Dancing With The Stars Jennifer Grey beats Bristol Palin, Kyle Massey

Jennifer Grey

The Dancing With The Stars 2010 Finale is over and much of America's breathing a collective sigh of relief that Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol Palin didn't win it all; Jennifer Grey did.

Last week, many DWTS viewers erupted in protest, as Palin beat singer Brandy to go to the finals, after a massive online voting campaign by Tea Party people and Palin fans overcame Bristol's low dance scores.

So ends another Palin Family media blitz engineered by some PR firm and GOP operatives, who managed to keep Bristol's ex Levy Johnston out of the picture (The two are pictured below.)

Palin and Levy Johnston

One midwestern man was so upset that Palin won he shot his television set. Others charged that the voting was rigged. And Dancing With The Stars producer Conrad Green said that they didn't know who cast the votes or how, adding fuel to the firestorm of controversy surrounding DWTS vote credibility.

Mr. Green and the DWTS minders can be forgiven if they worked to make sure Palin didn't win, considering the hue and cry from last week.

Bristol Palin Did Not Win

Lacie and Kyle

Palin, who with her dance partner Mark Ballas did perform much better even than last week, still got the lowest score of the three dancing couples.  Meanwhile, Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough, the favorites to win the contest according to the NY Daily News, got the highest score, with Kyle and his hot partner Lacey Schwimmer in second place.  That's the way it finished.

While the media talk is about Palin, Grey, the 50-year-old star famous for her role in Dirty Dancing expressed a great mix of talent, style and sexiness, on her way to grabbing the title.  But Kyle had the hottest dance partner in Lacie, who declared that the "loved this man" after the winners were announced.

DWTS Is Over

With all of that, Dancing With The Stars is over.  Once again, America's collective dislike for being told who to pay attention to produced ratings for a reality TV show.

In this case, outrage over the perception that Bristol Palin was inserted in DWTS as a kind of clandestine way to promote her Mom for president, got the collective gord of the country.
