Donald took home the Mirror Ball trophy after wowing judges on Monday night. Driver beat out his fellow finalists William Levy and Katherine Jenkins for the title.
All three finalist couples brought it last night. Nearly perfect tens all around. Katherine Jenkins pulled slightly ahead, simply by being perfect.
Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas wowed the judges with their paso doble. In the judges’ eyes, it was a display that brought her back to the beginning

How could this happen? Menounos usually gets the highest votes each week AND she topped the leader board during Monday night’s performances.
I guess making out with your partner can only save you for so long.
An All-star edition of the ABC dancing hit series is official. And the internet is exploding opinions of which 12 dancers should return for the epic dance-off.
Some of the “DWTS” stars are even weighing in with their opinions.
Last night’s semifinals brought out the best performances from the remaining DWTS contestants: Donald Driver, Katherine Jenkins, William Levy and Maria Menounos.
However, it was Katherine Jenkins who stole the show. Not necessarily because she had the best performance, but because she provided last night’s injury quota.

The show kicked off with an encore performance of the trio dance, with threesome Donald Driver, Peta Murgatroyd, and Karina Smirnoff jiving once more. Then Donald and partner Peta learned they were safe from elimination, but Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas were in jeopardy.

To remain in the competition, they would have to excel at two full dances: an individual ballroom and, for the first time in the show’s history, a dance trio.
In the first round, actor William Levy in a tux and Cheryl Burke, wearing a long feather dress and elbow length black gloves, danced to the top of the pack. Against the backdrop of Paris, their energizing foxtrot earned a perfect score, with each judge awarding a 10.
“Dancing with the Stars” has it all figured out. And the final Dance Duel of the season set up Disney star Roshon Fegan and partner Chelsie Hightower in a dance off with “Family Matters” man Jaleel White and his partner Kym Johnson.
Roshon and Jaleel have faced certain elimination in a Dance Duel before

Sure, it’s not the first time a contestant has earned a perfect score, but Menounos was the first to earn a coveted 10 from critical judge Len Goodman this season.
Let’s break it down. Monday was Classical Night. Contestants performed an individual routine in addition to a team dance. Menounos and partner Derek Hugh performed the Paso Doble.

Mario recently made headlines when it was rumored that he would be joining an all-star cast of “Dancing With The Stars.” He accidentally spilled the beans on a recent co-hosting gig on “Live! with Kelly.”
