Dirty Dancing's Jennifer Grey a 'perfect' star

Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey outscored her fellow Dancing With the Stars finalists on Monday in their last bid for viewer votes, finishing with a perfect score.

The 50-year-old actress and her professional partner earned 60 points out of 60 for their two dances on Monday, bringing them into yesterday's season finale in first place.

"We left it all out on the dance floor," pro dancer Derek Hough (a friend of Cheryl Cole) said after Monday's competition, before racing off with Grey to rehearse for yesterday's show.

Actor Kyle Massey finished second Monday with 56 points for his two dances with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer. Bristol Palin and her partner, Mark Ballas, collected 52 judges' points.

Palin said it was challenging to overcome the flurry of media coverage that erupted when she outlasted Brandy on the hit ABC show, prompting some viewers to question the veracity of the Dancing voting system.

"It sucks that people still don't think I deserve to be here," Palin said on Monday's show. "People freaked out when we got saved and Brandy was eliminated. We continue to improve week by week, and people don't acknowledge that."

On Monday, each couple performed a "redemption dance" chosen by the judges — an opportunity to improve on a dance they did poorly earlier in the season — as well as an anything-goes freestyle dance.

Grey and Hough redeemed themselves with a paso doble that head judge Len Goodman called "fantastic." Judge Carrie Ann Inaba called the couple's freestyle dance, filled with flips and tricks, "perfect" — and scored it as such.
