Really, Bristol Palin was working at a real job here in Alaska when DWTS contacted her and asked if she would be willing to do the show. She is not the glory hound that her sleaze ball ex boyfriend is. She is a lovely young woman who has held up under great grace. It may say "Stars" in the title of the show, but I have watched this for several seasons and had NO idea who some of the people that were dancing were. Of course, until February of this year, I had never had satellite or cable and I don't watch sports. Sometimes ignorance IS bliss.
