I dont think it is rigged. It is half judges scores and half viewers votes. Now I know everyone is up at arms saying that the Tea Party is somehow messing up the voting system but the only way they can do that is if they have convinced loads of people who are Tea Partyers who didnt watch DWTS's before to vote for Bristol instead of anyone else. You only have so many votes per voting method each week. Its not like Idol where you can mass dial.
If you want your favorite to win...vote!
Use all your phone lines...cell, house, hubby's cell...lol. Vote using all your email addresses too. Thats 5 votes per method.
I am a Derek fan. I vote using my phone, Tony's phone, Billy's phone, Cory's phone, and two email addy's. I could do more email addy's but that would just be going a bit far...lol. I just use mine and get Billy to use his and vote.
