I was curious to read some of the frothing-at-the-mouth opinions about Bristol Palin making it to the finals in Dancing With The Stars. Rarely do I ever venture over to the HuffPo blog, but there is a rant against Bristol over there which shows how upset the liberals are about her success in getting into the finals. If you want to read it, do a search. I do not wish to link to them. At the time I viewed that blog post, there was only one comment that said (paraphrased), "if Bristol wins in DWTS, I will NEVER watch that show again!"
I know how the commentator feels. My husband and I thought that Taylor Hicks didn't deserve to win at American Idol.
Another blogger likened Bristol to the competitor named Sanjaya a few years back on American Idol. Perhaps all the teeny-boppers across the U.S.A. kept him in the running.
I must admit, I thought that Palin was going to be eliminated last night. Brandy deserved to be in the final (and I thought that she was going to end up the winner) more so than all three who are now in the final. But this contest includes what the judges think and how they vote, as well as what the audience thinks and how they vote.
I do recall Brandy being very nasty to her dance partner in the beginning weeks of the show. During the clips of her dance rehearsals, the censors needed to bleep out her curse words. I'm sure that both her nastiness towards Maks, her hissy fit walk-out during rehearsals, as well as her cursing didn't endear her to people who were not already fans.
IMHO, Jennifer Gray is a professional dancer. She appeared in "Dirty Dancing" many years ago with Patrick Swayze. Swayze was a pro - and he taught her the moves during the filming. I didn't think it was fair for her to be in the contest to begin with.
IMHO, either Bristol Palin or Kyle Massey should win. Why? Because wasn't the concept of this show to take someone with little or no experience in dance and teach them to blossom into a performer worthy of receiving that mirror ball trophy?
