Jennifer Grey: Dancing With the Stars Winner
Has been actress Jennifer Grey, 50, beat out has been actor Kyle Massey, and famous-for-having-unprotected-sex daughter, Bristol Palin. Bristol placed third while Kyle was in the 2nd slot. Season 11 is officially over, and the people who don't think Bristol deserved to make it this far can relax now.

When debating Bristol's DWTS qualifications, "haters" doesn't fit. The fact remains that Palin has no dancing talent. A "hater" tends to be one who has unwavering biased views (often unjustifiable at that), who goes in on anyone, for any reason, that they dislike. Those who didn't think Bristol should be cast or advance in the competition weren't hating, they were just stating the obvious.
I would say 'Congrats' to Jennifer if I actually cared, but I don't, so I'm not going to fake it. We've posted some details after the jump for those of you who would like to know what went down. I know, my promotional skills are impeccable.
Grey and pro partner Derek Hough entered the finale as clear frontrunners. The star burst into tears immediately after winning. The mother (to Stella, 8, with actor husband Clark Gregg) almost didn't dance on Tuesday after rupturing a disk the night before and visiting the hospital.
"I'm glad I did [dance]!" a tearful Grey (who endured multiple surgeries for thyroid cancer and an old neck injury before DWTS) admitted to host Tom Bergeron.
For champion Grey -- out of the Hollywood spotlight for years -- DWTS allowed her to face her fears following numerous medical scares.
"I'm ticking things off my list," she told Us in September. "I had a tumor removed; I had spinal surgery; I had four surgeries in three months...Now, here I am, dancing the jive! I am so happy!"

Jennifer Grey should have won BECAUSE she has a lot of dance training!!! It is a no-brainer that she had quite an edge on all of the contestants who had no formal training!!!
If you are rating dancers only on technique and star quality, Jennifer Grey was it. If you are rating dancers on the amount of improvement and determination untrained dancers had, then ANY of them should have beaten her!!!1
I loved Jennifer in Dirty Dancing but I find her remarks about Bristol to be more like gloating than being gracious. It wouldn't have cost her a single thing to be a gracious winner!!! Just goes to show what you get from Hollywood!!!
