Dancing with the Stars

Kellie Pickler is your Season 16 Dancing with the Stars winner.

When the former American Idol star heard host Tom Bergeron announce that she and partner Derek Hough won, she was almost at a loss for words.

Kellie Pickler Wins Dancing With the Stars

“Oh my god,” exclaimed an ecstatic Pickler, saying she never for a minute envisioned prevailing. “No, not at all. This is amazing. Oh my God!!!”

“Grandpa Ken, we got you the trophy, buddy,” cheered Hough.

That would be a reference to Kellie's grandfather, Ken Morton, a longtime fan of the dance show who's been following K-Pick every week.

Jessica Sanchez performed a reality competition crossover last night.

The former American Idol runner-up took to the stage before the Dancing with the Stars winner was crowned, belting out a version of "Feel This Moment."

Elsewhere on the concluding episode, PSY danced it up to his hit "Gentleman" while Pitbull and ex-contestant Wynonna Judd were also featured.

On the night the Dancing With the Stars winner was crowned, the show likely saw its most perplexing live performance in 16 seasons on ABC.

Then again, would you expect anything less from this man?

PSY continued is run of live performances (American Idol, Live with Kelly Ripa) by bringing "Gentleman" to the Dancing With the Stars finale Tuesday.

The South Korean star performed his hit single in all its catchy, pelvic-thrusting, seizure-inducing glory, and as always, it was nothing short of awesome.

Watch PSY bring "Gentleman" to DWTS below:

Who will advance to the finals on Dancing With the Stars?

With five celebs and four spots to be claimed, it was up to Jacoby Jones or Ingo Rademacher to step up and take the fourth alongside the three female standouts.

Jacoby appeared to do just that last night, tying for first.

Rademacher, meanwhile, turned in a respectable effort in both of his routines, but still finished well back of the pack. Would he be sent packing as expected?

Let's find out. The field for the Season 16 finals is set.

With four spots in the Dancing With the Stars finals on the line this week, the question was whether Jacoby Jones and Ingo Rademacher would get the fourth.

Based on last night, it looks like the former has the clear edge.

  Aly Raisman - Dancing With the Stars Semifinals (Rumba)
• 
  Aly Raisman - Dancing With the Stars Semifinals (Afro Jazz)

The NFL star rose to the occasion, tying for the lead with Aly Raisman and earning season highs with 30 and 29 points in his two routines Monday.

Of the 10 total routines on Monday, four received perfect 30s.

Kellie Pickler and Zendaya Coleman were also strong, while soap opera star Ingo, despite his pair of respectable efforts, ended up at the bottom.

Sean Lowe is upset that he was voted off on last night's Dancing With the Stars results show after eight weeks ... but at the same time, he's not TOO upset.

The Bachelor hunk said, as the results were revealed, "It's always going to eat at me. I wish I performed better last night, but overall I'm proud of myself."

Next up? A well-deserved breather the exhausted star.

"This whole thing is a lot to handle," he said of his ABC reality TV run. "I've gone from one show to the next the last 12 to 14 months, something like that."

"It's nice now that I can take a deep breath."

Who will advance to the final five on Dancing With the Stars?

Kellie Pickler, Aly Raisman and Zendaya Coleman. No doubt.

The three women have been the best all season long, leaving two spots - and three men vying for them - as we headed into this evening's results show.

Given this week's scores, Jacoby Jones appeared to have the edge over Ingo Rademacher and Sean Lowe, who came in a distant last Monday.

In fact, it looked very difficult for The Bachelor to pull this out, and he did end up in the bottom two - along with NFL star Jacoby, in a bit of a surprise.

Did he? The contestant leaving the ballroom tonight is ...

If three's a crowd, you would not know it by some of the routines on Dancing with the Stars on Monday, in which the remaining pairs added an extra pro.

The trio dances added complexity, emotion, sass and sizzle ... well, mostly. Kellie Pickler's effort inspired a meltdown from judge Len Goodman.

• 
  Kellie Pickler - Dancing With the Stars Week 8 (Paso Doble)
• 
  Kellie Pickler - Dancing With the Stars Week 8 (Waltz)

For a few moments it looked like Kellie's brooding paso doble with Derek Hough and Tristan MacManus would match Zendaya's near-perfect effort.

Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli lavished 10s on the trio, but Len offered a 7 ... and some harsh words. And finger pointing. And insults at Bruno.

Even Tom Bergeron quipped, "Someone hose him down."
