Dancing With the Stars Finals Results Live Blog

A two-hour season finale tonight where we will crown a new Dancing With the Stars champ.

Will it be Ricki, Rob or J.R.?  We will know very soon.

Here we go.

After an opening number with many of the current and past pros, we see all the former contestants parading around the stage.

Then a recap of last night's performances we get to see Lady Antebellum with their first performance of the night. 

Next some dancing.  In this round, the contestants get to redo a dance from one of the past weeks that they want to improve on.  Ricki and Derek are up first and they select their "Psycho" tango.  Another great performance.  Len called it a memorable dance and loved it.  

Rob and Cheryl are up next with their foxtrot.  This was the dance that Rob dedicated to his dad.  We'll get scores after everyone is completed.

Next up is the popular J.R. Martinez and Karina.  They decide to do a jive and make a few changes from when they did it the first time.  It was a little rough in spots, but lots of energy and fun was to be had. 

Here's the scoring.  Rob and Cheryl get 26 points, J.R. and Karina get 28, and Ricki and Derek pull in another 30 points.

We are about to see one couple get eliminated.  Factoring in audience votes with the judges totals we see that Ricki and Derek in a surprise are eliminated.

J.R. and Rob now will have to do one final dance, and it will be an instant dance.

We are down to two couples and one trophy is going to be awarded.  Both teams are going to do a samba to a Ricky Martin song.  J.R. will go first and Rob will go second.

Now, since we are about half-way through the show we look back at the eliminated contestants. 

While the couples are hard at work learning their instant dance, more eliminated contestants hit the dance floor.  That included Carson Kressley dancing with guys.  The fun continues with Chaz Bono coming up. 

Chaz was followed by a performance bt David Arquette and Kym Johnson.

Up next are the instant sambas.  J.R. first and as usual it was high energy.  Rob's was flashy, but not all that difficult.  The judges had some nice things to say and it's going to be a photo finish.

Here are the final set of scores for J.R. and Karina.  They get 30 out of 30.

Rob and Cheryl's scores are coming up.  Rob gets a 30 as well.

The mirror ball trophy is about to be awarded.  Three months of hardwork and lots of fan's votes results in J.R. and Karina being popular winners in Season 13.

Congrats to J.R. and Karina.

Dancing With the Stars Halloween Results: David is Gone

The couples turned in some scary performances last night on Halloween.  Most were treats, but there were a few tricks thrown in as well.

Nancy Grace had the lowest scores of the night and she could be in trouble tonight.

We also had the team dances last night and the team of Ricki, Hope and Rob won in convincing fashion.  
Ricki Lake should be more than safe tonight with the highest score after she spent the week nursing a rib injury.  It should be a close call tonight.

Here we go.

Unfortunately the show leads off with Justin Bieber.  That's all I will say about him.

An encore dance this week with Team Paso and their team dance.  

On to the first results.  Rob and Cheryl and the team of Nancy and Tristian are first up.  Rob scored high last night and Nancy was at the bottom.  Nancy and Tristian are in the bottom two.  Rob and Cheryl advance to next week.

Next up, the AT&T Spotlight Dance.  Victoria had a tumor in her brain.  She was only 14, but had been a dancer her whole life.  She rehabbed and learned how to walk again.  Two months after her surgery, she performed in the Nutcracker and made a great comeback.  She did great performing on the big stage. 

Moving on to a Derek Hough choreographed dance to take up some more time.  

More results.  J.R. and Karina along with Ricki and Karina.  Ricki and Derek are moving on, and J.R. and Karina are also safe.

More Justin Bieber with a Christmas song.  

The final prelim result involves Hope and Maks along with David and Kym. Hope and Maks are safe and not in the bottom for once.  David and Kym are in jeopardy and in the bottom two.

Four couples safe and a very nervous looking Nancy and David up for elimination.  After all the votes were added, going home this week will be... David and Kym.  Nancy will be back. 

Each couple will have two dances next week and one is the instant dance.

Dancing With the Stars Results Show: The Girl Next Door is Out the Door

After tonight, five will be alive on Season 12 of Dancing With the Stars.  Who will go?  Will it be Kendra and her attitude?  Will it be Romeo, he struggled a bit last night.  Kirstie will need the votes of her fans to stay around for another week or two.

All tonight....Liveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We begin the show with the an encore performance of the team dance featuring Chelsea, Ralph and Romeo. 

First up to find out their results are Hines and Kym, and Kirstie and Maks.  First a commercial break.

Here come the results.  Hines and Kym are safe, no surprise there.  Kirstie and Maks are in jeopardy. 

Next up is a song from the overrated Nicki Minaj.  I don't get it.  We did get to see Lacey and Chelsie Hightower dance to her song, so it wasn't all bad.

Up next was an inspiring story featuring ballet dancer Patricia Zhou.  Patricia is on her way to becoming one of the best ballet dancers in the world, even though she has been in ballet for only four years.  She did a nice ballet routine with some moves that made me sore just watching her. 

More eliminations coming up.  Called to the carpet are Ralph and Karina and the team of Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas.

It turns out that Ralph and Karina are safe to dance again while Chelsea and Mark are still in jeopardy.

Next, something a little different with the Macy's Stars of Dance.  Wayne Brady and a bunch of dancers did a tribute to James Brown.  Wayne is a triple threat.  He's a comic and also a very talented dancer and singer.  He could do this tribute to James Brown in Vegas and it would be a hit.

We also got to see a little behind the scenes feature where the pros tell the celebs what they need to do in the coming weeks to be a better dancer.

Our final performer of the night was singer James Blunt.  He sang his new song and we got to see a Latin dance performance with Maks' brother Val and a dancer named Dasha.

The last two couples to find out their fate are Romeo and Chelsie and the pairing of Kendra and Louis. 

The next team safe is Romeo and Chelsie.  Kendra and Louis find themselves in jeopardy. 

Three teams remain in jeopardy.  The next couple safe is Kirstie and Maks.  Going home this week is... Kendra and Louis.  Chelsie Kane and Mark Ballas will be back.

DWTS Results: The Walls of Jericho Come Down

Last night was a show of semi-bad music mixed with semi-good dancing.  Tonight we find out who will be the next star going home.

It could be the wrestler who lacked confidence, or might it be the former Playboy Playmate turned reality star.  Ralph Macchio and Karina had a slight fall last night, will that cost him?

Here's the results show.

More guilty pleasures as the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys kicked off the show.

Here come the eliminations, starting with Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas as well as Romeo and Chelsie.  They were the top scoring teams last night.  Romeo and Chelsie Hightower are safe.  Chelsie Kane and Mark are also safe.

Next we got to see an encore presentation of Kendra and Louis' dance from last night.  Then an interview with Ralph and Karina.  They talked about their mishap from last night and how they recovered from it.

Up for elimination next are Hines and Kym as well as Kirstie and Maks.  They love putting Maks in jeopardy to see his facial reaction.  As expected, Hines and Kym are safe and in a surprise, Kirstie and Maks are also safe.

The Macy's Stars of Dance this week does a take on the upcoming Royal Wedding.

More New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys.  

Next up is Pia Toscano singing with her boyfriend Mark Ballas and Karina dancing.  She does have a nice voice.  

The bottom three evidently is Chris Jericho, Kendra and Ralph. 

One of these couples is safe.  It will be Kendra and Louis.

That leaves either Chris of Ralph heading home. 

The votes have been counted, the judge's scores are registered, it's Chris and Cheryl heading home.  Ralph will dance again next week.

Dancing With the Stars Results: Mike Needs a "Love Line"

The producers of Dancing With the Stars have done it again.  If it wasn't enough to have the first results show of the season tonight, singer/dancer/abuser/tempermental Chris Brown has been booked to appear on the show.

This, in my estimation is quite unusual for DWTS.  It prides itself on being family entertainment and the majority of its viewers are women, so having Chris Brown appear is either 1) a publicity stunt, 2) someone blew it by booking him, or 3)someone owed a favor to another party and this is the payback.
I'm interested to see how the unflappable Tom Bergeron handles the situation.  He has already said on Twitter that he won't hold back on what he would ask Brown, so Bergeron may be off camera when Brown is being introduced etc.

Well enough about that, there is an actual show tonight.

Let's get started with some results.  Our three athletes are first up.

After two weeks of voting and judge's marks, Hines Ward is safe.  Also coming back is Chris Jericho.  A big improvement from week 1 to week 2 for Chris.  Sugar Ray is currently in jeopardy.

Chris Brown is up next and he received a good amount of applause.  I just don't get it, or him.

I guess he was ok.

On to more results.

Kirstie Alley and Maks have been the surprise of season 12 for me so far.  Chelsea Kane shows a lot of potential, and Ralph Macchio is the fan favorite.  The next couple safe is Ralph and Karina.  Kirstie and Maks are also safe.  Chelsea and Mark are also safe.

After introducing and watching the new dance troupe, the results continue.  with Romeo and Mike Catherwood.  Not a surprise, Romeo and Chelsie are safe.  Mike and Lacey are in jeopardy. 

Next, more Chris Brown.  Notice how Tom Bergeron didn't even want to say his name.  He called him "our special guest."

Three women are still waiting for their results.  Petra, Wendy, and Kendra are up now.  Moving to next week are Kendra and Petra.  Wendy Williams is in jeopardy.  

Sugar Ray, Mike and Wendy are on notice.  Being brought to safety is Wendy and Tony.  Also safe is Sugar Ray and Anna.  Mike and Lacey are done.
