I thought Edyta would have been a good match for Rick.

I don't know why they put Cheryl with him, she's not one of the taller dancers, Imdb puts her at 5ft 4. I thought Kym would have been a good match, but Edyta and Karina are taller than Cheryl too.

That's the one, Evan Lysacek! Thanks! He was a figure skater - remember the very balletic-like poses?

And the pretty much lack of personality.

Auntimike, nothing says the male HAS to be taller, but it would make the girl look like a heifer when the man tried to do a lift.

Chelsea Hightower seems to be pretty petite...she always looked small next to Mark Kanamura and he is a pretty thing guy, and wasn't she paired with that Louie guy (snowboarder?) who was pretty small?

The final 4 couples were on Larry King Live the other day. It was kind of fun.

This site archives some of the LKL appearances. You can download the video or watch it on the site. Right now the DWTS video is listed second.

OK, I have a question. Why is it OK that in other seasons, a "popular" vote was expected not necessarily the best dancer, but this season it is a conspiracy? How ridiculous. lol Isn't that what a great deal of the show is?? A group of folks voting for the one they like, not always for the dancing.

I don't think anyone is ever happy when a lesser dancer remains over a more talented one, someone will always be unhappy about this, it is just this year, Bristol is just young and many people feel they have to protect and defend her.

When O think of conspiracies, it always reminds me of the popular wave of an unorganized conspriacy (can that exist) between viewers who thought it was funny to vote for a suitor that the woman hated and said on the air she wish people would stop voting for him on Simon Cowell's one season show Cupid. I, personally, think they fudged the votes to get that guy off because the woman was so upset. I thought it was funny because she agreed to be on a show where the public picked her guy, what did she expect?

Oh, an a real conspiracy, not necessarily successful, would be "vote for the worst". I wonder if they pick someone for DWTS?

Good question!
It just ticked me off to see the E News open with it being a conspiracy. It is a flippin' television show. lol I will admit to not really watching this season. Just other stuff to do or watch.

If Bristol's mother wasn't a high profile politician the news wouldn't be calling it a conspiracy. Fair and unbiased reporting is a thing of the past. It is okay to bash someone who is a conservative in the popular media today.

When folks are voting for a particular dancer, and they are not fans of the show, is that okay?

Hypermom, personally I don't think that's okay at all. But it's not something that can be monitored so folks could probably get away with it.

Mame, me either. It just takes the fun out of the show knowing it is going on, imo.

How is a conspiracy when it's on this woman's twitter, to her 14,000+ followers, to vote for Bristol? lol

Well, I don't watch or vote, so I guess I am OK. lol
It is not like other contestants ever had followers tweeting or anything. lol

I don't think it is a conspiracy in the true sense of the word. There is likely not a surreptitious plan formulated in secret by Palin followers to corrupt DWTS voting.

But face it... the whole reason Bristol is on the show is because of her mother. Her mother has many followers who like to support her in whatever endeavor she pursues. Right now Sarah Palin is proud of her daughter and tweeting vote for my daughter. (what mother wouldn't?)

As for the media saying there is a conspiracy. I really don't think they are making a political statement. Simply suggesting that the wide followers that Sarah Palin has is backing her daughter... I don't see unbiased reporting.

Does Bristol deserve to still be on DWTS based on her merit alone... absolutely not. But there is no conspiracy.


I do think it is sad that Bristol actually believes that she is still in the competition based on her hard work. NOPE!

Carlpsmom... you LOL so maybe you are joking... but sure every contestant has friends that tweet hey vote for us tonight. Not everyone has Sarah's following though.

The pro's tweet the same plea for votes as well.

The thing is that by this time, the really bad dancers have already been eliminated, even if they ARE the "public's favorite". This is what? Final four? In past seasons, can anyone remember a bad dancer making it this far? (And yes, I'm classifying Bristol Palin as "bad." That's my opinion, I just think she can't dance.)

I thought that all season long you have been saying that you refuse to watch the show because you felt that people like Bristol Palin weren't "stars". What changed your mind?

I have loved watching her develop, and as far as I'm concerned, this is what the show is all about.

Watching Maks and Brandy just now I realized Maks is all about Maks and Maks looking good. Derek and Mark on the other hand try to make their partners look good.
