May 25, 2011 Hines wins! Hines wins!
Hines Ward may have lost the Super Bowl to Green Bay this year but he won the coveted mirror ball trophy on 'Dancing With the Stars'.
Ward, who impressed the judges the entire season, was a heavy favorite heading into the finale, and saved room to thank partner Kym Johnson, the judges and his fans for his incredible run.
May 24, 2011 It's now up to America to decide who wins the mirror ball trophy on Dancing With the Stars. Chelsea Kane and Hines Ward are tied at the top after last night's final round. Chelsea kicked things off, followed by Kirstie Alley and Hines closed the show. All had two dances. The first was chosen by the judges and then the infamous freestyle round, where anything goes.
May 18, 2011 For Ralph Macchio, it was close, but not close enough.
The 'Karate Kid' star was officially kicked out of the 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 competition Tuesday night, ending a somewhat rocky road to the semifinals.
Macchio, who began the season with an unexpectedly strong debut performance, thanked his fans and partner Karina Smirnoff for an unforgettable run on the show.
May 17, 2011 The show must go on. Hines Ward's partner Kym Johnson was taken to the hospital last week after getting hurt in Dancing With The Stars rehearsals. They were trying new tricks for the semi-finals, when Hines tripped and landed on Kym's neck, while flipping her over. It's hard to watch and she's lucky she wasn't permanently
May 11, 2011 Despite a solid run in the competition, 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 bid adieu to rapper Romeo, just one week before the semi-finals.
The 21-year-old, who received a standing ovation from the judges after he was eliminated, expressed mixed - but ultimately upbeat - thoughts on Tuesday's results show.
May 10, 2011 Actor Ralph Macchio had to channel his inner Daniel Larusso from The Karate Kid. Ironically he injured his knee in almost the same place his character in the movie was hurt. But that didn't stop him from hitting the dance floor on Dancing With the Stars
May 4, 2011 Finally!
After weeks of narrowly surviving the competition, 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 bid farewell to former Playmate-turned-reality star Kendra Wilkinson.
The elimination came just one day after Wilkinson and partner Louis van Amstel impressed the judges with their demanding Tango, though even that wasn't enough to keep them around for another week.
May 3, 2011 Just call him the come back kid. Ralph Macchio's partner fell last week on Dancing With the Stars and he was the one to pull it together on the dance floor. This week he scored his first 10 of the season with his quickstep. And keep in mind, Ralph is 49 years old, competing against a bunch of kids.
April 27, 2011 For Chris Jericho, it's time to stop believing.
The pro-wrestler officially got the boot from 'Dancing With the Stars' Tuesday night, after his tango to 'Don't Stop Believin'' on Monday earned the lowest score of the night (22).
Jericho took the news pretty well, and even saved some room for a little humor, telling the audience he had to catch a plane to attend the Royal wedding.
April 26, 2011 Karina Smirnoff ended Monday night’s episode of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ season 12 on a bit of a low note, when the 33-year-old beauty fell in the middle of the ballroom floor.
The tumble happened near the beginning of her Paso Doble routine, when she accidentally slipped on partner Ralph Macchio’s coat.
Luckily, the pair recover nicely — enough to receive a score of 24 out of 30 from the judges. Even better, it wasn’t even the lowest score of the night.
April 20, 2011 Petra Nemcova is officially out of style, as the 31-year-old model was eliminated tonight from ‘Dancing With the Stars’ season 12.
The results weren’t too surprising; Nemcova and partner Dmitry Chaplin’s quickstep tied for the lowest judges’ score on Monday (22).
Still, Nemcova was unable to fight back tears following her elimination, and later referred to her experience on ‘Dancing’ as “life-changing.”
April 19, 2011 The cast of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ season 12 showed their American pride this week, as each couple performed routines that honored our nation’s stars and stripes.
With the competition now at the halfway mark, the stakes have been raised, and each contestant brought their A-game in hopes of moving one quickstep closer to the mirror ball trophy.
So who actually made the grade? Relive the three most memorable moments from week 5′s performance night.
