Teen mom Bristol Palin says she won't show any skin on "Dancing With The Stars" and she plans to wear a lot of fur to remain modest.
There are also reports that Palin is having a very difficult time learning to dance with professional partner Mark Ballas.
Us Magazine says sources close to the show that Palin is "terrified" and is struggling with performing in public.
"Bristol is terrified," a source told the magazine. Palin "isn't naturally outgoing .. and doesn't have any performing background."
Ballas was reportedly wasn't happy getting Palin as a dance partner but is in a better mood, because of the publicity expected around Palin's appearance.
PopEater said Palin's plan to remain conservative on a show where a lot of women were skimpy outfits is to wear a lot of natural fur.
"Bristol made clear to the costume designers that she loves fur," a source told PopEater.
Part of the plan is to play up her connection to Alaska by featuring fur costumes.
"You mark my words," the Palin friend told the blog. "Real Americans are going to come out and vote to keep Bristol dancing for a long time.
Palin, daughter of presumptive presidential candidate Sarah Palin, has been called "this season's Kate Gosselin" by people on the show.
"Bristol was really annoyed by all the questions about whether her mom would be in the audience to support her," the source told the Hollywood Reporter. "She kept complaining about the amount of press she had to do. She is acting like this is all a big pain."
Bristol Palin reportedly drove from Alaska with her baby to Los Angeles for the show, and has rented a place to stay there.
