Thanks Karma
. I'm not sure the interviewer quite knew where to go after Val said he agreed with the judges and they should be a couple ![]() They have grown on me week by week as a couple they seem to bring the best out in each other. |

Would have liked to have seen Broadway style on the show, and reckon Helio would have done it well! The reason Bristol is getting through (probably, and at the risk of sounding obvious) is, though the people against Bristol outnumber her fanbase, but because everyone's voting for different people, it dissipates the anti-Bristol block, so she'll get far but won' win, as the fewer people in the competition will mean the fewer people to vote between. However, it's still infuriating! Disappointed Drew went home, thought he and Anna did well, and if they'd gone later in the running ordered they'd have got much higher scores, and probably gone through! but guess he and Helio wouldn't have gone much further overall :/

Glad Sabrina & Louis are still in. I thought they were goners when effing BP was safe again.
I wish that she would have the grace to do what John Sergeant did on Strictly and David Wirrpanda did in season 10 of the Australian version. But my guess is that we'll be stuck with her till the very end. |

As much as I love Bristol I think she should not be on the series cause you can see it is getting to her IMHO. She is getting most of the blame for most of the celebs eliminations when its not really her fault. Plus I agreed with her comments about Mark this week. He has seemed not interested and that week 2 quickstep was attempted dance suicide from him. Her Paso this week was really good and I liked the story of the dance. |

I think Helio and Drew said it best on Jimmy Kimmel. People see her as the underdog in this competition.
Also there is the drama of her staying when better dancers are being booted and that keeps people tuning in and amps up the viewing numbers and voting. The producers know exactly what they are doing IMO. Mark is getting hit hard on twitter with extreme nastiness. It must be crappy for him, he has a job to do and it is hard to tell if he really wants to be there. |

Wow, the quality this week was crazy. Say what you will about Derek, the fact is he is the shows best dancer, best choreographer and creates the best dances, by a distance. The only one who ever came close was his sister. Maybe he does break rules, get the best partners etc but the show is so much richer for having what he produces. He/he & shawn are a joy to watch.
As for the ones who left, it was no surprise to see bottom-two-drew eliminated. There was a sad and desperate air to him that was tough to watch. Disappointed to see Helio go though, his attitude was refreshing and he was a fine dancer. Regarding Bristol, firstly she is imo better than Kirsty. At worst they are even. So it is unfair that she is the one who gets so much hate when the better dancers go. The fact is, this scenario happens every season without fail. It's part of the show, rightly or wrongly. However, given that it is the "All Stars" and given the fact it seems people vote for her for "political" reasons, you could make an argument for her having not been included in the show. Regardless, she's part of it now and doing her best - thats all anyone can do I guess!

Very sorry to hear about people twitting things to Mark he really having a bad time and I really feel for him.

Well, people are well within their right to have a personal favourite, but REALLY? This is absurd. I don't understand Bristol's appeal- even if it's political, since when have the beliefs of a politician (or in this case, a politician's daughter) been grounds for popularity outside of an election? It's a personal system of beliefs- people shouldn't be rewarded for simply having something we all have by being able to harangue a dance show, even if you share Bristol's political tendencies as Pamela suggested.
I'm conservative first and Republican a distant second [imo both parties are bad but one is worse], but that doesn't affect my DWTS voting at ALL. I have never understood her appeal, but I've seen various comments from people who say they like her despite, not because of, her mother's politics. I always expect her to be sent home but somehow she survives. It didn't take many votes this week to save her; she was just 1.62% from the top of the leaderboard. That said, I did feel sorry for her when Mark blew off a practice last week; I understood her tears. And someone mailing threatening notes with white powder is just uncalled for. |

Maybe Drew was right that people like to vote for the underdog. Wasn't that why so many people voted for Kelly Osbourne? That and they just liked her.

Seems there were a few bruised egos this week Drew didn't take it very well to be knocked out but it is understandable if you have been a past winner and then are ousted earlier than you hoped. There will probably be a few more before the end of the series. Kirstie flounced off her OTRC vt as Maks was asked a question and she didn't get to speak lol. Anderson Copper has her sussed lol. http://www.limelife.com/blog-entry/A...ma/140514.html |

Bristol's dancing is incredibly mediocre (at best) and terrible otherwise. You can't exactly claim she has an interesting personality either. She was chosen for this season because of who her mother is - that must make her feel proud of herself. I don't find her manipulative little girl act appealing either. |

To paraphrase a rather famous Australian quartet: "She's ever upper class high society God's gift to ballroom notoriety She always fills her ballroom the event is never small the social pages say she's got the biggest balls of all." There you have it. In the dog eat dog, eat cat too ratings wars she's a winner for ABC. |
