I actually cover DWTS for a site that I write for and have been following this. It makes me laugh how pissed some people are. I think she is going to win. I think Jennifer deserves to win, but it has little to do with that, as the votes have showed. There is a flaw in the scoring and the producers are suddenly realizing that. They say it is even 50% judges scores and 50% audience vote, but that is not the case. The audience vote actually carries a much large weight.
Bristol is in the middle of the perfect storm. She has conservatives voting for her, there is a group of people who have adopted her kind of as the little engine that could and they are voting for her and the Vote For the Worst website and crowd are voting for her. All those votes are adding up and keeping her around.
It is classic. If she wins she will be doing a bunch of press where she will get endless questions about how she won a dance competition when she can't dance. Furthermore it will be like a major network show just got punked.
