I loved this season of Dancing with the Stars!! And this season was so good. There was a great list of celebrities. Derek Hough has always been my favorite professional dancers and this season had such an amazing partner in Jennifer Grey (you know her because of her performance in Dirty Dancing) Anyways Jennifer and Derek worked EXTREMELY well together and what is even more incredible is that Jennifer is 50 years old and was able to still do moves like this...
Jennifer suffered so many injuries this season and wasn't sure if she was going to be able to perform, but she persevered and came up on top!! According to Wikipedia "Prior to her stint on Dancing with the Stars, Grey had a physical examination to ensure that she was fit enough to compete. In addition, Grey saw a doctor to address chronic neck problems caused by the car accident years before. Her spinal cord was compressed and her surgeon said "If you fell or got rear-ended, you'd be paralyzed". Surgeon Robert S. Bray placed a titanium plate in her neck to stabilize her spinal cord but also told her to see another doctor about a suspicious white spot on her thyroid that he'd seen on her MRI. Grey had believed the spot to be a benign nodule but it was cancerous and was removed. Grey told ABC's Good Morning America she believes the cancer was caught before it metastasized and that she is now cancer-free. On the November 8 episode, it is revealed that she has a partially torn knee tendon." (Information in Italicized copied from Wikipedia)
Even tonight at the finale she had an injured disc in her back and wasn't sure if she was going to be able to perform, but she came back tonight to WIN!!! Congrats Derek and Jennifer
