Last night, America spoke and they selected a new champion for the 11th season of Dancing with the Stars. As you may know, the final 3 contestants vying for the mirror ball trophy were Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin … and last night, one of these stars was crowned champion:
After the jump, see photos of the season 11 Dancing with the Stars champion posing triumphantly with the mirror ball trophy and hear what he/she had to say about his/her “unbelievable” victory …
With less than 10 minutes remaining in Tuesday’s live finale of Dancing with the Stars, millions of fans must have breathed a collective sigh upon learning that season 11′s controversial finalist Bristol Palin had come in third place. After weeks of tumult about Palin’s staying power thanks to an active voting fan base, in the end it was not enough and actress Jennifer Grey and partner Derek Hough were crowned the champs. “I didn’t even think about winning when I first started. This is so unbelievable,” said Grey, 50, who has had four neck surgeries and battled cancer. “I feel so grateful, so blessed, that I had this opportunity to spend three months learning to dance and getting paid for it. I don’t know that there’s any experience that will ever be anything like this again.” Meanwhile, this win is Hough’s third on the show, following last season’s victory with Nicole Scherzinger and season 7′s with Brooke Burke. With Hough’s help, Grey slowly made her way around the ballroom after the show to talk to press. Following Monday night’s performances, during which she earned two perfect scores, Grey ruptured a disc in her lower back. In between performances on Tuesday’s finale, Grey was visibly in pain. An ice pack was strategically tucked into her fringe dancing pants as she conducted post-victory interviews. Grey credited her husband, actor Clark Gregg, and their 8-year-old daughter, Stella, for their undying support of what she calls her ballroom dancing “immersion course.” “I’ve done nothing but sleep and take care of my injuries. They have been so amazing,” says Grey. “My husband has been taking care of everything and my daughter has become so much more self-sufficient. It’s been great for everyone. I found out my husband can cook!”
Now, I’m not a big DWTS fan by any stretch of the imagination but naturally I am always happen when a fave celeb of mine gets crowned champion of the show. I have loved Jennifer Grey for years and it just makes me really happy to see her bask in the glow of this win on Dancing with the Stars. Jennifer is 50 years old, y’all! From what I understand, she managed to pull off perfect 10 dances thruout the season and IMHO was the most deserving contestant of the season. Congrats and love goes out to Jennifer Grey on her win … I’m SO THRILLED that America did the right thing and awarded her the much-deserved championship.
What did y’all think of last night’s finale of DWTS? Did your fave win?
