oh hell, I don't even watch DWTS but think I'm going to have to just to vote for Bristol I LOVE it when Whoopie and Behr-face lose their minds
I didn't watch this show until 4 years ago. I had no interest in seeing a contest/reality show (eg, I've never seen American Idol); I’d pretty much taken an elitist “it’s all garbage†view of these shows (this, admittedly, from a guy who thinks Man v. Food is must-see tv). I started watching it to make Mrs. Godot happy--there's little in common in our tv-watching habits; she’s a lotta Lifetime, I’m a lotta Chiller and Science Channel. To my surprise, I started to become interested in spite of myself. The antics of the judges were really very funny, and I gradually realized that there really is quite a lot more low-brow tv fare than exhibitions of ballroom dancing.
I think Tom DeLay could have made it a lot further, too, two seasons back, because so many conservatives were voting for him (I was), but he had those toe injuries. Naturally, someone his age really couldn't win, but he was improving, and I thought he had pretty good timing and footwork, and was surprisingly adept at some complex choreography. He needed to unstiffen at the waist and move his upper body more, but he was getting better.
Well, I’m digressing, but, in fact, I stopped voting for Bristol Palin after the second week—I stopped voting altogether (this season is weak). NOW, I’m back on the Bristol bandwagon, seeing as it’s driving a third of the people who live their freaking lives through this show and post to the DWTS boards out of their minds; and now that it’s causing the woman with the Goebbels glasses and her buttkissing fat cow suckup to plumb for even greater depths of pettiness, I’m voting for her until the end. This is more fun than I’ve had with this show in at least 2 years, and is adding some fun to what was a pretty limp season, too.
Like Hwood affirms, she just can’t dance—on top of no technique, her timing is actually getting worse—but at this point, who cares? I just know this is FUN.
I read some posts to the DWTS boards where some took the tack of “are you Tea Partiers really doing Bristol Palin a favor by voting for her?†Well, YEAH, considering she just got to cash another 20-grand check. But it’s not about doing her a favor—it’s about provoking this nuttiness from the libs. This is just too delicious.
Oh, and yes, she’s a peach alright—very cute, and great legs. Needs to shed a few pounds, but
great legs. Runs in the family, no doubt.
