It was clear for many people from the very start that Kristi Yamaguchi was going to be a strong contender to beat. But with the fact that men seem to be able to grab the audience was a tough challenge that Kristi gladly took on. The viewers of Dancing with the Stars is about 75% women so Kristi knew she was up against tough competitors and both Jason Taylor, a pro football star and Cristián de la Fuente, an actor, never hesitated to show off some skin for the female viewers every chance they got.

The season finale was filled with suspense as the three remaining teams took to the stage for one last performance. It was clear with a perfect score of 60 that Kristi and her partner Mark Ballas were very well deserving of being awarded the mirror ball trophy and winning the competition.
