DWTS lost us when Bruno did not apologize on air to Michael Bolton. I recognize that they are the experts but you have to give a bit of honey with any dose of vinegar when it comes to criticism. Bruno needs to learn that lesson very soon. I don't remember what drew us back in but now you really lost us. I don't care if I have to watch paint dry or reruns of anything else on tv I will never watch DWTS again. IDK if it's a conspiracy or the result of the TEA party's influence on the country but there is no way in heck that Bristol is a dancer and does not deserve to be in the finals. I'll give her the fact that she has improved but to compare her to the likes of Brandy OMG! Again I say are you freaking kidding me?!?!?!?! She is an unwed, single, teenage mother that is using this as a platform for her agenda as a teen advocate. Advocate for what teen mothers! Puh-lease. For season 12 let the viewers vote for the celebrities they want to see. We vote to keep them on so let us vote to get them there in the first place. How novel!

To the extent that this post advocates a change in the method of selection of DWTS candidates, I'd comment that Sarah Palin's supporters would probably have been voting to get Bristol on the show, just as they've been voting to keep her on the show, so I don't think your idea would change the current fiasco.

To the extent this is a post bashing Bristol for having no talent and no clue, I agree, but we already have a thread on that. So I'm locking this one as a duplicate.
