Bow down to the Yamaguchi

Little Kristy won the mirror ball last night on Dancing with the Stars, becoming the first woman since bitchy Kelly Monaco to win the title. Good for you, Kristy!

I didn't watch the first season of the show when it was down to Kelly and J. Peterman, himself, John O'Hurley. I do remember my mother raging when Kelly won. Good gracious, you would have thought someone took The Nanny out of syndication, she was so pissed off. Other fans were also outraged, so they held Dancing with the Stars: Dance-off, and O'Hurley won. You know Monaco is a sore loser, so I'm sure things on the General Hospital set were icy for at least a month.

That was then and this is now. Season six of the show saw Kristy clearly impressing the judges right from the start. She and partner Mark Ballas were the highest scoring couple in the history of the show, and brought their A-game each week. Score one for the shorties!

Runner up was football player Jason Taylor, who, in addition to being hot, was extremely charming and gracious. His partner was Edyta Sliwinsksa, making her way to the Finals for the first time. In addition to having no body fat, Edyta is known for wearing some of the skimpiest outfits in the history of dance competitions. Seeing her is my motivation to eat more ice cream, as it really is a losing cause to try to get my hip bones that pointy. Pass the New York Super Fudge Chunk!

Can't wait to see what D-Listers and sports figures tie up their dance shoes for Season 7. Shannen Doherty should totally do it if she isn't going to get her ass on the new 90210. I bet she would cut someone if she didn't get a good score. She'll hide a knife in her bra if need be. Oh, the drama!
