This has got to be one of the most fatuous television programs going.

The FIX IS IN!

...due to technical difficulties, we have to go to the judges score cards.

I love it! ...everyone on the planet will know what happened.

I’ve never watched the show and don’t intend to, but I did my part to shut down their voting system last night!

I got through 3 times; twice the response was thank you for voting for Palin. One of the calls said thank you for voting for someone else, I think it was the black guy, so I quit calling in, thinking the process was fixed.

re: “affected each finalist equally”

And just how do they know that? But what else could they say?

I had no problem voting online but was never able to get through via the phone for the first time all season....and that’s never happened.....made me wonder if that was intentional.....All I can say is that DWTS owes Bristol big time - she’s brought in HUGE ratings....was she the best? No....but I don’t think it’s fair to have contestants (i.e., Jennifer Grey) who’ve had dance training in the past such as ice skaters, members of bands, etc.....it’s the most fun when it’s people who are not dancers.....that being said....it’s been a great season and I think Bristol did a great job for a teenager out of Alaska who’s never performed in public!

Could have been DU or Kos types hacking the ABC system cuz they don’t like the way things have been going on DWTS - you know, they way they do conservative sites.

Why is Jennifer even in this she is a pro!

other seasons have had pros... i don't understand why more than half of the contestants are on the show since they are not stars... with a name like, "Dancing with the Stars," i'd like to see some top-notch stars... not mostly mediocre stars we haven't seen in decades... or semi-stars...

I was able to vote all 5 times allowed online. But I called in early.

I never even saw this show until a few weeks ago. I’m only watching due to B Palin being on it and enjoying how it blows the libs heads off. I’ll probably never watch it again. I figure there will be a serious drop-off in viewership after Bristol. I figure a lot of people are like me and tuning in just because of Bristol stickin’ it to ‘em.

BTW. I caught the lineup of Skating with the Stars last night. I must be way out of it. I don’t have a clue who any of those “stars” are. Won’t watch that one either.

I did too though it took a couple try’s at least to cast every vote I did get all five in online. Only got through once on the phone though.

She's about as pro as John Travolta.

Just because they played a dance part, does not make them a pro.

What Jennifer has is maturity and Professionalism...She's older, has a stage presense, and an exceptional partner...

Palin is stuck in Dancing 101. I do give her credit for "going for it"...but she should have been gone a long time ago. This contest is supposed to be about talent, too.

Jennifer Grey is a pro. Ms. Palin is an amateur.

Jennifer does not belong on the show because
there are two (2) professionals in her groups,
vs. one in each of the other groups.
