Dancing with the Stars Season 11

Dancing with the Stars Season 11 had a natural favorite in the eventual winner, Jennifer Grey, who starred in one of the most famous dancing movies of the past generation. Season Eleven of DWTS invited some controversy by inviting the daughter of conservative politician Sarah Palin onto the show, but the debate about whether Bristol Palin was a celebrity soon faded when she finished a respectable 3rd on the show. The program also offered redemption to fallen star David Hasselhoff, as he continued his rehab from alcohol addiction. Despite my initial skepticism, Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars proved to be a feel-good competition.

Celebrities and Their Professional Partner - Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars

Here's a list of the celebrities and their professional partners from Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars:

Former fan favorites like Drew Lachey, Emmitt Smith, Apolo Anton Ohno, Helio Castroneves, Kristi Yamaguchi, Mel B. (Scary Spice), Kelly Osbourne, and Gilles Marini made appearances on the show, serving as both a departure and a reminder of the show's past excellence. New additions included the Rock-n-Roll Week and the TV Theme Week, while the Acoustic Week was a little less successful.

I had high expectations for Michael Bolton, whom I expected would embody style, sophistication, and soulfulness on the dance floor. That didn't exactly happen, as Bolton made a quick exit from the stage. Rick Fox was a charmer, though NBA basketball stars are at a disadvantage in a dance competition, because they tend to tower over their dance partners. Fans of Dancing with the Stars were impressed by the character and forthrightness of Superbowl winner Kurt Warner, whose 16-month rise from grocery attendant to NFL MVP quarterback would have been too implausible for a Hollywood movie.

"Noboby puts baby in a corner," so Jennifer Grey was the inevitable winner of this dance contest. My mother and sister loved Dirty Dancing and I imagine Jennifer Grey rode a tide of voting sentiment inspired by a generation love of that classic tale of love and dance.
