I don't like the comments that Bristol and her sister made...one would think they would have learned to curb their natural teenage snarkiness in light of their mother's career as a politician. If my daughter puts anything remotely inappropriate on Facebook she is asked to take it off...and if one of her friends has a comment on their page that is on my daughter's Facebook page I tell her that she needs to delete it. She thinks I'm a kook and I probably am, but that's just how I roll. These things stay around forever, and I also want her to realize that perception of who she is and who she is friends with starts early and if you allow people to curse or use derogatory language and have it on your that will rub off on you. She's only 13 but there's no time like the present. I'm not a public figure by any means but her actions reflect on me just as my actions reflect on her.

Brandy's "I deserve to win" -- that is a vote killer.

Here is an old interview from September that Patrick Swayze's wife did. Lisa Niemi is/was a professional dancer.

QUOTE:
Says Niemi, “Jennifer is a very unique individual and she looks like dynamite. I’m sure some people thought Jennifer had all this dance training, which she hasn’t, but she has a lot of natural abilities. Coupled with her acting abilities, she’s a unique personality. She has a lot to bring to the show.”

Roxip, my 24 yr-old daughter uses language on FB that I deem inappropriate, f-bombs specifically, and while I can't demand she remove it, I definitely tell her I don't approve of it. I tell her "I can't believe you kiss your mother with that mouth." lol

I haven't read the comments the Palin gals made; however, it was stated on a TV show they were made by Willow in response to negative comments about her mother's "Alaska" show.

Bristol apologized for the comments today. While they are both teenagers to a point, they do need to realize everything they post will be scrutizined thoroughly and possibly twisted, so they'd best rant privately and post when they cool down, lol.

Ms. Palin is said to be a "role model" who gets paid $15,000 per appearance to give speeches to other young women about pregnancy prevention, abstinence, faith and life.

She might want to stop using Facebook for awhile :-)

The words that the Palin girls used should never EVER be used, in public or in private. Whether they were in response to negative postings about her mother's show is irrelevant. The fact that those words were even in their minds is appalling.

I feel the same way about the language these girls used. They should be ashamed of themselves. However, I work in a high school and this type of language is more than the norm. I doubt I will ever get used to the lack of respect.

Maybe they should "abstain" from using that language.

ummm, Bristol is a "role model"? Excuse me--she got pregnant when she was not married. And a teenager. I have two daughters who are much better role models. And they don't get paid the big bucks.

So i would much rather have my two daughters as MY role models and leave Bristol behind. There is now talk that there have been robocalls and texting,etc made on behalf of Bristol. So..maybe i'm not that far off, huh? (this was on GMA this morning btw).

The 16 yr old is the one who used the word F****T,Bristol just said to stop talking chit about her family.Bristol should have stayed out of it, but she was defending her family.

I realize that, but as daughters of a politician they should know by now that they are under a microscope and that everything they do reflects back to their mother.

I don't know if Bristol would be considered a role model, but she certainly has a message to bring to young girls about what the consequences of premarital sex, especially unprotected premarital sex, are. In that regard I think she is legitimate.

Shelb, I agree. The role models we should aspire to emulate or show as an example to our children are the ones that are actually living the lifestyle that they espouse.

i can't see that bristol is a role model.
she is reaping the benefits of a celebrity unwed mother. what has she done that is a shining example of young womanhood.
and her "message" is "hey, look at all the attention and money that you could make if you had a baby and a famous parent at the same time".
she is making "unwed parenthood" glamorous.

Wow, what an interpretation! It is not Bristol's fault who her mother is, so holding that against her isn't fair.

Jane Doe, Miss "Normal" American pregnant unwed mother will never have the opportunity to do major public speaking events in hopes of swaying other young women to abstain from premarital sex and unplanned pregnancies. Again, it is unfair to put Bristol down because she has the opportunity afforded the daughter of a public figure.

Originally, Bristol's father was offered DWTS and turned it down. They offered it to her and she accepted. Every person who participates gets paid. Again, what part of this is Bristol's "fault" or why is she deserving of being put down?

Bristol Palin is being held to standards that apparently must be significantly higher than other young people. <99>

Excellent post Hukdon. I know you are not a Sarah fan and I appreciate that you can separate the two.
Bristol was pushed through the mud by the left/media, she should milk her noterity for everything its worth.If you cant beat them,might as well join them.

In the final show - does the judges eliminate one of the 3? or is it all america's vote?

No, I'm not a fan of Bristol's mother, lol. But Bristol has impressed me all year on DWTS! I don't think she should have ever made it to final 3, but it is what it is. My vote would go to Jennifer and Derek because they're clearly a cut above, IMO.

It has been a blast to watch Kyle, but I prefer more graceful dancers and he sort of "lumbers" at time for lack of a better way of describing him.

Kyle doesn't have a dancer's body. But he truly tries -- while still having fun. He has done a good job this season.

again, i apologize if it seems as though i am "slamming" bristol palin.
again, i have to state that i know the life that she really lives back in alaska does not represent a abstinence lifesytle. i have visited my friends from anchorage twice in the last 6 months. i saw one of them 3 weeks ago.
they know the palins, they know bristol.
it is the hypocrisy of the situation that galls me.

i think that each of you would share the same information on any of the contestants if you were in my position.
simply put: the bristol that you are seeing is a well packaged result of a media machine.
and it's working quite well.
the only inkling that any of you have as to the nature of all of the palin children is the facebook posting.

and, lakecat, can you show me one instance where the "leftest media" wrote one thing about bristol.
on the contrary, she was pushed forward by her mother, shown on the cover of people magazine, sold her own stories to various publications...please, please, show me where someone (other than the alaskan bloggers who knew the family well) drug her through anything.

last note:

my dh tells me that when i think there is an injustice, i will grab on to it like a chihuahua does to a pants leg.
i agree.
i also know that this is an entertainment thread where i need not latch on.
tvch was a lifeline to me during a serious illness a few years ago. it gave me a place to communicate with other folk about television, entertainment, and later "news and views".
in my everyday life, i was bedbound and isolated. i've made friends here and i want to keep them (pamy, seamonkey,et al).
so i'm going to bow out of this thread, lurk, ponder, but keep my fingers from retorting.
i do hope that each of your favorites has an honest chance to win this thing.

It'll be interesting to see next weeks dances, judges scores and then the results show.

The entire teapartybritol-gate is most amusing.

I can't wait to see Kyle's freestyle dance....well I'm actually looking forward to seeing all the final dances. I was rooting for Bristol to stay for several weeks because I thought see was pretty darn good for having no experience. I didn't agree with the last set of voting though. It was just too close to the end to not have the best dancers in the finals. But so be it.

The political aspect of this alleged fraudulent voting is comical. I don't think anyone even Bristol herself thinks she is a better dancer than Brandy. The show is a popularity contest as much as it is a dance contest. And there have been fraudulent voting techniques used since the beginning of these type shows...so the cheating aspect is almost expected.
