Well Jennifer Grey is a performer and has been dancing for years. Really when you think about it, it’s like having an amateur football game and a professional shows up to play.
I definitely agree. The whole thing was a farce. That being said I don’t watch the show.
I guess all the libtards can put down their sniper rifles and go home now.
A “ringer”!
Also a sympathy vote as well as an excellent dancer.
Really too bad about the nose.
It was inevitable. Jennifer Grey is a dancer, she was a ringer.
Bristol Palin, Penn Jillette, Buzz Aldrin, Steve Wozniak, Steve-O — these are famous people who otherwise have no business on a dance floor. They are the epitome of the pro/amateur combo that the show is supposed to be about.
It’s like having Roy Halladay show up to pitch for the other team at your son’s Little League game.
Grey was a ringer.
For those who are concerned that it wasn’t fair because some contestants had more dancing experience, is it fair that Bristol was 19-20 while Jennifer is 50 with a partially torn knee tendon and a plate in her neck? DWTS also mixes 80 year olds with 20 year olds, is that fair?
Jennifer was the best or one of the best dancers every week on DWTS. A quick look at her filmography seems to show that most of her roles were non dancing. “Dirty Dancing” was 23 years ago.
DWTS also promotes parent company Disney shows/people - Kyle Massey, Billy Ray Cyrus, one of the Cheetah Girls and others - and they seem to last for weeks on the show.
Bristol was better than show biz types Margaret Cho and Michael Bolton, but she was not better than Kurt Warner or Rick Fox, who weren’t dancers either. Was that fair to them?
And those who think all the dancers should be amateurs. Right, the audience for that would last as long as one for amateur football games.
I didn’t watch DWTS the first couple of years and I was shocked at the quality of the performances when I finally did watch it. The level of dancing on DWTS is very high - good enough for Broadway or Vegas.
Now I watch sporadically with emphasis on the last month or so. The only season (they have 2 seasons a year) I skipped was when Maks wasn’t dancing :-).
