And the Winner of 'Dancing With the Stars' Is....

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 23rd 2010 11:22PM

Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin

After an eventful finale where Kyle Massey, Bristol Palin and Jennifer Grey gave it their all, it became obvious that any one of them could win the Mirror Ball trophy. Who was crowned the 'Dancing With The Stars' winner for Season 11. (Spoiler alert!) >>

Jennifer Grey has won dancing with the stars along with her dance partner Derek Hough. Grey topped the leaderboard for seven of the competition's 10 weeks. Looks like no one puts baby in a corner after all.

"I didn't think I was going to compete tonight, and I'm really glad I did," said a tearful Grey, who battled back problems all season.

Kyle Massey and his dance partner Lacey Schwimmer came in the runner-up position.

Bristol Palin and her dance partner Mark Ballas came in third place. As we had reported earlier, big offers await her irrespective of her performance including endorsements, book contracts and TV show offers. Get more at TV Squad.

Amid growing speculation she will make a presidential bid in 2012, Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin said November 17, 2010 she could beat President Barack Obama to the White House. Palin told ABC News she was seriously considering running to secure the Republican presidential nomination. Now one of the most popular conservatives in America, Palin solidified her life in the spotlight by launching her own reality show on Sunday, featuring her family fishing, kayaking, bear-watching and relaxing in their tiny hometown of Wasilla.

Vote down Vote up Report this

Yes, Jennifer was the best... She has been a dancer since before conception... Her father, is none other than Joe Grey, profesional dancer....
She went into dirtry dancing already as qualified as Patrick Swayze!! So she has been exposed all 50 years!!
For Bristol to have had NO previous training at all,I think that says a lot!!
To me, whether she fisically has her award or not, she was the winner.
Good luck Bristol in you future endeavors.
Oh, By the way... I for one will not judge you for having a child out of wedlock... I can say that I am happy YOU KEPT YOUR CHILD!! You should be sooo proud about that!!! Continue with your thick skin. Be proud!1 You did great!!!

Jennifer and Derek made a mistake in the first dance, and if I saw it the judges must have seen it. But they still gave them 10s. Also, in the end it doesn't matter if the fans vote, because the judges make the final scores to fit exactly who they want to win. So why even have fans vote at all for the finals.

By Mary Lee

If that's the case then Bristol would have been gone alot earlier, but it was the viewers vote that kept her in. The judges' votes were 50% and the fans were 50%. When Brandy lost out, her fan votes were probably divided between Kyle and Jennifer. Kyle(108) could have easily won- his total points were only 2 pts. below Jennifer and Dereks(110). Even with 1 mistake and 1 less point they still would have won hands down. Do the math. If you read how the scoring percentages were done, someone with low judging scores but extremely high fan votes could still certainly win.

By art

to be honest as far as monday and tuesday, that's how i seen it. it was the judges call. still think they were the best with Kyle a very close 2nd.

I guess her mom stayed away because she only endorses frontrunners-it would be bad for her brand to show up and her daughter didn't win. Sarah scheduled a book signing in Phoenix AZ. on the biggest night of her daughter's life. I'm sure the private jet was gased and ready though in Arizona in case Bristol won, then Sarah would have flown in and taken credit. I give her one thing-she has a good business model because these republicans are buying books and evereything, it's mostly the world war 11 generation though-in 20 years the republican party will be extinct.

X-JerseyGuy ...

How rude can a person be. I'm sure your life is lily white and without a fault. Shame on you!

By violet

I read on ABC news website that Bristol said at the beginning of the program that if she wins, that is like a middle finger to the people who don't like her and her mother. I think the Palins are uncouth and needs to be taught manners.....like the remarks on Facebook. Can you imagine them being the President's children. You can tell that their mother hasn't been around when she should have.

By iron_liberal

Violet~ I don't think you can distinquish what Bristol said and what some other person posted stated. You're really not that smart. Some ABC webiste does not mean is a Palin quote.

By Kingsrulal

They showed the clip and she did say that.

By chatzey

Professional dancers like Grey shouldn't be in DWTS....she's been dancing most of her life. Bristol has done fantastic and is definitely the one I'll vote for. Every week you could see how much better she was doing. For a novice, she earned all those points and should win!

By Cheryl

Jennifer Grey was not a professional dancer. She did one movie with Patrick Swayze many, many years ago and has not danced since until now. So she deserved that win tonight.

By kelly

in that case... at least Jennifer Grey should be on dancing with the stars cause she was and is a "star"... what is Bristol's claim to fame to being on that show? Oh, yeah, she was a pregnant teeenager, who had a kid out of wedlock...great qualifications...sorry, she sucks!
