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.

DWTS is like Idol or any of the other reality “talent contests”. The producers specifically select participants with a range of abilities so viewers can readily form opinions as to whose performance is better. They mix in soon-to-be or near pro talent with those who are clearly over their heads. Thus, consensus as to favorites and underdogs is also readily formed.
Plain and simple. She starred in a movie called, "Dirty Dancing". DUH.
As if that wasn't enough, Derek Hough is DWTS' best dance partner.
