Brandy should've either won,or placed in the top 3!!!! Not that "NITWIT" Palin!!!! The only reason that Bristol Palin made it to the top 3,was because "MAMA BEAR" Sarah,grabbed her cellphone,and called every "TEA PARTY MEMBER" she knew,and told them to vote for her "NO TALENT AIRHEAD DAUGHTER!!!! Dancing With The Stars has turned into a "POPULARITY CONTEST",and nothing more!!!!

Chantal... to Student 2012/08/02 10:53:12

I have nothing against Bristol and I believe she was pretty surprised she stayed in the show for as long as she did. Because she herself knew where she stood among the rest of the dancers. It is about being better every performance, but that's no reason to be in the top 3 of the show if you are not the third best dancer. Even the judges were like 'wtf' when brandy got kicked off and Nigel was like "I sooo wanted to see your freestyle." I did too :(
I am a democrat and if Chelsea Clinton got on the show and sucked, I wouldn't vote for her because I wanna see the best dancers continue on.

i'm actually convinced producers kept Bristol in there so Sarah Palin could make frequent appearances on the show and boost ratings. Who wouldn't want to keep Palin in the audience. Whatever the view is of her, she is popular.

Apolo is such a cutie and was amazing in his original season. Gilles is hot, hot, hot and did very well, too. I look forward to watching these two shake their groove thang. All the others, not so much.

Not a raw deal at all. It was very obvious she couldn't dance at all from the git-go!

I have no idea how her dancing went.
She is berated because the left are afraid of her mom.
If she can't dance, so be it.

reply
**Starz... to abubinc... 2012/08/01 12:00:12

It was purely her dancing ability on the show. She couldn't dance at all and it was her mother's friends that kept her there.

I was torn between Palin and Allie, but there's so much hatred against the Palins that I chose to support her. I see that among people my age and men, Palin is first and Allie is second. Huzzah! I see that Pamela Anderson is limping into second-to-last place. How the mighty have fallen. I guess stretching her face until you could bounce a quarter off of it isn't working so well for her, is it?

Pamela Anderson

I'll really be rooting for something worth watching on some other channel.
Come on Longmire, The Glades, Burn Notice, Perception, that new Sherlock Holmes with Lucy Liu, etc.

Best 'dating type show' in history:
Burning Love. Watch the first few minutes:

One woman spends her entire time at the house in an Panda costume.
One is pregnant. Another is homeless. Another is drunk and naked from the waist down the whole time.
The 'Batchelor' is so annoyingly stupid at one point the host slaps him in the face.

Bristol Palin is a no-talent worthless whore who needs to go home and take care of her bastard child. She is the worst form of hypocrisy for young women. Have an illegitimate child with a moron and then goes on to try and have some type of fame. She has no rhythm , talks like a dingbat from Wasilly, and offers no help as a role model. But then again, she comes from such a dysfunctional family, I guess I have to have some sympathy.

What a tribute to humanity you are! You attack a young woman who is trying to help other young women make better choices. You call her a whore when you have slept with women you aren't married to (yes, you have). You even attack a child. You are a poor excuse for a gentleman. Your mouth is trashy, and your mind is the dump. Shame on you for scattering your bile publicly.

reply
SJG to Expert ... 2012/08/01 23:08:10

I am sorry for calling her a whore. She is not a whore. She is a SLUT! And what is wrong with calling a child out of wedlock a bastard? Isn't that the definition? How can she help other women, when she couldn't keep her legs closed and was too stupid to use birth control. And going on DWTS helps other women? Please.................

What awful, opinionated haters these women are. You notice it's almost always women who hate the Palins. Jealousy? Probably. They are threatened by intelligent (read their speeches and their books, I dare you!), attractive women who are trying to make a difference for the better in the world rather than just sitting at home criticising others. Sad, pathetic haters.

reply
Aquaduck to Expert ... 2012/08/04 01:53:12 (edited)

Disliking someone makes them a pathetic hater? Then isn't everyone on the face of the earth a pathetic hater, including you? And I'm quite intelligent and nice looking myself, actually. And if you think it's only women that hate the Palins then I'm afraid you haven't gotten out much, my friend. And yes the Palins are TRYING to make a difference in the world, but are failing miserably. So what do they do? Go on these little soon-to-be-cancelled reality tv shows. So they're not exactly trying anymore, are they?

Aquaduck to eNewsAl... 2012/08/04 01:45:28 (edited)

If I were to be jealous of anyone's looks I wouldn't hate them, I'd show some love. Sure she has a nice face, but for me personally, it's nothing to be jealous of. (btw, if I was jealous of Bristol's looks, wouldn't I be jealous of Pamela Anderson's looks, and say "Screw Anderson", too?) And I don't follow her family, so I don't know much about them. All I know is that she's a terrible dancer, and talks trash about same sex marriage.
