They have on the broadcast? I figured that it wouldn't be a subject that they would want discussed other than to say that they have things in place to discourage it. What statements have they made about it?

I'm still sticking with the producers 'final say' on who will win. But if they really let some internet highjackers have their winner the show will lose a lot of fans and the whole online voting should be reviewed.

I know Bristol shouldn't win but if she does would the uproar be fun to watch??? You bet!!

Today, Our local paper's final 3 poll with 3000+ participants has Kyle in 3rd with 14%, Bristol coming in second with 17% and then Jennifer winning the poll by a landslide.

Not on the show, Jimmer, but they've made public statements. And not all of Bristol's statements have been on the show either!


And Green agrees that there's no stuffing of the virtual ballot-box, saying that the entire process – text votes, call-in votes and email votes – "is all overseen by the Broadcast Standards team, independent of us and the network to make sure that everything is absolutely done scrupulously."

Green is a producer on DWTS.

That's kind of what I was getting at though. They wouldn't want Bristol to be telling people not to cheat because that implies people are successfully cheating when the show claims that "there's no stuffing of the virtual ballot-box .... everything is absolutely done scrupulously".

The white powder in an envelope supposedly from a "Bristol Palin fan" was last week or something. There have been other more recent death threats made against Bristol AND Mark Ballas:

I don't recall DWTS saying anything on the broadcast about cheating; they acknowledged there has been a lot of talk/discussion about the show and Tom B. urged people not to shoot their TV like the guy in Madison did.

Voting for Bristol to win in a cheating manner to get even with Dems re elections is not right, as two wrongs don't make a right.

They need to take the voting offline...phones only. Maybe that will stop it.

I'm thinking Kyle will win tonight.

I could not care less about Sarah Palin's politics. I just find Jennifer Gray a snore. I like Kyle and Bristol because they aren't experienced dancers. I want Kyle to win because he just makes me smile.

Jennifer Gray is anything but a snore, do you not see the energy flowing from her? I'm so proud of her!

Oh, the producers at DWTS are loving every minute of this, actually. Have you seen their ads for tonight something about how controversial this season has been, so you won't want to miss the end?

Jimmer, I don't agree. I think Bristol could have said " don't try to cheat to vote for me. I don't appreciate that. and it's a waste of your time anyway."

It seems that there are people voting 5 times on different phone lines which could be considered cheating and therefore a bit hypocritical.

If this was based on dancing talent then Bristol should have been out 4th or 5th ... around the same time as Mike and Karina.

The producers may be winning the battle and pumping this season as controversial... but they are loosing the war in that many true fans feel the show has jumped the shark.

Why is it cheating because I have two cell phones plus a land line phone. Would a person still consider it cheating if I was voting for someone besides Bristol. Every year their are people who consider something wrong with the voting if the dancer has a large voting base. Like a football player having all the NFL fans. A soap opera actor having all the soap opera fans. Etc Etc. If they are voting for Bristol because of who her mother is then what is the big deal. You don't think that Kelly Osbourn didn't get votes because of who her parents are. I remember every time Ozzie or her mother was in the audience they would also show them in the audience.

I think that if Bristol wins, they're gonna be forced to reveal the voting totals from the entire season week by week- maybe they'll have to no matter what happens tonight because of all the controversy...

I think Jennifer has shined all season long. I don't care whether people think she was whining about her injuries or not, it just seems that there has to be something to complain about every contestant.

Kyle, IMO, deserves second. He puts forth so much energy and has taken every single piece of criticism by the judges and tried to make himself better. Such a hard worker and cheerful guy.

Bristol earned her place into the final 3 whether by cheating voters or not. The criteria is judges scores plus a percentage from the votes. She has definitely come from a total non-dancer to a respectable one.

All the others voted out prior to these 3 just didn't have either the judges or the voters to keep them there. That's the way the show goes.

Let's get this show on the road now!!

Anyone want to be spoiled?

All this season's past celebs are there except for Michael Bolton who's performing in London, and Audrina Patridge (awww) who's recuperating from an illness.

I agree Bonbonlover, I didn't watch last season because I didn't like the "stars" and I have hardly seen any of this season.

I find I like having my Monday and Tuesdays for other things so probably won't return unless they have some fantastic group next time.

It is enough to just read about it if I am curiuos, but I don't have to commit any watching time to it.

I don't watch because there are two other shows on at the same time (DVR can only do two). I just rely on TVCH reports about quality. At the beginning I looked on YT (and other sources) for the dances. Then I decided - why bother. I think this show has jumped the shark for me.

Bristol just said something I don't want to misquote, but basically she wants to win to "give the finger" to people who hate her and her mother.


Jennifer busted a disc yesterday but is still going to perform. She'll either be strapped or drugged up (or both) by the doc.

Give the finger. How deplorable.

At least Christiana is on now. I like her, but that movie she's in is supposed to be just awful.
