'Dancing With the Stars' Redemption Dances: Who did it best?

One of the two dances for the "Dancing With the Stars" finals was a Redemption Dance, where each finalist had to perform a dance the judges thought they should've performed better than they did the first time around.For Kyle Massey, it's the fox trot, which the first time he and Lacey performed as a sassy '70s disco number that barely kept Kyle stayin' alive. This time around, they performed a more traditional fox trot to "I'm Feelin' Good." The judges were very complimentary and we agree, it was a huge improvement over the first one. Len says, "So much better than that first one ... You've gone from Messy Massey to Marvelous Massey" and Bruno calls it "slick, sharp and slinky." Kyle got 9s across the board for a 27.
Bristol Palin's Redemption Dance is the jive, which if you'll remember she performed in a literal monkey suit the first time. This time she and Mark dance to "Move (You're Stepping On My Heart" from "Dreamgirls." It's better ... but she's still so stiff and unsure. This is a peppy dance and she barely picks up her feet. Mark is so high-stepping that her smaller movements are even more pronounced.
Bruno says, "You had a good time, you didn't care and we all enjoyed it." Carrie says, "You never cease to amaze me." Hmm. Even Len is complimentary, with "vast improvement." The judges give her 9s for a 27. Geez, really? That was as good as Kyle?
The Redemption Dance for Jennifer Grey is the paso doble, which was her lowest score of the competition. This time she and Derek do the paso to a song we don't know the name of. It was miles better than the first time around, very dramatic and sweeping. Carrie Ann sums it up with, "This is the meaning of redemption" and Len loves the "expression and aggression" and gives her a standing ovation. The judges give her three 10s for a 30.
So who redeemed themselves the most? If you go strictly by score improvement, it was Jennifer, going from a 20 to a 30. Kyle went from a 20 to a 27 and Bristol went from an 18 to a 27. Who do you think won the first round?

Jennifer and Whiny Brandy miss the point. Its about the fans, not them. We're all tired of hearing about Jennifer's neck and Brandy's "laughable" tough life. They're whiny and don't give a crap about the fans unlike Bristol and Kyle. that's why their left standing
Jennifer and Derek are fabulous! They deserve the trophy!! They proved their capabilities throughout the season and tonight they were GREAT!!!!!!!! Vote for them!!
I cannot believe they stacked the votes the way they did tonight. Kyle was perfect and deserved all 10's; Bristol deserved all 9's for her free style and if the truth be told Jennifer Grey made at least five (5)misteps and her partner carried the difficult moves in her free style. While she deserved all 10's for her redemption dance, she Did NOT deserve any better than 9's for her free style. And I certainly hope your not listing the numbers at the end does not achieve what you hope. I certainly hope Bristol's fans were smart enough to write down the number the ONE time they gave it and Kyle actually wins because he DOES deserve it.
I tried to vote for Derek and Jennifer and the phone number for them kept saying not in service. What is up?
I have been voting for Bristol mainly, I have seen a great improvement in her dancing since the beginning. I feel this show should be about people who have never been "movie star" people who have danced in a professional way before. Even though Jennifer has been in only one dancing movie that I am aware of, she has had dancing experience. I feel Bristol and the young man named Kyle have done a wonderful job and shown great improvement in what I feel is the important part of the show. If it is all about people who have had dancing and/or singing and have done routines before, then have a show just for those people.
I can't believe they gave Bristol three 9's, when they did terrible compared to Kyle and Lacy. Bristol's footwork was slower and out of sink.
Get a life and have a seat Bristol baby. Its about the best dancing and you dont even come close.
Loved both Kyle and Jennifer, but Jennifer was the best! She deserves to win, and Kyle should be so proud of himself because he always brings forth a great performance! I voted right away, and others should too. Bristol, on the other hand, was just plain bizarre in that "cagey" dance-what was she thinking? She seems like a nice young lady, but should go back to Alaska, take care of her son, perhaps focus on an education, and give up any hopes of making it in the dancing arena. How she got as far as she did continues to be a mystery!
Seriously people.....Jennifer's dance was superior to any of the others.
Will this show be Popularity for the Stars next time instead of DANCING WITH THE STARS??????????????
I won't watch it is this popularity thing continues.
