Olympic Gold Medal Skater, Kristi Yamaguchi, is the second woman of the six seasons of Dancing With The Stars, to win the mirror ball trophy. The first being soap opera star Kelly Monaco in the first season of the show.

Kristi and partner Mark Ballas truly deserved to win since they have been amazing to watch all season long. They held nothing back and scored all 10s on their last three dances. This was the first time that a three dance sweep of perfect scores were earned by a team in DWTS finale history.

The charming runner-up, Jason Taylor, and his partner Edyta Silwinski told the host Samantha Harris that “Kristi very much deserves it.” The camaraderie and competition between Jason and Kristi was great entertainment to watch throughout the season and on last night’s finale show Jason’s final dance finally earned him 3 perfect 10s from the judges and he shouted to Kristi, “Hey Kristi, it does feel good!”

Finishing in third place was Latin hottie Cristian de la Fuente and his partner Cheryl Burke. Christian has been amazing in his last 3 weeks of dancing–dancing with just one arm since he’d torn his tendon on his left arm a few weeks ago and couldn’t put any stress on that arm–you could hardly tell he was injured. Oh, and he’s oh so hot too–did I mention that?

Check out the Kristi and Marc’s winning free style dance…

Mel B loved Dancing with the Stars so much that she’s signed a contract with Access Hollywood to be a special correspondent for Dancing with the Stars season. She will be meeting with the new contestants and following throughout their Dancing journey.

The new season starts on Monday, March 17th on ABC. Perhaps the most exciting cast yet includes:

Adam Corolla–comedian and radio host. He’ll be paired with reigning champion Julianne Hough. Adam found out who is partner was during his radio show broadcast and promptly told Julianne that he thought dance partners should move in with each other and live together throughout the season. She commented that it had been rumored that she was romantically involved with her previous partners but that it was all untrue.

Shannon Elizabeth–remember her from American Pie and That 70s Show? She’s paired with Julianne’s brother, Derek Hough (the guy who stepped on Jennie Garth’s dress last season–oops!).

Priscilla Presley–yep, Elvis Presley’s one and only wife (she’s also an actress and businesswoman). She’s paired with Louis Van Amstel.

Penn Jillette–Magician/Illusionist of Penn and Teller. We’ll see if he happens to have magical feet. He’s paired with Kym Johnson.

Jason Taylor–NFL Man of the Year–a huge guy: 6′6″ 255lbs! Should make for some interesting dancing. He’s paired with Edyta Sliwinska.

Kristi Yamaguchi–Olympic champion in figure skating. She’s gotta have an advantage for sure–should be fun to watch. Paired with Mark Ballas (Cheeta girl, Sabrina’s, ex-partner).

Steve Guttenberg–actor; starred in Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby, etc. He’s paired with Anna Trebunskaya (her husband is also on the show: Jonathan Roberts).

Mario–R&B star is paired with Karina Smirnoff.

Marlee Matlin–Academy Award winning actress paired with Fabian Sanchez.

Monica Seles–Grand Slam tennis champion paired with Jonathan Roberts (Anna’s husband).

Marissa Jaret Winokur–Broadway star paired with Tony Dovolani.

Christian De La Fuente–international film star paired with Cheryl Burke.

So, never heard of some of these people; but, I’d never heard of Helio Castroneves until last season either and how much did we all end up loving him!?!  I love that Dancing with the Stars brings people from all walks of life together on the dance floor.
