The DWTS Finals Results Show Live

Well, it's live on my TV!

There isn't that much to report on really as the only meaningful things are three new dances and the announcement of the winner.

It's nice to see all of the stars again of course, and we had an excellent opening routine with all of the pros (including the troupe) and the celebrities not in the final.

Donald and Peta's freestyle was the spotlight dance. It really was very good, but isn't it a disadvantage to have to perform an extra time?

Brooke's hair looks much better tonight, last night it looked a little like a rat's nest!

Sherri Shepherd and Val gave us a unique performance to "It's Raining Men". A number of male pros descended from the ceiling.

Next up was Martina Navratilova, who I really like by the way, showing why she was the first to be eliminated. We also had the always smiling Jack Wagner and Anna Jack's not too bad actually, her would have gone further if the talent wasn't so high this season.

Gavin DeGraw is back with the boat! The one that got him eliminated! He's dancing with four pros this time but he still seems to be sinking.

And here's Gladys, lovely to watch, she and Tristan really seem to enjoy it.

Apparently, Jaleel White has always wanted to do the Paso Doble to the theme from Shaft. Who knew? It's pretty good actually. The multi-dancer routines have been excellent tonight.

Melissa is back re-enjoying her trio dance with the Chmerkovskiy brothers, except this time they grabbed her buttocks.

Roshon really wanted to do a hip hop freestyle dance so he and Chelsie were given their chance. To be blunt I don't think he would have got a 30 from the judges, but it was pretty good just the same.

And finally, in terms of eliminated couples we have Maria and Derek with a Tango. Really quick excellent.

And do to the final performances.

William and Cheryl - Salsa - 30 - a perfect salsa as far as I can tell. "Nobody Does it better than William" said Bruno.

Katherine and Mark - Jive - 30 - high energy dance that you expect from Mark. Seemed to miss a couple of moves to me but I don't think anyone is going to be scored badly on the last night. The judges were effusive and generic in their comments.

Donald and Peta - Cha Cha Cha - 30 - shirtless and fun. The judges said stuff that was pretty meaningless really. Len thought he was the best football player on the show ever.

So the judges' scores are pretty meaningless as there is a point separating the couples - Katherine/Mark on 90 and the others on 89.

It's down to the viewers' votes!

But first Ms Gladys Knight sings...The Way We Were. While see sings (beautifully) there are really creepy giant screens behind the three couples showing their stories.

It's time! The third place couple is...

William Levy and Cheryl Burke

I had them winning, so what do I know?

So we have Katherine and Mark, Donald and Peta.

The champions of Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars are...

Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd!

Obviously Katherine and Mark were second.

  1. Where can we find out how many call-in votes each couple received?
