DWTS Season 15 All Stars….Bristol Palin???
In Ted Casablanca’s source’s world, yes. In my world, no. Ted incited a minor riot on Twitter with this little gem:
It’s roughly seven weeks until the first rehearsals, assuming the September 24 start date rumor is for real. I would have to go back and look, but I don’t think we got legit-sounding rumors until 3 weeks or so before rehearsals the last couple seasons.
So, as I told my friends on Twitter, it is much too early for legitimate cast leaks coming out of DWTS. Of course, that said, this isn’t a normal season, is it? While I’m still inclined to think Ted’s got it wrong, you do have to admit that some things may not follow normal patterns this season. So….real or not real? I think that Bristol would do it in a heart beat. Despite her claims of missing her beloved Alaska and acting oh so superior to all those low class Hollywood types, she’s hardly been shunning the spotlight, what with her lawsuit causing reality show and all. So sure, Bristol would do it. But have they actually signed her or did they just talk to her? I would bet the latter – it’s all stars, they are probably talking to everyone. But I think they will wait to sign the tops of their list before going for people like Bristol. After all, the Palin stock has dropped rather precipitously since she was last on the show. I don’t think she’s a big “get” any longer.
Of course, I’m a reasonably rational person who actually watches the news. The same may not be said for Conrad Green and his crew. 
Who knows how in touch they are…or how desperate.
She was mentioned in the new ET teaser too. I’m getting scared.
Btw, I received some heat at PDWTS facebook for my opinion on Bristol in the ET post. See…this is why I am not looking forward to her dancing.
No. Just, no. Please. I beg them.
I am with you V!
We all dreaded that TPTB would screw up the All Star season. If this true, TPTB can finally win an Emmy for destroying what is a highly anticipated season. (If they gave out Emmys for killing a show)
Loyal fans of DWTS all have sentimental favorites from the past seasons. We have all looked forward to either reuniting past couples OR seeing how far new pairings could go. With all the people saying they would like to come back, why go for the controversy? After the drama of Ssn 14, I so wanted my classic happy DWTS show from seasons past. A show with no pimping, an appearance of fairness, and just plain joy of dancing! No dance duels, no double eliminations, no Viagra for Bruno, Xanax for Carrie Ann, regular colonics for Len. Hopefully, the 3 judges have recovered from their amnesia (possibly head trauma) and will not be saying “This is the best (fill in the blank) in all 15 seasons!” Is that too much to ask, TPTB?
If anyone other than Derek has had very decent celebs, it’s been Mark Ballas. I know he says he loves Bristol like a sister, but I’m sure he’d prefer Shawn, Kristi, Chelsea, and heck even Melissa Joan Hart over Bristol.
Couldn’t agree more with the last three comments!
Whats even more scarier is that this is an election year. All the wacky folk will start coming out of the woodwork, and I feel that Bristol will overstay her welcome once again.
I really don’t want to see her nasty face on my TV at all. She just comes off as a mean, hateful, and unappreciative brat. Sorry to all of the Bristol lovers but that’s how I feel.
I really hope this isnt true. I really don’t want to see her on DWTS again
I’m not the least bit worried about Bristol. Even if she does do the all-star season, I daresay the wholesome, girl-next-door image she was trying to portray 2 years ago on DWTS has been shot to sh*t since then, between her simultaneously trashing Glee and the president on Twitter, rumors of plastic surgery floating around, and her reality show being cancelled after only two episodes (and in that time, said show being slapped with TWO lawsuits…one of which from Kyle Massey), I don’t think the whole “poor, innocent Bristol” act is going fly this go-round. She isn’t gonna be able to pull in sympathy votes like last time, and as much as the Tea Partiers would LOVE to take credit for her going as far as she did 2 years ago (I still say it’s the judges’ fault she stuck around), I’m gonna wager a guess that they’re going to have their hands full supporting Romney in the upcoming election and won’t have time to waste on some reality show that doesn’t mean squat. And since this is an all-star season, she’s likely going to be going head to head with far more likeable, popular contestants – in season 11, she may have been able to squeak through when up against lesser-known reality stars like Audrina Patridge & The Situation, or people that had been out of the spotlight for awhile like Rick Fox & Brandy, but do you really think she’s gonna be able to best juggernauts like Carson & Mel B in the votes department? Or dance better than someone like Stacy Keibler? IF she is indeed doing the show (and that’s a BIG IF, because I don’t think the producers see her as such a draw this time around), she isn’t gonna have the same storied run she did in season 11. It’s going to be a lot harder this time around.
Surely this is a very unfunny joke…are you kidding me. I would actually rather see Kate Gosselin.
Maybe Donny O agreed to do the show if the rest of the spots are filled with people like Bristol instead of people like Gilles, Stacy… so he can be sure to win again. Joke, (I know, a bad stupid one, should just keep myself quiet)
Court, I bet you are right. If she’s dancing, she’ll get voted out early this time.
Same here!
I feel sorry for any of the pros who might get either one of them if they dance. I hope TPTB won’t do this to them.
I don’t care very much about Bristol one way or the other…but I don’t want to see her on DWTS. She does strike me as snooty and if there is one thing I hate with a passion, it’s arrogance.
I do think Courtney probably hit the nail on the head, though. Although, it does make you wonder…if partner switching happens, and somebody like Bristol (not necessarily her, but somebody who was not well received by many viewers in the past) gets paired with a fandom jugernautt like say, Derek, or Maks, or even Cheryl…it might be interesting to see how that would play out. I’m still hoping not to see any of those types of people on my TV come September, though.
So we are possibly could have a return of bristol…..ugh. if they are switching partners, who would even get her? i am hoping not tony becuase i can see him just flipping out like he did with kate gosselin.
Saying that, if the partner switching does happen, I think I have an idea who might get her: Val. he is close to mark’s height and i just don’t wantto see bristol and derek paired up together. i would have to want derek gone by week two then and that would be sad.
Bristol Palin is the perfect choice. She has a huge fan base and she will pump up the DWTS ratings, as she did in Season 11. She and Mark had incredible chemistry. She is fantastic with Mark Ballas and of course she proved that she can dance beautifully, under Mark Ballas’ tutelage!! I certainly hope that Bristol will be one, of the chosen few. All her fans will tune in faithfully, myself included!
Ok, no campaigning guys – that gets old VERY quickly. Anyone else posting a long essay extolling the virtues of Bristol Palin (or any other contestant) gets deleted, no questions asked.
As for you, Karen – you make so many unfounded, blanket statements in your comment that I just have to shake my head and laugh. Please make the distinction between your own opinion and proven facts.
Didn’t Bristol say not-o-nice things in her book about the show? I think that is enough for the show to say no thanks.
Why yes vin, in fact she did. Thank you for reminding us
Sounds like some people need a big dose of reality.
I think I have solved the Bristol problem…pair her with Maks
Well, actually, Maks has had more great partners than Derek too, sheery.
While I’m inclined to agree with Courtney, applying logic to anyone with “Tea Party Member” after their name is likely a huge mistake.
:::sigh::: There was NO NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN RATINGS DUE TO BRISTOL PALIN. I know you tea party types seriously believe that if you spout bullshit enough times it will become fact, but that generally doesn’t fly around here. We have pretty good bullshit detectors.
Oh no!! I don’t want see her on DWTS again!!!
If anything Bristol Hollywood will HURT the ratings. We won’t be watching. When will the Palins ever stop molesting America?
I think all of the above b—s–t is exactly why producers will pay her enough to change her misgivings…constant controversy, discussion and drama, curiosity=ratings. You would think for all the years fans have been loyal and turned out in huge rating numbers the PTB would return the favor with the greatest dancers and thus, entertaining show.( Yes, my address is Fantasyland, USA )! It gets more depressing every day, they seem SO very determined to screw it up.
Ya know…last season, there were times I felt like we were baited with rumors to keep us talking, guessing, and to keep the real cast under wraps until they were ready to announce it. I don’t know if they are or would do that or not, but, I hope so bad this is a bait and nothing else will come of it. Please please please. lollllll.
Vogue…..Are you my next-door-neighbor in Fantasyland !!LOL!! I believe in unicorns, too !! You ??
lol Well, as a matter of fact…? lollllll
I kind of felt in the end that Bristol looked down on DWTS and only did it to get exposure. She got some after the show but it’s been downhill since then. She’s no different than a fame whore (can I say that here??) who is on one reality show after another. Maybe Bristol should hook up with Jake Palveka. They’re made for each other.
Fame whore fame whore fame whore…yep, you can say it.
LOL!!!!!
I think IF she does do it and is paired with a different partner, it could be Val, not because of height, but because he is a Republican lol. Although….Derek does have Republicans in the family…….
Seriously, I think it would be Tristan.
Sherry, I do hope you were joking, and not serious? Still fairly early in the AM for me, and have allergies filling my head so full it’s hard to breathe, much less think…..
Politics should, and has been in the past, the LAST criteria used to pair people, election year or not. Politics does not belong on the dance floor…. When they’re practicing or performing, they’re student/teacher DANCERS, and that’s all that matters.
Remember Tom DeLay? His partner wasn’t Republican.
Political figures should not on the show at all. It takes away from the beauty of this wonderful show, and fills it with such negativity and hatred. BOO to the thought of any politicians.
Amen, Sandy. Except for Bill Clinton. I would kill to see that and he’s not likely to be talking politics.
Sheery, if Bristol is indeed dancing, I can see a Val pairing too …unfortunately.
NOOOOO again?!?! The producers got us to suffer through one season of her terrible dancing boring/almost non-existent personality and stupid comments, why again?
Lori,
Yes, in a way I was joking, but I can see Bristol “requesting” someone specific. (If Mark is going to be paired with SB). Although, she is fond of Tony since he helped her while she was on (after he was voted off with Audrina).
Lol, maybe they’ll pair her up with Maksim.
Does it matter of she is on or not? I mean I hate her like most of you do, but than again c’mon it could be another laugh we can all get.
I seriously doubt they’d pair Bristol with Maks since he’s “tainted” by being associated with a democrat. LOL.
He taught Chelsea Clinton to dance for her wedding reception.
[...] the first time and how she’s “not sure she even wants to be asked to do it again” Bristol Palin – one source reporting she’s “confirmed” for the all-star season. [...]
Maybe she’ll be voted off first and we all can relax and enjoy the show.
The judges allowed Bristol along with the phoney voting.
how much longer does America have to be faced with another disgusting display of Bristol Palin. She looked like a log being dragged across the dance floor,
The monkey suit suited her prefect. If DWTS is so desperate for ratings they certainly picked the wrong person in Bristol Palin.
I AM SICK OF THE PALINS, its all about money
after her disgusting display I really have lost
interest in watching.DWTS
Mark has a ego problem, I think Maks would not put up with her poor me,
please DO NOT HAVE HER ON THE PROGRAM
I WILL NOT WATCH, SPONSORS SHOULD WAKE UP
THANK YOU ALL
Oh goody. I have another season of Soapbox Rob’s Bristol-fueled rants to look forward to. *eye roll* This will NOT be a repeat of season 11, when you clogged up the comments section of every post with page-long diatribes about how the Palins’ political agenda was ruining the show, Rob. I now have no qualms deleting them & blocking you. Got it?
Rob, apparently more people tuned in while you were tuning out lol.
What Rob has failed to realize is that if he is not watching the show, yet is ranting and raving about it on a fan site, he’s blatantly trolling…and around here we banish trolls back to their caves
