During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges’ scores alone do not decide a couple’s fate.
Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) & online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites.
Phone & text lines will stay open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until 11am (Eastern Time) the next day.
Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas 800-868-3407
It will be announced at the beginning of the show how many times we are allowed to vote on each phone. Last week it was 5 times, and it decreases each week.
Try to vote at the beginning of the show before lines are jammed.
Pavegunner family:
5 phones + 1 computer = 30 votes.
Screw you liberal haters.
They’re cheating. I logged in, tried to bvote for Bristol, it send me back to sign in again. I tried 5-6 times, same thing. I logged in again and clicked on Jennifer and it let me vote. That used one of my votes. Then I tried to vote for Palin, and it sent me back to the sign on page. WTF is going on?
MY but those judges already have their favorite.

This is ABC, did we really expect this to be fair?
I vote just to piss off the liberal hate mongerers.
I watched and voted for Bristol... numerous times! ;-)
I’ve yet to watch one episode of DWTS, and this morning my record stands. Even Palin’s kid could’nt change my dis-taste for that brain bubble gum.
I haven’t been watching at all — not much interested — but I guess I hadn’t seen Jennifer Gray in quite a while, since Dirty Dancing and Ferris Bueller. I liked her better with her old nose. Now she’s been surgically sculpted into just another generic-looking female celebrity. Oh well. At least she didn’t get trout lips like Meg Ryan.
TV Shows are all about ratings and sponsorship. ABC is having an orgasm over this one. Can you imagine what the ratings would be say, if Joy Behar or Woopie was one of the dancers instead of Palin would you bother to vote? The amount of viewers would be way way down unless of course you added Bristol to the mix, then it would be more like a brawl in regard to the voting.
Bristol has more spine than Jennifer...just admitted by Jennifer.
Did Mark say that if they are ranked third they can’t win even with the people’s fan votes? Does it become mathematically impossible, a rule? Just curious if you know.
Much obliged, Doc. It’s been fun!
OK, I’ve just started watching on the left coast, and have avoided anything online, but I just have to say: W.T.F. was that!!! Freaking Jennifer, hurt yet again, but going to dance through it. There is NO audience voting, so why the heck did we even need to hear about it?? To justify the two sets of perfect scores the Judges are going to give her tonight, as if we didn’t expect it anyway???
The number of poor losers on this thread is amazing. A lot of you people should be ashamed.
I think the main reason so many of the pubic were for Bristol may be because she was a total non-dancer - and the strides she made from week to week were remarkable. I think people could put themselves in her shoes and relate.
Jennifer Grey, daughter of a great dancer, has been dancing all her life - and was the star, with Patrick Swayze, in Dirty Dancing, a film famous for the great dancing. SHE is the professional.
‘Seems to me the deck was stacked from the get go.
That said, I think Bristol did herself up proud - and I think she's probably relieved that she didn't get the final win...She can now go home and be with her little boy. She's exhausted and home sick...She can go home with her head held high...and maybe not need the body guards against the death threats.
