Bristol Palin: "Prayer" got her through Dancing With the Stars
Poor thing. She talks as if she were one of the trapped Chilean miners.

====

(PEOPLE) -- Bristol Palin is happy with her third-place finish on "Dancing with the Stars."

But it hasn't been easy for the Alaska native, 20, who finished season 11 behind Kyle Massey and winner Jennifer Grey. Palin's run in the ballroom competition was plagued with controversy because, despite consistently lower scores from the judges, fans voted her through week after week. There was even a frightening moment when a threatening package arrived at the CBS studios where the show is broadcast.

"It is faith that got me through this and just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we'll get through this," Palin told PEOPLE after Monday's finale.

26. according to Margaret Cho
Bristol did this because Sarah blamed her for the loss of the election and insisted she go on to help reintroduce Sarah to the American public. I can't link because it was at Cho's concert in Durham where she said it.

31. Bristol's pregnancy pre-dated McCain selecting Palin for the ticket.
If Margaret Cho's account is true, then Palin is a more miserable human being than I thought she was.

4. I believe a LOT of people are praying whenever a Palin gets on TV
"God DAMN it" can be a prayer.

12. LOL. god is on her side in a television dancing program?!?!
I guess that's why god hasn't had the time to deal with pedophilia among the clergy, or the call to execute homosexuals among clergy in Africa or wars, famine and natural disasters...

god was too busy making sure Bristol Palin made it through to the next round of dancing with the stars.

that is one fucked up view of god.

23. God was on their side? Who is the other side? The people who voted for other contestants?
I hate these kind of comments. It brings up this imagined sense of superiority --- God got ME through it, but not you because you are on the other side --- God loves me but you not so much.

28. Yep - and Dog will now punish those who did not follow His will
It's all in the Good Book and is revealed by using the Bristol Palin Bible Code Phrase.

Sorry though, I cannot share that phrase, it is secret (but you can get an idea of how it works by reading "The Bible Code").

So Dog, better Luck next time with your Chosen One dancer - Oh, and with your Chosen Leader.

And I never knew that they held dance competitions at the Colosseum, thank you for that bit of history.

You know, they just don't teach you everything you should know in school anymore.

30. Yeah, I know. Its sad. Doles and Circuses to pacify the mob.
It is akin to dueling banjos or some like. I have to chuckle when I envision all those fundamentalists who think dancing is inspired by the devil applauding Bristol's prancing.

39. She's right
it had to have been prayer, because it sure was not talent--and definitely not attitude. Mark Ballas deserves a bonus for putting up with her and her in-the-spotlight family.
