Brandy and Maksim Perform on "The View": Do They Feel Robbed?

This week was a tough week for Brandy and Maksim from Dancing with the Stars. They were eliminated and it would seem as if a large percentage of the viewing audience disagrees. The most shocking aspect is the fact that Bristol Palin remains in the show despite receiving the lowest scores from the judges week after week. Now it turns out that she will be in the show's finale next week. If she beats Jennifer Gray and Derek Hough, people are bound to get a bit crazy!

Brandy and Maksim performed on The View this morning and as soon as they finished the audience roared with cheers and applause. When Brandy was asked whether or not she felt robbed she basically went on to say that she felt that Bristol Palin has improved quite a bit since the beginning of the show.

The View co-host Joy Behar then turned to Maks to get the truth and he kept it fairly clean and fair. Maks began talking about how many other dancers were robbed, including Mel B., and that he did feel like their team performed better than Bristal and Mark.

Bristol is definitely feeling the pressure of Brandy and Maks' elimination and she's getting tired of all the "haters". Her argument is that she is getting more votes because she is more relatable to most people when compared with more popular celebrities. It still seems a bit odd that she's getting so many votes but all we can do is keep watching to see who is crowned the winner next week!

Brandy Leaves Dancing With The Stars: Man Shoots TV Over Bristol Palin In Finals

Brandy leaves "Dancing with the Stars" this week! Did anyone see that being the news today? Bristol Palin is in the finals! It is safe to say many saw Brandy heading into the finals for the competition, and some could even say she was expected to win. It all came down to her and Jennifer Grey. Those are the two best performers this season. However, some are now wondering if Bristol Palin will come out and win the season.  Yes, Jennifer watch your back! That mirror ball trophy could end up on Bristol Palin's shelf instead of yours.

Many viewers are already upset over Bristol Palin ending up in the final three this season. The outrage over Brandy's elimination has some saying "Dancing with the Stars" let politics take over, and they won't watch the series anymore because of it. Yes, Bristol might be losing viewers for the series. She shocked everyone including the professional dancers still in the competition.

One male viewer was so upset about Bristol Palin making it into the finals, he shot his television set once the announcement was made, according to USA Today. He then was involved in a fifteen hour standoff with authorities. That is one upset viewer. Most wouldn't go to that extreme, but it is definitely safe to say that no one expected Bristol Palin to make it into the finale with Brandy being sent home this week.

Brandy was a strong dancer.  Top of the leader board week after week. After the announcement was made, she said she was numb. Completely understandable. After receiving a thirty for one of her performances this week, she probably felt pretty safe in the competition. This just shows viewers how important it is to vote.
Now, there will be the controversy surrounding Bristol's continued journey on the series. Did mama Sarah Palin help her baby girl out with the votes? Or is the Palin family just hot right now! Sarah Palin's Alaska has also earned five million viewers for TLC. The Palin family could just be quite popular.

Brandy has left "Dancing with the Stars" this season, but she performed well, and it looks like this has brought the singer back to life and out of her shell once again after a slumping musical career and a tragic car accident. That is the upside to it all! Were you surprised to see Brandy leave the series last night?
