Bristol Palin Advancing on 'DWTS' Causes SWAT Standoff

People are really into Dancing With the Stars this season.

A 67-year-old rural Wisconsin man enraged over Bristol Palin's Dancing With the Stars routine blasted his television with a shotgun, leading to an overnight standoff with a SWAT team.

A Dane County Sheriff's detective says in court documents that Steven Cowan, of the town of Vermont, felt Palin was not a good dancer and was only on the show because of her famous mother. He felt he had to take action.

They say Cowan loaded his shotgun and blasted the TV before turning the gun on his wife, who escaped.

Tactical officers surrounded the home and managed to talk Cowan out, but the standoff lasted until Tuesday morning.

Cowan was charged second-degree reckless endangerment and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Authorities say he has bipolar disorder, and he's not a member of The Tea Party.

Dancing With the Stars: Bristol Knows the Politics of Dancing

 

As Dancing With the Stars finishes up the most important week of the season, three of the teams will move on to the finals and one will go home. With Jennifer's perfect routines and Brandy still in great form, it appears those two teams are advancing. That leaves one spot open, with Bristol and Kyle doing everything they can to garner votes and get that spot.

Bristol has been doing well with the fan voting and Kyle has been doing well in that area as well. Bristol is in last place after the judge's totals, can she make it up in votes. She can if the Tea Party has anything to do with it.

Brandy and Maks kicked off the show with their Argentine tango from last night.

I hadn't seen Annie Lennox in a while, but here she is on DWTS. No Eurythmics in attendance, but she sang a new Christmas song. We also got to see a little feature on hard hard the couples have worked to get to this point. Kyle stated that the mental aspects of the competition are more important that the physical challenges. No eliminations as of yet.

Jennifer and Derek are front and center. Tom tries to be dramatic, but he awards the couple with a place in the finals.

Next up some more filler. Cheryl and Derek to a Billy Joel favorite. Not much of a Macy's Stars of Dance this week.

More Annie Lennox, this time with "Little Bird." Also our pros give their opinions on the other dancers. Jennifer Grey got many props for fighting through her injuries. if she wins, that will be the story of this seasons show.

More results, up next are Kyle and Lacey. Lacey may not be the perfect performer, but she is one of the best teachers. The couple was excited to hear they made the finals.

Now a performance by Enrique Iglesias. Also a hot dance routine by the pros.

The final spot now will be either Bristol and Mark, or Brandy and Maks. The tension is so thick it could be cut with a knife. Both pairs have worked extremely hard.

The couples are on the stage. The couple advancing is Bristol and Mark. A disappointed Brandy and Maks are going home.

'Dancing With the Stars' Semi Final Preview

They are down to he final four on Dancing With the Stars. 

Two favorites and two underdogs nobody expected to make it this far.  Brandy, Jennifer Grey, Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey are all vying for the mirror ball trophy and it's really up for grabs at this point.

Tonight, the couples will perform one ballroom dance and one Latin dance in hopes of moving on to the final three.  The edge at this point goes to Brandy and Jennifer Grey if she can stay healthy. 

Brandy and Maks are on a roll. If you look purely at the scores, they’ve topped or tied the leader board the last four weeks.

The surprise of this season is Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas.  Mark Ballas is the key here.  He is a skilled dancer who has had the patience and drive to stick it out with Palin. If he can produce top-notch choreography and use her strengths, they could advance. Pay special attention to the  Latin round. Palin has to throw caution to the wind and let loose.

Fans, don't sleep on Kyle Massey.  "Fun" is the best word to describe Kyle on the show and he has shown improvement every week.  He will need some big scores from the judges tonight, but he's worked hard and capable of earning 9's and 10's.

Watch tonight at 8.
