'Dancing with the Stars' 2010: Jennifer Grey gets perfect score from judges in finale

Call it an elegant prance from reel life to real life: The judges really DO love Jennifer Grey now that she can dance!
On Monday night's "Dancing with the Stars" finale, Grey and partner Derek Hough wowed the judges - and the audience - with their determined, passionate turns in a sultry paso doble and, appropriately, a freestyle dance to The Contours' "Do You Love Me" from "Dirty Dancing."
"I'm a badass, what can I say?" Grey mugged for the cameras before taking to the stage in a conservative pink sweater, which Hough later ripped open to reveal a glittery hot pink two-piece ensemble.
The pair hopped onto the judges' table and shimmied and shook up an equally excited crowd that included Grey's good friend Jamie Lee Curtis. She and Hough finished off the energy-infused dance by collapsing on the ground and beaming ear-to-ear.
When asked about her song choice for the crucial number, Grey quipped that "Time of Your Life," was something she still associated with her late on-screen partner and costar Patrick Swayze, while the upbeat "Do You Love Me" seemed perfect for her freestyle dance on the show.The pair scored two perfect scores for their performances (ABC).
Grey and Hough scored two perfect scores for the night, with a 30 out of 30 in both dances. Of her redemption dance, the paso doble, Len Goodman delivered a poignant one-person standing ovation, Bruno Tonioli exclaimed "I wish I had an 11!", and Carrie Ann Inaba hugged Grey tightly as she proclaimed, "This is the meaning of redemption!"
The night's two other competitors, Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin, got their fair share of feedback as well.
Ever-charismatic Massey and Lacey Schwimmer danced the fox trot and got a 27 out of 30, with the judges commending the competition's last man standing on his improved technique. The pair did their freestyle piece as a throwback, to 69 Boyz's "Tootsie Roll," earning them a 29 out of 30 for a grand total of 56 out of 60.

A nervous Palin and partner Mark Ballas danced the gorilla dance again, sans costumes, and got a cool 27 out of 30 and plenty of encouragement from Mama Palin in the audience, who high-fived the person next to her and blew kisses at the dramatic dance finish.
For her freestyle piece, Palin jumped on the no-pants trend in a lacy black top and knee-high boots, dancing her way out of a jail cell in a number from Chicago that earned her 25 out of 30 for a total of 52 out of 60 for the night. The judges called it a "good attempt" but ultimately hit the teen mom with a modest score, though Len assured her it was "no disaster."
The results will be announced on Tuesday evening's show, and until then, the final three await their fate.
"I've rediscovered this whole passion for dancing, this joy," Grey told host Brooke Burke of her thrilling night. "It's such an amazing thing and it would be amazing to win [the competition]."
