Bristol Palin Going Against the Odds on 'Dancing With the Stars'

You go Norma and nannyfive5 and all others with good taste. I like how you think. Rather than come down on Bristol, why not come down on the unfairness of the show. As nice as it is to see the older stars doing the dancing, it's just not fair to put them against the likes of the modern day talents of the younger people. We older people just can't do what they can do. If they want to do that then make all the contestants 65 or over. However, who'd watch that? So many 'stars' aren't accepting the invitation to dance so let those who become famous, in whatever way, join the cast. If you don't like it, there are hundreds of other channels to choose from. Choose.

NOW, LET ME SEE.. The writer has given her opinion on what Bristol should do, and not do....WOW! And she hasn't even danced, yet. Let me put this as succinctly as I can, "Get off of her case!" Bristol is the one doing the dancing, you are not. If she wants to put a bag on her head, and dance on her tippy-toes....So what! If her mother is in the audience....So what!....Did you belitle Kelly Osborne when she came out and stumbled through the first few dances....No!...She ended up doing quite well, and I was very proud for her. And, for the record.....her costumes were showy, but for the most part, in good taste. When Mel B's costumes were bursting at the seams....Did you judge her? No!....So, what is it that makes you want to start judging Bristol Palin, before she has even danced the first dance......Oh wait, I know.....Her Mother is a white woman, Conservative, moral person, and she might be running for a very high office very soon.......I get it, that's the answer. Shame on you! Give her a chance!

You people talk about what Bristol is and what she isn't, yet you don't know a darn thing about her except she is Sarah's daughter and she is an unwed mother.You act like you or your kids are wallflowers when in reality 95% of girls have had sex before they get out of high school. Who knows, Bristol may be brilliant and may be a better spokesperson that her mother. You're just jealous because she got the opportunity to be on DWTS and you or your daughter can't. As far as some of you keep asking how she is considered a star to be on DWTS. Think!!!! The show is not titled Stars Dancing With Stars. It is titled Dancing With the Stars, so I suppose that entitles anyone to dance with the Professional Dancers (the stars)if you pass their qualtifications. I wish Bristol all the luck. I would love to see her walk off with the winners award.

Excuse me but this is worthy of Politics Daily? Are you serious?

My best wishes go to Bristol. She is a beautiful young lady and it would be nice to see her go a long way on this program and enjoy the success she deserves. As a teenager she was sweet-talked by a self-serving young man and their story is an age old one where the girl is left to suffer the consequences while the male goes off to seek more excitement in his life. He has really attracted the vultures and low-lifes of our society. She is a good mother and a very good daughter and without a doubt is loved and appreciated by her parents and has earned the right to have something good in her life.

If Bristol is what the GOP is got for their future, I'm pretty nervous too. Which one would you take home to introduce to your folks? How can you try to compare Brisol Palin to Chelsea Clinton??? Bristol is nothing but an uneducated unwed teen mother. Chelsea is well educated, planned her life and family with dignity and grace. Bristol will never reach the class and dignity of Chelsea Clinton.

Like mother like daughter, publicity ******!

This is a joke who gives a darn about any of the Palins????? She is a unwed mother thats all, what makes you think anyone is pulling for her success. She needs to get on with taking care of her illegitmate child.

how is she a star?
