Jennifer Grey Brings Dirty Dancing to Dancing With the Stars (Video)

I have to confess, I don't watch Dancing with the Stars.  But I still want Jennifer Grey to win.  Because she was in Dirty Dancing, and I love that movie.  Also, from what I've seen of her routines, she's amazing.  Last night was the final dance-off before the winners are announced in tonight's episode (read Jon's recap if you missed it).  The final three celebrities (Jennifer Grey, Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey) each competed last night.  But Jennifer Grey had some big nostalgia to fall back on, and she brought out the big guns.

She didn't perform the Dirty Dancing routine to "I've Had the Time of My Life", which was okay.  I think her doing that dance with anyone but Patrick Swayze would have made me sad, but she carried a watermelon right into an updated rendition of "Do You Love Me?"  Her partner, Derek Hough, performed a pretty spectacular frog-jump over Jennifer and then spent the rest of the free-style dance whirling her around.  The two of them even jumped up on the judges' table towards the end of their routine.

I don't even need to know what anyone else did.  Jennifer was incredible in this routine.  Someone give her the prize.  Check out the video below.  We also included the original "Do You Love Me" routine from Dirty Dancing.
