DWTS Season 11 Old Rumor Redux – Jennifer Grey
This is either a very clever hoax, or the real deal. 🙂 If it’s a hoax, congratulations.
So a new twitter account is created called therealjgrey. She’s following 2 people – Derek Hough and Clark Gregg. If you Google Clark Gregg, it turns out he is Jennifer Grey’s husband. And he’s following this Jennifer back – he was the first one to do so.
You may also remember that we reported on Jennifer as a possibility for LAST season – and you know how these things come back to life. Jennifer is 50 years old and married. A little old for Derek, but she certainly doesn’t look it. Interesting – I hope it’s for real. 🙂
Who am I kidding? I just want him on the show.
People have been bitching about Derek always getting the hotties. If he gets the 50-year-old woman that should shut them up. Naw, who am I kidding–she’ll get labeled a ringing since she appeared in Dirty Dancing! LOL
Cori, it will go like it always does – “It’s about time Derek got a dud!! Yay!!” and then when he ends up doing much better than expected with them they’ll start crying foul. “Derek always gets good partners” – geez, maybe he’s a better teacher than the rest. 🙂
Oh, they’re already bitchin’ over at that pittiful board, it doesn’t matter how old Jennifer is to some, she’s definitely forever known as Baby, and it bugs them she’s paired with Mr. Dance.
The ABC boards need to burn in hell – some of the nastiest, bitterest, most misguided people frequent them, and unfortunately it seems like a lot of people draw a lot of incorrect conclusions from them, since they assume that since it’s the “official” board that it must also be a good measure of how the public feels about the show. But I agree that the double standard with Derek is just getting ridiculous – the anti-Derek faction will be thrilled if/when he gets Jennifer since she’s “old”, but will then be crying foul when she actually does decently, and rather than acknowledging the fact that “Hey, maybe he is actually just a really good teacher!”, they’ll say it’s unfair because of her experience from Dirty Dancing. What a lot of them don’t realize is that Jennifer’s training is primarily in classical ballet, and that the dancing both she & Patrick did in the movie is considered to be highly mediocre by ballroom standards – it looks like a ballet dancer trying to do ballroom. But who am I kidding – the idiots over at the ABC boards are the authority on everything, and Derek is once again getting an unfair advantage. **emphatic eye roll**
Derek needs a dud and only an old lady who can’t dance or someone the judges cannot sugar coat will make them happy. They cry double standard but they have a double standard for Derek. They were all clamoring for Joanna. He gets her and then they cry he needs a challenge. Okay, he got Lil Kim. She is tiny, has a bad reputation, people make fun of face and then they say he has a ringer. They say he needs to stop getting the younger partners. Louis and Mark have had more younger partners then Derek. I don’t think any of his partners were younger than 30. Joanna and Nicole were 30, 31. I guess it is easier to make up all this up than to admit he is good.
Derek has had hot women as partners. 30s is not old. But they make it sound like he has the younger starlet or athlete every season. When is a hot woman a good thing for this show? Usually they leave early. If people would just looked at his partners and compared it to other pros except Jonathan and Tony, they would see no favoritism.
Derek hasn’t gotten ringers (Nicole was his first one) but he has been lucky. Even Joanna had danced from 6 to 11 years old. I don’t believe Brooke was dance virgin either. The way she placed her feet and such told me that she had been around the dance studio once or twice.
Shannon was the only one that had no dance experience and was akward.
Shannon has a bad dancer but it was reported she took dance classes as a kid. Brooke had none. It goes to show what a difference talent makes. Shannon and Joanna dancing as kids really is not anything. Most actors in Hollywood took dance classes as a kid. Unless they kept it up or it was more recent than 13, it does not anything. But Derek’s not the only one who had celebs who had some dance experience as a kid. Derek’s had luck and his effort work together. It sounds like sour grapes to say it is just favoritism.
Just throwing it out there, name: HoughBaby
Andie, I like that HoughBaby for their Team name. I, for one, would love to see Derek partnered with Jennifer Grey. I think they will be great together. The haters can say what they want he is an incredible performer and teacher. He has the gift of bringing out the best in his partners and continues to break stereotypes. Agreed, the ABC message board his horrible.
Love him! Excited about the announcement on Monday.
Derek and Jennifer Grey would be Epic. A lot of pressure going in to it, but it seems he can handle it.
Derek’s so creative he’s always a major threat, even with the most pedestrian dancers.
Good luck to my favorite dancer Mark Ballas. I was so hoping Mark would get Brandy or Jennifer Grey but like the last two years it looks like hes getting another two left feet dancer! He always does his best and he also did win the title twice already. Good luck Mark!!!
Sorry, Rhonda, I think Brandy is too tall for Mark. We don’t actually know his dancer (and we’re not really even sure if he has Bristol or Margaret or someone else altogether) has two left feet. And look at it this way, he always seems to benefit in some way from his partnerships – isn’t he going to play himself for a bit on Melissa and Joey?? Besides, he’s pretty invested in his music right now – IF he leaves early, he has plenty to do. But there’s no reason to believe he will leave early, at this point.
I really admire Jennifer Grey’s tribute to Patrick Swayze on DWTS. Last night was just special. They got to dance to a song that is so iconic and it triggered great memories.
