Rosem4243, I agree, what did this woman do to anyone? She isn't responsible for the mess the government is in right now, politics should be left at the door, people have to remember, not everyone thinks the same way they do, best to be gracious to everyone.

ITA Bruno doesnt care how anyone feels, however, I think he does care about all this extra camera time!!

ITA that it was just a weird coincidence with the Booing - the tweets, and the fact that Jennifer and derek were confused just fuel for a fire that shouldnt be there - Sarah was a mom, Tom related on a parental front - no need for politics - - imho

Am I correct that the "3" was unprecedented in the history of Dancing with the Stars? I remember some REALLLLLY bad dancers (Master P, anyone?) and I think the lowest ever given previously was a "4". As Tom Bergeron said: "You mean there's a three?!" I think in the future, they should just throw away all the numbers below "4". Four is bad enough for people putting themselves on the line.

If politics were left at the door, then why were they interviewing Sarah Palin at all?? Were any other Mom's, Dad's or spouses interviewed?? Michael Bolton said his Mom was there last night. I would have enjoyed hearing from her.

For that matter if it wasn't for Sarah Palin, why in the world would Bristol be on this show? Her claim to fame is getting knocked up as a teenager. That is a Star? She doesn't act. She doesn't dance or sing. She's never been on any tv show. So could someone tell me again why she is cast as a STAR and on this show???

Sadly Nyer, I think you are right on both counts!

CRAP typed this out earlier and didn't hit post...oh well better late then never!

Once again, Bristol Palin is newsworthy, they want to improve their ratings so they try and get people who will draw an audience, face recognition if you will. I remember they had a rap DJ on who no one ever heard of at all, but that was just great, no problem at all there. If Clinton's daughter were on the show, and Hillary was in the audience, I would expect them to interview Hillary, not for political reasons, but all these people are newsworthy, well known, and have been on numerous shows and covers of magazines. She had a child out of wedlock, so did Brandy, and Brandy was involved in a death while driving ( she, I understand, got off), no throwing stones please, there have been a ton of very, very questionable "stars" on this show, but Bristol Palin is the only one who has had so much negativeness directed at her, such a shame, I mean, what's the problem, are people feeling threatened in some way. Geesh, so much hatred and anger, you have to wonder where this is coming from and why.

Jgalt, take it you didn't read the board last year with the debates about Kate Gosselin. There were FAR more of those, and much more negativity, then about Bristol (and Kate at least has/had her own TV show no matter what you may think of her).

Apparently Steve Wozniak got a 10 score which would seem to mean that two judges used the 3 paddles.

And compared to Michael's 12..


Master P and Ashley scored a 12 and also an 8 (episode 4) in their season..

Steve and Karina scored a 12 and a 10.

Tucker and Elena scored 12 and so did Jeffrey and Edyta as well as Buzz and Ashley.

So Michael getting a 12 is absolutely not without precedent and with scores of 8 and 10 (twice each) that means 3 scores HAVE to have been given and with the 8s, even a 2 score.

Whoever is deemed newsworthy or endearing or a has been is put on this show. I think we should just enjoy Bristol's obvious enjoyment of learning an art. I like seeing her "opening" up and letting it all hang loose. Who better than Mark to show you that? LOL

Lurk-the media and left made her a public figure. "Star" probably isnt the right word but she is more well known than some of DWTS past performers. IMO,Bristol is as plausible as any of the rest of them and deserves to be there.

The problem with the people who the producers think are "stars" is that I don't agree. And because of that, I no longer find the show enjoyable. Last season, with both that Kate woman and the bachelor person was it for me. And this season with that Jersey Shore person and the Palin daughter? This is part of the reason I'm over DWTS, and why I'm also over many of what used to be my fave reality shows. I don't want to watch retreads, I don't want to watch people who think they are famous but aren't. I have to question why DWTS can't get more REAL stars to compete. (And no, I don't agree with Palin or Jersey Shore dude "deserving" to be on the show.)

I am bummed to hear about how rude Bruno was to Bolton though. Even if he was a crummy dancer, he put himself out there didn't he? (Although I didn't see his dance, I'd bet he was just really stiff. I never saw him as someone who would've had the moves, y'know?)

I think they can't get 'real' stars to compete because this is a reality show, and reality shows take the bread and butter out of the mouths of actors and actresses.

They can't get people that have dance experience, because then everyone will rip them apart for putting in a ringer.

So, what's left are singers, and you can't have an entire cast made up of singers, because then it becomes American Idol, except they dance instead of sing.

I guess they could fill the cast with Olympic/Sports stars, but a lot of people won't know who they are, and will say that they are not stars because they are not well known to them.

I like the show no matter who is on, and their standing in the star spectrum has no bearing on my enjoyment of the show.

And, they didn't ask Sarah Palin any political questions, she was there to support her daughter, as any mom would do, and the questions were about dancing.

People must still like DWTS, the ratings are still pretty high.

She seems like a nice kid. People may not like her mother, but she's the one trying to dance on the show, not Mom.

Another famous father was in the audience to support his daughter (Ozzy Osbourne), I think that was last year. Heck, they interviewed him too. So when she shows up to support her daughter, we shouldn't be suprised that they would interview her. If she hadn't come, people would have found fault with that.

I think Bristol is handling all this very well. It can't be easy doing this on national TV, when the 'politcal' media gets involved.

I don't think she'll win, but I am enjoying watching her for as long as she lasts.

Such hangups with whether these people are stars or not. Who gets to decide that anyways? They should have just called it "Dancing With People In The Public Eye" and then there wouldn't be so many people huffing about it.

I enjoy watching people dance. I don't know all of them, but SOMEBODY does and SOMEBODY enjoys them, so I'm all good with that.

I don't like Sarah Palin, but what the heck does she have to do with Bristol's participation? We ALL know who she is, and I think it is fun to watch her evolve. Will she win? No, not a chance. But how sad is it that even if she was the best dancer out there, she couldn't win because people can't separate her from her mother, and that's too bad.

And the Kate Gosselin talk continues... that was last year folks, let it go.

Kelly Osbourne was a joy to watch evolve last season. (She was on Ellen recently. The change has stuck with her.) Same thing is happening to an extent with Bristol. And what a change in Margaret from just first show to second. First show she had to hide behind comedy. Second she found she can just be herself. What an overnight change!

Yes, Michael Bolton was stiff and it was his turn to go... but heck he is not a dancer. I think it is unnecessary for Bruno, and any of the judges for that matter, to be so snarky to these folks. Sometimes their comments just come off as attempts at making soundbites not real constructive criticism. Len was correct that Bruno's comments did not need to be said out loud in public.

I give props to these "stars" for getting out there and giving it a go. Yes, it probably helps them a bit getting their faces out in public again... but heck some people just are not dancers. Maybe the criticism should go to Chelsie for not giving Michael more loosing up techniques... I know she can only work with what she is given, but isn't the premiss of the show that the pros can teach anyone to dance???

I digress.. but just don't think that the really catty mean comments are necessary.

Maybe she does have a chance. She's at the top of the Dial Idol poll this week.

I try to separate Bristol from her mother. Sins of our fathers and all that. I have some compassion for this young girl who was flung into the spotlight while pregnant out of wedlock. As if that hasn't happened before. But in this case it became public fodder. So more power to her, even though I think she looks pretty awkward and uncomfortable out on that dance floor.

Just last WEEK, Tom went into the audience and interviewed Kyle's mom and brother. This is NOT a strange thing for him to do as he did it a lot last year too.

Aurora, I seriously think she's at the top of that poll because people are wanting her to stick around so they can continue to rag on her. Shades of Kate Gosselin's early support last year. Kate had fans (I'm one, but knew that she couldn't dance a lick), but there were the naysayers who wanted her around to mock.

What I like about this show is that I get to know more about people that I normally wouldn't pay much attention to. Sports, media or celebrity. As the weeks go by you kind of get a feel for their personalities. Most are a fish out of water trying to learn something that they haven't done before and then do it live on national TV. This brings out the stress factor because no one want to look like a idiot.

I like a lot of people on the show so far, Brandy is the only one that seems to have a attitude. But, then again I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for a while and see if it continues throughout the competition.

I think the reason we don't see any big stars is because they're too busy being a big star. So we get what we get. It still entertains me, even though I haven't heard of most of them before they came on the show.

Jersey Shore is a popular cable show even if everyone here does not watch it. I have no problem with the stars but I agree with Dillybean who thought Brandy had an attitude.

Aurora, I'm sure you didn't mean it the way it sounded, but the "sins of the father" really goes to the heart of the problem. If someone could explain to me what "sin" Sarah Palin committed, I'd be grateful for the information. If "sin" means she's a Republican, (heaven forbid!)then why don't you just tar and feather her and get it over with. Sarah Palin ran for Vice-President of the United States, she lost, and is, evidently, very vocal in the Republican Party, now let's all get over it, shall we? This whole thing is insane ( much like the present state of affairs in general). Aurora, I agree with you on everything else you said, you're right, let's just watch and enjoy.

I find it interesting that the hatred towards Sarah Palin is coming from a direction of people who believe in forgiveness, acceptance of everyone and everything no matter what they do, and "we are the world, we are the children", I guess the acceptance part is for people who believe the same as you do.

It's wonderful to see so many, Bonbonlover, Dillybean, Aurora, Necie, Hukonreality, Lakecat, Colordeagua, Rosem4243, Shel, and many others, who just want to watch the show and enjoy the wonderful dancing.
