8:14 AM

    Here's a new explanation for you: Bristol WAS preggers with previous boyfriend's child (Berber? sorry, can't remember). She got back together with Levi hoping to pass the baby off as his and get married, because that way she'd look less like a slut. That blew up in her face. Too late for a Wite-Out. At some point this summer she goes into premature labor, as she has a tendency to do, and delivers.

    The baby is hidden away. Bristol goes on DWTS, wearing an increasingly padded false belly and lots of layers when seen at practice. The Palins laugh as we all watch Bristol's belly and speculate.

    I predict Bristol will then pretend to "have" the baby about the time it normally would have been born if it had really been Levi's. She'll be careful not to allow the baby to be photographed, just like she did with Tripp, until it's "several months old," at which point everyone will be saying, "He's just big for his age."

    If we were talking about anyone but a Palin woman, this would sound ridiculous. But the Palins know that they can get away with this shapeshifting charade.

    It would explain why Bristol sometimes looks big in the stomach and at other times looks fairly flat. Yes, her arms are big, but she's no doubt letting herself eat like crazy, just like Sarah did when she was pretending to be pregnant with Trig, because she knows it will add to the illusion. When you've flashed your rounded belly in red fringe on TV, why walk around LA in 113 degree weather hugging a sweatshirt over your belly unless you're actually hiding the fact that there is no bump there?

    If Bristol Palin is truly pregnant again, which I think she is, then I think she could have been pregnant before (and she either lost or aborted that pregnancy)and is also pregnant now, again.

    I think this young lady has this one thing her mother can't control - her body. Now isn't the irony rich on that one?

    Why on earth she is still on that show and Margaret Cho was voted off has to be about $$; money for the network and money for Bristol. She will go off this next week, I am absolutely positive. And she will either pin another baby on Levi (which might be the truth) or she will have the baby and give it away. If she recedes into the background and we don't hear from her in a while, it's the latter. She did it before, right?

    Bristol & Levi announce engagement claiming Sarah did not know. Once Sarah hears she forces Bristol to break up with Levi. Sarah, wants to make a few quick bucks so she gets Bristol on DWTS. Was there something else Sarah didn't and still doesn't know?

    Or keep in mind that Sarah sent Track to Iraq for her personal political gain, despite the risks. Sarah could be doing the same with Bristol making her dance. Were something to happen to Bristol, Sarah likely thinks it would help her politically as long as a Bristol abstinent pregnancy were not announced.

    I can't imagine Bristol wanting to tell Sarah she is pregnant one more time. Bristol probably thought that if she married Levi, then she could tell Sarah after the wedding, less of a stigma and damaging blow to Sarah's blind ambition.

    That said, I do think we should lay off Bristol. Keep collecting the photos, but give Bristol a break. No one wants something tragic to occur here. We all assume Bristol is a Sarah clone. Probably not.

    I really hate defending any of the Palin's, but I have to agree with the others on here that picking on her constantly over her weight issues is just mean - not to mention the impact it could have on other girls her age.

    Some people eat when they're stressed and I have no doubt BP is beyond stressed. She isn't a dancer and her performances have all been pretty bad. The clothes they have her wear (that I am sure she insists on) on hideous and unflattering. But I am sure she is simply trying to make her crazy mother happy by dressing that way.

    BP and I am sure the other kids as well are undoubtedly emotional abuse victims and have been all their life. It is quite common to see emotional abuse victims over eat or under eat.

    When she says the other dancers are too stressed to eat but she doesn't have that problem it is because she is an emotional eater - not because she is so relaxed.

    I also doubt she is putting in the same tiring hours as the other contestants. If she were she would have improved more and clearly she hasn't.

    There are plenty of things to pick on Bristol about; her inability to dance, her non stop lying about abstinence, the fact she is becoming a clone of her crazy ass mother etc. But hateful remarks non stop about her weight are just plain mean. Sarah Palin mean.

    Do any of you really want to become a hater like Sarah herself? Some of you sound just like her.

    If nothing else consider the impact on other young girls who are dealing with weight issues.

    Here's another comment. I wore a maternity girdle (yes folks, I am that old) throughout my pregnancy. Wore it and worked up to the day before labor. It helped support my back. I could not sleep or move about without it.

    At the same time, I did not show a a dribble of weight or bump until almost my sixth month. When I finally bulged, I could not move at the waist. You lose your waist first. I made that comment before about Bristol. Watch the way she moves. And check her out from the back. Women take a different shape when carrying a child.
    My pear shape anatomy and broad hips carried all the baby weight. Hips and pelvis do all kinds of changes to support the baby weight.

    Bristol is most likely pregnant. Remember all the stories that have been in the news about teens who were pregnant and never looked it, excluding ones who were overweight.

    What I can't figure out is how she will disclose events later. Adopt the child out? Don't think so. Unless she will blame Levi for it.

    As to eating and getting fat: what young girl, who is of dating age and in the LA/Hollywood area would not want to be seen with guys (Christian or otherwise) and be out and about doing healthy family things with your friends and child. The sun shines all the time in LA, so different from Alaska. And it's so warm there guys!

    I agree with another poster, they are trying to hide Bristol's condition in plain sight. I think, while Bristol has gained weight, they are also padding the dresses out. They look thick on top and her rear end looks huge. The idea is to balance the body so as to make a protruding belly less evident.
    Look at a week 2 pic:

    I think the idea that she dress modestly was contrived as an excuse to cover the poor girl in layers of clothes to better hide her condition. I expect more spanx, padding, and flowing skirts for next week.

    OMG, some people on this thread have zero sense of humour.

    Good God, this is about a girl who willingly signed up for a wildly popular, nationally broadcast prime time network show that is essentially a popularity contest and all about being JUDGED on physical skill and attributes.Those attributes include physical form, posture, and dancing. If Bristol did not want to be judged she should have kept her ass home. So whether she's fat or pregnant, is a valid question, because both things affect her dancing, DUH!

    If Bristol is on Dancing with the Stars, then she considers herself a public figure, so she is going to get the same treatment as all the other celebrities.

    I have said before that there are man things that could contribute to weight gain, thyroid, aging, overeating, and being on anti depressants, or even steriods. Bristol's extremely puffy face and arms indicate all over weight gain and/or serious water retention.

    Bristol is NOT an office manager. She has no job. Obviously, that Anchorage doc is allowing her to say that because he gets some kind of celebrity and patient draw, maybe? Maybe they just don't want to deal with it.
    Anyone who really believes that an employer will let you be absent more than you're present (like coming into work every few months?, clearly is not in the workforce. Entry-level jobs in a doctor's office are not the type of work one can do from home.

    Never mind the abstinence thing - I'm increasingly frustrated with the message Bristol sends to teenagers that they can essentially stop going to school and still graduate "with honors" and a 3.5 GPA.
    She's delivering a message and unrealistic expectations that a 19 year-old with no skills and no college can easily find "manager"-level employment that allows for extended long-term absences. Those of us that are veterans in the work place know perfectly well that one position is more flexible than another when needing leave time, that supervisors usually and typically will not ALLOW you to leave the building for personal business, that you can expect to genuinely be in trouble leading to being fired if you are late back from a 45-minute lunch, take time off without requesting leave in advance, call in sick too many times, have frequent absences, etc etc.
    When you are absent from a doctor's office, someone else has to physically be there to cover for you, answer the phone, greet patients, manage files and charts, order supplies, prepare forms. THAT person is doing THAT job; it's simply not possible that it's Bristol 'I-can-see-my-job-from-my-house' Palin.

    About being cast on a television series. Another mixed message. Dancers and actors in the entertainment industry work very very hard to put themselves in front of casting directors and producers. They bust a move to BE someone that WILL get a role, WILL be hired on a shoot or TV series. They get up very very early to get to cattle calls, spend enormous time and energy preparing. Photographs, resume, working out, dressing, dance class, voice coaches, putting themselves in the right place at the right time. They don't just get an acting job by accident or because they're cool people. All of the people involved in this show WANT this job. It's a REAL job for all of them. Except Bristol.
    I feel no sympathy for her lack of acting skills or dance preparation. Everyone who auditions for this show can expect to NEED those skills. She doesn't have them, because she isn't a star. Isn't a career actress or a singer.
    Bristol couldn't care less. It's a cute little family vacation. A lark. She loves loves loves the attention, but didn't do a thing to get the job. And probably has very little motivation to keep it, aside from the attention. Oh, and the checks are a nice perk.

    It's ironic that during this same time period, there are several thousand Alaskans that know exactly how fickle the acting business is and how hard it is to land a part in a production.
    There's a bunch of people that have gone overboard to get a headshot and resume in front of a producer, get to a casting call, begged for an audition, for the "Everybody Loves Whales" shoot. Bought $900 tickets to get to an audition from the villages or Outstates. Genuinely took days off of work, scrambled to find contacts, made themselves available however they could. And didn't get hired.

    It would be great if Bristol could just pretend that she appreciates her good fortune. It IS an acting job, after all!

    As far as the scrutiny on her appearance - hey! this is Hollywood! That's what they do. Deal with it.
    She is visibly wearing serious compression garments. There's been just a couple of photographs without them and yes, she does really look pregnant. Not fat, pregnant. The public is fascinated and will keep looking.
    Assuming a normal healthy pregnancy, there's no need to stop activity, including rigorous exercise. Pregnancy is not a medical condition and human beings are designed to do this. I doubt that it makes a difference to the show, one way or another, as long as she's not hugely and visibly pregnant.
    My opinion and I know nothing: if she's not pregnant now, she must have been to have an abdomen that shape and size.

  73. Let's get rid of a few wrong perceptions. DWTS has Bristol performing because it draws an audience and that's because she is Sarah's daughter. No other reason. So if Bristol wants to do just a few minutes of training with her partner then she won't be losing weight because of exercise and the kind of performance she puts on indicates no more than that. There is no real athletic ability displayed from Bristol as there is with most of the other women. And so, the bottom line is, Bristol is getting by on her name right now without showing any ability. We need to acknowledge that Bristol hasn't performed any stunts on the dance floor that would require any athletic ability. For certain she couldn't anyway in her physical condition. No mystery there folks, so let's all accept that much at least.

    Now as far as Bristol overeating and being pregnant, let's not doubt our eyes. Of course she is both and I strongly maintain that she has no motivation to look good on the dance floor. Personal motivation is not something that is common in the Palin family. Add to that the fact that she's not there for herself and is very resentful of her mother and lack of a proper relationship between the mother and all the children and you have the ticking bomb that sort of passes off what she is doing as dancing while she's ready to explode in public.

    If Bristol Palin is the biggest draw the show has then Bristol Palin will win the contest. Somehow, some way the audience would be convinced that Bristol is doing the best job. The judges only need to do their part by giving Bristol 1 more point than the lowest couple. The Palin-bots will do the rest but even if they didn't quite do it for Bristol it wouldn't matter. Keeping the show's biggest draw on there competing trumps everything else. When Bristol gets kicked off it will be a carefully made decision by the producers.

  75. But if she' pregnant how in the world will she get away with it later, or might she not care? Even if she promptly disappears from the spotlight in the next couple of weeks after getting cut from DWTS, she can't hide forever and she would have a new kid whenever she reappears which would make all her current speeches a real travesty...

  76. Bristol's excuse for not losing weight couldn't be more ridiculous. But ridiculous is all it takes to appease her mother's fans. The Palins have every reason to believe they can fool the public into either accepting fake pregnancies or denying real ones. However, the interview gave the rest of us another reason to be suspicious.

    I think Bristol would absolutely still go on DWTS if she was pregnant...possibly, because she was pregnant. There's nothing in a general physical that would diagnosis pregnancy, unless Bristol told them, and prevent her from getting a doctor's clearance for the show. Also, too, dancing is good exercise unless she gets thrown around.

    I'm not at all convinced she's pregnant but hoping she'll be around at least another 3 weeks.

    It is another curious moment in all things of the Phalin World.

    Is it possible that she is on anti-depressants? We recently got a prescription for our sick dog to stimulate her appetite. It is a human anti-depressant and it is working (the dog's an eatin' machine).

    Everyone on the show is fair game right now, so some comments on Bristle's weight are appropriate. We aren't commenting on Kyle's weight because this is where Phalins are discussed.

    That said, young women are harassed (sometimes to death) over weight issues. Perhaps we can tread lightly, which is what I think you are trying to do.

    Back in the early 60s, my sisters best friend was pregnant while a senior in catholic school. But nothing, and I mean nothing, could get her to admit it. In fact, she really believed she was just gaining weight. My sister kept asking her and obviously everyone sould see her, but the story was she was just heavy--and getting heavier. This girl was terrified of her family, the school, the church, society, etc. and really convinced herself she was not pregnant. My sister did not buy it but she did not know what else to say or do with this girl except be there for her. Then labor arrived and it all could not be concealed anymore. Yes, it was fifty years ago but sometimes denial is very, very deep and that does not go out of style.

    At some point Bristol will have to dance the jive, and according to an Arthur Murray website, "Today's Jive is a very fast and exciting dance with a highly stylized and precise "trained" look about it. At its highest level the Jive is an extremely athletic dance with flashy fast patterning, elastic muscle use and big stretched lines".

    Her shape on the other hand, is a different stories. People,particularly women, I think are wired to be excited about pregnancies. Makes sense to me - would help ensure survival.

    Apparently Bristol is planning to "bring the sexy" next week and is claiming it is her mom's idea!

    Wow, there is desperation and then there is desperation, and then there is the Palin level...

    she had a baby before age 18 and did not marry. People will look at, discuss, laugh at, sneer at her belly until she either marries or is about 50 years old.

    This is the fate of EVERY unwed teen mom. Bristol is not the first nor the last to get this treatment.

    Appearing on stage just enables more people belly watch.

    Is she pregnant at this moment? Really doesn't matter does it? The abstinence gig is a farce anyway.

    There are thousands of reasons why we can talk about Bristol. She gives morality lectures on "do as I say, not as I did" for $10,000.-$30,000. At that price, we have a right to know if she is selling false information to bolster her mother's right to life credentials.

    Bristol is the ultimate hypocrite, an unwed teen mother who has cashed in and collection fame and money for having unprotected sex and keeping the baby. That should not be a selling point of good behavior, and it shouldn't be rewarded. Yet, she appears in magazines and on DWTS. Undeserved.

    To keep that Candies Foundation spokesperson thing, Bristol cannot have another baby. She really does have to practice what she preaches (at least for now). If she was pregnant, then she and Levi were trying to cash in on it, selling a series of the happy family getting married, and surprise, having another baby. With the TV series, Bristol wouldn't get stuck giving those speeches that she is so bad at giving. (Have you heard her speak? It's not worth $10,000.)

    I also don't think that they would let her on DWTS without a physical, and signing medical waivers. It doesn't make sense that she would go on that show and risk a miscarriage. It sounds like her mother's version of flying for 12 hours while in labor. Who would fall for that stuff?

    There's definitely a belly there, and Bristol tries to hid it with hoodies when it's 113 record degrees in LA. Her dresses cannot disguise the fact that she is stuffed into girdles, and there are still bulges. Remember what a dumpling she was in the purple dress on Jay Leno's show.

    I'm sorry for the sensitive people who think that we shouldn't discuss Bristol's weight and appearance. Her mother put her on a stage with Levi and announced Bristol's pregnancy with Tripp. Sarah has been promoting that story ever since. If Bristol elected to live a private life, then her weight would be her business. But she gives hypocritical speeches for thousands of dollars, so the question of her being pregnant or not is an issue. Bristol validates Sarah's Family Values. If Bristol is pregnant and unmarried again, it doesn't do Sarah any good politically. And, Sarah doesn't let stuff like that happen to her.

    I agree, that if this was just being mean to a young woman about her weight we should stop this discussion. But it isn't just that. This family is a fraud and this weight thing could be related to earlier frauds with political implications.

    My theory: Bristol was pregnant and already delivered. She was quite large in April at the Candies Florida event which could have been 4-5 months then. She delivered during the summer. She had hoped to marry Levi and pass off as his, but that blew up so another baby is in hiding. Bizarre I know, but this is Palin we're talking about.

    Just as Sarah was trying to "predefend" herself recently rehashing the Wild Ride story and trying to muddy the waters on some other scandals (should they come out), she could be with Babygate as well.

    They make Bristol as visible as possible (hiding in plain site)so everybody sees the weight gain (and continued gain). Probably some of the additional weight is stress, laziness, birth control and no structure to her life. But there could be an ulterior motive.

    Now the preggers rumors are picking up again. Then voila, turns out she's not preggers (just overweight)and Sarah's camp can point to all the FALSE rumors while on DWTS.

    This accomplishes two purposes: distracts us from the delivery earlier this summer and Sarah can point to those other "false" pregnancy rumors late 2007/early 2008. She predefending against babygate.

    I find it very hard to believe that they would let her onto DWTS when pregnant. Especially after Marie Osmond fainted and scared everybody. Note how obviously cooler things were with her and Mark this week. He turned AWAY from her when they learned they would be staying (versus hugging like every other couple). He's probably starting to figure some things out.....

  96. Like many posting here, I was a dancer years ago. Rehearsals are HARD and burn a ton of calories! Granted, Bristol is holding back and might burn a few more calories if she was actually giving it her all, but she's either got a light-weight rehearsal schedule so she can do all her teen-activist gigs, or she knows she doesn't have to do anything more than call it in to keep her spot.

    "Assuming a normal healthy pregnancy, there's no need to stop activity, including rigorous exercise. Pregnancy is not a medical condition and human beings are designed to do this. I doubt that it makes a difference to the show, one way or another, as long as she's not hugely and visibly pregnant."

    Exactly. DWTS has had an 80 year old on the show, a woman with only 1 leg, etc. Any tv show is based on ratings and money. DWTS has Bristol on not because she is a star but because her mother is very high-profile.

    As Anonymous stated, dancing while pregnant would be fine. Female dancers dance through their pregnancies, runners run, etc. While Bristol isn't used to this much physical activity, she is young and healthy. If she is pregnant, and the pregnancy is healthy, there would be no reason for her not to be on DWTS for a while. A doc would give her instructions on how to up her physical activity during pregnancy if Bristol was determined to dance while pregnant. One of the instructions would be to limit the amount of weight lost though.

    Bristol hasn't been dancing any steps that would be difficult for a woman in early-mid pregnancy. If she is pregnant, she won't be dancing much longer because her balance will be thrown off from the baby's growth and natural pregnancy weight gain.

    As long as Bristol is healthy, there is no reason for DWTSs to cancel her before the season started. Assuming that she even told them. A physical wouldn't necessarily show an early pregnancy if the doc wasn't looking for a pregnancy, and the physical could have happened months ago, before she was pregnant.

    If anything, a pregnant contestant would boost the shows ratings. That gives DWTS even more incentive to have Bristol on the show.

    Oh for pities sake. Women on dancing with the stars are always made fun of if they are chunky or overweight.

    You can Stuff your fat into a industrial strength Spanx all you want, but fat is fat.

    If she is a pregnant, she is a fool to be on the show. And the show is negligent for allowing her to even be there.

    Who knows.

    Meanwhile people speculate.

    They always do.

    Why shouldn't they.

  99. I swear if I see or hear someone call Sarah a good mother ever again,I'll puke!

    She made how many millions last year? She couldn't afford to get Bristol a personal trainer before DWTS? She let her go on that show looking like that? I'm not even talking about her weight, but her general shape and tone!

    Sarah KNEW that Bristol would get torn up! Of course everyone is going to compare Bristol to her cute little mother! It's a given! And it's DWTS for crying out loud! Of course Bristol would be inviting critique about her clothes, hair, weight, etc!

    Would you do that to your daughter? Especially without helping her in every conceivable way?

    Sarah Palin is now a multi-millionaire. She can afford personal trainers, stylists, etc. for Bristol, but doesn't help her at all. It feeds Sarah's ego to see people compare them IMO, and that's just sick.

    Good mother my ass!

    Sarah, are you reading? How about this scenario? Bristol starts out the dance with her back to the audience wearing a pumpkin outfit hanging from her shoulders. Her partner approaches from behind and caresses her. She flips off the pumpkin (without killing her partner.) and, ... and it's Sarah! (Bristol called in sick.) The audience goes beserk (except for the 521% that are booing.). Ratings skyrocket.

    No less unbelievable than anything else Sarah has done recently.

    You're dead correct. My friend's cousin had a baby at 16 (from Mississippi) and her grandfather promised to help her if she stood before his congregation and apologized for it. While this is humiliating, I kind of like the concept.

    I've been thinking of Pistol Bristol and DWTS. Audriana is on the show, and Mark Bernett once tried to build a reality show around her. When she got on DWTS, he probably said if you want her, you have to take Bristol too. The show has turned down Melanie Griffith countless numbers of times, and she is way more deserving of the title "star." In Hollywood, they do this all the time. Attach the untalented to talent.

    It is about time we see that she is working. Why did it take so long? I know Mark is trying his best to keep the illusion. He really doesn't need to when it comes to the PeeBots, they will buy anything the Palins are selling. Bristol should watch Osborne and Cho's tapes and try to mimic them.

    Gryphen, any news locally about the guy Bristol was sleeping with around the time she broke up with Levi recently - right after she and Levi announced their fake "engagement" in that magazine? Because I'm hearing that there was another guy even when she was "getting back with Levi." She may have gotten pregnant AGAIN by this newer guy. (Hint: local guy, but not one of the usual suspects who has been associated with Bristol.)

    It's making my head spin, but this means she was pregnant during the ill-advised "reunion" with Levi, "lost" that pregnancy (white-out) and now is pregnant again.

    Unfortunately the people I'm hearing this from talk about how Bristol has never had any self-esteem, and her entire confidence is built around being sexually available to anybody who asks for "some." These don't always become relationships of any duration, they're more hookups than anything else.

    So it's seeming like she might have been pregnant TWO TIMES ALREADY in 2010, which is a record or something. With a white-out taking care of the first, and a really dumb stint on DTWS showing the rest of the world this newest bun in the oven.

    (I have friends in your area who aren't willing to go on record, unfortunately. But this is what they have been telling me. One has a teen daughter who has been friends in Bristol's social circle for a long time. She tells her mom that Bristol's circle of friends - many of them former friends now because "fame" has gotten to Bristol's head - pretty much knew that all along Bristol only had plans to be a young mother, and that she wants at least three or four children. Guess she's doing pretty well with that. Trig, Tripp, and this newest one.

    Is O.K. Magazine thinking that Bristol maybe pregnant again as well? Notice how they use her picture and put a caption stating Baby #2 on the way just above it. They are talking about the Kourtney but it appears that they are trying to lump Bristol in as well. I am sure this is making Bristol nervous.

    I never thought she was pregnant, because how could she be on the show and be pregnant? But I'll tell you, I clicked on her dance video from another site, watched it, and was shocked. She's GAINING weight. How on earth do you GAIN weight from week to week with that schedule? And not just a little, I am seeing significant difference because I don't really watch her. But when I do, when I come here or someplace, and click on a link or video, it's noticeable.

    I also blew off the baggy clothes, because I figured that's her style. But again, more baggy clothes, and this strange protective nature of Mark. Something's changed about him, he seems very close to her. I saw this in rehearsal, in the dance, and in his angry reaction when a judge said something critical about Bristol.

    During the dance, none of that flirty/sexual tension/emotional closeness that I saw in the practice came through. He began carefully holding and walking her around the stage like he was holding an inanimate, breakable object. He deliberately did not push into her belly, and when they danced, I felt like I was watching three people - her, mark, and a belly. It was the weirdest thing.

    That's when I got the feeling I wasn't watching fat Bristol, but preggers Bristol, or as others said maybe formerly preggers Bristol, and Mark is subconsciously not pushing into that area because he knows the truth. Either way, he knows something. And as her dance partner, he would have to. Because any other dancer would ask, "why won't you let me get physical with you? Why won't you move more? What's wrong?" So they brought him into the fold, and his trip to AK was so symbolic of that. Plus, he wants a music career and they can help him with that.

    Final word, I have no idea if she's pregnant, and I don't really care too much. But I can tell you, if she continues to gain more weight on that show, the pregnancy rumors won't die down, they will instead escalate.

    On a positive note for Bristol, I thought she looked beautiful during the dance, and a little more elegant than last time.

    My thought exactly. She looked pregnant last spring/when "engaged" early this summer and then she missed the View and disappeared. She would have delivered (or taken care of) that pregnancy by now. And since she is GROWING now, good Lord she could be again. She got pregnant with Tripp very quickly after her "mono" pregnancy. Could have gotten preg again quickly now.

    This is really sad:

    - Currently pregnant (??)
    - Pregnant earlier this year by Ben Barber
    - Tripp
    - In late 2007/early 2008 (when she had "mono")
    - In 2006 ?? (the family picture with the sea green sweater that sure shows a baby bump on an otherwise thin girl

    How did a pregnant woman get on the show? You expect logic? Let me take you back to 2008. Her mother was eight months pregnant, in labor, and lost her amniotic fluid a couple hours earlier, and allowed on two flights. This same woman shoots up the Alaskan wilderness in and out of season, with and without licenses and tags. Dancing on TV is nothing.

    ajw, you may have a point there. Palins successfully break the rules and get exceptions for themselves everywhere else, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that they would have pulled strings to get Bristol on the show, preggers or not.

    It's not as if Bristol is just another contestant. That was painfully clear when the host and executive producer twisted themselves into knots to bury the Sarah boo story. Money talks, Truth walks. (or at least, takes a slow train).

    ReplyDelete
  117. Ok- let's look at this another way. Perhaps the reason that BP was give such simple dance routines is that she is preggers. So that the "agreement" between the DWTS folks/their legal team and the Palin folks was that BP could perform if her movements were limited and did not involve any real agitation or jumping. This is, of course, convenient anyway because she is not a skilled dancer.

    Anon 12:56, I agree with you. I watched the video, but not the scoring part, then I posted my impression. But today, I watched the rest of it.

    I see what you're saying. Mark is all up on her. I mean, how many times was he going to kiss her? And really, what for? I mean, I know he likes her, and he's without a doubt making an extra spectacle of it in front of the judges and any critics watching at home...but come on. Maybe he was trying to kiss Sarah's butt right through Bristol's cheek.

    I just thought that was really unnecessary, and so far there's nothing professional about these two. Why can't she just treat her partner like a regular dance partner like everyone else does on the show?

    And I noticed that now that Mark knows what she wants/doesn't want, he placed his hand on her shoulder instead of her waist. This obviously has nothing to do with modesty, because what's more intimate than kissing? How would an arm around the waist hurt? Because for whatever reason she doesn't want to be touched there and doesn't want the camera to go there. Draw your own conclusions.
