In a season full of shocks (how did stellar dancers like Charlie White and Danica McKellar not make the finals?), unwelcome surprises (ploys like the Switch-Up and guest judges such as she-beast Abby Lee Miller), and suffering (call the ambulance, there’s another injury!), Season 18 of Dancing With The Stars inevitably concluded with what truly matters most – one teary-eyed celeb getting her mitts on the famous Mirrorball trophy.

Though season 18 may be remembered as one of the most injury-plagued ever (let’s hope this ends with pro Mark Ballas’ scary, headline-generating shoulder injury over the weekend), the two-part Dancing With the Stars finale still pointed directly to Olympic ice dancing darling Meryl Davis as the hot favorite to be showered with glitter, confetti and Mirrorball glory tomorrow night.

It’s been a season of seemingly endless (and too often, forced) surprises — “Dance Duels” and “Switch-Ups,” be gone! — but thankfully, semi-finals night (also known as Week 9) of Dancing With the Stars put the ballroom battle of the final five fearless celebs front and center. READ MORE & WEIGH IN

Though the usual theme-night story lines were nowhere to be seen on Week 8 of Dancing With the Stars (what’s left after you’ve gone through Disney, Latin, and Party Anthems, right?) the battle surrounding our final six celebs — who all have (arguably) a realistic chance at the Mirrorball trophy – took center stage in the ballroom.

The ballroom went absolutely loco during Week 7 of Dancing With the Stars — AKA Latin Night! — with our seven remaining celebs doing double duty by performing both individual and team dances in their ongoing pursuit of the coveted Mirrorball trophy. READ MORE

Doesn’t it seem like ages since we’ve had a good, old-fashioned, sob-inducing elimination on Dancing With the Stars? Between the injury withdrawal of Billie Dee Williams and last week’s elimination-free Switch-Up, Season 18 has been sorely lacking the crackling tension of those agonizing/delicious moments waiting for our latest celeb casualty.

It’s only Week 4 of Dancing With The Stars, but apparently it’s already time to tantalize – or some might say torture – restless viewers with The Switch-Up, one of Season 18’s most controversial gimmicks. (Wait, wasn’t getting rid of poor Brooke Burke Charvet enough?) READ MORE

After last week’s somewhat-surprising double heave-ho of Diana Nyad and Sean Avery (were they really the worst dancers, dear voters?) and the premise of a first-ever partner swapping “Shake-Up” just a week away, the spotlight for Week 3 of Dancing With the Stars shifted to an old standby — the tear-stained “Most Memorable Year” themed dances.
