Bristol Palin avoids Dancing with the Stars elimiation yet again

Tonight Dancing with the Stars fans chose to vote off yet another contestant who had the possibility of continuing to a win on Dancing with the Stars. Why? I do not know. Perhaps it was an accident, feeling sorry for an underdog and overlooking a contestant who actually deserved to continue in the competition. Whatever the reason, Bristol Palin survived the elimination to dance once again due to fan support on Dancing with the Stars.

Bristol Palin has consistently landed at the bottom of the leader board on Dancing with the Stars, earning a score that should have had her voted off long before now, yet viewers have cast their votes in her direction, allowing her to stay in the Dancing with the Stars competition. Why? Who knows but this is a dance competition, not a popularity contest. Who cares if she is Sarah Palin's daughter? Does that make her a better dancer? I have watched Palin's performances and conclude it does not.

What is it about Bristol Palin that keeps her in the Dancing with the Stars competition? Why do the Dancing with the Stars fans love her so? Is it because Palin is the underdog? Is it because she is not a 'star'? Is it because Bristol Palin is an unwed teen mother and Dancing with the Stars fans feel sorry for her or is it because Bristol Palin is Sarah Palin's daughter? Well, Palin did not survive elimination yet again due to her dancing abilities.

See Bristol Palin as the contestant on a dance show that she is. Her winning or losing will not reflect on Sarah Palin. Vote for her ability, not her affiliation. There are other Dancing with the Stars contestants who are more qualified for the win than Bristol Palin is...Rick Fox, who was voted off this evening was one, Audrina Patridge who was voted off last week was another, who will it be next week? Brandy? Jennifer Grey?

No, it will be Kurt Warner or Kyle Massey, then perhaps Bristol Palin will get the boot. The Dancing with the Stars 'BOOT' she should have gotten long before now.

I am still flabbergasted that Rick Fox was voted off Dancing with the Stars this evening and Bristol Palin avoided elimination!

    Quit picking on Bristal. You are coming off as a bully. Sounds like you are jealous of her. Don't you do anything but watch t-v? Most of Hollywood has had babies out of wedlock. No one seems to think anything about that.
