The dancing partner of Audrina Patridge, eliminated earlier in the season, says Bristol has what it takes to go all the way!
Many may be outraged by Bristol Palin‘s appearance in the finals of Dancing With the Stars, but not dancer Tony Dovolani! Tony caught up with HollywoodLife at the KIIS FM Gifting and Broadcast Suite on November 19, 2010. “I’m excited for [Bristol]. Everyone always says to me, ‘How can we get an everyday average person on the show?’ And I feel like she represents that. I’m glad that she made it to the finals, I congratulate her.”
As for her chances of winning Tony said, “Why wouldn’t she have a chance to win? To me, I hope the person that deserves it the most wins.”
Before heading out, Tony picked up some great gifts including Sketchers and black suede over-the-knee Pastry boots for his wife.
Bristol and partner Mark Ballas will go up against Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough and Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer in the finals Nov. 22.

Unwed teenage mother? I would rather see her than a drunk driver who killed someone dancing- oh that’s right, Brandy was on there!

I don’t think Bristol has a chance of winning, she has improved but overall she is still a bad dancer.

Wrong, wait and see she’ll win. I think it’s a shame that she’s even in the finals. I won’t even bother to watch DWTS any more and I hope the show takes a dive to the bottom.
She (Bristol) should never have been asked to dance, what kind of star is see? She’s an unwed teenage mother, is this what we want to see on TV, I don’t. It’s called Dancing with the stars for a reason but unfortunately the producers are only thinking of money and ratings. Shame on them.
