Somehow, being the daughter of the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee qualified Bristol for "stardom" alongside Grey, who is now 50, the pop singer Brandy, former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, "Brady Bunch" mom Florence Henderson and seven others.The attention to "Bristol the Pistol," as her mom pegged her, started early on. During the second week, when Sarah Palin stopped by to watch the live show, boos could be heard from the audience. Producers found footage to show the audience booing low scores for Grey -- not Sarah Palin's arrival."Some viewers reported experiencing difficulties registering their votes for the Dancing with the Stars finale, which affected each finalist equally," show producers said in a statement. "The issue was promptly addressed."
I was happy that Bristol did well, and she can be proud of herself. It takes a lot of guts to do what she did, and the news media is "tuffing her up" with their coverage and disparaging remarks. You'll pay later. Good for her

Every other program called for voter results after the judges had rendered their verdict. The finale, however, called for the public to vote before the last vote from the judges, so that the final score could be affected by what the judges knew about the public vote. Furthermore, ABC never released the public vote tally, so we have no way of knowing the numbers -- reminding us of the latest Iranian election. The vague "the judges' votes count for 50% and the public vote counts for 50%" tells us almost nothing about what we want to know. The contest was unfair all around. If it was to be a talent contest, ABC had no business putting on a politically-charged figure in hopes of drawing a partisan audience and then complaining that said figure could not dance. If it was to be a popularity contest, why have judges vote at all? If It was to be a combination, but was to be won on talent, why let the public vote in the last rounds? On the other hand, if it was to be a beauty contest with a fixed result, it made sense to have a professional dancer mixed in with a number of amateurs with two left feet. In the end, this was a TV show, and virtually everything that happened on it can be explained in terms of ABC's desire to maximize ratings. In this, it succeeded brilliantly.

Bristal didnt have any thing to fall back on so Grey cant brag to much after all... its was just another show that fell flat at the end...

Maybe people just liked her more than the stars and Jennifer Grey is not new to dancing neither was Brandy,both dance or have danced in their careers.
