It's been a Dancing with the Stars season to remember.
The injuries. The drama. The personal stories that moved us. The moves on the floor that thrilled us. A cast of stars so engaging and evenly matched that the field was as competitive as it was entertaining from the start.
In terms of making the most out of one's ability, Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmkerovskiy are as stellar as Dancing With the Stars pairs come.
Ditto Hines Ward and Kym Johnson. But in terms of pure talent and grace under fire, Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas may have the slight edge.
All three finalists proved themselves deserving of the Mirror Ball last night.
There can be only one champion of Dancing With the Stars, though, and more than likely, it will come down to one of two couples on this evening's results show.
Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas all but assured their place in next week's finale by taking a Winner Take All dance in Monday's Dancing With the Stars semis.
We can debate whether or not this new scoring wrinkle is fair, but what's not up for debate is how far the Disney Channel star has come in recent weeks.
Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas may not have started off slowly this season on Dancing With the Stars, but they were definitely under the radar.
After dancing to the top of the scoreboard last night, they won't have that problem the rest of the season, however long their run might last.
It won't guarantee their safety in a reality show voted on by millions of fans, but Ralph Macchio, Hines Ward and Chelsea Kane proved they were a cut above the rest of the competition last night on Dancing With the Stars.
The Karate Kid and Karina Smirnoff quickstepped to the top spot after their fall (literal and otherwise) last week, joining Hines and Kym Johnson with 66 each.
Monday was "guilty pleasure night" on Dancing With the Stars, an event that kicked off with Hanson rocking out to its famous '90s hit "Mmmbop."
That pretty much set the tone for the night.
Lauren Conrad's ex-boyfriend, Stephen Colletti, is dating Chelsea Kane, the Disney and Dancing with the Stars cutie, according to new reports.
"We were set up on a blind date by my manager," Kane says.
A week ago, Kirstie Alley fell to the floor, only to make a full recovery on Dancing With the Stars. Unfortunately, she suffered another mishap last night.
This time, it was a footwear malfunction. Kirstie and Maksim Chmerkovskiy had to fight through more adversity as Alley's left shoe fell off in mid-waltz.
