Smart of Len to ask Maks and Brandy to keep preparing their freestyle and dance it on the show. And as shocking as it all is and I suppose Maks will eventually say how he really feels, but what he said immediately had a whole bunch of class. Good for him. Yep the look on Derek... though I'm sure inside he's feeling like the trophy is theirs to win, now. I honestly thought Brandy would win in the end; she must REALLY lack fans who vote considering her perfect scores last night. The feed I was watching was SO choppy I didn't really hear but part of a boo.

That was just wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in the minority here. I like Brandy and she didn't deserve that. Its breaking her heart! I have nothing against any Palins or the Tea Party Movement, but how can anyone not believe they were all voting for Bristol?

And gasps of shock too... not bad natured stuff but definitely a "this should not be happening" kind of sound. I think in the finale (and I might be mixing it up with SCD) they do two dances on the first night, and they are judged and voted on in the normal way. On the second night they do a third dance and possibly a group kind of dance(???) and the judges get to vote again, but not the viewers. The new judges' votes are combined with the old judges' votes, to create a new judges' vote... but it still counts as only 50% of the final tally. Basically viewers votes, which can vary so much, decide everything.

Agreed, the Tea Party has co-opted DWTHS. HOWEVER, I think the way the show showed it appears to be an effort to get non-Bristol supporters to vote next week.

Well, all my votes last night went to Brandy/Maks. They've gotten all my votes since Rick/Cheryl were voted off and I stopped splitting. Sad seeing Brandy's reaction, and sadder still that Maks loses another opportunity to win the mirror ball. If I watch next week, and if I vote, those votes may just go to Bristol. Ridiculous.

I didn't watch that season (it was during my un-years), but wasn't Emmitt kinda significantly worse than Mario when they were in the finale (he was in that clip they showed two weeks ago, at least)? And Emmitt won, too? So a pretty shitty dancer has already won this, no? But since I was homeless at the time, I didn't have the opportunity for righteous indignation about DWTS that season, I guess.

Bristol will win this thing. Derek will be cool since Mark is his best buddy.

Vote for Kyle! He's the most improved and most fun to watch. And he had no dancing ability before this, just like Bristol. He did have entertainment experience though. I feel so sorry for Brandy. Its really unfair. Bristol has spent most of the season in last place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid that Kyle and Jennifer may split the votes next week leading to a Bristol win. Just this once, I want the judges scores to significantly impact who wins.

As I recall, Carrie A. said last night that Emmett wasn't doing well, until towards the end when he came on really strong. She was comparing Kyle to him.

I don't want to sound stupid but I'm confused.....are the fans that vote suppose to vote for the person they are a fan of or are they suppose to vote for who they thought danced best. This is my second year watching and I don't understand the entire voting process. Any insight would be helpful.

I am as surprised as everyone else but I for one never was able to take to Brandy. I was never able to warm up to her.

The same thing happened when Adam Lambert was on American Idol. It was the Southern Baptist and the religious right that voted for the winner and Adam came in 2nd. I forget who it was that won that year. I think that even Bristol feels a little out of place and really does not want to be there and probably wishes that she was voted off a long time ago. What a shame! It is only a mirror ball..that and 2 bucks will get you a cup of coffee.

It's a "who's the better dancer" show, but you vote however you want -- dance-ability or popularity. (Don't tell.)

Slinky, yes the crowd really did boo, and loudly. It was unmistakable. Jennifer was frozen and had a look on her face that seemed a mix between disbelief and anger. Her partner Derek's mouth fell to the floor in disbelief, and hung like that for a while. Kyle's smile dropped ten miles and his expression was that of shock as he placed his hands on his hips and tightened his lips. His partner, Lacey, managed a half smile and like Derek, clapped very slowly. Bristol didn't show much emotion, but kinda stood there looking at Brandy. (I don't think Bristol knew what to do.) Mark's eye's rolled as he looked away. (As if he were saying "are you kidding me?") True mixed emotions there. Maks' face went pale and he seemed hurt as he hung his head immediately. And Brandy ... As all of the other expressions were happening, she stood quiet, appeared hurt, and had a knowing look on her face. Her mouth turned up slightly in one corner as if she tried to force a smile. Eventually she did manage one. And yes, she cried later. The judges and most of the audience gave her a standing ovation. Bruno said he was really looking forward to her freestyle next week and invited her to come back. She didn't seem to want to commit, and seriously I can't blame her. Seriously!

Two things are more sad to me than Brandy's reaction. First, the entire cast ignored Bristol and Mark, IMO, no congratulations because they were so shocked that they'd beaten out Max and Brandy. And second, it's so sad to me that even though we and the entire viewing audience recognizes Brandy as a better dancer than Bristol, Bristol is being bashed all over the internet as if she had control of the voters. I don't care if Sarah Palin paid people to vote, it shouldn't reflect so poorly on Bristol. I can only imagine that she went behind the curtains and didn't celebrate at all, she probably cried her eyes out. How freakin rude of the audience to actually boo. And double freakin rude of the judges to say the decision of the voters was wrong and to not even congratulate Bristol and Mark.

I hope all the people who voted for Bristol have buyer's remorse- lol! I have nothing against her, but come on... she should have left weeks ago.

Not shocked- Bristol, for better or for worse, has that fanbase because of her mother (whose TLC show got 5 million for the first episode on Sunday)....she might have the biggest fanbase left out of the three. So I STRONGLY suspect the judges will be lowballing Bristol next week and overscoring Kyle and Jennifer to try and stop a Bristol win- but Bristol beat a 4% deficit last week...Brandy's fans probably go to Kyle for the most part. In either case, I don't think Jennifer winning is a slam dunk....

I think that even Bristol feels a little out of place and really does not want to be there and probably wishes that she was voted off a long time ago. I heard her in an interview...She seems to think that she is still in the competition because of her hard work. She laughs off the notion that her mother's supporters would keep her in the comp as she has many that don't support her as well <--not a real well thought out statement...
