(FILES): This May 14, 2010 file photo shows former Alaska governor Sarah Palin speaking at the Susan B. Anthony List "Celebration of Life" breakfast at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC. Amid growing speculation she will make a presidential bid in 2012, Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin said November 17, 2010 she could beat President Barack Obama to the White House. Palin told ABC News she was seriously considering running to secure the Republican presidential nomination. Now one of the most popular conservatives in America, Palin solidified her life in the spotlight by launching her own reality show on Sunday, featuring her family fishing, kayaking, bear-watching and relaxing in their tiny hometown of Wasilla.

Cowan, of Vermont, Wis., blasted his television set with a shotgun after watching Bristol Palin's "Dancing with the Stars" routine Monday night, saying he was fed up with politics and Palin wasn't a very good dancer, according to court documents. Authorities said Cowan then pointed the gun at his wife who escaped and called police. A SWAT team surrounded the couple's Vermont farmhouse and officers were able to talk Cowan out Tuesday, after an all-night standoff. Cowan is charged with second-degree reckless endangerment.

It was ruined the moment they picked her

I can only hope Jennifer Grey wins and in the end I think she will. Brandy's past haunted her in spite of her being a good dancer. Bristol has made her mark and we haven't seen the last of her. Mama Grisley should be very proud of her cub.

it is more interesting when an individual with no acting or dancing history can steadily improve and make one interested in tuning back in just to see hard determination beat the dancers that have studied acting and dance.

Just what did Sarah Palin ever do to deserve all this ? If ignorance is bliss ,, there are alot of happy fools with no idea of what reality is.

Well lets see, she resigned as gov because it 'was in her families best interest' meanwhile goes on a cross country BOOK TOUR. She garnered support as mayor just to put a town into BANKRUPTCY. Plus she has resigned more than once from an position, BOTH TIMES to garner self publicity for personal gain. READ UP HER HISTORY and MAYBE you'd realize something MORE than just a tabloid queen. These are just 3 examples without details, try doing some research before you start blowing someone
This is really the oddest DWTS ever shown. I don't like to phone voting, callers don't see the "real" person. In this case, due to be unwed and pregnant, with a mother who is wanting to run for President of the United States, she should continue with her new campaign on teenage pregnancy, and NOT try to do any sexually explicit dancing. She needs to remember her age, and that she is a role model for today's teens.

Bristol is not a Teenager she is 20 years old, I agree she is immature for that age and I think this was Mommy Dearest choice for her to do this show. She has worked hard and done well but not a real winner of the show but she certainly can take pride in hanging in there and that in its self makes her a winner. I think Mommy should stayed home and let Bristol break the strings, I don't care for Sara Palin but would like to see Bristol do well
ABC asked for this...they used Bristol and the controversy that surrounds her for ratings gold and now it's turned around and bit them in the butt!

sarah palin taking care of everything we need to make life easy!!!!
so thanks mom for making me look like i'm having such a hard life!!! Good Politics also works you though Bristol very well!!!!

If you have parents and family that support you there doesn't have to be hardship. It appears that she does and for some reason that makes you upset.
There will always be people in this world that have it easier than you did. You should be happy that her son will have a loving home to grow up in.
Next year they should have tryouts and you should have to be approved for the cast by America so you get it exactly the way you want it. Is not like the winner gets a dancing contract. Get over it. You get to vote for who you like. I voted for Bristol and Kyle because I like them. And they both did great. I did not like Brandy and I did not like her dances or her partner so I did not vote for her. I think the best 3 got in. Bristol and Mark did great on Monday and deserved votes.
Reply
Don't you think that if the contestants had to be "approved" by America that a lot of people would have voted for Bristol to be on the show so they could make fun of her?
She should really be bad this week anyway. She'll be so nervous trying to be perfect, hope she falls on her butt.

I personally am delighted by the self-destruction of shows like this. Perhaps soon we will return to actual ENTERTAINMENT instead of the train-wreck/freak show and gratutious stunt-casting. Hope springs eternal!
Reply
as much as I agree and hope, I doubt it.........
Prsonally the show could be cancelled it wouldn't bother me.

wow, so sick of hearing about this...if my daughter was on this show, I'd find everyone i know and have them vote for her!! what is the big deal?? When it's a REALITY dancing show...its not just about the dancing its about fans!!!! they need to get over it!!
