The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals?
"She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too."

Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol.
On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make liberal heads explode and vote for Bristol" on Nov. 8 to advance her to the semi-finals.
But Jim Robinson, who founded the site, says there is no larger plan at work. "An organized conspiracy? I sincerely doubt that," he told PEOPLE. "The Tea Party's not that organized!"
And Green agrees that there's no stuffing of the virtual ballot-box, saying that the entire process – text votes, call-in votes and email votes – "is all overseen by the Broadcast Standards team, independent of us and the network to make sure that everything is absolutely done scrupulously."

Really who cares? It is the most insipid and banal program on television just short of msnbcbs
This is really, REALLY cool!
“An organized conspiracy? I sincerely doubt that,” he told PEOPLE.

Around here, it more like a DISorganized conspiracy.
But no matter. We take our conspiracies very seriesly.
By the way, “Vote for the worst” is also pushing votes for Bristol. Who is to say they aren’t the real conspiracy?
Just another vast right wing conspiracy. Ha-ha!

300,000 users? Is that before or after all the recent zots? ;)

Me too, it’s a hoot, they are wasting all that energy worrying about something that’s just fun. Let them knock themselves out.
And hey, we’ll wish for liberal heads to explode for a lot less than this!
This latest with Bristol is nowhere near that crazy.
lol.
LOL. I think she’s right!
I “borrowed” it from The Raven...lol.
... tomorrow the World!
The conspiracy is that Bristol has to compete against experienced dancers like Jennifer Gray and others. Maybe the votes are because Bristol has come so far. We already know Dirty Dancing Star queen of plastic surgery Jennifer can dance. She looks weird. I barely even recognize as the same girl that played Baby in the movie.

THANK ME!
I don’t watch it, never have, but I do glance at the videos on You Tube since Bristol is on and I will probably vote next week. I will vote for her because from what I have seen, she has come so far. Jennifer is no better than she was in Dirty Dancing. Now of Bristol really screws up next week, I probably won’t vote at all. But after Jennifer made such an ass of herself when Brandy was voted out, I sure won’t ever give her a vote.
