I had already seen the story last week right after the show and was saving the article for this week. A blog reader also left a link about it in the comments last week (thanks Dawn!) too.
Just in case you missed it, a very irate viewer actually shot his TV, threatened his wife with a machete and threatened to shoot one of their cows.
Why would the cow have to suffer (not to mention his poor wife!) just because he didn’t like Bristol dancing?
In his defense, he suffers from bipolar disorder and perhaps they should think about blocking the channel if it makes him this emotional.
Be sure to check out the story. By the looks of his mug shot, I’m pretty sure anything could have set him off.
You know I don’t love Bristol and haven’t been a fan from the beginning but her dancing did NOT create any rage with me.
A little perspective goes a long way, don’t you think? It’s a TV show people. Entertainment for those who choose to watch. Not everyone is a fan.

Even though I love, love, love to watch Maks dance, I was glad to see Brandy go. She didn’t win me over. She was just too intense. Kind of desperate to win. Perhaps hoping for a career boost? I don’t know – there was a disconnection with her over-the-top “I MUST WIN THIS” speech she gave every week and her eyes welling up about how she wanted needed to win irritated me.
Okay, on to the finale…
My frivolous comments in dance order…
Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer – He has really brought his pure joy to the show so it’s easy to root for him! The kid wants to win. I’ll be delighted if he does.
Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough – She got perfect scores with both dances but I don’t think she has the win in the bag.
Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas – She is not the best dancer. She is not the most improved. But boy, oh boy, does she have some voting power behind her. I won’t be the least bit surprised if she wins.
All in all, the finale didn’t knock my socks off. Maybe I was distracted but I have enjoyed other finales in past seasons much more.
Still, I’ll tune in tomorrow to see who gets that coveted mirror ball trophy.
Side note: I think you will all be glad to know that I did not watch the Skating with the Stars show. Even if I do decide to watch it, I won’t be blogging about it!
Did you vote? Who did you vote for?
