Reply #25: For Bristol never having danced before, compared to the [View All]

[astral]

others who have (well, I'm not sure about Kyle) it is the level of improvement that the show is about. I think the costumes and choregraphy have hurt Bristol a bit as she doesn't get the costumes that show her body and the choregraphed fun-looking dances that Brandy and Jennifer get. Sure, they are miles ahead of her in ability, and Kyle has shown himself to be far better than her as well, but the long black skirts are not exactly helping her out.

I don't think the show's ratings are going to go down one little bit, sorry!

I agree 100% the show's not fair. But I don't stomach too well seeing the comments here insinuating Bristol is some of sub-par class human being just because she wasn't already a celebrity like the others. Just by the luck of the --- stars --- she was plucked as a random middle-class young gal from Anywhere-USA and thrown into the mix.

It is clear she worked her butt off and embraced the opportunity and is trying her best. SHE knows the scoring is making people unhappy, but please stop acting like it is her fault that she exists.

I have never bothered to figure out how to vote for anyone on the show, I just hope so-and-so makes it, and this is all the more interesting when it becomes a popularity contest instead of a talent contest. Maybe the network can verify whether there is 'teabagging' going on here, or if America, regardless of what D.U. and the other dancers and the studio audience and the judges think -- wants Bristol to win just because she IS the underdog in the mix.

There is more to this than just unfair voting tactics, I think. I could be wrong.
