Bristol Palin: Dancing With The Stars Been Very Very Good For Her

Although getting third place on DWTS, Bristol Palin seems to be on her way to laughing all the way to the bank. Dancing With The Stars received so much attention and controversy with Palin continuing to last on the show, that DWTS may never be the same. But for Bristol it is a media coup. Dare I say, Bristol Palin is more popular than her mother Sarah Palin who is currently on her own book tour. There is talk that Bristol Palin maybe the new spokesmodel for an American clothing brand. Actually that is a good idea. Palin has an average American body frame. She isn't a stick figure and maybe that is why so many people felt a kinship to her. Palin isn't Hollywood. She is a girl who shoots shotguns, hunts, drives a truck and flips the finger when defending her family. Like it or not she added a refreshing twist to an anorexic world.

Bristol Palin A Deer In The Headlights

For Dancing With The Stars having Bristol Palin as a contestant was a brilliant ratings boom. But for real fans of the show, it was a disaster. How Bristol stayed on the show until the final three is beyond me. If she would have won then the show would have suffered a backlash bigger than they expected. Maybe the producers played the game just long enough to keep the internet a buzz and the media giving the show even more attention. As ratings climbed via the controversy, negative publicity via Bristol Palin's continuous dancing on the show grew to new heights. Of course finally, Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey were the final two and we all know the outcome of that. But we don't know why there was such disparity in voting. The Judges on the show as well as the host kept reiterating the importance of voting. Meanwhile several people including myself had difficulty voting online. With the majority of websites using voting as a calculative way to data mine, we have no way of knowing how voting online is going to bite us later. Maybe Bristol was a sacrificial deer on the show to increase ratings and at the same time create a backlash. Creating a powerful dynamic Hegelian Dialectic. Bristol Palin on the show had so many interesting points, unwed teenage mother, daughter of a possible candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Bristol seen as a victim of unfair hostility, a story of a man who shot his TV regarding the results of Brandy being eliminated and Palin safe spread all over the media, a suspicious powder found at CBS studios and the entire DWTS staff evacuated, a terrorist threat - inherent danger, Bristol Palin addressing her haters, Bristol finally loosing. This was a great soap opera. Now Bristol can continue her reign as an activist for Abstinence.
Does anyone else see the irony?

Bristol Palin: Who Knew One Photo Would Cause So Much Trouble

Yes I took the above photo. It is currently running on People.com & Us Magazine.com
http://www.usmagazine.com/hotpics/photos/i-need-your-votes-2010511
I've covered Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) for several seasons. I always been a fan of dancing so it was a natural interest to follow the show. So this season, which is almost over, has been a roller coaster. Not just in front of the camera but behind the scenes. Just as DWTS is competitive, the competition between photographers as well as the agencies that sell the photos are highly volatile. After I sent my pictures of Bristol Palin in to the agency that sold the frame, in less than 24 hours I was contacted by another agent upset that I didn't send them the set when they saw my credit on People.com. Hey at least I get credit for my work for once. Personally I don't see what is so unusual about the picture. I think I send in good photos and videos all the time. Sometimes you are on a story like DWTS and you are shooting it for hours a day and nothing sells. And then one day the oddest thing does, case in point this picture. This picture has caused a reverberation of bad feelings between an agency and myself who felt that I slighted them whereas I think they are way off base. I'm a freelance photographer. I'm not owned by any agency. It is a funny world we live in.

Kurt Warner: Always A Champ

Dancing With The Stars has lost its mind this season. While Bristol Palin stays on, much more talented dancers have been booted. Such was the case with SuperBowl Quaterback Kurt Warner. Warner gave his all for that he is always a Champion. He gets extra points for being a loving husband and father.
