Attitude is a big part of it, because there is an audience out there that gets to vote. If they don't like your attitude you can bet they are not going to be voting for you at all, even if you danced a perfect dance.

"Say hey, freakingback !!
Seems like you ain't been gone long, so pardon me if I don't git all recited !!
We been talkin' 'bout how Kyle is the most improved dancer in the group, accordin' to most of the peeps that's up in here.
Lord knows they done Brandi wrong, an' they's gonna be hell to pay in the sweet bye an' bye !!
Young Master Derek an' Miss Jennifer are a sight to behold -- just as smooth as buttermilk an' sultry like an August evenin'.
Bristol the pistol got her serial number filed off an' her firing pin removed by them T-bagger Republican creeps that cheated the voting system.
Other than that, I dunno nothin'.
Welcome back !!"

I'm an older person that DOES have an account, and I think Mr. Lennie is biased, too !!
Week after week after week, we watch that old codger give his opinions about his scores as truthfully as he knows how -- but with a strong bias against crappy dancing and un-inspired performances, such as we've recently seen leading up to the Bristol Palin fiasco.
Yes, Lennie's bias against mediocrity has served him well -- but alas, his valiant efforts fell victim to politically-motivated cyborterrorists that cheated the voting system to insure a win for their favorite T-bagger Republican politician's talentless offspring.
As for THIS older person, I'm biased, too !!
I'm biased against cheaters and any network that supports such abuses by allowing the contest to continue without corrective action being taken.
Thank you.

"Now that it is clear that the at-hme voting for Ms Palin has been distorted by pro Tea Party fanatics, the next step for Ms Palin is to restire from the competition. And ABC bears part of the blame since it is either unwilling or unable to insure the validity of the at-home voting. The whole show is a farce and no one should watch the finals."

RESIGN !!??? Are you kidding, or what !!???
There's no way in hell that Bristol would be allowed to resign, especially after her publicity-junky mother shouted "Just take over!" at Bristol during one of those periods when Bristol was being hesitant.
The whole thing falls on ABC -- because NOBODY knows how many votes were cast by the viewers !!
They come out and tell us who is "safe", but we don't know what the vote-count was for each contestant.
Let's face it -- Bristol Palin was chosen to improve the show's ratings -- and they're going to KEEP her there for that very same reason.
ABC has shown us CLEARLY that they have no intention of running a genuine Dancing Contest -- because they can make more money by helping Sarah Palin's political campaign.
But hey, they have a right to run their show any way they want -- and we have the right to change the channel to another network when we feel that we've been cheated.
If you go around and check the other DWTS threads, you'll find that there are MANY viewers who have said that they'll never watch DWTS again, and some are dumping the entire network !!
The overwhelming majority of recent posts show that ABC's dirty tricks are NOT popular with the long-time viewers, and it looks like the network will suffer in the long run.
Yes indeed, WyldBill -- ABC screwed their viewers again - and people don't like to be made fools of -- and mebbe that's a lesson that ABC will have to learn the hard way.

Does anyone really understand how the public voting is figured into the overall score? I've never really heard it explained. I have to agree with Tom Bergeron, if you don't vote for anyone then you really have no right to complain about someone staying or going. A few seasons back, when Sabrina was voted off everyone was complaining about her going. Well, if they liked her so well they should have voted for her instead of assuming she would make it through. You can't complain about something if you do nothing to change it or help it.

Non of the contestants on the show are professional dancers. Then they would not be on it. The show is called Dancing with the "STARS". Not Dancing with the child of a political figure. People did not think it was fair last year when Nicole one because she had dance training when she was young, but the difference was she isn't dancing professionally she is a singer in a girl band. What is the definition of a Star? Someone who is on TV, in the Movies, sings or plays in a band?

"Of course Brandy is the better dancer, of course it's the people's votes that keep Bristol on. But, why should we talk about Bristol as if she's killed someone? It's a TV show! And, a fun one! Everyone gets paid well, the Stars and the Professionals have a great time.
Bristol is just a young girl and even though it seems obvious that her Mom's pals have kept Bristol on the dance floor, no one should ever talk so badly about this girl as if she's done something wrong. She hasn't.
Also, does anyone remember the first season of DWTS? The judges had the sole vote and the winners were not the popular choice so there was an unofficial dance off...and the rules were changed to allow for the judges votes to count as half and we the people(!) allowed the other half of the vote. So Bristol's in. (A couple season's ago, Cloris Leachman was in for a long time too and she certainly didn't dance very well. Of course, she was a joy!)
I think we need to keep in perspective about this: it's entertainment and there's no excuse for folks to be cruel.
Just enjoy."

FUN !!??? You call it "FUN" when the best dancer in a DANCE contest is sent home, while the worst performer is allowed to go on to win a very large prize !!????
Well, the vast majority of the people here are OUTRAGED at the fiasco that you call "fun" !!
Making silly excuses for the DWTS travesty won't appease those folks, and I can't understand why you would even TRY to come at us as if WE were at fault here !!
So let's dump the waving of the Bristol Palin crying towell -- and face the FACTS --
1.-Bristol Palin has NOT performed better than others who were sent home.
2.- EVERYBODY knows it, and the vast majority of posters here have expressed their extreme dislike of the "Worst contestant wins!" crapola that we were fed -- and are fed up with !!

That is so right... I guess we forget it is a dancing competition not a POLITICAL competition. You would think that Bristol is running for PRESIDENT! with all the votes... She should just be gone after all she should follower in her mothers foot steps and QUIT!
