After Bristol Palin brought unprecedented buzz and ratings to “Dancing with the Stars,” the show’s producers are dying to go back to the Palin well, FOXNews.com reported Wednesday.
This time they want Bristol’s dad, Todd.
“They want him big time,” a source told E! Online. “They’d love Sarah, but they don’t think that will ever happen, so why not go for the dad.”
The show is also after another politician’s daughter, Meghan McCain, as well. Which would mean, if producers have their way, that family members of the 2008 GOP Presidential ticket would instead be competing against one another.
“Dirty Dancing” star Jennifer Grey was named the champ of “Dancing with the Stars” season 11, but Bristol Palin was the season’s bigger story.
Palin’s run to the finals was full of intrigue. The show’s most improved dancer, Palin was nonetheless maligned for being the least talented of the final three, especially when she beat the singer Brandy after the latter received perfect scores for her dance.
