NEW YORK (CBS) Can Bristol Palin make it past this week's round of "Dancing with the Stars?" It'll probably depend on the loyalty of her fans.

With some support of "Mama Grizzly" fans from mom Sarah Palin, the 19-year-old has managed to escape elimination the past three weeks, despite being at the bottom of the judges' leader board.

"I'm just so thankful that they kept me another week and they see potential in me obviously," Palin told Us magazine. "Hopefully, I can prove that I can be a performer."

After her lackluster jive performance with partner Mark Ballas last Monday, which earned the lowest score of the night, Palin said she was "definitely surprised and shocked" when she was declared safe over Florence Henderson, who ended up being  the fifth contestant eliminated this season.

Tonight, Palin and the six other remaining couples will dance two routines -- including a rock-and-roll dance marathon.

Do you think she'll perform well enough and garner enough votes to make it past this week?
