Bristol: I don't know that anyone who shops a reality show of their life can be called shy. Young and out of her usual life with the people she knows, yes.

None of the celebrity dancing is nearly as good as the professional stuff, the dancing is far better on SYTYCD. On a positive note, they would have to look far and wide for anyone as bad as that guy who did not want to be on years ago and would not even wear dance shoes or rehearse much.

I find any celebrity show not based on fairness, but more on preconceived notions of celebrities. Now if they had a celebrity Amazing Race, that might be something that would be very fair (if they were America known only celebrities). Celebrity Mole, not so much.

Never happen, unfortunately.. I'd love the real mole with AC back.. but he IS going to have his talk show in the fairly near future.

TAR has had semi celebrities and in some cases they WERE recognized and did get some advantage, but then varioius pairs do get advantages when they just pick the right person who will help them alot.

Come to think of it, so far this season of TAR, no one has gotten that sort of custom help in the form of a local coming with them, so perhaps that has been disallowed.

I'm sorry that I offended anyone with my personal dislike for Sarah Palin.

But, as I said, I can judge Bristol completely apart from her mom, and I think that Bristol has really shown some guts, improving week after week.

To Saidiesmom, this isn't "So you think you can dance."

The people on that show are aspiring professional dancers. It is a really unfair comparison.

I was totally prepared, because of my personal bias, to totally trash Bristol.

I was wrong. She is doing an amazing job for a young girl with no professional experience.

I think that if Bristol was not Sarah Palin's daughter, she would have been long gone by now. She is emotionless on the dance floor. Plus I know she's trying to be modest (after all, she is an "activist" of some sort). But really--her outfits are so boring. I don't know if that's her choice or she is telling them that's what she wants.

In any case--I do think the tea party has something to do with this. Just a hunch. I do not think Sarah Palin is mistreated by the "liberal media". If Bristol wins this thing--well that's all i'm saying. That's just my opinion for what its worth. Mods--i am not trying to offend anyone. But if the statement above (that poor Sarah is mistreated...) can be allowed--i think its time for equal time from the crazy liberals out there too!

I follow the Tea Party as well as Sarah Palin on Facebook, receive emails from them as well as Sarah Palin's PAC and never once, during Bristol's time on DWTS, have they posted, suggested, or in any way even mentioned Bristol on DWTS or pushed for her to receive votes. I'm not saying members of the Tea Party haven't voted for her, don't know that, just know that it's not been suggested by the tea party.

PS I don't think liberals are crazy, just...umm...misguided lol

I read an article recently about Bristol on DWTS. Said she requested / was request for her that costumes cover her more than the norm. I enjoy watching her, but often the costumes aren't very attractive. I like what she wore for the team dance.

While the tea party may not officially have anything to do with it--i'm sure that there is a lot of sympathy for them for some apparent reason. But whatever--this is a democracy. Whether the tea party wants to admit it or not. jmo :-). And i don't like to think of myself as misguided. I have a degree in political science. I believe that I know where of i speak.

Last night I thought I had actually come across a long lost movie Jennifer did after Dirty Dancing where she still looked the same. My mistake... it WAS Dirty Dancing. LOL It's amazing seeing what she looked like compared to now. I would never know it was the same person.

I know I thought there were cheesy parts in that movie when I first saw it, but the cheese factor gets stronger with the passing years. Boy Jerry Orbach looked so young!

I've often posted about Bristol's costumes being boring also. While I like her very much, she might want to just let them help her more, as the outfit has a lot to do with how the dancer looks when they are dancing.

Political science, eh? That's what my ultra liberal grandson is going for.

She is not going to win, Shelb...don't worry. She knows she's not going to win and there is no conspiracy to keep her there. She's a heck of a lot better than Kate Gosselin and look how long she stayed past the time people thought she should.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the thread for a dancing show? I think I'm lost... LOL

Just fun'ing around. Anyway, isn't this usually the point where they have to do two new dances each week? I can just see the training segments for Jennifer now -- happy, frustrated, happy, cry, trip, cry, whine, take a break, happy, cry...

Cricket... I think I have "known" you for years as we often post in the same threads. I have always enjoyed your posts. But your last one really made me laugh (at myself). I have always pictured you as a 20-something. Maybe 26-27 years old. And I say that as the utmost compliment... You always seem to be a breath of fresh air and progressive in your thoughts... I am shocked that you could have a grandson... much less one old enough to be going for a degree.

Some posts have been removed. For the last time, let's keep the political discussion in the News & Views area of the board and get back to talking about Dancing With the Stars in this thread. N & V is the perfect area for political discussion. Posts here regarding politics may be considered off-topic and may be removed. Thank you.

Bristol and Mark are going to be on Ellen tomorrow. Maybe we'll learn a little more about her and her dancing then?

Article about Kyle and Lacey discussing the 'twist' of the 'instant dance' (learning a dance but not getting the music until the show has already started).

It all seems a bit silly. Are they learning dances just to a beat? It's not like they're both pros and can improvise, they have to have worked out the entire dance beforehand so why not give them the music?

...then, again, it might be interesting. I imagine the producers have done testing to see if it will work.

Maks said not getting the music before a competition is how the pros have to do it.

Ellen had a good interview with Bristol and Mark. Ellen asked about Levi and his running for mayor. Bristol said he's got to move within the city limits and get his GED. Doesn't even have a high school diploma and he's running for mayor and he's so young that he doesn't even have much real life experience. It shows!!!

Ellen asked some other questions that could be a little touchy. Bristol answered just pretty straight forward.

Well, Maks thought that doing this was silly, but he understands that they want to try new things to keep the show fresh.
