The show is not just about dancing; if you want a show that is just about dancing, you can watch the ballroom competitions on public television channels. Dancing with the Stars is about celebrity, popularity, transformation, and dancing. Brandy is simply not that interesting or popular and she has not been for a long time. Also, she is a singer and a performer and has been dancing for a long, long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-78617942870234459112010-11-18T14:17:31.592-05:002010-11-18T14:17:31.592-05:00I second that emotion.I second that emotion.Cennettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109335050044632749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-41650171353916281212010-11-18T11:59:53.125-05:002010-11-18T11:59:53.125-05:00I said that's it...never again when Cloris Lea...I said that's it...never again when Cloris Leachman stayed on week after week but morbid curiosity got the best of me. it will again next week I am sure but after that never again.

I could nt believe that Brandy was kick off the show and the stiff as a board Bristol was kept. This is another example of where America is heading. Everything is political, is not about talent and qualifications, that was evident during the last presidential election. A vice president who spent how many years in a college, knew nothing about our constitution etc. Just imagine if that candidate had won and died a year later, and the US was left with a president that did not have a clue.<br />Ok back to DWTS, everything is political, and just like you and I will never watch project runway again. After reading your post, I am going to look at their sponsors and not buy any of their products.Mariela Alethiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109474450521019305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8774038514209300262010-11-18T07:22:49.205-05:002010-11-18T07:22:49.205-05:00If Bristol Palin wins, it will surely be the end o...If Bristol Palin wins, it will surely be the end of DWTS. If the show returns and expects to survive, they will need to change their judging rules and not allow political figures or barely "celebrities" on the show.<br /><br />As for Project Runway, Gretchen may have won, but I feel Mondo's career will soar above hers.MarilynBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065506338445261303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-39491933720373224632010-11-18T07:07:05.575-05:002010-11-18T07:07:05.575-05:00When Brandy's departure was announced, my sist...When Brandy's departure was announced, my sister called me and uttered a vile expletive that cannot be repeated here. I am with you on this and will vote with my remote for next season. I have to watch the finale, though if Bristol wins, I don't know what I'll do. I am never watching this show again, EVER. And I understand you have to rock the vote, which I've been doing for Jennifer every week, and I understand that people do get to vote, but to have asked this child on the show in the first place was a travesty. I keep thinking the judges comments and scores are a reaction to the furious voting and they are trying not to fan the flames. However, I have to say that Brandy was not my favorite by a long shot, what a precious diva, but she was by far the better dancer.RebeccaDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-17490261094572798642010-11-18T02:53:23.867-05:002010-11-18T02:53:23.867-05:00Carolyn, you are SO RIGHT and I am no longer watch...Carolyn, you are SO RIGHT and I am no longer watching either. All those Tea Party dialers probably did not even watch the program. And, Bristol posted all over the internet how Brandy's partner did not like her??? I believe this went out before the voting, at least on the West Coast. And, why was Sarah Palin up front and center on several shots and when they were interviewing the dancers, Sarah Palin was interviewed too?<br /><br />As far as Bristol Palin's feelings go, I am not sympathetic. She was on Face Book yesterday when her sister Willow was using the F word, gay slurs, other curse words etc just because someone said they did not like Sarah Palin's new program. I am sick of all those hypocrites!<br /><br />I love ballroom dancing and so enjoyed the costumes and the judges etc. Brandy, Jennifer and Kyle should have been in the finals.Stashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064220415021728232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-64135629954431715212010-11-18T00:11:31.449-05:002010-11-18T00:11:31.449-05:00First let me say, I think it is wonderful that you...First let me say, I think it is wonderful that you are voting with your actions. There is no better way to make a statement like "I do not want this show on the air anymore" than by clicking that dial. I applaud you for that.<br /><br />But are you disgusted with the show because they allow the public to vote or because most of the public who was watching/voting felt they wanted Bristol to stay? I, myself, was shocked to see Brandy go too, but I cannot believe that this was rigged--that would be a ridiculous move on their part.<br /><br />As for not allowing certain people on the show, then it would have to follow that they shouldn't allow people who have strong music in their 'resume' to be on the show as competitors against computer techies, or young, energetic folk against those in their 70's. But, I guess that part of the show is entertainment, not just dance...and I believe that is the only reason Kyle is still there BTW.<br /><br />As far as dancing, I really don't think Bristol's dancing technically is anywhere near is bad as Kate Goselin's. Personally, I feel her wooden personality is what does her in. But apparently she struck a chord with a lot of viewers.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see the fallout from all this and how DWTS casts its next season's stars as a result.<br /><br />And BTW, just to take the other side for a second: I think it is very unkind to Bristol to totally disregard her feelings in all this. I truly do not believe she is personally responsible for what happened.Incanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8427889335512035872010-11-18T00:10:16.393-05:002010-11-18T00:10:16.393-05:00Oh I know exactly how you feel.

If it was, Mondo surely would have won. Getting back to Dancing With the Stars. I'm going to watch next week, because surely to goodness, Kyle will win!!! Even though, Jennifer is an awesome dancer, there is an entertainment element to Kyle's dancing that just isn't there with Jennifer's. Now, if Bristol wins the whole thing like my husband is predicting, I won't watch next season. Did you hear on the news about the guy who shot up his tv because he hated Bristol's dancing so much!!!???Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097054119585201394noreply@blogger.com
