Derek Hough and Amber Riley Take the Mirror Ball Trophy
Surprisingly enough, the final two couples consisted of two actors who were already in the business: Corbin Bleu from High School Musical and his partner Karina Smirnoff, and Amber Riley from the hit TV show Glee and her partner Derek Hough. Although the scores were close, Amber and Derek were able to pull ahead, winning it all in the season finale. Although Corbin was in second place he was ecstatic for Riley, stating that "Amber had the statement of the night."
For the finale the couples had to choreograph a fusion: two types of dances into one in less than 24 hours. For Amber and Derek, they were given the quickstep and samba, two dances that are almost impossible to incorporate into one. However, during their performance they both managed to execute it flawlessly, impressing both the judges and the audience. With the perfect score they received plus the 64 points from Monday, they ended with a total of 94 points, beating the two other couples.
With Amber's large role in Glee she is already a big star, and winning the mirror ball trophy just adds to her fame. For Derek this is now his 5th mirror ball trophy, making him the only dancer to have won so many trophy's in all seasons of Dancing With The Stars. Along with his winning of an Emmy, I want to congratulate both Derek and Amber for giving such great performances during the show.
WE HOPE TO SEE DEREK BACK ON THE FLOOR IN DANCING WITH THE STARS IN SEASON 18.
