God Help Us: Bristol Palin With a New Reality Show

Bristol Palin has joined up with Kyle and Chris Massey for a new reality series I'm sure you don't want to miss.
The single mom, 20, moved out of her Arizona digs and back to Los Angeles with her son Tripp, 2, to live with fellow former DWTS contestant Kyle, 19, and his brother Chris, 21, in an experience Kyle calls "a lot of fun."

"Kyle and Bristol hit it off from pretty much the first day they met," Chris tells PEOPLE Magazine. "We all became really good friends. Over the whole course of the show, we only got closer and closer. Both of our families connect well. It's one big happy family."

"It's definitely going to be a ride," adds Kyle, who recently performed at Hugh Hefner's birthday party with Chris as the Massey Boyz hip-hop duo. "What you can expect is just three friends taking on the world."

'Dancing With the Stars' : Bristol Silences the Critics and Has No Regrets

It's been a tough week to be Bristol Palin. Last Tuesday, when Bristol earned the final spot in this week's finals, it seemed there was a universal outcry as Brandy was eliminated.

While the Palin voters and fans have remained mostly out of the fray, there was a lot of pressures on Bristol as she prepared to dance this week. Not only with learning new dances, she also had to deal with the fall out of a mysterious white powder being sent to the ABC studios in Los Angeles that insiders said was supposed to be delivered to Palin. The white substance ended up being baby powder and police were conducting an investigation.

That brings us to tonight's dances. Bristol and Mark Ballas knocked their first routine out of the ballpark. Some extra coaching from Bruno paid off as the couple earned three 9's from the judges. Overall, a very strong performance.

Wow, the scores are great tonight. Up next for Bristol is her freestyle. They will be dancing to a song from the Broadway show, Chicago. Bristol says she has motivation to prove the doubters wrong. I almost thought I was watching a scene from Chicago. The dance was cute and fun. From week one, each and every week, Bristol kept enjoying herself more and more.

Give her a 10 for dancing in a cage. The judges gave her a 25 out of 30 for this effort. Bristol seemed pleased, Mark seem pleased and Palin fans and Tea Partiers are getting their dialing fingers ready.

Bristol Palin in the 'DWTS' Finals: Everyone has an Opinion

In the elimination shocker of the year, pop singer Brandy and dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy were the ones sent home on Tuesday night's "Dancing With the Stars." Brandy, who was consistently at the top of the leaderboard this season, received a perfect 30 for her Argentine Tango Monday, and was in third place.

The person that advanced to the finals, Bristol Palin.  Until recently, we knew Bristol Palin as the teenage mother and daughter of Sarah Palin.  Now, we all follow her every dance move on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. 

Should Bristol be in the finals?  Based on dancing alone, no.  But it's not just about the dancing and that is what show producers wanted all along.  This is the perfect storm for this show which draws tons of viewers each week anyway.  Now there is a Palin controversy or conspiracy to talk about as well.  Have the Palin's orchestrated a voting campaign to get Bristol to win?  They may have, but usually when we get to the finals, the best dancer usually wins.

I received a tremendous amount of e-mails and comments from my article over at the Yahoo! Network.  The link is here:  http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6019914/dancing_with_the_stars_semi_final_results.html

But I also wanted to print some of comments the readers left to see how much people are into this show and what it means going forward.

I guess the tea party is more concerned about who wins a dance contest than they are about the real issues in America!

I have watched this show from the beginning and I can tell you if Bristol wins, I will never turn this on again - this is pathetic to even think she came this far just because of her mother who has tremendous PULL. You'll see this show go down the tubes if she wins.

I now have 3+ hours a week more to dedicate to reading, listening to music, writing, and not watching DWTS. This is my last episode of my last season as a viewer. The finals are pointless since the winner will not be chosen for their dancing ability. I sincerely hope that the DWTS producers and ADVERTISERS read the posts of the shows used-to-be fans. This season has been riddled with rude, mean-spirited judging and unfair voting. The thrill is gone ABC.

What a disappointment, clearly Brandy was the better dancer! Bristol SUCKED from the very beggining and barely made improvements. This show is BS and so are the PALINS! I will not be watching again, this show is a farce, It's not DWTS, it's Dancing for Ignorant Politicians. Makes me want to never vote for anything again

This is a joke. I knew it was goin gto happen and I'll bet it happens next week. The Pee Party has screwed up something else...what else is new.

Tired of all the politics... (Guest) 11/16/2010

I love...LOVE..reality television. I can't believe that politics has crept its way into reality television! Looks like I'm going to have to tune out of DWTS for the seasons to come. Not only does Bristol Palin's undeserved run to the finals tarnish this season of the show, but it makes a mockery of the earlier seasons too. If the show is not canceled (I'm certain a large monetary contribution will come from the 13 Million Dollar (and growing) Mom, it should be renamed "Dancing With Politicos" -- clearly you have to organize a political action committee and get the grass roots machine in action week after week... Who cares about talent, that's for "American Idol" and "America's Got Talent"...for now!!!!

This is an absolute shameful example of the power of the Palin Stepford Wives! They want to shroud themselves in their so-called "Christian" beliefs, but how "Christian" is it to put what they believe to be the "power" of their politics over doing the right thing--based on honesty and ability, not on political affiliations or beliefs. They will continue to hide behind their self-proclaimed holier-than-thou personna, but fail others and themselves for talking too much of the talk and not walking more on the walk!!!

Sadly, I'm not shocked about what happened to Brandy tonight. We've seen more of Sarah's Palin's big head this season that many of the dancers who've been working their butts off. What's truly shocking is that ABC has turned it's network into a political vehicle for the tea-baggers. Mediocrity prevails yet again. And "teen activist"?? C'mon, she had unprotected sex, had a baby out of wedlock and is now going to preach to the rest of us how to live our lives. She's a wannabe reality star, just like everyone else.

And there are many and many more to go with these.

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 Results: The Clock Runs out on Kurt

A big results show tonight and I don't have a clue as to is leaving. Brandy looks safe with almost perfect performances last night. Jennifer should be safe as well, and we appear to be heading to a Brandy/Jennifer final two.

Any of the remaining three could go home. Kyle dazzled the crowd and viewers with his instant dance. Bristol was elegant and hit all her moves in both dances. That leaves us with Kurt and I feel if he doesn't get a ton of fan votes he may be out.

As a bonus we got to see Kyle and Lacey's instant dance again. It was better the second time and is just a great routine. They received a 29 for it and it deserved a 30.

On to the results. They take each couple one by one this week, and Kyle and Lacey are safe.

Once again they bring Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice back for Dance Center. They analyze the competitors like only they can.

The first musical guest of the evening is Taio Cruz. Some great music for the pro dancers.

Next guest is John Legend and The Roots. More great dance music.

Now up are Jennifer and Derek and Kurt and Anna. Jennifer is safe, and Kurt to nobody's surprise was put in jeopardy.

Our final two couples waiting to learn their fate are Brandy and Maks and Bristol and Mark. Maks is still upset over comments from Carrie Ann last night. The next couple safe is Bristol and Mark. Brandy and Maks are in jeopardy.  Bristol must be pulling in a ton of fan votes.  I guess those Republicans are still voting.

Down to two couples.  Kurt and Anna and Brandy and Maks.  Kurt Warner is eliminated.  But a good job by Kurt.  A standing O for Kurt.
