And thus, Armageddon was avoided. God is good.

ABC had problems with the fans voting last night!

It was great for Bristol, anyway!

I never got through on the phone to vote for Bristol.
Always a busy signal…….from after last nights show right up to this morning.

The girl didn’t deserve to be in the finals, the only reason they kept her was ratings. So many other dancers were better and worked so much harder Although, she came out with a wad of cash, which is what is most important to that family. What she said tonight in the lead up to the finals shows just how the Palins think and how classless they are–”-I want to win because it would be a big middle finger to the people that don’t like me”!! Such class & dignity, of course she learned from the best ,now didn’t she? She had a big voting block, but not enough to take her over the top–just like her Mother will be in 2012.

Just the fact that your headline reads ‘BRISTOL PALIN FINISHES THIRD’ and not ‘JENNIFER GREY FINISHES FIRST’ tells me who really won. Bristol proved herself to be the true STAR of this DWTS and showed more class than all the rest put together (along with Kyle). Sadly for Mediahate and all the other left wing garbage spewers, you did nothing to diminish her success.

In my book, Bristol Palin actually won.

She didn’t win the competition but she did win a place in every progressive’s mind that drove tham absolutely insane and caused some to become unhinged. We had threats of violence, mysterious white powder and one poor sap even shot his TV.

I did not watch one minute of DWTS nor do I plan to but you are a winner, Bristol. Thank you.

She did lose and she came in behind the black guy, just like her mama!

Now go ahead, release the crack heads and their unhinged caps!

Excellent Roxsteady, I wish I would have thought of that!! You’ve got to love the truth, and she will come in behind the black guy in 2012!!

The Freepers should still pleased with this result. They influenced the results of a competition and were able to knowingly eliminate many dancers who were more talented, skilled and deserving—all in the name of politics.

There are THAT many Freepers?

A more accurate summation would be that the public has responded to her mother’s charisma.

Let me suggest a new definition of garbage spew… Pretending that a single mother abstinence advocate of few years famous for birth from an odd and unpopular self promoting pretender is relevant beyond admiration resultant a fractional clan of reactionary America Haters is deserving of victory in a public skill competition despite a decided lack of said skill simply because a lack of victory is evidence of hatred of those who admire dedication to solid standards over reactionary adoration of aberrant personality.

We all win here.No more DWTS for a while.
A toast to all ya’ lads out there:)

Racists judge skin color and ethnicity, not notice.

She looked relieved. Aren’t we all? She nearly sunk the show.

WHALE ON THE BEACH!!! WHALE ON THE BEACH!!!!

Racists also notice and mention skin color and ethnicity when it is not relevant. Unless you are providing a physical description, it is not relevant. To note someone’s skin color for NO REASON is racist. Libs like you have made these rules…now live by them.

Thank god it’s over…now maybe the Palin haters will stop the death threats against a stupid dancing show.

Couldnt tell if that was dancing or shamoo gorging on a dead seal

ha ha not death threats,.,thought you meant hating,.,. btw how can you make a death threat against a dancing show?

CONTROVERSIAL????
Give me a break!
Bristol Palin is only controversial in the eyes of liberal media types like Mediaite.
No other sane person would write such garbage.
You can go back to hating Sarah Palin but leave her kids out of your politics.

that dress makes her thighs look fat too.

Looks like we now know who it was making those threats against Bristol Palin. Forwarded to law enforcement and the cyberpolice….
Their backtracking v2.0 software should soon produce a suspect to go with the above confession.
Consequences will never be the same.

Thank God that is over. Sarah should tell her kids to cool it and keep a lower profile.

Isn’t Bristol the same kid who just got knocked up by a weirdo kid who is now making a complete joke of the family. This is the main reason as much as many might like Palin she is not electable. Too much hair around her family.

ABC must have corrected the flawed voting system that allowed Bristol Palin to get that far.

Remember, the most important thing isn’t who wins and who loses….the most important thing is that Bristol cries.

The best dancer won anyways so you palin bitchers can stop beating this non issue. .other than bristol showing alot of class i thought tom bergeron did a tremendous job representing the show and his defense some what of bristol. ..Your a good man tom thanks. ..i guess Hollywood is not entirely evil

I thought she only got that far because the racist Tea Partiers were cheating. Did they forget to cheat in the voting last night?

It sorta reminds me of how Republicans stole the 2000 and 2004 elections, but then somehow forgot their old tricks in 2008.

Republicans steal every election, except when they don’t.

“Controversial Dancing With The Stars contestant Bristol Palin . . .”

It’s difficult for me to conceive of a more damning indictment of the Left. The fact that a teenager dancing on a dance contest can be deemed “controversial” without a hint of irony says everything you need to know about the modern Progressive movement.

I agree that it was a shame that ABC did not correct the flaws in their voting system until the very end “due to public outcry.” Looking at the big picture, it does look like the LSM (CBS) took advantage of Tea Partiers allowing them to manipulate the system until it came down to when it really counted, I suppose they are indeed a gullible group. 23 million?? 3 million of those must have been Sarah Palin supporters.

Actually there was some talk from the producers that they ironed out the glitch that allowed for multiple voting from fake emails.

And don’t get so excited about this…“Controversial Dancing With The Stars contestant Bristol Palin . . .”

Sanjay was controversial, Richard Hatch was controversial, Doctor Will was controversial, Adam Lambert was controversial….Reality Shows breed controversial stars, it’s what gets them the ratings. It’s not “a..damning indictment of the left”. lolol

First, I did not hear any talk that they “ironed out the glitch.” To the contrary, what I consistently heard from the producers is that there was no glitch, and that the claims of cheating were always mythical.

Second, Sanjay, Hatch, Doctor Will, and Adam Lambert all went out of their way to be controversial. That was their “game” and claim to fame. Bristol is a meek, shy, and completely unoffensive 19 year-old.

The only controversy about Bristol is her last name. If her last name were Smith, she wouldn’t be controversial. If her last name were Kennedy or Clinton or Cuomo, she would be sainted.

If her last name was Smith, she would have never been on the show.

I’m guarantee you the young Bristol was second choice to former V.P. candidate S. Palin.

There was no glitch. The problems that ABC admitted to experiencing were over loaded phone lines, which left people unable to get through.

But they have systems in place (IP checkers) to prevent people from voting multiple times online.

There were tons of *Vote Jennifer Grey* campaigns online:
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/threatening-letter-white-powder-forced-evacuation-at-dancing-with-the-stars/#comment-222274

And check out this article from Ann Althouse, about Sally Quinn, and her multiple voting hypocrisy.

Sally Quinn — who says “Dancing is my religion” — denounces Bristol Palin’s success on “Dancing with the Stars” as “unholy.”

And this strangely sanctimonious journalist — she’s writing in the always awful “On Faith” section of The Washington Post — condemns Palin voters for “cheating” 7 paragraphs after she confesses to doing something that is at least as much cheating as what the Palin fans are said to be doing.

My husband and I are “DWTS” fanatics. We plan our social life around it, often regretting invitations that fall on the night of the show….

Ridiculous!

Not only that, but I vote. Under the show’s rules, you’re allowed to vote five times on one line. I have six lines at home and my cell, so I vote as many times as I can for my favorite.

So this lady, this longtime Washington powerbroker, has 6 phone lines, and she maxes each line out, each week, voting 30 times. But that’s the show’s rules. They can’t tell how many individuals vote are voting. They can only see phone numbers. So if your family of 5 watches the show and you — you economic losers — only have one phone, you can make 5 calls. Sally Quinn happens to have 6 phone lines, so she gets 30 votes — under the rules.

This season, I’m voting for Jennifer Grey all the way. She is by far the best dancer on the show.

http://althouse.blogspot.com/2010/11/sally-quinn-who-says-dancing-is-my.html

According to MSNBC, the ABC network that airs Dancing with the Stars, admitted Tuesday that there were problems with the voting Monday night after the final round of competition. A record number of calls and online votes apparently jammed the system, resulting in many votes not being able to be counted.

The network claims the problem affected all three finalists “equally” and was “quickly addressed.” There was no extension of voting time by phone or online to address the problem.

If people were cheating to help Bristol, she would have won. If Brandy was so GREAT and should have been in the final and Kyle Massey wouldn’t have beat her.

This *controversy* was about hate for the Palins and nothing else. Unhinged, psychotic, incomprehensible hate for the Palins. And this just proved how insane these people truly are.

I was actually hoping for Kyle to win, and Bristol in second place. Big whoop – Jennifer won. They could have just handed her the mirror ball the first night…. At least Bristol and Kyle didn’t throw diva-like crying tantrums every single week.

If Brandy was so GREAT and should have been in the final, Kyle Massey wouldn’t have beat her.

Fact: I’ll get my wife back!

Dayam…you Righty’s are all bent out of shape about her loss!!!!

That makes it all worth while. lol

No worries…she still has The Apprentice, The Amazing Race, The Biggest Loser, I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here and Dr Drew’s Celebrity Rehab to go through.

And then maybe American Idol. You know what they say…..”It Ain’t Over Til The Fat Lady Sings!!”

The Tea Party folks didn’t show up to vote, or maybe they are not just enough of them, as they would let us beleive they are the majority. I hope they have their own Presidential nominee.

What a brazen generalization, Finch. Would never expect that from you. Biggest haters in the world? Like those “haters” who passed anti-nepotism laws after Kennedy appointed his brother attorney-general? Or those “haters who limited presidential terms after a democrat kept winning? That’s laughable. What about the “haters” who were urging people to vote for her to “make leftist heads explode”? Let’s be 100% honest here; if this were about skill, not name recognition, Palin would never have made it as far as she did, she wouldn’t have been kept while a dancer with a perfect score went home. Personally, I could care less, but I just don’t like bullshit.

Big_F-ing_Deal said:

I think everybody picked up on that with his first post. He’s not even able to differentiate between his many accounts anymore.

By advancing as far as she did in this competition, Bristol Palin provided everyone with yet another look at how easily liberals experience a meltdown. Following on the heels of November 2, which created its own wonderful liberal tailspin, the fun never stops.

@Just4thefax

Well, it’s over now.

I’ve never watched the first episode of DWTS ever, but Bristol must have made for a riveting season.

Fans of her mother got to root for her and liberal feminists got to call her a fat whore cheater.

A good time was had by all.

Isn’t it a little early to be hitting the crack pipe, BFD?

the cream always rises to the top….jennifer and derek were the best and they deserved to win…bristol pallin is not a star and she never should have been on the show under the pretext of stardom….she had a baby out of wedlock because she was bored..she used an audience of 20 million to promote herself, as what?? a teen activist??..she is not a teen she is 20yrs old….she did okay, but brandy deserved to be in the final not her…nobody hates her..we just dilike her hypocrite mammy………………..

Bristol seems like a sweet kid. Maybe the nicest in the family. I never watch DWTS so have no clue how it works. If she was the star well then I would say they stretched the defination of star and was only on their because of her last name. I can’t believe that you grown men on here are having a field day with this DWTS show.

Don’t take it personally its just fact.

Sadly for Mediahate and all the other left wing garbage spewers, you did nothing to diminish her success.

I imagine comments like this will be in history books, next to pictures of Sarah Palin and her embarrassing 2012 run for president…. and in the future, people will laugh and say “why did people support her? she didn’t know what she was doing.. and how does her daughter winning a fake dancing competition make her a better candidate?”

Then the teacher will turn and say… in hard times, people tend to gravitate those they feel safest in the presence of, so for the southern people, a kindly old milf could do no wrong. She could say whatever she wanted and the dull and the dim would follow her off a cliff.

and all the students will sit thinking “there’s no way I would ever have supported that idiot” but some of them would have cause it’s just human nature -_-

I couldn’t have cared less whether Bristol won or lost. But the fact that our left wing posters are all ‘dancing’ with glee over her loss, as if it actually made a difference in their lives, proves that Sarah still gets their panties in a bunch. Now that’s entertainment.

Jon Martin evidently believes that Alaska is a southern state.

What this show has done is bring the Palin’s into the pop-culture spotlight even further. So, now they have status outside of the political realm. Those who only vote every so often are now going to be familiar with the family and there will clearly be some appeal there. She could very well win the GOP nomination on popularity alone..outside of that is the real test for her.

I, personally, think she would try to push a theocratic agenda….sorry, but God doesn’t want you following his message because the law says you must.

I especially like how their teenage daughter exposed their bile.

In the civil war the norht went to war with the south because the south believed that slavery was acceptable. I would wager that there are a lot of people in the south that still think that. The north? probably a few people but in the South TONS of people. We may, some day have to go to war with the South again. I wonder what the reason will be this time though.

Can we exclude the southern states that went for Obama, or do we have to fight all of them?

Hi George. I love how easy it is to get you all excited. You go guy!

I haven’t read one of your comments, I never do. I am looking at this as a person who loves “dancing”..A dancer, she is not, I don’t care who she is related to, it never matters to me WHO the dancer is..if you can’t dance, you shouldn’t be on the show. We all know it was merely publicity for Palin..I feel sorry that she used her daughter to gain popularity with the young voters. This young? lady was too heavy, clumsy, did not understand her moves, was mismatched with the young man, wore a ridiculous outfit..and there were so many negatives, I actually feel sorry that she made such a fool of herself..believe me, others have to..I wouldn’t be shocked if you see Betty White doing the twist next..”Dancing with the Stars” is no longer the talented show it first was, it is now more of a burlesque show than anything else, girls with their false boobs jumping out, huge wigs, face lifts..eyelashes a foot long…no!..that’s not a show about dancing talent..it’s porn!

i believe Bristol was wrong when she says that her mother and herself are hated,
and she called her non-supporters HATERS. Are they now?or are we just dance critics? If no one can
complain about what they view as lack of dance, then it is not a
free society after all. Not everyone will love Bristol and she has to
get t…hat, i believe people are free to choose whom they love and that is called freedom.
In this world there are fans and nonfans. There are those who vote for
the best dancer and those who vote for the best personality and those
who vote for politics, but those who vote for dancers are the best
voters, and because of them, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ maintains its
credibility. Sorry Bristol, things are earned and it is nothing personal
that you did not win the trophy. you just were not the best dancer is all.
