Bristol Palin Advances To Dancing With The Stars Finale—Thanks To The Tea Party?

» 65 comments

Bristol Palin Mark BallasDespite landing at the bottom of the leader board four times this season, Alaska’s abstinence-loving former First Daughter (and Mark Ballas, her dance partner) has managed to waltz her way into the finale of Dancing With the Stars. Tonight, it was revealed that Bristol and Mark beat out third-place finishers Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy— even though one of the singer’s dances was awarded a perfect score on Monday. Palin, by comparison, has never garnered a perfect 30.

This relatively shocking development—well, for Dancing fans, at least—might be evidence that some viewers have been voting for Palin because of who her mother is, rather than because of her ballroom skills. For weeks now, conspiracy theorists have been accusing Tea Party supporters of gaming DWTS‘s voting system to ensure that Palin doesn’t get eliminated. The craziest thing about this accusation? It might not be off-base.

Earlier today, Tracie Egan Morrissey of Jezebel took a closer look at conservative message boards, where posters reveal that they’ve been exploiting a glitch on ABC’s website that allows Dancing viewers to cast unlimited votes via email. Here’s some of what Egan Morrissey found:

Here’s a hint: They don’t have to be VALID email addresses to register them with ABC.com, there is apparently no validation process. The just have to be formatted like a valid email address, and you must use a valid zip code and a birthdate that makes you old enough to vote. I’m voting like a democrat, all night long…

No, it doesn’t have to be a valid email address – I had one of my anonymous ones XXX@yahoo.com that I used, and then just did the sign-up process all over again with XXX1@yahoo.com and it worked.

Got my 80 votes in online…took 2 hours. I am beat

I only got 42 in, I have some catching up to do!

Lord have mercy, I voted for 3 hours online! I got 300 in.

If Palin somehow comes out on top next week, when she’ll be dancing against season MVP Jennifer Grey—the recipient of numerous perfect scores—then we might know for sure that something fishy is going on. Then again, considering all that’s at stake in this competition is a tacky mirror-ball trophy, it doesn’t exactly matter who wins. Right? Right?

    “Alaska’s abstinence-loving former First Daughter” – You do know that this phrase sets the tone of your entire article. Right? Right?

    “Jennifer Grey—the recipient of numerous perfect scores”

    “Then again, considering all that’s at stake in this competition is a tacky mirror-ball trophy, it doesn’t exactly matter who wins.”

    It apparently matters to you Hillary

    Bristol is a role model for young social conservatives everywhere. And her sister Willow isn’t to shabby either, as her recent Facebook postings demonstrate.

    This is an interesting theory and everyone loves a good conspiracy theory.    

  • timcajun

    Palin has done better than most thought she would. Good job! I don’t think Moma forced the tea party to do this stunt. They just acted on their own, sure its legal, but fair?

    Hillary, you have a problem.

    So…vote spam based on ideological preferences. That is just awful.

    Ya really think only one side knows about this?
    IF it’s true, ABC has really been sleeping, Address verification is not rocket science.
    So let’s say they put in the address verification. What happens with the results?
    Nothing.
    As I said; Ya really think only one side knows about this?

  • TonyClifton

    You give the Tea Party too much credit. This is obviously the work of Freemasons and other high-ranking members of the Illuminati.

    Seriously Hillary, what a bitter wicked witch …
    your venom & hate glaring…
    What is wrong w/u lefties

  • Michael_T

    I predict DWTS will be shamed into making changes in their voting methods such as email address verification and even robo-call detection if robo calls were actually employed. This has to be a real embarrassment for ABC.

    How can a couple whose scores from the judges put them last four times still be in the competition? I could understand if it was once or twice?

    What really surprises me is unlike her mother the dance-challenged Bristol doesn’t even have much of a personality with that flat affect and humorless demeanor free of any discernible joy or happiness. Not to single out Bristol b/c Jennifer Grey also has a flat affect, but at least she can dance.

    Would I feel the same way if it was a Clinton or Obama daughter … or Meghan McCain? Absolutely.

  • Noe Schitt

    ( YAWN) Who cares…

  • philipjames

    Gee…. multiple voting not done by ACORN, CAIR or LA RAZA…. what is going on? This is unfair.
    How dare the Conservatives figure out how the liberals do it and do the same thing?

    Idiots…. you think that the fans for Kyle, Jennifer, Brandy, etc. were not mulitple voting? If you say no then you are really saying that their fans are too stupid to figure it out. Now, I know a lot of liberals have addled brains, but some of them are really smart (they figured out too rig elections and get Obama elected after all).

    If you don’t like it, then you go and spend a few hours voting for Jennifer or Kyle (I don’t mind if Kyle wins as he really is good and I think he is having fun with it all and seems a really nice guy). Jennifer not so much… wants it too bad.

    Blame ABC, not Bristol and her fans. All they are doing is voting.

    On Conservatives4Palin, they rally the troops every week to vote for Bristol whether they watched the show or not. Some brag about voting 240 times each. They call it ACORN voting. Hilarious! I call it C4P voting. But whatever. You’d think it would be embarrassing for Bristol to realize that she’s winning because the Tea Party worships her mother, not because she’s talented or anything. Sooner or later, she’ll get married and won’t be able to coast on the whole unwed teen-age mom shtick.

    The best part is that Palin’s upcoming book includes a section in which she is sarcastic about young people appearing on American Idol and then adds: “Chalk some of them up as victims of the cult of self-esteem. No one they have encountered in their lives – from their parents to their teachers to their president – wanted them to feel bad by hearing the truth. So they grew up convinced that they could become big pop stars like Michael Jackson. On American Idol, of course, these self-esteem-enhanced but talent deprived performers eventually learn the truth.”

    No one has ever accused a Palin of being crippled by self-awareness. Fortunately, Bristol has been protected from the truth: She’s a bad dancer.

  • sarainitaly

    Gee….people whining because people are voting for Bristol! Big surprise! You should read the hate filled screeds on msnbc.com. Some nasty nasty people over there attacking Bristol.

    If DWTS didn’t want people to win because of their popular vote, then they shouldn’t open up the competition to the public. So…Bristol isn’t allowed to have her fans vote for her? You don’t think just because someone like her mother, they can’t like her as well? Brandy has a fan base, Grey has a fan base, the athletes have fans, Kyle Massey has fans. They are all voting for their favorites, regardless of their talent – Bristol isn’t allowed fans on her side, too?

    Bristol is constantly complemented by the judges, and has absolutely no dancing experience. She is competing against Jennifer Grey and Brandy – two dancers/professional performers.

    If people are whining because Bristol is not as good as those two, well yea, but she didn’t start out where they did, either. If it were based on skill alone they could have handed Grey the trophy on the first night. This isn’t the first time fan favs beat out the more talented dancer.

    People on the forum (I just looked for the first time – lovely people there…) are emailing abc trying to get them to eliminate the fake addresses, and do a recount to get Bristol kicked off. Like this has never happened before? Please. And they are actually taking the time to protest? haha I love me some DWTS, I love dancing and we have the show here, too. but COME on….

    Personally I would rather see Kyle Massey or Bristol win than the two prima donnas that throw diva level drama every week.

    from the forum:
    “You are wrong about Bristol’s fans. I gave her half my votes each week because she deserved them. Perhaps if there were better celebrities up against Bristol we wouldn’t be in this predicament (so to speak.) Each week, I gave her my votes, but when Audrina was gone, I really didn’t feel anyone else did great, except for maybe Kyle. Brandy was a b i t ch and Jennifer complained sooo much and she seemed to conceited I just couldn’t give her my vote.”

    (OK, I am getting sucked into that forum – the level of outrage and hate is unbelievable….but there are tons of people supporting Bristol, and Kyle, over Jennifer and Brandy – for being real non-dancers that learned a lot,and impressed the public.)

    And what do you know – the race card! LOL!

    You can remove and delete comments ABC…, but the fact still exists. Racism is sill alive. One day America will have to face it’s demons. Heaven, for sure, will consist of people of all dialects.
    TeaParty activist consisting of white,paranoid, fearbased, Palin followers are have chosen to vote for Bristol in an effort to advance their campaign for so call justice. And you sweep it under the rug for ratings???The hipocrisy that suggests that they stand for freedom, and fairness is questionable, when any fair-minded person can see that Brandy and Jennifer are the best dancers on the show.Brandy should not have left, nor should Rick have left.Although, Kyle is still there, the element of racism exists simply based on the teaparty swayed the votes.

    Now HuffPO and others are attacking Willow who lashed out at people who were attacking Bristol and her family on FB. They are posting screen grabs of Willow’s FB page… Insanity.

    PDS is unbelievable. And they call the tea partiers hatefilled. HA!

    I agree that Willow gets a break for her offensive language and attitude due to her age but I also believe that the Clinton and Obama daughters wouldn’t need such a break.

    They were raised better than that.

    I’m pretty sure you meant “complimented”. “Complemented” means to fill up or to complete, as in “For a more formal evening event, a silk scarf complements the ensemble.” By contrast, “compliment” means to express praise or adoration, as in “Gordon’s mother complimented him for having put on clean underwear.” From time-to-time, “compliment” may be used to express sarcasm, as in “The judges complimented Brisket on her technique, noting that no audience has been treated to such a fine performance since Anna Pavlova retired from the stage.” To further explain the contrast with” complement”, note: “A vinegary potato salad complemented the tender brisket at a post performance dinner to honor Brisket.”

    And it amazes me that they don’t realize how incredibly rude and hurtful that is to Bristol. The full weight of the liberal MSM is coming down on her, saying the ONLY reason she is there is because of her mom. Is that not bullying? And you’re right – it just proves how sick and twisted they really are.

    I just spent (WAY too much) time reading the DWTS forum and many people voted for her because she had NO experience and is doing great, and they like her.

    Like I said before – if they don’t want people to vote for their favorites, they shouldn’t open it up to public voting. And this isn’t the first time fan favs have beat out more talented dancers.

    What a bunch of pathetic small minded haters! I would NEVER wish that kind of hate on the Obama girls.

    You need to hit the Bean-o big time, Tumbleweed. Seldom has such much gas been emitted in one post. A dose of reality: Brisket is an ordinary, not-too-bright, not-too-attractive young woman. Like thousands of other young American women, she had to poor judgment to take up with a piece of trash, got herself knocked up without the benefit of marriage, dropped out of school (returning under some odd Alaskan program that spews out diplomas without any evidence of education. Not the worst young lady around, not the best. “But-for” her Mother and her Mother’s slavish, Baal-worshipping devotees, Brisket would be sprawled on a tattered and stinking sofa in some trailer park wondering if she had enough food stamps left to pick up a couple of frozen turkey dinners for Thanksgiving and if she might do better in the new year if she got knocked up again. Let’s not turn her into some saint or some role model for young women. You do a terrible, terrible disservice to all of the young American women who do the right thing, who don’t get knocked up outside of marriage, who work hard in school, who suffer through tedious part-time jobs to get a college education. You ought to be focusing on these accomplished young American ladies and be thankful for their contributions instead of belching and burping about this but-for momma nowhere girl. Again, you do a terrible, terrible disservice to good and decent, driven, motivated, hard-working young American women all over our country. And, DWTS does our nation a disservice as well hurling Brisket and her ilk into our living rooms. Shame on both of you for disparaging these young women.

    WHY ARE PEOPLE QUESTIONING BRISTOL’S FANS VOTING HUNDREDS OF TIMES EACH THAT’S NOT FAIR I BLAME THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA !!!

    I’m pretty sure it was Herbert Hoover who said his dream for each American was “A car in every driveway, a chicken in every pot, and a couple of hundred votes for Bristol Palin.”

    Finally that dream has been achieved.

    You are, without a doubt, the most disgusting individual here.

    Bristol Palin has made some unfortunate decisions, yes, but let’s commend her for having the child and leave her mother out of it.

    By the way, she’ll win this competition because of the vitriol hurled at her. Vitriol like juvenile name-calling: see “Brisket.” Is she the best contestant on the show, no, not even close. Can she dance better than every commenter on this board? Absolutely. Bristol is America. Sorry to break it to you all, but her life, her weight, her circumstances are reflective of a majority of young women and their families. Leave her alone.

    Actually Palin represents what this show, Dancing With The Stars started as. A non-dancer paired with a professional. But the show turned into a fake of what it is supposed to be. FOr years it has put up dancers with the professional dancers Pussy Cat Dolls dancer. Jennifer Gray? Who did an iconic movie about DANCING!

    Maybe people are voting for Palin based on that fact – she is not a dancer, works hard and has gotten better. People CAN relate to that. Just think Plain is making the show be what it was billed as and veered off – for ratings.

  • RTB

    Idk what i find more amusing, these off the chart far left conspiracies or Hollywood pissing and bitching every week she advances. .
    Brandy was sure a class act last night, in defeat instead of acknowledging your competitor she goes Bill belichek and pouts…awesome
    Celebrities know what this show is, a popularity contest, and to piss about the voting is no ones fault, that’s the show, you don’t like it, take your ball and go home..there has been no injustice yet, the only injustice would be Jennifer grey losing to anyone on this season, she has been the best dancer since week 1…another humorous moment is to see the fire in the eyes of the celebrities and judges each week she moves on as well. ..At times in this world there is justice, and for all the Crap the palin family goes through on a daily basis this is fitting. ..

    LOL you are the sick piece of crap here. Don’t let anyone know where you will be buried or there will be a long line pissing on your grave.

    Don’t be alarmed! This is called Palin Derangement Syndrome and almost every liberal in the country has it. Here’s what is ironic, the same morons that think EVERY child should get a trophy are really furious over Bristol Palin’s DWTS success. Oh, NOW merit matters?

    I just saw the segment from GMA with George S (hotair has it); I can’t believe it. George is trying to make a big deal out of this, just like mediaite, claiming she is only getting the votes because of her mom. What a pathetic little man (literally) George is – can’t just compliment her for improving along the way — nope, George has to make it a conspiracy.

    Uneffin believable.

    People like George, who is a dem operative posing as a journolist, is attacking a young woman. PDS sufferers have jumped the shark and validated Sarah’s “sick puppies” comment.

    I just watched it – he tried SO many times to get Erin and that guy to say it was rigged! Good on Erin for sticking up for her. And I watched the results, and saw Brandy’s partner saying how proud he is to live in America where people vote (paraphrasing).

    You’ll probably have to elbow Tumbleweed out of the way. Alas! I will disappoint the both of you. I come from a long line of people who elect cremation. And, I intend to have my ashes scattered, in part, over Portage, Indiana, and in part over Bologna, Italy.

    …………and who really believes that Reality Shows are not just productions designed to make money?

    Or that Fox is a news network and not a business?

    Bristol, I think that you have improved throughout the entire Dancing with the Stars 2010 season and I applaud you. Of course I commend Mark as well for his terrific choreography & dancing skills. He’s one of the best.I have been watching DWTS since the start & watched it grow into a high-level entertainment show until this season. Bristol, no doubt you have done better each week but you are no where near the caliber of Audria (sorry for incorrect spelling-Tony’s partner), Rick, and Kurt. Like everything else in this sad world DWTS has become a political arena for the likes of your Mother Sarah and her Republican cronies. She has rounded up her “tea party” gang to vote for you when they probably never watched DWTS before.
    For you to win over Brandy is unrealistic & a TRAVESTY. SHAME ON MOTHER SARAH. SHAME ON ABC for “selling out,” because, in my opinion that is what they have done. I THINK THAT BRANDY SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK just to show us, the “ordinary folk,” what we REALLY think of her SUPERB DANCING SKILLS…and lest we forget the fabulous choreography, the dancing acumen & the persistent & “you-can-do-it support that MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY gave to Brandy each and every moment that they were together.
    ABC, A MESSAGE TO YOU: I, ALONG WITH MY FAITHFUL WATCHING FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES, WILL NOT BE WATCHING DWTS EVER AGAIN IF YOU DO NOT RIGHT THIS WRONG. IT IS A POLITICAL MOVE AND YOU ALL KNOW IT. CF from Boynton Beach Florida

    If Brandy is so great, and could possibly win, why did Kyle Massey beat her?

    Shouldn’t he have been the one who was kicked out if Bristol’s fans caused her to beat Brandy?

    Brandy lost to Kyle Massey.
    She lost to Bristol.
    She lost.

    She had just as good a chance as Bristol to win, she had higher judges scores, and she has fans. Apparently not enough, though, to beat Kyle or Bristol.

    Nobody is curing cancer here. It is just a TV show. I would have voted for Brandy because I thought she was more graceful and her movements were faster and more fluid. But what the hell do I know? I come from the generation before disco that preferred to stare at psychedelic lights rather than dance. ( Have you ever noticed how lame dancing was in the 60′s ? ) Anyway, I hope Jennifer Gray wins. It will be a win for the old guys. She is the only one I can check out and not feel like I should turn myself in to the police.

  • Sunnyr

    Love ya, Bristol and Mark and I am rooting for you two to win. Break a leg.
