That's what I do too, Cricket (from way up thread) I vote for the fun ones in the beginning, then as it gets nearer the end I vote more on performance and skill.

In case anyone feels like they need a laugh, this is this year's "stunt" dancer in the UK version. She's a politician, very game for a laugh, but, ermmm, not exactly talented. Her pro partner sometimes just drags or pushes her in the direction he wants. Although she's at a waaaaaay lower standard than the others they just make you laugh so much I think they really still deserve to be there.

Anne Widdecombe and Anton DuBec do the Pasio Doble. Kind of.

Reader, I think many people do like Bristol. Personally, I think she is cute and she seems spunky. I was glad when she cut her baby daddy back out of her life when he proved he wasn't really ready to change. I admired that because I know that's not easy. Many women older and wiser than Bristol can't seem to do that. I can't stand her mom, but I'm mature enough (I like to think so anyway) that I don't have to transfer that onto her. But I don't think she is a good enough dancer to be where she is in the competition and I think she is where she is because of her mom. So I think people liking Bristol and feeling she deserves to be there are sometimes two separate things.

You're thinking like I'm thinking, Hermi. I have liked Bristol all season, but can't stand her mother. I've said before, it was fun to watch someone actually grow and improve, and I think she is pretty cute when she is enjoying herself. But she should have gone before Cheryl and Rick at the very least.

Thanks for the video, Kitt. I so wish I could subscribe to UK TV somehow, but since I can't, it's nice to have Youtubes. She did okay..her feet were moving, lol.

Cricket, this page has links to other country's TV channels. You'll see in the blue banner that you can choose your country, then it will list (on the left side) the channels you can see. The UK has 54 available. Sometimes these are live TV, sometimes delay, sometimes crappy links like someone is videotaping in their basement, lol

Well, THAT didn't work, lol

Choose your country, and then when you pick UK, look on the right side of the screen and you'll see it listed under new channels.

I don't get the impression that Kelly Osborne would say things just to say them so it made an impression on me when she talked about how much she liked Bristol and appreciated her effort.
I think alot of people relate to her not having any type of dancing/show biz experience more so than relate to her mother.

I think Bristol is still there partly because she is likeable and partly because her mother was treated so badly by the left/media so in effect they believe she is the underdog and ppl root for the underdog.At this point though, she needs to be cut loose.

I utterly despise Bristol's mother, but I am able to judge Bristol on her own merits.

I think that for a very young woman who has no professional public experience, she is doing a noteworthy job.

I hated to see Rick go, I just loved him. I could live with it if Curt goes next, but Bristol or Kyle have to go after that.

I just hope to gosh that Brandy and Jennifer are the final 2, and the best one wins.

How do you despise someone you don't know? I can understand not caring for her politics. I can understand not agreeing with her policies or the way she governed in her state. I personally, admire Sarah Palin's strength and her willingness to step out and call foul on things she sees as wrong in government.

I think Bristol is a shy, sweet girl who is doing the best she is able with no dance or show business experience. She's not in the same category as Jennifer and Brandy, and likely they will be in the finals. I do think she's as good, dance wise, as Kurt or even Kyle, and even Rick, who went home on Tuesday.

What happened to Tom Bergeron on Tuesday night when he collapsed? Did he faint?

Let's keep it about the dancing in this thread and use the News & Views area for any political discussion. Thanks. :-)

No, he didn't faint. He was just being silly.

I thought he was 'fainting' to be funny - - they had done "awards" and had given Marie an award for her fainting moment - so I thought he was just mimicking that...

I would think that Kelly Osborne would feel some kinship with Bristol...thrust into the public spotlight with little or no input of her own, being in a family that is controversial, and having her teenage mistakes blasted all over the tabloids.

To my utter surprise, with this lot that's left, Bristol is one of my faves. Yes. I said that. I enjoy watching her interactions with her partner Mark, who seems genuinely quite fond of her. She doesn't deserve to win because she's not a very good dancer, and obviously Jennifer or Brandy should take the trophy, for dancing talent, IMHO, but their personalities are kind of a turnoff for me. My other fave is Kyle, I like his dancing, his cherubic antics, and the way he's softened up Lacey and keeps her on her toes, LOL, or maybe it's her new haircolour, haha, but I enjoy them as a team too. Surprisingly the male athletes this year have 2 left feet and zero charisma, IMHO.

I think she said something almost exactly along those same lines, Roxi.

i guess i'm the odd one out here.
but, obviously, sometimes knowing someone's real background affects their views.
hearing about bristol's real life back in anchorage from my friends there...i have a different view of the "innocent victim of the press".
google "ben barber" alaska.

I'm enjoying your posts in this thread, Mameblanche. I agree that Mark is fond of her, so I was surprised when one of the judges said there was no chemistry between them. You can see her loosening up week by week and getting a little closer to him. I see chemistry there.

I agree. I like blonde Lacey much more.

Lol, Dovez...no I didn't mean 'that' close. It's just that when she has to do the romantic parts of the dance, she actually gets closer to him in physicality than she used to. Their foreheads might actually touch now, lol.

I thought she had great hip action in the rehearsal for the group dance, but then said it was embarrassing. Had to laugh when the pros said, "No it's not...it's hot." I didn't see that hip action in the final dance. I'd love to see her just let loose and not worry about what people will think or being in front of an audience. Heh, heh...so much easier said than done, I know.
